18346And do n''t you have a continuous check on sales, too? 18346 And for the mob below to get up here?"
18346And see how he managed to slide in that bit about corruption, right before his stooge handed him that bulletin?
18346And speaking of our landing stage, have you been up there, this morning, Ray?
18346And take Mr. Pelton with us?

18346Book?
18346But Would n''t that mean the end of the Fraternities?
18346But with the Literates walked out, we can''t--Cardon blazed:"Do I have to teach you your business?
18346But you agree that we''re right and he''s wrong?
18346But... how about the Senator?
18346Ca n''t you just relax for a while? 18346 Can I offer you refreshment?
18346Can you be sure I taught him? 18346 Can you cover yourself for about an hour?"

18346Everything all right, Miss Claire?
18346Future? 18346 Have you called Radical- Socialist headquarters for help?"
18346Hey, Sis, is this real cow- made butter?

18346How about getting help from outside?
18346How did you get into the store?
18346How do I go about startin''this new''copter?
18346How do they work? 18346 How do you know?"
18346How is he, Claire?

18346Ken Dorchin; Harry Cobb; Dick Hirschfield; Jerry McCarty; Ramon Nogales; Pete Shawne; Tom Hutchinson--"Who--?
18346Know how to use this?
18346Mean somebody might try to kidnap me, or Claire, to force the Senator to withdraw, or something?
18346More eggs, Senator?
18346Of course; how imbecilic can I really get? 18346 Oh, Claire; do you know how we''re going to handle this new Literate crew, when they get here?"
18346Oh, the instructions for the''copter?
18346Ralph, what''s it all about?
18346Ray,he said,"how would you like to be a real white- smock Literate?"
18346See how they''re concentrating, there?
18346So?
18346Still drinking your own?
18346Sure we can get in on the freight conveyor?
18346That thing been tested, yet?
18346That you, Prestonby?
18346Then what''s he doing managing the Senator''s campaign? 18346 Think you''ll ever really get anything done with them?"
18346This motion ought to be debated--"What do you want to debate about it?
18346Want me to take command?
18346Wantta bet one of those little cherubs does n''t try to scalp another before the day''s out?
18346We''ve got to keep the Illiterates down; how are we ever going to do that if we go making Literates out of them? 18346 Well, do n''t you?"
18346Well, how are things going, then?
18346Well, is n''t there a book?
18346Well, what do we have store police for?
18346What are you going to do, after this thing''s over?
18346What are you going to do?
18346What did you say it was?
18346What do you people over on the right think this is; an Illiterates''Organization Political Action meeting?
18346What do you want to talk about that you have n''t gotten on every record of every meeting for the last thirty years?
18346What does it sound like to you, Frank?
18346What does the Literate President think I''m doing?
18346What happened, Hutschnecker?

18346What''s that, Frank?
18346What''s the matter, Doug?
18346What''s the score, down there?
18346What''ve they got ta do with--?
18346What?
18346What?
18346Where are we going to put that stuff? 18346 Where to, first, captain?"
18346Where''s Latterman?
18346Where''s Pelton? 18346 Who are you and what do you know about it?"
18346Who are you?
18346Who''d trust me, after this?
18346Why not just pile the stuff on the top stage, beyond the control tower, and put up warning signs?
18346Why not?
18346Will Literate Graves yield for a motion?
18346You do n''t know how to start it?
18346You have wall screens?
18346You heard that?
18346You mean, starting a rift between Pelton and the Consolidated Illiterates''Organization, which we can widen after the election?
18346You presented it, did n''t you?
18346You say Claire''s alone at the store with her father?
18346You say Frank Cardon''s a Literate?
18346You think I''m good enough?
18346You think the Fraternities are a solid, monolithic, organization; everybody agreed on aims and means, and working together in harmony? 18346 You think you and Olaf, between you, can get that thing to school?"
18346You''d rather I told you, now, than turn on the TV and hear some commentator talking about it, would n''t you?
18346Your father has riot- insurance, does n''t he? 18346 A nice big stein of Cardon''s Black Bottle, for instance?
18346Am I right?"
18346And have you seen the telecast we''ve been using-- a view of it, with a semantically correct spoken paraphrase?"
18346And how did you--?"
18346And if so, what had you thought of doing about it?
18346And if you''ll pardon me, Literate; just what are you doing at Pelton''s?
18346And suppose it did?
18346And that fellow Prestonby; I do n''t trust him--""Prestonby?"
18346And what''s his attitude toward his children?
18346And when can we expect this new crew of Literates?"
18346And why had the Senator had to mention Ralph?
18346And you believe, on the strength of that, that she''s a Literate?
18346Are you going to expose me as a corrupter of youth?"
18346But how long--?"
18346But what''s going to happen here?
18346Can you get one of your landing stages cleared for us?
18346Claire cried in dismay:"You''re not going to have another of those attacks?
18346Could we get out the same way you got in?"
18346Course she can; did n''t you see her open the safe?"
18346Did you contact Radical- Socialist headquarters, yet, Hutschnecker?"
18346Do n''t you have people at party headquarters monitoring this stuff?
18346Do you want to smash everything we''ve ever done in the Fraternities?"
18346Feels good to have them on again, does n''t it?"
18346Fifth- columning?"
18346How about West and Yingling?"
18346How about the election?"
18346How about you?
18346How are you coming, Steve?"
18346How did you get the riot stopped, after you got me out?
18346How do they jibe?"
18346How''s Pelton reacting to his triumph?
18346How''s her credit?"
18346I suppose you got the returns?"
18346If anything went wrong--""What, for instance?"
18346Is it any wonder we''re convinced that people like that are n''t to be trusted to formulate the future policy of the Fraternities?"
18346Just how bad is it, anyhow?"
18346Lancedale going to pull a rabbit out of his hat?"
18346Like the ones at school?"
18346Macy& Gimbel''s trying to bust up our sale, or politics?"
18346Or did he?
18346Ray?"
18346Ready for your coffee?"
18346Remember that film on the Spanish Inquisition, that we had to discontinue?"
