The Art of War Page #3

Oh, he's been briefed. We're moving forward.

I'm guessing that Thomas is not a fan.

On the contrary.

With the achievements of last year...

...and the Chinese trade agreement

on the horizon.

Thanks to you. One of the many reasons

I can't let you quit.

Look, Eleanor, I'm not one to complain...

...but in the last two years

I've been shot twice...

...I got six broken bones,

and I don't even have a health plan.

You know we are owed billions

in dues payments.

Every UN staff member

has taken cutbacks.

Yes, so maybe I should make a move

before I get cut back...

...permanently. Find a career.

Career? Like what?

CIA, NSA?

There's no guarantee.

McDonalds.

Yeah, I'm gonna own one.

Yeah. Maybe two.

Listen to me.

Governments, they come, they go...

...but the McDonalds, they last forever.

All right. Your point is taken.

But right now we have a situation

that is rapidly deteriorating...

...into a political time bomb.

No parachutes, no submachine guns,

just a simple eavesdrop, right?

A walk in the park.

This is New York City, baby.

A simple walk in the park

can get you killed.

They want to sell us the benefits

of free trade! Free trade!

How are trade deals made

when there is no accountability for Tibet...

...Tiananmen, and dead refugees

arrive to our shores like cattle.

Stop the UN deal!

Support human rights in China!

Take that. The UN calls it free trade...

...but this deal is about trade

at the expense of freedom.

Free Tibet!

The magnificent hotel, recently purchased

by Chinese business mogul, David Chan...

...is alive with diplomats who are welcoming

China into the world trade arena.

I didn't like it. Let's try another one.

The magnificent hotel....

Wait! Hold it! Hold it!

I'm sorry.

Your microphone is poking into me.

-No, actually, it's not my--

-I'm just messing with you.

"Greg. UN reporter", huh?

Couldn't get a real job?

Smooth. Smooth.

Hey!

How do you do that right?

What?

Away with your attitude!

You're a free spirit.

I don't know how you do it.

First, move from a society

that discourages individualism...

...then move to a city

that embraces it, for three years.

It's easy.

-I'll take the first shift on the floor.

-Sure.

A lot of American companies

would love unrestricted access to China.

We see this as a major shift

in economic powers.

There are two sides to consider,

particularly as the Chinese are concerned.

That sounds very prudent of you.

The Ambassador's been here about a week.

We are on the air.

He's complaining about the menu.

Seems he's not a fan of Szechwan cuisine,

and somebody should have known that.

What? He doesn't like

the pickled pig knuckles?

No?

Ladies and gentlemen...
