Why are you interrogating her?

It’s in the dealership, getting serviced. We got a loaner.

Philip Jennings

We had a job to do. … We had a job to do.

You were mine, too. I never wanted to lie to you. Stan, what else could I do? You moved in next to me. I was terrified. And then we ended up as friends.

Philip Jennings

You were my only friend in my ... in my whole shitty life. All these years, my life was the joke. Not yours.

Philip Jennings

I know.

Philip Jennings

Who is that? We don’t … we don’t know who that is.

Philip Jennings

Philip Jennings

I, I did all this … stuff, Stan, I don’t even know why anymore. It, it seemed like the right thing to do for my country. My country wanted me to. And I, and I … I kept doing it. Telling myself it was important. Until finally, I couldn’t, and I, I stopped. I’m done with that now. I have been for a long time. It was all just screwing people for … I don’t, I don’t even know for what. So I quit, like she said. Like you did. I’m a travel agent now. I’m just, I’m just a shitty, failing travel agent. Except I guess I’m not. Because now, I, I need to leave, if I can. I have to run away from the place that I have lived for the past … so many years. If I can. If, if we can. Stan, I have to abandon my son. He can’t come with us, because I got caught. I finally got caught. And here we are. And I don’t even know what happens if we make it home, because after all these years of being scared of Americans and recruiting Americans and following Americans, we finally, we actually got something, and it has nothing to do with you. It’s our own people. It’s a bunch of fucking Russians. They’re trying to get rid of Gorbachev, and we figured it out. Her, really.
