Creating Reality: The Visual Effects of 'The Sum of All Fears' Page #2

You're kidding. I wrote a paper

about him a year ago.

- I said he could be the next guy.

- I know.

- Nobody read it.

- They're reading it now.

- Who?

- Cabot.

I've been here 14 months.

He doesn't know what I look...

- Are you Ryan?

- Yes, sir.

What is this? "The Paper Chase"?

- Sir, my...

- Come on, we're late.

You're about to breathe air that's way

over your pay grade, so listen.

You'll be asked for advice. Be sure

you know what you're talking about.

Don't be afraid to say you don't know.

Choose your words carefully.

They could become policy.

Hey, you. Give me your coat.

Come on, you'll get it back.

Tie.

So, intelligence committee?

I've watched these on C-SPAN.

Never actually been to one.

You've never watched

one of these on C-SPAN.

Our most important assessment comes

from a source inside the Kremlin.

In his opinion, Nemerov does not owe

his ascension to the military.

Everyone has opinions, Mr Cabot.

I respect that.

This morning, my wife woke up

and said I was old, bald and ugly.

Is that a question, Mr Chairman?

I told her

appearances aren't everything.

- Would you agree?

- I certainly would.

Now, this new fellow, Nezmeroz.

Is that his name?

Nemerov, sir.

Despite what your source says,

we hear that Nezmeroz is a hardliner.

Is he a hardliner?

No.

It's too soon to make that assessment.

According to CNN,

your Mr Nezmeroz is making promises

to rebuild the Russian empire.

That sounds pretty rash

from where I sit.

If I were sitting in Chechnya,

I'd be even more worried.

Sir, Nemerov only said that

to get the hardliners off his back.

If we leave him alone,

Russia will stabilise.

When I asked for your advice, I didn't

mean that you should actually speak.

Mr Cabot?

Some of our assets in the Russian

government who know Mr Nemerov

have not had a chance to report in.

I'd like to take a couple of days

and gather more information for you

before characterising him,

but I do maintain my opinion

that appearances can be deceiving.

You're saying I'm wrong?

Absolutely, Mr Chairman.

I don't think you're ugly.

- I was out of line. I apologise.

- Senators don't like to be surprised.

I hint at what I'm gonna tell them, then

I give them a while to get used to it.

Then I tell them.

- I understand.

- Good.

But I'm right about Nemerov.

Your girlfriend like

this stubborn streak in you?

What?

Cathy Muller,

second year surgical resident,

Baltimore Memorial Hospital.

Welcome to the CIA, sport.

Your intelligence is a little flawed.

I wouldn't call her my girlfriend... yet.

- What exactly would you call her?

- Great. Amazing.

She's just afraid to commit.

He's terrified of commitment.
