Из разговоров Майкла и Лиланда
Feb. 26th, 2020 07:10 pmЧто-то из этого может быть не в том порядке, может даже вообще из разных диалогов, потому что я не все эти диалоги получила, а как нумерация устроена в файле, не разобралась.
-If you're fishing for information, you're wasting your time, Leland.
-Perhaps.
-No, more like "definitely."
-Blackmailing Triad bosses isn't the best way to guarantee a long and healthy life.
-Really? That's not what my fortune cookie said.
-You have a knack for engendering trust. A useful skill for an intelligence agent.
-Must be my winning personality.
-So you didn't leave any allies behind, then? Because my reports list a man being tortured and left for dead in the mansion.
-Yeah, that's pretty unusual to find in a mobster's home. Any other great revelations?
-So you didn't come across a victim? No signs of anyone being tortured, nothing you heard or saw?
-Being in that place was torture enough. Even before the music kicked in.
-Still worried about civilian casualties?
-Nah, I just hate shooting bellboys. They look like sad little clowns.
-We talked. He had a lot to say about Halbech, and some suggestions about my involvement with your corporation.
-Really? I can rarely get three words from the man.
-Feel free to have him threaten you whenever you get tired of listening to yourself.
-It was a difficult choice - the woman you cared for or stopping a terrorist bombing. If I had been in your shoes... well, I don't know what I would have done.
-If you'd been in my shoes, you would've been running for the hills.
Или ещё тоже вариант:
-If I had been in your shoes... well, I don't know what I would have done.
-You wouldn't have done anything. That's why you sent Marburg in the first place.
-Executive row has its privileges.
-But you... you handled yourself exceptionally well. You must have had help... you're truly a skilled agent, Mr. Thorton, but one man against several highly-trained squads...? No, the odds aren't that good.
-Sometimes the best method is to send a man in alone. Good help is hard to find... and it usually slows me down anyway.
-Hmmm.
-Something wrong?
-No, but remind me not to play poker with you.
-Surkov didn't seem to welcome your help... even after you saved his life.
-Oh we... talked, and he eventually calmed down and agreed not to shoot me. Eventually.
-Well, with the attack on the Embassy and everything to follow, you certainly got the most out of your first few days in Moscow. Shootouts in a local trainyard, threatening civilians in a local bar, and that attack on the yacht on the river. Messy business. One would almost think therapy would be in order.
-I have some doctors I could recommend for you. The first step is admitting you have a problem, Leland.
Is that your way of asking if I had allies? Fuck off, Leland - next time wear a billboard with your motivation on it, it'd be more subtle.
-I understand you spoke with Steven Heck upon arriving. That was a wise decision. The man can be territorial.
-You left out "batshit crazy."
-Faced with the choice of which information to save, you chose the intelligence that would stop the riots at the cost of a man's life. Why?
-Seemed like less work.
И грустная отсылка =/
-You should pay more attention to global politics, Agent Thorton. If Taipei pushes for independence, the People's Republic will prepare for war. If China prepares for war, so does the U.S.
-And we rename eggrolls "freedom rolls."
-Something like that.