18346Satisfied the Pelton girl is n''t a Literate, now?"
18346Suppose that got out between now and the election?"
18346Sure you can handle it, now?"
18346That is n''t a normal bargain- day crowd, is it?
18346Then Bayne put on the general- address system and began calling out the Literates--""Yes, but why did Pelton beat Bayne up?"
18346Then he asked:"Doug, did n''t Captain Prestonby tell you to stay with me?"
18346Was he beginning to suspect the truth about that, too?
18346Well, I''ll be seeing you some time tomorrow, I suppose?"
18346What are we going to do about it?"
18346What could I be in that he would n''t know all about?"
18346What do you think it is?
18346What do you think we have now?"
18346What else?"
18346What sorta shape''s Mr. Pelton in?"
18346What''s going on, there?"
18346What''s the situation?"
18346What''s your name, sergeant?"
18346Where are the nitrocaine bulbs?"
18346Where are they, now, and how many?"
18346Where''s Russ Latterman, by the way?"
18346Who but Literates can keep such a program from disintegrating into complete and indescribable confusion?
18346Who''s in charge of store police, now?"
18346Why are you all just standing around?"
18346Why did n''t I think of them before?
18346Wo n''t you try it?"
18346You did n''t know Frank Cardon was a Literate, did you?"
18346You know what really happened, yesterday afternoon, at the store, do n''t you?"
18346You were speaking about the possibility of kidnaping; how about the boy?
51814Afraid? 51814 And again I am the freak-- the case who can do nothing that humans can do, eh, Weels?"
51814And calling for help? 51814 And how did he get this radiation poisoning?"
51814And put in the paper work? 51814 And the only entrance is through the Catacombs?"
51814And what is that?
51814Anything else?
51814Are you apologizing to_ me_?
51814Are you crazy?
51814Are you going to obey Mr. Defoe''s orders or not?
51814Are you sure that stuff is to revive the suspendees?
51814Are you sure?
51814Are you trying to tell me that this is a dangerously radioactive case? 51814 Bargain?"
51814Bay 100?
51814Believe you, Tom? 51814 But do n''t you agree that he needs treatment?"
51814But it should be, you think?
51814But the Company--"When you speak of the Company, what is it you see? 51814 But why?
51814But why?
51814Call me? 51814 Can I offer you a deal, Rena?"
51814Can not scientists hope to tell?
51814Can we talk to him now?
51814Case?
51814Che dice?
51814Che volete?
51814Come on where?
51814Die? 51814 Do n''t you know?"
51814Do you not see it, Thomas? 51814 Do you think I have n''t been sick at the idea of a man like Defoe in command of the Company for as long as he lives?
51814Do you think I''m worried about my own skin, Wills? 51814 Do you think no other Company man ever had a girl in his room?"
51814Do you understand me?
51814Down from where do you mean, Thomas?
51814Down?
51814Dr. Lawton,said Defoe,"have you completed your examination of the insured?"
51814Dud bomb?
51814Find anything?
51814For what? 51814 Have I any choice?"
51814Have you given thought to your future?
51814He was right near Bay 100, was n''t he?
51814He''s_ here_?
51814How about a dud bomb, Defoe?
51814How do I know? 51814 How not?
51814How should I know? 51814 How?
51814How?
51814How?
51814How?
51814I must?
51814I? 51814 If you''re not asleep, can we take a couple more minutes to talk?"
51814In helping me from the deep- freeze? 51814 Interrupt me?"
51814Is Zorchi not always the best man?
51814Is n''t she here?
51814Is that the one that''s locked off, with the sign on it that says anybody who goes in is asking for trouble?
51814Is what, Tom?
51814It has?
51814Just tell her about the rule, will you?
51814Just what will the situation be at the clinic after they close down? 51814 Know your name, Tom?
51814Let you? 51814 Lonesome?"
51814Looking at the debris?
51814Malignancy?
51814Man, did n''t you just come in through the main entrance? 51814 Me?"
51814Me?
51814Meaning that Zorchi is a parasite?
51814Mr. Zorchi, what the hell are you up to? 51814 New here, are n''t you?"
51814Not that you need reminding, eh? 51814 Now, Zorchi,"Defoe went on, dismissing Lawton utterly,"do you enjoy life?"
51814Oh,I said,"you mean the man at the car?
51814On which side, Defoe? 51814 Ready for business?"
51814Rena, why did your friends kill Hammond?
51814Rena?
51814Rescue, Rena? 51814 Sam?"
51814Shall we go quietly, Nikolas?
51814Shall we look at this more closely?
51814She what?
51814Silly? 51814 Sir?"
51814Slovetski? 51814 So this is your choice, eh, Thomas?"
51814So what does it matter if you tell me more? 51814 So?"
51814So?
51814Suppose it is? 51814 Suppose it''s legitimate?"
51814Suppose the Company can handle the population of the whole world? 51814 Tell me something?"
51814The Company''s bank account?
51814The Signore''Ammond, can you say where he is?
51814Then what? 51814 Then would you mind?"
51814To hide, is it?
51814To what?
51814Tom,she asked anxiously,"is something wrong?"
51814Try?
51814Twelve times I have been cut-- do you see even a scar? 51814 Twenty, eh?
51814We need not concern ourselves with that, need we?
51814Well what, Tom?
51814Well,I said,"I''m not exactly_ surprised_, but I thought that your friends were, well, more likely to be--""To be rabble?"
51814Well?
51814What about your father, Rena? 51814 What can he do that we ca n''t?"
51814What happened to Slovetski?
51814What happened?
51814What kind? 51814 What sort of deal?"
51814What then, Weels?
51814What was it, Rena?
51814What would you do?
51814What''s inside it that''s so important?
51814What''s so strange about it?
51814What''s up?
51814What?
51814What?
51814What?
51814Where do you think? 51814 Where is he?"
51814Where to?
51814Where? 51814 Where?
51814Who do you suppose he was after?
51814Who were you after?
51814Who-- whom did I murder?
51814Who?
51814Why should I lie?
