1:28:01
I mean, what's wrong
with you?
1:28:03
You'll hump
a baseball glove?
1:28:05
l-l just used it
for cleanup.
1:28:08
- [ Laughing ]
- Stop jerkin' off in my mother's room.
1:28:12
- Is there another V.C.R. in the house?
- It's just sad, bro.
1:28:16
So why do you think I should work
for the National Security Agency?
1:28:21
Well, you'd be working
on the cutting edge.
1:28:24
You'd be exposed to
the kind of technology
you wouldn't see anywhere else,
1:28:27
because we've classified it.
1:28:30
Superstring theory,
chaos math, advanced algorithms.
1:28:33
Code breaking.
1:28:36
That's one aspect
of what we do.
1:28:39
Oh, come on.
That is what you do.
1:28:42
You guys handle 80% of
the intelligence workload.
1:28:44
You're seven times
the size of the C.I.A.
1:28:47
We don't like to brag about that, Will,
but you're exactly right.
1:28:52
So the way I see it,
the question isn't:
1:28:56
"Why should you work
for the N.S.A.?"
1:28:59
The question is:
"Why shouldn't you?"
1:29:01
Why shouldn't
I work for the N.S.A.?
1:29:05
That's a tough one,
but I'll take a shot.
1:29:09
Say I'm workin' at the N.S.A.
and somebody puts a code on my desk.
1:29:11
Something no one else
can break.
1:29:13
Maybe I take a shot at it
and maybe I break it.
1:29:15
I'm real happy with myself
because I did my job well.
1:29:18
But maybe that code was
the location of some rebel army
in North Africa or Middle East.
1:29:21
Once they have that location, they bomb
the village where the rebels are hidin'.
1:29:24
Fifteen hundred people that I never met,
never had no problem with, get killed.
1:29:28
Now the politicians are saying, "Send in
the Marines to secure the area,"
1:29:31
'cause they don't give a shit.
1:29:33
It won't be their kid
over there gettin' shot,
1:29:35
just like it wasn't them when
their number got called 'cause
they were in the National Guard.
1:29:38
It'll be some kid from Southie
over there takin' shrapnel in the ass.
1:29:41
He comes back to find the plant
he used to work at...
1:29:43
got exported to the country
he got back from,
1:29:45
and the guy who put the shrapnel
in his ass got his old job...
1:29:48
'cause he'll work for 15 cents
a day and no bathroom breaks.
1:29:50
Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason
he was over there in the first place...
1:29:53
was so we could install a government
that would sell us oil at a good price.
1:29:56
Of course, the oil companies
used a skirmish over there
to scare up domestic oil prices.
