Adam Leavitt: Need a little check? Huh? Ah, you big queer!

Adam Leavitt: Sir, I already know the answer to this, but is there any chance in hell we get to go over there and use our hands?

Ronald Fleury: If you already know the answer, why ask the question?

Adam Leavitt: Sir, not to beat a dead horse, but if there was ever a time for us to put boots on Saudi sand, I mean, don't you think this is it?

Janet Mayes: There's no way, Adam. They will never allow it.

Adam Leavitt: Then let's just ask.

Janet Mayes: The Saudi Royal Family cannot appear as if they're losing control. If they lose control of their country, lose control of the people, they risk losing control of the oil. And that's not going to happen.