51814Why should n''t I tell you? 51814 Why should n''t we?"
51814Why? 51814 Why?"
51814Will you do that, Tom?
51814Will you remember that I asked you not to make me discuss it?
51814Will you?
51814Wills, do you know that that man has just cashed in on his_ twelfth_ disability policy? 51814 Wills, what have I been trying to tell you?
51814Wo n''t you tell me why your policy was cancelled?
51814Yes, Tom?
51814Yesterday? 51814 Yet you admit you belong to a subversive group?"
51814You are n''t one of us, are you?
51814You did not know, Weels? 51814 You mean you did n''t know Slovetski was planning violence?"
51814You see, Mr. Zorchi? 51814 You want to know what it was like here during the war?
51814You''ll be best man, I suppose?
51814Your word, Rena? 51814 _ Signore_ it is now, is it?
51814_ What, Thomas?_he snapped.
51814***** I asked uncertainly,"Do n''t you believe me?"
51814***** I coughed and said:"Rena, will you make a bargain?"
51814***** I said sharply,"What are you afraid of?
51814***** I said stupidly,"Where?"
51814*****"And do all Claims Adjusters live by this code?"
51814A mob like that--""Eighty_ thousand_?"
51814Am I an ancient idiot, or am I Benedetto dell''Angela who with Slovetski led twenty thousand men?"
51814And do you think we can do anything about it?
51814And how about Defoe and Lawton?
51814And how many millions would die while the forests were being cleared off the face of the Earth again to make way for grain?
51814And the Russians-- what are the Russians up to these days?"
51814And then, is it not possible that only the distance transmission is interrupted?
51814And then-- what then?"
51814And there is more, of course-- lithium, perhaps?
51814And what about their defenses?"
51814And why have classes so rigidly stratified?
51814And with Slovetski''s fiery eyes urging the positive, what eager debater would say him nay?
51814And would you like to know why I picked you?"
51814And yet, were men better off today?
51814And you understand that the Company takes no responsibility beyond the policy covering?
51814And, Thomas--""Yes?"
51814Are you concluded?"
51814Are you questioning his orders?"
51814Are you willing to take the chance?"
51814But I am a bad hostess; wo n''t you come in?"
51814But I just did n''t see any reason to--""To divide the credit, is that it, Weels?
51814But Zorchi was immune to shock--"Perhaps it is news to you, Weels, that the Company is a big beast?"
51814But am I living in riches, Tom?
51814But can you set up such a perfect government?
51814But did n''t you help me into it in the first place, as well?
51814But do you realize that we have suspendees here who need protection?
51814But even if it was true, did you think I was the kind of man to join a bunch of murderers?"
51814But first, should we not decide on a plan of action?
51814But how are you going to get the experts and assemble them?"
51814But how did they get away at all?
51814But how many deaths are there?
51814But how might we get Carmody out of Bay 100?
51814But how?
51814But now will you satisfy my curiosity?
51814But the idiots, do n''t they know that''s impossible?
51814But there is the possibility--""The possibility that you will cure me of collecting on my policies, eh?"
51814But what about the mines-- three, four and five thousand feet down-- when the pumps were shut off and the underground water seeped in?
51814But what''s the use?"
51814But what, I asked myself miserably, was Millen Carmody doing all this while?
51814But why?
51814But-- kill him?
51814But--"Slovetski said commandingly,"Why did you permit him his liberty?"
51814Can I?
51814Can you revive a suspendee as easily as that, just by sticking a needle in his arm?"
51814Carmody, what do you know about your own Company?
51814Cobalt?
51814Coffee?"
51814Could money payments make food for a revived world, Miss dell''Angela?
51814Could n''t be you, Wills, could it?
51814Curious- looking little beast, is n''t it?"
51814Did it include chlorpromazine in a lytic solution and a plastic cocoon?
51814Did my_ avocatto_ lie?"
51814Did n''t these people realize we were trying to help them?
51814Did n''t you have a chance to talk to her last night?
51814Did n''t you hear the orders?"
51814Did n''t you see that mob?"
51814Did you change the contract on me?"
51814Did you know that the Sicilians actually made a landing right down the coast at Pompeii?"
51814Did you know they would run?"
51814Did you see bomb craters there?"
51814Did you suppose it was Slovetski who planned it so?"
51814Did you think your pals would be able to stay out of sight forever?
51814Do I enjoy it, do you think?
51814Do n''t you realize how important this is?
51814Do n''t you see that it could do no harm to tell me?"
51814Do we just try to get lost in the hills somewhere?"
51814Do you mean cancer?"
51814Do you really think the Company is out to get him?"
51814Do you think I am going to forget that?"
51814Do you think I would trouble myself so much for all of you, Weels?"
51814Do you want to kill him?
51814Does Defoe think he can let the world burn up without doing anything to stop it-- just by keeping the people from knowing what happened?"
51814Does it surprise you?"
51814Does she work for the Company?"
51814Ever hear of him, Wills?"
51814For God, tell me, why is the world blind?
51814For the radiation poisoning that he got from the atomic explosion he was nowhere near, Tom?
51814Had I been seen going in or coming out?
51814Have you a place to stay?"
51814Have you ever looked at that bomb?
51814Have you forgotten the vaults of the clinics?"
51814Have you read the placard on it?
51814Have you seen him?"
51814He asked,"Nothing new on Hammond?"
51814He ca n''t lose them twice, can he?"
51814He flared,"You let them_ assume_, Weels?
51814He said coldly,"How would I know?
51814He said coldly,"You mentioned this over the phone, did you not?
51814He said guardedly:"What was left in Bay 100?"
51814He said resentfully,"You see what we''re up against?
51814How could I prevent it?"
51814How did you get in here, Wills?"
51814How do you do it?
51814How does it happen, Tom?"
51814How have you liked our little hideaway?"
51814How is that possible, Weels?
51814How long?
51814How many men today work their way out of their class?
51814How many will be kept awake?
51814How shall we do it?"
51814Hydrogen?
51814I asked apprehensively,"What is it?"
51814I asked one of them,"Anything wrong?"
