+ "Stop this now. There's not a man or woman in this room who won't look like a traitor once you start
+ to pull our life stories inside out. A man can't remember where he was on the night of the tenth?
+ Then he's lying. He can remember? Then he's too damn flip with his alibi. You go one more yard with this
+ and everyone who tells the truth will become a barefaced liar, everyone who does a decent job will
+ be working fir the other side. You carry on like this and you'll sink our service better than the
+ Russians ever could. Or is that what you want?
