The Defector (1985)

Robert Joy: Jacob Stock

Quotes 

• Robert McCall : [Irate]  You hung me out to dry on this.

  Control : I told you minimum backup.

  Robert McCall : Minimum? I didn't get any backup. Your fair haired young man, cut and ran as soon as the noise started.

  Control : He was operating to my instructions.

  Robert McCall : Your instructions to him were to bungle the cross over?

  Control : He was instructed to minimise his exposure. I wasn't going to blow his cover or the cover of any East Coast operative for a worthless defector.

  Robert McCall : Worthless?

  Robert McCall : [Stock enters the room]  Stock! There's your worthless one.

  Jacob Stock : You have any complaints about me McCall?

  Robert McCall : Mister!... McCall. You are just a common garden variety coward, you're not even worth discussing.

  Jacob Stock : I was acting under orders.

  Robert McCall : Yes, orders. The famous excuse for brutality and cowardice.
