James and Agent Liberty in “Unfinished Business”

James

I came here on my own accord. To talk to you, to listen. I'm prepared to hear your side of the story. I mean, obviously you have an agenda, but why? There has to be something, a core to your anger, something that's happened to you.

Something did happen to me, Mr. Olsen. I saw men struggling to remain relevant, to provide for their families. I saw human beings being treated less than they deserve, less than exceptional.

James

Surely there has to be a part of you that can find a commonality between aliens and humans. We just want good, safe, lives for our loved ones.

No, we're not here to talk about my empathy, or lack thereof, for aliens.

James

Okay, you tell me, what am I writing?

You won't be writing anything. I'm giving you an opportunity to sit in front of the camera for once, to be the story. To galvanize, not to inspire. Because Guardian stands for everything my followers strive for, human exceptionalism.

James

You want me to inspire your followers? And how exactly do you want me to do that?

I want you to destroy something, a monument, something that stands against everything we believe in.

James

I don't send things down, that's not my style.

I get it. You're not a willing participant yet. But you will be. I believe in you, Mr. Olsen.
