Jack Ryan: I want to know where Shaun Miller and Kevin O'Donell are.

Jack Ryan: Oh, I think I do.
Paddy O'Neil: Look I don't give a damn what they've done but the day that I sell out my countrymen will be the day that I put a bullet through my own head.
Jack Ryan: That's it then, huh?
Paddy O'Neil: That's it. You know on second thoughts maybe I won't have a drink with you.
