Quotes1

  • Reynolds: Mr. President, I believe it to be critical that an extension be given to this particular situation.
  • President McCloskey: [via videoconference] No. No way.
  • Reynolds: But Mr. President, the Premier is only asking for another 24 hours. He wants the approval of the Moroccan parliament. He fears a civil war if he acts without their backing.
  • President McCloskey: Fuck 'em. I told them two weeks ago-if they didn't agree to dismantling that factory under our supervision-we'd bomb the shit out of it. They got one hour to agree-otherwise, bombs away.
  • Reynolds: But Mr. President, the installation is only five miles outside of Rabat. The nuclear fallout could be apocalyptic.

  • Reynolds: This Moroccan business is different. The Premier is in an impossible situation with the border dispute in Algeria, and the unrest in his military. The President does not understand the complexity of the matter. Now he may be an average person, but I can assure you
  • [that the]
  • Reynolds: leaders of other nations are NOT average. They are subtle, sophisticated men, and dealing with them takes great skill, patience, and diplomacy.
  • Voice over intercom: Sir, the Moroccan Premier has agreed to the terms of the President's ultimatum.
  • Newman: [sarcastically] As you were saying...