51814I asked politely,"Miss dell''Angela?"
51814I asked,"How?
51814I continued,"Even if you can grow new legs, do you_ enjoy_ the pain of having them cut off?
51814I cut in,"What does he want?"
51814I flared peevishly:"Damn it, do n''t you want him saved?"
51814I helped an old friend whom the Company wanted to-- shall we say-- treat for radiation sickness?
51814I made the error of saying,"Signore Zorchi, will you call a doctor for this man?"
51814I mean, after they go to the hospital they''ll be all right, wo n''t they?"
51814I only mean to say that--""That I am a statistic, eh?"
51814I protested,"What''s the difference?
51814I repeated,"Happened?
51814I repeated:"May I see Miss dell''Angela?
51814I said quickly,"Below?
51814I said reasonably,"But do n''t they know the Company has all the resources in the world?"
51814I said uncertainly,"What-- where shall I begin?"
51814I said with difficulty,"Miss dell''Angela, what are you getting at?"
51814I said, in what must have been a surly tone,"I do n''t suppose you are-- why should you?
51814I said, still marveling at the enormous number of casualties out of that little war,"Surely the suspendees are safe here, are n''t they?"
51814I said,"Defoe, do n''t you see, that''s all to the good?
51814I said,"Has there been any trouble around here before?"
51814I said,"Look, did you expect me to carry a bell and cry unclean?
51814I said,"Rena, how did you know my name?"
51814I said,"That''s pretty silly, is n''t it?
51814I said,"Was n''t I of some little assistance to you at one time?"
51814I said,"Well, not exactly--""But almost exactly?
51814I said:"Am I supposed to identify him or something?"
51814I said:"And do you think that old man could have accomplished anything?"
51814I sat up and reached for the light switch, but she said,"Must we have the lights?
51814I shouted, over the screaming of the jets,"Where are we going?"
51814I went on:"Why did you call me at the office, Rena?
51814If I can be trusted, what does it matter if I know the rest?"
51814If I get you out of here, will you go to my room and wait for me there?"
51814If the Company was corrupt, and I had worked to do the Company''s business, how much of this guilt was mine?
51814If war was ended, what about Naples and Sicily, and Prague and Vienna, and all the squabbles in the Far East?
51814If you can do it, why not others?
51814If you can put me in a position where I can get the honest Underwriters together again, where we can set up the Company as it was--""Why?
51814If you think that, then why the devil did you put me in cadet school?"
51814Is it fraud for me to suffer like this?
51814Is it not true that I had revived by myself, Weels?"
51814Is it something I chose, did I pray to the saints, before my mother spawned me, that I should be born a monster?
51814Is it the act of a tapeworm that I bleed and die, over and over?
51814Is it true, what you told me of his growing legs and arms so freely?"
51814Is she, well, someone you know?"
51814Is that clear?"
51814Is that correct?"
51814Is that not so?"
51814Is that part of your training?"
51814Is that the man?"
51814Is that what you want to know?"
51814Is that your answer?"
51814Is there any way back in, once we leave?"
51814It has the usual application for medical treatment, I presume?"
51814It is good to be able to grow a leg, but do you understand that the leg must come from somewhere?
51814It was in what they call Bay 100--you remember?
51814It was my duty_ not_ to turn her in, for had n''t Defoe himself ordered me to investigate the dissident movement of which she was clearly a part?
51814It was risky, but what risk mattered when the world was at an end?
51814Just how_ did_ you work the business with Bay 100?"
51814Lawton asked me:"This the man?"
51814Leave the consolidation of power in Company hands out of it, and what has happened to progress?"
51814Like to see them?"
51814Look, was he drunk when you left him last night?"
51814Me?"
51814More vigorous now, he snarled:"The plan fails, does it not?
51814Must we discuss it?"
51814My legs-- would you like to observe the stumps yourself?"
51814No longer the freak Zorchi, the case Zorchi, the half- man?
51814Now that we have come to that understanding, are we finished with this interview?"
51814Now what do you say?"
51814Now what?
51814Now what?"
51814Now would you like to know what all the fuss was about?"
51814Now, will you help us or not?"
51814Obviously the Company could not have wanted that, but why had I never seen it before?
51814On purpose, I mean?"
51814On the way, out of curiosity, I asked:"Suppose he had succeeded?
51814One of us has to be wrong, right?"
51814Only the conspirators would have tried, and how could they get fissionables?
51814Only_ yesterday_?"
51814Or did a suspendee bruise?
51814Or do we first rule and then conquer?"
51814Or must I handle this myself?"
51814Or the world?
51814Or were you too busy with other things?"
51814Or, at best, I am a statistic which will not fit into your electronic machines, am I not?"
51814Perhaps I had been brusque-- but brusque enough to bring tears?
51814Radiation- seared?
51814Rena called me?"
51814Rena said doubtfully,"I do not remember for sure, Tom, but is there not something about television which limits its distance?"
51814Rescue from what?"
51814Right, Susan?"
51814Say, I do n''t like to push you, but are n''t you running a little behind here?"
51814Shall I allow us to die here?
51814Shall we join Signore Zorchi now?"
51814She asked, rather oddly,"And is there a course in loyalty?"
51814She said loftily:"If he is such a killer, how did you escape?
51814She said,"Is that an American idiom, Tom, when you said,''Please pass the legs''?"
51814She was concerned, but I assured her he was safe with the Company-- what did she think they were, barbarians?
51814She whispered,"Would death be worse than this?"
51814Should I kiss her good night?
51814So many of us in this little space, how could you be lonesome?"
51814So this will happen all over again?"
51814So why discuss it?"
51814Something shining and wonderful?
51814Still-- Say, how did you come to know him?"
51814Still--"he shrugged--"what difference does it make?
51814Suppose I choose to be Zorchi the ruler?"
51814Suppose it''s a phony, Tom?
51814Tell me, have you been to Mars?
51814Tell me, why is my father in the vaults?"
51814That is, you require this Millen Carmody for your plan?"
51814That means hydrogen, do n''t you see?
