Plot: Maya is a CIA operative whose first experience is in the interrogation of prisoners following the Al Qaeda attacks against the U.S. on the 11th September 2001. She is a reluctant participant in extreme duress applied to the detainees, but believes that the truth may only be obtained through such tactics. For several years, she is single-minded in her pursuit of leads to uncover the whereabouts of Al Qaeda's leader, Osama Bin Laden. Finally, in 2011, it appears that her work will pay off, and a U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent to kill or capture Bin Laden. But only Maya is confident Bin Laden is where she says he is.

Quotes:

Ammar: Please help me.::Maya: You can help yourself by being truthful.

Maya: [to Navy SEALs] Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys, with your dip and velcro and all your gear bullshit. I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb. So they're using you guys as canaries. And, in theory, if bin Laden isn't there, you can sneak away and no one will be the wiser. But bin Laden is there. And you're going to kill him for me.

Maya: You can't run a global network of interconnected cells from a cave.

Dan: I need a favor.::Kuwaiti Businessman: Why I should help you?::Dan: Because we're friends.::Kuwaiti Businessman: You saying we are friends? How come you only call me when you need help?

David Breckinridge: Tom DiPaola said he called you four times yesterday. You never returned any of his messages, and that you almost missed the Marine One flight yesterday.::Pete Garrison: They moved the flight up two hours. I was in the coffee shop. It was noisy. I couldn't hear my cell phone. Now wh-wh-what is this, alright? What the hell are you doing following me?::Hugo Ortega: Las Palmas Coffee Shop is a dead drop for the Baranquilla Cartel.::David Breckinridge: You screwed up, Pete. You walked into a stakeout. I want to know your number one go-to guy at the Cartel, and I want to know how you were going to help them kill the president.::Pete Garrison: Why would I want to kill the president? What motive do I have?::David Breckinridge: I don't know Pete, and to be honest with you, I don't care. I know what the evidence is telling me.::Pete Garrison: I have given my entire life to the Secret Service. I've gotten up at 4 a.m. every goddamn morning.::David Breckinridge: So is that what this is about? You're bitter after all your years of service that they didn't make you director?::Pete Garrison: Oh, no. Don't confuse your own ambition with mine. Okay, Dave?::David Breckinridge: Come on, Pete. Think about it. People would understand that. I mean, Jesus Christ, you took a bullet for the President of the United States. And in the 25 years since, you haven't even made shift supervisor on a presidential detail, and *that* I know you wanted. But they don't put guys who bend the rules, not even a little bit, in charge of P.P.D., do they? Even if they did take a bullet for the old man.::Pete Garrison: Is that your professional or personal opinion?

Pete Garrison: Dave, I love her.::David Breckinridge: Well, that's practical.

Montrose does.::Post Agent #2: [into sleeve microphone] Montrose--::David Breckinridge: Don't call him!::Pete Garrison: Montrose is the mole!::Post Agent #1: Montrose?::Post Agent #2: What's the procedure for *that*?

William Montrose: Cincinnat's next move is T.B.D.::Secret Service Agent: What's the "B" stand for?::William Montrose: Brass ones. Which you don't have.

1st Lady Sarah Ballentine: How do you think it went in there?::Pete Garrison: Excuse me, ma'am, are you talking to me?::1st Lady Sarah Ballentine: Yes.::Pete Garrison: I thought it was, uh, an excellent speech.::1st Lady Sarah Ballentine: One to 10?::Pete Garrison: Ten, ma'am.::1st Lady Sarah Ballentine: You're not a very good liar, Pete.::Pete Garrison: Seriously?::1st Lady Sarah Ballentine: Yes, I- I really want to know.::Pete Garrison: 9.5.

When her father backs out of his promise, Anna flies into a temper and goes on the run with Ben Calder, a handsome photographer she runs into outside of the music club.

Under the orders of Anna's father, Ben is supposed to keep an eye on the rebellious girl but falling in love with her wasn't something he expected to do. Romance blossoms between the wild, sassy Anna and the cool, distant Ben as they backpack through Europe.

Anna Foster: Dad! Way to go. I can't believe you had that restaurant swarming with all of your secret servants. You ruined my date! And now, I'm going to die before I ever get to third base... I mean second base. [Anna turns to see others in room]::President James Foster: Anna?::Anna Foster: I'll talk to you about this later.::President James Foster: No, no. Stay. Pull up a chair. We were just discussing the G8 Summit in Prague, how to best persuade the EU leaders to adopt our plan for distributing humanitarian aid and medical technology to developing nations, but you had a bad date, so we should probably focus on that.::Anna Foster: No, no, no, I'm so sorry to have interrupted. Excuse me.::[Anna leaves]::President James Foster: So third base is what again?::[indistinct mumbling]::President James Foster: Glad I asked.

Anna Foster: Naked virgin safely in a bed.

Ben Calder: So, you got a little thing for me, huh?::Anna Foster: No. Big thing.

Anna Foster: You have a little thing for me, huh?::Ben Calder: I'll stop you there. I do not have a thing for you, okay, little or otherwise.::Anna Foster: Why did you get on the train with me to Berlin, then? [pause] Mm-hmm.::Ben Calder: Okay, you know what, you're right. I'm strangely attracted to exhibitionist runaways. It's an addiction, really. I was in a program for a while where we had to spend time with fully-clothed home-bodies, but I've relapsed, again.

Michelle Foster: Never ask a President to promise, Honey.::Anna Foster: I'm not. I'm asking my dad.

Anna Foster: Ben. Can you ever just say what you really feel?::Ben Calder: Okay, all right! Because I'm jealous as hell. Because I'd hate to see you with Gus Gus. I'd hate to see you with any other man. Because not only did I adore kissing you in Venice, but also because I'm so un-bloody-hinged just being near you.

Ben Calder: So if you're scared, why do it?::Anna Foster: Because the things you're scared of are usually the most worthwhile.

Ben Calder: If I kiss you, do you think they'll shoot me?::Anna Foster: No, but I will if you don't.

Bruce Banner: You found me!::Betty Ross: You weren't that hard to find.::Bruce Banner: ...yes, I was.

The Hulk: Puny human!

Bruce Banner: I should have killed you.::Dr. David Banner: Maybe I should have killed you.::Bruce Banner: I wish you had.

Betty Ross: All you've given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.::Father: Fear. Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes. I feel them both. But I have lived completely once. I was so much in love. And she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn't a son I had given her, but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious, and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it, and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well. Every moment. Every sensation. Walking into the house. The feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father's work, fulfilling a father's mercy... but then she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.

Dr. David Banner: We're going to have to watch that temper of yours.

Bruce Banner: [that ominous green glow in his eyes] Talbot?::Talbot: Yeah?::Bruce Banner: You're making me angry.::Talbot: Oh, am I?::[Banner turns into the Hulk]

Talbot: You and I have never had the chance to get to know each other properly.::Bruce Banner: Well, that's because I don't want to get to know you. Properly or improperly.

Talbot: Bad science, maybe, but personally gratifying.

If Shintagma cancels it, there will be trouble for Harbour Oil. They couldn't deliver their oil, and the company would soon go bankrupt. Marianne would be in the middle of it all.::Cleopatra: Suen, I think we should help.

Cleopatra: Shorty, raise the funds. Eric, take care of OPEC and Wall Street.
