"Thank you. And with your permission, Sir, I'll arrange a periodic security download to you. One outside my normal channels." "Do you have a feeling?"

I don't want to sound paranoid, but these people have certainly demonstrated they're not shy about killing people. If I get too close to their mole ... Well, accidents happen, Sir Arthur."