51814That-- that gas does n''t hurt them any, does it?
51814The Company did n''t permit lethal weapons, and who in all the world would challenge a rule of the Company?
51814The Company supply base that Slovetski hopes to raid to get a bomb?
51814The arms and legs of the Company do not know what thoughts pass through its brain?
51814The assassin turns to blackmail, is that it?"
51814The bomb goes off, and everybody with a policy files down into the vaults, but what about the others?"
51814The language of the policy is clear, is it not?
51814The officers he plans to bribe, to divert some other nation''s quota of plutonium?"
51814The only comment that came to my somewhat weary mind was,"So what if Benedetto is n''t dead?"
51814The premiums were paid, were they not?
51814The question is, how do you come to be awake?"
51814The question is, why?"
51814Then I began to think: Would Zorchi miss a meal?
51814To Lawton, he said:"Have you this man''s claim warranty?
51814Truly, I grow new legs, but does that make it easier to lose the old?
51814Turn her in?
51814Unfortunate?
51814Was he going to sit back and placidly permit Defoe to pervert every ideal of the Company?
51814Was he planning to try somehow to convince four billion people that fifty years were only a few weeks?
51814Was it a stall, Thomas?
51814Was it heart disease?
51814Was it possible, I asked myself, that the mere act of taking him out of his plastic sack endangered his life?
51814Was it to get me to help you work against the Company?"
51814Was n''t it true that no small hardship to an individual was as serious as delaying all those others?
51814Was that something to cheer?
51814Was that, I wondered, Defoe''s scheme?
51814Was the number 100 on that door?
51814Was the old man who ran into the vaults?"
51814Was tuberculosis a major killer?
51814We should--"I interrupted,"Mr. Gogarty, are you trying to tell me this man_ deliberately_ maims himself for the accident insurance?"
51814Well, then, why did you cry?"
51814Were n''t you?"
51814What about all of the uninsurables, all over the world?
51814What about fuel?"
51814What about the rails that the trains rode on?
51814What accident?
51814What becomes of any plot or plan, when an indigo- gleaming missile sprays murder into the sky and puts a period to planning?
51814What can there be that you will not tell?
51814What could happen to him?"
51814What did they teach you?"
51814What did we talk about?
51814What do you want with me, Weels?"
51814What do you want?"
51814What else could they do?"
51814What good would it do?
51814What had I done?
51814What happened?"
51814What have you got to lose?"
51814What in God''s name was Defoe''s plan?
51814What is it?"
51814What is on the other side of the Moon?
51814What were you doing down below?"
51814What were you doing in the clinic?"
51814What were you trying to accomplish, anyway?"
51814What would you do with that one?"
51814What''s in the future for me?"
51814What''s this about somebody with a gun waiting at the office for him when you were there?"
51814What, I wondered, did he mean by"handle"?
51814Where are you?"
51814Which assignment would you prefer?"
51814Who?
51814Why did n''t he shoot you dead?"
51814Why did you give them the time?"
51814Why do you think your father was put in suspension?"
51814Why had she been crying?
51814Why is it that this time you make speeches at me?"
51814Why is it that you bring bad news always?"
51814Why not me?
51814Why not talk freely to me, let me help you?
51814Why should I hide you from what is undoubtedly your just punishment?"
51814Why was it standing ajar?
51814Will they sleep?"
51814Wills?"
51814Without it, how would I feed my five- times- a- day appetite?"
51814Would bankrupting the only agency capable of rebuilding the Earth be a thing of honor?
51814Would it help if we reached the garage?"
51814Would n''t it be easier for me to win her confidence, and trick her into revealing its secrets, than to have her arrested?
51814Would the radiocobalt sterilize even the weeds?
51814XIII What can you do after the end?
51814XIV The hotel was not safe, of course, but what place was when the world was at an end?
51814You believe in the Company, do you not?"
51814You could cosmoline the engines, perhaps, but how could you protect a million miles of track from the rains of fifty years?
51814You mean a half an hour ago?"
51814You recall?"
51814You remember that the Sicilians bombed Vesuvius?
51814You saw it, did n''t you?"
51814You think the Company is corrupt and your father is not a casualty, right?"
51814You would not like to die, would you?
51814You''ve got his clothes and release papers?"
51814Zorchi, can you manage it that far?"
34319ARM? 34319 About_ what_?
34319According to the procedures I faxed you?
34319All right, who do we see about something to eat?
34319Am I right or not?
34319American property? 34319 And get shot down?"
34319And how about you? 34319 And if there is an abort?
34319And let you win? 34319 And now these same guys are going to come back and save us?
34319And the assault? 34319 And the whole thing can be done within an hour or so, right?
34319And then you politely gave them back?
34319And what about the money? 34319 And what about you?"
34319And what do we do? 34319 And what if I do n''t choose to see it your way?"
34319And who are you?
34319And you let that get you down?
34319Any hint of unintelligent life down there?
34319Any idea where he is now?
34319Any other connections?
34319Any telemetry?
34319Are there hostages down here?
34319Are they going to be all right?
34319Are they unlocked?
34319Are we supposed to believe any of this? 34319 Are you all right?"
34319Are you bastards having fun?
34319Are you okay, Mike?
34319Are you okay? 34319 Are you ready?"
34319Are you still here?
34319Are you sure you want to do that?
34319Around what?
34319Bullshitting the help again?
34319But a bomb is just another chunk of enriched uranium without these, right?
34319But all of those entry- points can be sealed, right?
34319But how could he know about the_ Glover_?
34319But what about the choppers? 34319 But what are you going to do now?
34319But what route would you take?
34319By the way, do you have anything on their schedule? 34319 By the way, do you know who he is?
34319By the way, how does the schedule look?
34319By the way, how''re the steaks coming?
34319By the way, is that guy outside who I think he is? 34319 By the way, want to tell me the location of the site?
34319By the way, what were those all about? 34319 By the way, when do you think those friends of his are likely to show up?"
34319By the way,Armont abruptly interrupted everybody''s chain of thought,"what happened to the woman who was here, Dr. Andros?
