On a new movement of the I exercise.

While we are seated.

A sole right? Well, details,

let us give the basic thing in the line.

Janine, Hello!

Which is the action?

It is a sh*t, not one is not able to...

I have a bad premonition, he/she feels.

- ?

- Hole.

- Does he/she feel?

- If.

I pay you to investigate

your feelings?

Alone you give me the data.

Not we can make this again.

Not we can believe ourselves the program.

As we made the other time...

He/she waits, while my head, explodes.

- Is this your type, not?

- Not it is my type...

He/she came to you, he/she gave you one

sole right, is a gift.

Not it is a gift, it is propaganda.

And we don't have to transmit

all that the government wants.

No, we transmit news.

A military great movement is news.

Do you have an attack of conscience?

- Please.

- Not it is late for that?

We go, which the history is,

who the informant is?

Your you are big to remember who.

- Who.

- Not he/she wanted to listen to it.

- And what?

- The new boss.

The same one that the old one,

the same of Vietnam.

You will send small new platoons.

Children like bait, it is the same thing...

That is a speculation,

we don't transmit that...

If him you, is that they are so

despaired by an escape road.

So desperate for

to change the topic of Iraq.

They are desirous of winning

that they listen Irving.

And you know, I don't accuse them.

Because the one is good,

but the one doesn't have a plan,

... for the day after the attack, not.

This speaking of heart and mind

and everything is helicopters and soldiers.

Jess, in all ways

you don't care that.

The whole strategy, is

a lubricant one for...

... that the he/she puts on in the White House.

And what, is the one ambitious?

What?

These leaving that the

doesn't politics allow you to think?

Alone it is about making the work.

Your work if I can you

to bring from turn to this time.

It is to report the data

verified, to transmit them.

Not there is none, ok.

Not there are tests, alone

we have to take their word.

It is too hot here.

I will tell you something.

He has a plan for

after the elections.

And it is not a slow process.

No, these boys have toys,

... that they have not been able to use.

Let us get tired that you humble, he/she says.

They are crazy to knock down this.

Not I want that sh*t...

You will already know what is news.

He told it to me, I have it...

What is to win.

here this aim, what is.

Please calm down.

I find it to my that Irving has a

plan to go after those that attacked us.

People will believe that you/he/she is

a good thing, me also.

What do I happen to you?

You received a blow from somebody

if you believed that it was justified.

You were of the good ones.

I believe that neither it would arrive at the 40.

- We go.

- Not you can leave me.

Not you can make it.

This mistaken one, I cannot make this.

These creating a history

speculative, based in that.

Woman's intuition?

He/she waited but of you.

If you waited that he/she made that.

If we don't make it who will make it.

This is the work, these politicians.

The newspapers that you/they say

that if he/she had known it,

... that that you now,

it is lie, it is lie.

Everything was there, and we ignore it.

If there were us

position for that, but not.

Alone we turn ourselves.

What does it happen if you make a mistake?

Listen to me you have 57

years, you have a mother,

... that he/she needs care 24 hours a day.

What company you

did it hire after this?

- Alone I request you.

- Don't request it to me.

Your version of the history

it was never published, you know it.

Not I can write the one that gave me.

Not I can.

Well, I believe that you should think it.

It happens over there, and it kills to the talibanes.

Look at the poster.

Does he/she wait, do we finish?

Of agreement, this it is the end.

So we go with me.

The decisions that you make

now they cannot be changed.

Not without years of work to change them.

And in those years you

you transform into something different.

All they make it, you marry, you have debts.

But you will never be what you are now.

The promise, potential, is very fleeting.

And maybe not this there forever.

He/she thinks that he/she already makes a decision.

And that I will be sorry.

What I say is that you are an adult.

And the difficult thing of that is...

... it begins before you realize.

When you have already made many decisions.

What you have to know,

... nobody already takes care,

these for your bill.

You are a man and the decisions that

take they are yours until the end.

I sit down it, there he/she says

until the 8 and step a lot.

If, I sit down it.

Not I want to know my decision.

The class is on Tuesday to

the 9, I will find out then.

He/she closes the door.

- Ammunition?

- No.

Me neither.

They didn't rescue us on time.

No.

Veto of here, veto.

I won't make it.

You can move, veto.

I won't make it.

Not this way, I didn't seize.

Help me.

Help me.

Do you go to the party today?

If, JD, this organizing one.

What are you lifted so early?

A meeting with Mally.

Of what did they speak?

The notes.

FBI announces new mission.

-You this managing?

-Him this making, not?

No, not him this making.

The American troops

they look for where to battle.

Do you know what you want?

Do you know?
