- Russ Montgomery: What special honor brings you to my office?
- Penelope Garcia: Where's my octopus coffee mug?
- Russ Montgomery: Excuse me?
- Penelope Garcia: Uh-uh, don't! Beth, from carpool, told me she saw you take it from the kitchen
- [start searching the office]
- Russ Montgomery: Have you asked yourself why you're listening to someone whose glasses are thicker than old coke bottles?
- Penelope Garcia: Beth's stigmatism has no bearing on her veracity
- Russ Montgomery: I think Beth is just a little bitter that someone didn't give her a call back after the first date.
- Penelope Garcia: What?
- [stops searching]
- Russ Montgomery: She had an indefensible position on Moore's Law
- Penelope Garcia: Semiconductor density is a super sexy topic! With transistors approaching single atom width, Moore's law is only relevant for...
- Russ Montgomery: She thought it was invented by Roger Moore and enforced by the 007
- Penelope Garcia: Oh, but it doesn't preclude her having seen you taking my octopus cup fof drinking
- Russ Montgomery: Except the fact that I don't drink coffee
- Penelope Garcia: Oh, good point. Hug it out?
- Russ Montgomery: Not necessary.
- [Garcia hugs him anyway]
- Russ Montgomery: Okay
- Penelope Garcia: [while walking out of the room] LAN-party, Wednesday, my crib
- Russ Montgomery: Of course, I'll bring the bean dip
- Penelope Garcia: BYOC
- Russ Montgomery: [Checks Garcia has left] I don't drink coffee
- [walks to a drawer]
- Russ Montgomery: and do enjoy
- [opens it, and picks out the octopus mug]
- Russ Montgomery: a nice cup of tea
- Russ Montgomery: I think these guys are CIA. Should we give the company a call?
- Jack Garrett: If we want to wait 6 months for a definitive answer
- Matt Simmons: How'd that go?
- Jack Garrett: Not sure
- Clara Seger: What'd you say?
- Jack Garrett: I threaded that the US would pull aid to Egypt
- Mae Jarvis: You can do that?
- Jack Garrett: You think I can?
- Mae Jarvis: I don't know
- Jack Garrett: Then it's working
- Russ Montgomery: [opening quote] "Listen to your convictions, even if they seem absurd to your reason" - Egypt proverb
- Clara Seger: How could we expect her to tell us the truth with the Egyptian military standing right there?
- Mae Jarvis: Oh, speaking of, Monty was able to get us Jabir's medical records, and there have been several pages redacted, so there are things that they don't want us to know
- Matt Simmons: They might become a problem, Jack
- Jack Garrett: That's why I suggested we use the plane as a base
- Matt Simmons: Every since the military coupe, I'm sure everything the Egyptian are offering is bugged
- Jack Garrett: Well, not to mention we share very views about what democracy means
- Russ Montgomery: Hey guys, on Malik's phone I found some text messages
- Matt Simmons: I thought the red phone application erased all messages?
- Russ Montgomery: The messages do, but the senders don't. The thing about the 256-bits cipher is that it's designed to protect against brute force attacks on consumer grade hardware. It's not really intended to protect against the unmitigated power of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency
- Mae Jarvis: Hey, let's try that again in English
- Jack Garrett: Khan El-Khalili market is the original burial site for the Fatimid dynasty, who founded Cairo
- Matt Simmons: Wow
- Jack Garrett: Wow, yeah, that's exactly what the ancient Romans said when they saw it, around 100 AD
- [Matt laughs]
