It's good news, gentlemen.

Fax and telex are in government buildings only, Henk.

And, Mr. Trifonov?

That is not what I'm asking.

All agents to ELORG! Repeat. All agents to ELORG.

I don't suppose you know where I can find ELORG, do you?

He reps Nintendo, and they'd never bribe you.

How can we help you today, sir?

Everything falls at the same speed.

If you miss one payment, that house is ours.

- I know. - Henk Goddamn Rogers.

That is why I'm here.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Eddie.

We got off on the wrong foot.

Jesus, no. I'm not that crazy.

Oh, okay, okay.

Please listen, I'm negotiating what's best for our country.
