Brig. Gen. Delevane
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: [into a phone] Yes?
- [pause]
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: How can that happen?
- [pause]
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: Look here, mister... I don't want explanations. I want results! You call Colonel Harker right now and tell him that he has 36 hours to get back on schedule or his command is terminated! Do you understand me?
- [pause]
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: Good. Keep me informed.
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: I can assure you gentlemen that everything is under control and you have nothing... absolutely nothing to worry about.
- Michaelson: Don't stroke me, Delevane! This scheme was your idea. My involvment was purely contingent upon your personal abilities to bring this project to a prompt and promptable conclusion within the time frame established by you. And quite frankly, General, I'm beginning to doubt those abilities.
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: Listen, Mr. Michaelson, I told you that a project of this magnatiude never really reaches its conclusion without some temporary setbacks none of which I might add are unsolvable.
- Michaelson's Friend: General, our clients have nearly 100 million dollars at stake. They're not intrested in temporary setbacks. Only results.
- Brig. Gen. George Delevane: They'll have the results and so will I. Everything will proceed on schedule. You have my word.
- Michaelson's Friend: Remember, General... public officials that go down... go down very, very fast.
