(reading Doggett's report) "Super Soldiers, a Navy ship, a woman at the Department of Justice who drowned two men - All disappeared now, but which constitute a conspiracy like a cancer in the U.S. government." (flicks through the rest of the report) ..Not a mention of my name, John.
No, sir. I found nothing on you. Nothing damning that I could honestly include in my report, let me say. ..And 'cause I got nothing to lose, let me say that I know your hands are dirty on this, sir - filthy.
(smirking) That's why you're here - Take a last wild punch before the bell.
(begins removing his weapon and holster) There's one thing I can't figure, and then I'll be on my way (unclips his ID) - Is why you slipped that obituary under my door?
You think I did that?
Over and over in my mind, it had to be you. You're the only one who had a reason.
What's my reason?
You tell me - You looking to just get me fired, or get me killed?
[Doggett sets his ID and weapon on Kersh's desk, turns and begins to walk out]
..You ever hear of King George III?
(turns around, angry) You answer my question!
He was king of England when America declared independence in 1776. King George III kept a diary. On July 4th, 1776, he made an entry in it... 'Nothing Important Happened Today.'
What the hell does that got to do with me?
Revolution started. Things that changed the world forever - And even kings can miss them if they're not paying attention.
