• Consul Phil Putnam : Please try to understand. There are so many cases. They're all so important, and this isn't the only one we're working on.

  Ed Horman : It's the only one I care about.

  Consul Phil Putnam : You and a lot of other people. Listen, I've never seen so many cables from Washington. What kind of pull do you have up there anyway?

  Ed Horman : I'm an American citizen.

• Consul Phil Putnam : Listen, Mr Horman, I wish there was something we could say or do.

  Ed Horman : Well, there's something I'm going to do. I'm going to sue you, Phil. And Tower and the Ambassador and everybody who let that boy die. We're going to make it so hot for you you'll wish you were stationed in the Antarctic.

  Consul Phil Putnam : Well, I guess that's your privilege.

  Ed Horman : No, that's my right! I just thank God we live in a country where we can still put people like you in jail.
