• Bob Lee Swagger : The Archbishop?

  Michael Sandor : You want to take all suspicions away when you shoot someone, wait 'til he's standing next to the President.

  Bob Lee Swagger : What was he going to say?

  Michael Sandor : The truth. That nothing, no matter how horrible, ever really happens without the approval of the government. Over there, and here. The problem isn't the doing. It's the people in power having to admit that they knew. The prisoners are tortured at Abu Ghraib, and only the underlings go to jail. Their bosses knew. We know their bosses knew. But you don't say it.

  Bob Lee Swagger : What exactly happened in Africa?

  Michael Sandor : Somehow the villagers didn't think that an oil pipeline was a good enough reason to move their village to a place where the spirit gods didn't exist. Drink?

  Bob Lee Swagger : They asked them all nicely to move, and when they didn't, they just killed them all?

  Michael Sandor : No, they didn't ask. They just killed them... all... so the next village won't need to be asked. They'll just go.

• Michael Sandor : Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger, USMC, retired. He is the best there is.

  Louis Dobbler : His last assignment went wrong. Put in unfriendly territory on a loan-out and left as expendable. Opposing force sent an attack helicopter and a hundred-man company. His best friend and spotter was killed. No official report.

  Jack Payne : Ghost report says he inflicted 70 percent casualties; the rest fled.

  Louis Dobbler : The Agency asset that left him there to die? Suddenly removed from the face of the earth two weeks after. They never laid it at Bob Lee's feet. He retired a week later.

  Colonel Isaac Johnson : I guess Bob Lee didn't think he was expendable.

• Colonel Isaac Johnson : Sometimes to catch a wolf you need to tie the bait to a tree.

  Michael Sandor : Then what happens to the bait.

  Colonel Isaac Johnson : Hard to say, but thats the nature of being the bait.

• Michael Sandor : You killed all three?

  Bob Lee Swagger : There were four.
