Peter Friedman: Attorney General Brown

Quotes 

• Attorney General Brown : We knew Decker was trying to design something. But when he sold his plans, he wasn't even halfway done.

  Agent Klein : I don't understand.

  Attorney General Brown : Decker was working at JPL on a laser-enhanced lens. He claimed the lens was powerful enough to see around the curvature of the universe.

  [He picks up a red apple to demonstrate] 

  Attorney General Brown : Decker believed that if you could see around a curve that went on forever, you would end up back where you started. Looking at yourself.

  [Brown tosses the apple to Klein] 

  Agent Dodge : Except you're not looking back at yourself now, in the present.

  Attorney General Brown : No, you are not. You're looking at the future.

  [Klein understands now] 

  Attorney General Brown : Can you imagine what'll happen if Jennings figures out what he's done and tries to profit from it? Any nation in the world would give him a king's ransom.

  Agent Dodge : Jennings won't do that. I was this close to him. He never lied. When he heard what he's being accused of, he was hurt and scared.

  Attorney General Brown : Fine! Once you bring him in, I'll give him the Medal of Honor. That's if Rethrick doesn't find him first!
