James Heller : Have you spoken with your brother?

Audrey Raines : Alright, I'll stay in the car: even if Richard goes to this protest in Lockheed, it's not the end of the world. It's not a "page one" story

Audrey Raines : What're you going to say to him?

James Heller : The world is a little more complicated than that: we do not live in a utopia. America has enemies
Richard Heller : Enemies who were our friends a year ago and in another year, it'll change again unless people stop supporting your psychotic need to control the world
James Heller : [Raises his voice] psychotic need? We serve our country, we serve the cause of freedom, and what do you do?
Richard Heller : Why don't you just go back to your little motorcade and drive somewhere people actually buy the lies you're selling?

Richard Heller : I'm going to speak at that rally this afternoon, and it's not because I hate you: it's because it's something I believe in

Richard Heller : Well, I wish I weren't
Audrey Raines : [Interrupting them] what is it?
Audrey Raines : [Handing him her cell phone] I'm sorry, it's Jack: it's urgent
James Heller : [to Richard before leaving to talk privately] excuse me
Richard Heller : What could be more important and intimidating?
Richard Heller : [to Audrey] I didn't know you were hiding in the car
Audrey Raines : Why are you doing this to dad? Can't you just back off?
Richard Heller : I'm not doing anything to him
Audrey Raines : No, if you go to that protest at Lockheed, it's going to hurt him
Richard Heller : Whatever it takes to stop what his doing