34319By the way,he said,"what''s in the box?"
34319Ca n''t we just turn it off?
34319Cally, what in blazes is going on down there?
34319Can it be saved?
34319Can we secure up these communications?
34319Can we work without her?
34319Can you meet us there? 34319 Can you see them?
34319Can you walk?
34319Can you--?
34319Care to explain exactly what you have in mind?
34319Care to join me? 34319 Care to join me?"
34319Care to venture a guess?
34319Come on, man, do n''t start giving me a lot of shit, okay? 34319 Copy, Yankee Bravo, want me to fly down for a look- see?"
34319Could they get that vehicle down there off the ground without you being in Command?
34319Cut you out?
34319Did he say what he wanted out of all this? 34319 Did n''t something move just then, right there?"
34319Did n''t we tell her radio silence was essential?
34319Did you have the Swatter armed? 34319 Ditto the fiber- optics cables, I suppose?"
34319Do I need to bother opening this?
34319Do n''t they all?
34319Do they know you came back here?
34319Do they look like they''re setting up?
34319Do they think Mike''s a terrorist?
34319Do we have any people left on site?
34319Do we have everything you think we might need?
34319Do you copy?
34319Do you have a lead on where they are?
34319Do you own their soul? 34319 Do you read?"
34319Do you read?
34319Do you realize the kind of energy that goes through that conduit? 34319 Do you realize--?"
34319Do you suppose these fuckers have really got a bomb? 34319 Do you think there was a problem?"
34319Do you think they can launch in this kind of weather?
34319Do you think they''re going to kill anybody else?
34319Does anybody really know?
34319Does anybody strenuously object?
34319Does n''t that sound like the worst- case scenario?
34319Dr. Andros, what is the payload for the test launching? 34319 Ed, what the hell is this about?
34319Ever done this before?
34319Firebird Six, do you copy? 34319 Free Europe?"
34319Goddammit Mike, do you copy? 34319 Got something?"
34319Guess what? 34319 Guess you''ll have to find out, wo n''t you?"
34319Had?
34319Having some trouble, you son of a bitch?
34319Hey, I''m back, are n''t I? 34319 Hey, can we kill the beacon?"
34319Hey, dude, is that any way to talk? 34319 How about a Heineken?"
34319How about a bottle of aspirin?
34319How about it? 34319 How about security from the air?
34319How about the Flying Dutchmen?
34319How about you? 34319 How about your friend, Georges?"
34319How about your gear?
34319How are retired archaeologists supposed to look? 34319 How are you feeling?"
34319How are you going to stop them? 34319 How did you get down here?"
34319How do you know who I am?
34319How do you think?
34319How does eight minutes sound to you?
34319How does nuclear blackmail sound? 34319 How does the back way sound to you?"
34319How far are you from Andikythera?
34319How in bloody hell did it come to this?
34319How long has it been since you ate?
34319How long have we got?
34319How long--?
34319How many--?
34319How many?
34319How much experience have you had?
34319How much risk is there?
34319How the hell am I supposed to do that, exactly?
34319How would anybody go about doing that?
34319How''m I doing?
34319How''s Spiros doing?
34319How''s it looking, Cally?
34319How?
34319I can understand you might feel you have a personal stake in this,Reggie Hall said finally,"but what exactly do you think you can do?
34319I do n''t suppose a surgical air strike is possible?
34319I know what you''re thinking-- can Vance handle it for another twenty- four hours? 34319 I mean, who the hell_ are_ you?
34319I repeat, who the hell are you?
34319I was wondering why a creature of such beauty would want to submit herself to this kind of manly trade?
34319I''ll bet half the bozos who came with you do n''t know, do they?
34319If the vehicle itself stays in orbit, then--"Everything would still be controlled from down here, correct?
34319Incidentally, is there any way we possibly could speed it up?
34319Is something--?
34319Is that supposed to mean yes?
34319Is that why you brought him?
34319Is that you, Bill? 34319 Is that you, my friend?"
34319Is your laser going to produce random radio signals?
34319J.J., how long did the coil temperature stay nominal?
34319Jesus, do you want to go in shooting?
34319Jesus, what sewer did Ramirez dredge to come up with you guys?
34319Just go back to sailing?
34319Just what do you think you''re going to do?
34319Know who that was?
34319Look,he said finally, turning to Ramirez,"if you need insurance, why not just take me and let Mannheim go?
34319Look,he said finally,"why do n''t you raise him on that walkie- talkie and let me talk to him?"
34319Michael, are you all right?
34319Michael, is that you? 34319 Mike, where''ve you been?"
34319Mike?
34319Mind telling me the target?
34319Mind telling me what in blazes you''re up to?
34319Mollys? 34319 More lies?"
34319My God, do you know what this is?
34319Need some updating?
34319Next time, how about letting me in on the action?
34319Nichols?
34319No hint? 34319 Now what do you say we get out of here before that guy outside comes blasting in?"
34319Now what? 34319 Now what?"
34319Now will you help me talk some sense into this guy? 34319 Now, Miss Andros, none of us wants that report to be late, do we?
34319Now, is that any way to talk? 34319 Now?
34319Nuclear blackmail?
34319Okay, who else could we use?
34319On you both?
34319One?
34319Or what if one of them did make it, and then the orbital trajectory got altered somehow? 34319 Our crack counterterrorist assault force needs two days just to get into position to do what they''re trained for?"
34319Problem?
34319Put out their eyes?
34319Quietly?
34319Radio who?
34319Ransom?
34319Remember that job you did for Bill Bates?
34319Ruin you?
34319Sabri? 34319 SatCom?"
34319See it? 34319 See that opening over there"--he pointed--"where the wires enter into the conduit?
34319See that window there?
34319She? 34319 Should n''t we hold up a minute and talk first about the hostages?"
34319Should we be having this conversation on the phone?
34319Sirene, do you read me?
34319So after you screwed that up, what was I supposed to do? 34319 So he was in the Sikorsky?"
34319So if somebody wanted to take over this place, that''s where they would start, right? 34319 So tell me, are they planning to try to meddle here?
