Jack Ryan: [confronting Ritter on "Reciprocity"] Why was I kept out if it? Ritter: You weren't kept out of it, you're NECK DEEP in it! You went before Congress and you got the money for it!

You didn't happen to catch my speech on the Paraguayan debt and money supply issue did you? John Beckwith: Are you kidding me? I thought it was great!
