And this is 1966. There's no CNN.
There's no CNBC. There's no Internet.
:02:10
Fast-forward to today.
Present time, same situation.
:02:14
How quickly would the media
make a frenzy? In hours.
:02:18
It would be the biggest story from
Boston to Budapest.
:02:23
Ten hostages die.
:02:25

- No.
:03:25
Homophobia.
:03:26
Bad guy can't win.
It's a morality tale.
:03:29
One way or the other,
he's gotta go down.
:03:35
Well, life is stranger
than fiction sometimes.
:03:45
You know, guys, I gotta go.
:03:49
Gotta jet.
:03:52
Thanks for the coffee.