34319So what are you doing here?
34319So what are you trying to say?
34319So what do we do now? 34319 So what exactly do you propose we do?"
34319So what kind of hardware do they have?
34319So what was the problem?
34319So what''s the program? 34319 So what''s this so- called''top of the line''likely to run me?"
34319So who do you think we need?
34319So who does that leave?
34319So you do n''t know where they went? 34319 So you''re saying we''ve got roughly six hours to get down there and stop it?"
34319So?
34319Souda Bay?
34319Speak English? 34319 Still hoping to get me laid?"
34319Tell me, how did a smart guy like you end up working for a maniac like Ramirez?
34319That''s why you''re here, right?
34319The Hyena?
34319The half- cracked professor?
34319The living quarters? 34319 The son of a bitch is on the phone again?
34319Then can you do that?
34319Then what?
34319Then, what are we supposed to do?
34319Think it''s big enough for somebody to get into?
34319Think they can get away with it?
34319Think we can get her up to ten knots?
34319This guy is killing off your people, right? 34319 This is n''t going to leave you strapped, is it?"
34319Through that door?
34319Ulysses, do you copy?
34319Ulysses, do you read? 34319 Want to come along?
34319Want to go first?
34319Want? 34319 We ca n''t just take out the launch vehicles, a surgical strike, because there''s a chance there could be nuclear material on board?"
34319We invest millions training the finest counterterrorist units in the world and then they ca n''t be deployed in less than half a week?
34319Well, I do n''t know, what about using the Agusta? 34319 Well, can you tell it to''open sesame''and let us in?"
34319Well, so what? 34319 Well, that''s what myth is really about, is n''t it?
34319Well, what about it, Herr Doctor Professor?
34319Well, what happened? 34319 Well, why do n''t we give it a shot anyway?"
34319Well,he continued finally,"does anybody disagree?"
34319What I''m not well aware of is who the hell authorized it?
34319What about fallout?
34319What about him?
34319What about the Deltas?
34319What about the woman?
34319What about their IR assets?
34319What are the Israelis saying?
34319What are you doing here?
34319What are you doing here?
34319What are you doing? 34319 What are you going to do when this is all over?"
34319What are you going to do?
34319What are you saying?
34319What are you suggesting?
34319What are you suggesting?
34319What are you suggesting?
34319What are you talking about?
34319What are you talking about?
34319What are you talking about?
34319What bet was that?
34319What bloody share? 34319 What can I say?"
34319What can I say?
34319What did he tell you?
34319What do they lead to?
34319What do you care what happens to those assholes?
34319What do you have on nationality?
34319What do you mean, we ca n''t?
34319What do you mean? 34319 What do you mean?"
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you mean?
34319What do you think I get paid for?
34319What do you think happened? 34319 What do you think their game is?"
34319What do you think these thugs really want?
34319What do you think?
34319What do you want me to do?
34319What do you want us to do here?
34319What do you want? 34319 What do you want?"
34319What else can you ID?
34319What else do you know?
34319What else is happening out there in the world Ramirez was planning to nuke?
34319What else? 34319 What else?
34319What happened down there?
34319What happened to Milos, you bastard?
34319What happened?
34319What happened?
34319What happens if you guess right?
34319What if the entrance topside were locked? 34319 What in hell are you doing?"
34319What in hell are you talking about?
34319What in hell happened?
34319What in the name of God happened?
34319What is it?
34319What is your location?
34319What kind of deal?
34319What kind?
34319What seems to be the problem?
34319What seems to be the problem?
34319What the hell are they doing outside in the first place? 34319 What the hell are you talking about?"
34319What the hell happened?
34319What was our ETA for Andikythera?
34319What were you thinking about, exactly?
34319What would be your insertion strategy, given what we''ve just discussed?
34319What''re you doing for the next couple of days?
34319What''s down below us here? 34319 What''s going on?
34319What''s it like to be famous and officially dead at the same time?
34319What''s next?
34319What''s on your mind?
34319What''s our status?
34319What''s that supposed to mean?
34319What''s that supposed to mean?
34319What''s that?
34319What''s the definition of a terrorist? 34319 What''s the matter, Ed?
34319What''s the other?
34319What''s the plan? 34319 What''s the point?"
34319What''s the problem?
34319What''s the second place? 34319 What''s the terrain like?"
34319What--?
34319What--?
34319What? 34319 What?
34319What? 34319 What?
34319What? 34319 What?"
34319What?
34319What?
34319What?
34319What?
34319When did the chopper lift off?
34319When were these hypothetical weapons found to be missing?
34319When will you know for sure?
34319Where are you?
34319Where did he go?
34319Where is he?
34319Where is that in the real world? 34319 Where was he?"
34319Where were we? 34319 Where would we deploy them?"
34319Where''s the entrance?
34319Where''s the money coming from? 34319 Where--?"
34319Where? 34319 Where?"
34319Which means we definitely scratch the original ETA, right? 34319 Which one of them are you?"
34319Who are you?
34319Who are you?
34319Who are you?
34319Who do you think you''re talking to?
34319Who here knows how to stop the countdown? 34319 Who knows?"
34319Who the hell are you?
34319Who the hell is this?
34319Who the hell knows? 34319 Who the hell knows?
34319Who told you such a thing?
34319Who''s leading it?
34319Who''s that?
34319Who''s that?
34319Who?
34319Who?
34319Why did n''t you go after him and kill him?
34319Why did n''t you?
34319Why do n''t_ you_ go get them?
34319Why do these terrorist blokes always think they''ve got to trash a place?
34319Why not? 34319 Why so long--?"
34319Why the hell not? 34319 Why would you want to do this, anyway?
34319Wide?
34319Willem or Hugo?
34319Willem, how much farther do you reckon we''ve got to go to make the island?
34319With all the SatCom stock I''ve got now?
34319With nobody paying? 34319 Would you believe it''s back on?
34319Would you like to pick the first? 34319 You are going to die anyway, so what do you care?"
34319You came in through there?
