Bill Whitcroft, John Smith and others in “Unfinished Business”

[turns off tape] There's more, John. Your housekeeper, your wife's friends, your old neighbors. If you had a dog, he would be informing on you. I don't have to tell you they mean to use all this against you in Berlin. There's, um another way.

John Smith

What's that?

You know I'm loyal to you above all. All right, it's been 25 years -

Smith

Just say it, Bill.

We have 103 nukes in silos across the country. On our own we are a superpower. We could go our own way, John. Our military will fall in behind you. We tear up that flag, there's nothing Berlin can do about it. Unless they wanted World War III.

Smith

You realize you could be shot for saying that?

I'm willing to take that chance. Look, I'll follow you wherever you go.

Smith

I have to go to Berlin, Bill. If anything should happen to me, then, uh Helen and the girls need to be taken to safety without delay.

Of course.

Smith

I've made detailed plans for their well-being. They're in my safe. [gives key] This is the key.

You don't have to do this, John.

Smith

I think we both know that's not true.
