:21:02
Ma'am. Why is it you guys who carry guns
always sound like cowboys?

:21:10
I don't concentrate on faces in my job.
:21:13
But you listen to voices.
:21:16
Do you think you could identify the voice?
:21:19
Well, I'd say yes, if it were...
It was almost a whisper.

:21:24
Whispers disguise the quality of a voice.
:21:28
You, I imagine, study faces.
:21:37
- You know, I'm not really a dignitary.
- I know.

:21:45
How'd you happen to be up there after hours?
:21:48
We had an evacuation.
I'd left some things in the sound booth.

:21:52
And there just happened to be some fellas
talking about an assassination

:21:56
in a language that you and eight other people
understand, in a room full of microphones.

:22:02
Do you think I'm making it up?
:22:05
Why would I report a threat I didn't hear?
:22:08
- People do.
- I don't.

:22:10
- Some people like attention.
- I don't.

:22:15
- You don't want Zuwanie here.
- I didn't make it up.

:22:18
- How do you feel about him?
- I don't care for him.

:22:22
- Wouldn't mind if he were dead?
- If he were gone.

:22:25
- Same thing.
- No, it isn't.

:22:27
If I interpreted "gone" as "dead", I'd be fired.
If they were the same, there'd be no UN.

:22:32
- Your professiĆ³n is playing with words.
- I don't play with words.

:22:36
- You're doing it now.
- You are.

:22:37
If I wanted him dead, I wouldn't have
reported it. It's not what I want.

:22:42
- That's not why I'm here.
- Here?

:22:44
Working at the UN, instead of standing
on a road somewhere with a machine-gun.

:22:49
- You believe in diplomacy?
- I believe in this place.

:22:52
- I believe in what it tries to accomplish.
- Well, you've had a tough year, lady.

:22:57
Listen.