34319You do know that, do n''t you?
34319You do n''t care a damn about the''Muslim peoples,''do you, senor?
34319You know who he is?
34319You mean Mannheim?
34319You mean go down to the Bates Motel?
34319You mean him?
34319You mean there?
34319You mean you murdered him, too?
34319You mean--?
34319You say the Hind has been crashed?
34319You still there, asshole?
34319You want an honest answer?
34319You were planning just to murder all your helpers anyway, right?
34319You''re going to bug out, are n''t you?
34319You''re going to just give up?
34319You''re really going to do it, are n''t you?
34319You''re saying Ulysses could have sailed up a creek, for all it mattered?
34319You''re saying my main orders are to save the infrastructure?
34319You''re talking about a pre- specified abort?
34319_ Glover_, do you read me? 34319 _ Glover_, what--?"
34319''Nuclear material''?
34319''Roll over your obligations?
34319''That those idiots nuked themselves?"
34319''That''s it?"
34319''The conduit?"
34319''The nightmare''s finally come true?
34319''Then why do n''t we go there together?
34319''This one?
34319''This place must have TV monitors somewhere, am I right?
34319.?
3431910:01 P.M."What are you doing?"
3431912:25 A.M. Now what?
343192:09 A.M."Did you get it?"
343192:40 P.M."What''s this all about?"
343196:15 A.M."Mr. President,"the voice said,"have you made your decision yet?"
343196:35 A.M. How the hell, Ramirez wondered, did Vance get on the loose again?
343197:21 A.M."How does it look?"
343197:22 A.M."Do you know how to handle this?"
343197:46 A.M."What in blazes is he doing?"
343198:14 A.M."What happened?"
343199:04 P.M."How does an ETA of 0200 hours sound to you?"
343199:31 A.M."Georges, what do you think?"
34319?
34319?
34319?"
34319?"
34319?"
34319A Pave- Low?"
34319A chopper approaching?
34319A direct assault?
34319A tactical nuke, you say?
34319A tornado?
34319A two- pronged pincer?
34319About what?
34319Abruptly he wondered if the damaged wing would affect stability on touchdown?
34319Again I ask you, Eric, am I getting the fuck through?"
34319Ahead of them the doors to Command were closed-- who knew if they were locked or even booby- trapped?
34319All the months of fine- tuning and technical calibration throughout the facility, had all that effort been wasted?
34319Already he had a bad feeling it might involve terrorists, but where did they get the Soviet helicopter?
34319Am I making myself clear?"
34319Am I supposed to shoot down a civilian?
34319Am I understood?"
34319Ambassador?"
34319And Bill?
34319And I want to start with the sailboat-- what did you call it?
34319And all these guys?
34319And how about the Bates Motel?"
34319And how many more of the bastards are there?
34319And if he still does n''t respond, then what?
34319And if he was here, had he called in ARM?
34319And now you say the gantry is gone?
34319And now?
34319And what was that?
34319And what were they carrying?
34319And why did humanity always need to worship something?
34319And why not?
34319And why not?
34319And why not?
34319And why not?
34319And you?"
34319Andy, anything happening on IR?"
34319Any other bad news?"
34319Any problems?"
34319Anybody to take out the bastards in the chopper?
34319Are they tinkering with your rockets?"
34319Are you all right?"
34319Are you all right?"
34319Are you getting help?
34319Are you in trouble already?
34319Are you okay?
34319Are you ready?"
34319Are you synchronized?"
34319As he stared down, he was wondering: How would they choose to try and take the mountain?
34319At this hour?"
34319Besides, what harm did it do?
34319Bingo, he thought, what have we here?
34319But can you get through to Israeli Control?
34319But did he want to risk going back down?
34319But even if they had, could they send in a team?
34319But if they put a bomb on VX- 1, who knows what they could end up doing?"
34319But just who the hell are you?"
34319But the man who saved me, what was his name?
34319But the question that still hung over the world was, what would happen the next time?
34319But then who knew?
34319But was anybody picking it up?
34319But was he trying to pull something?
34319But what about the German?
34319But what about the other one, the one Ramirez had taken with him in the Sikorsky?
34319But what are you going to do in the meantime?"
34319But what could they know about computers?
34319But what did these thugs want?
34319But what if he got caught?
34319But where was his brother?
34319But where?
34319But who cared?
34319But who knew?
34319But why not let me take some flash grenades and a gun?
34319But why would Georges--?"
34319But why?
34319But would it be enough to delay the launch?
34319But would the vehicle make it to orbit?
34319But would they know enough history to appreciate what he''d done?
34319By the way, how''re we doing?"
34319By the way, how''s everybody doing there?
34319By the way, how''s the weather up there?
34319CAN YOU SWITCH ON THE SERVOS?
34319CHAPTER TWELVE 10:05 P.M."Is there anything we need to go over again?"
34319CIA?"
34319Ca n''t I call him back?
34319Cally, Cally, where are you?
34319Cally, is that you?"
34319Can vou still make it tonight at all?"
34319Can you believe?
34319Can you hang on that long?"
34319Can you hear me?"
34319Can you reconfirm?"
34319Can you set it up?"
34319Can you take the ferry?"
34319Can you tell what happened?"
34319Can you use that some way to get to this guy?
34319Carried out a rogue operation?
34319Chutes still look okay?"
34319Come up with anything yet?"
34319Coming?"
34319Comment allez vous?"
34319Could it be that I have the honor to be speaking to none other than William Bates?
34319Could it be true?
34319Could there be a way to disable the weapon now poised up there without having to reach it?
34319Could they breach SatCom''s security and get in?
34319Could you stay by the radio and assist us after insertion, telling us-- as best you know-- how the hostiles are deployed?
34319Could you try there?"
34319Did he escape, get captured?
34319Did n''t he just shoot somebody in your control room?"
34319Did n''t you know?"
34319Did the message LeFarge had passed along,"Ulysses has landed,"mean he was on the island somewhere?
34319Did the ransom money come through?
34319Did they--?"
34319Did we hit any civilians?
34319Do n''t you have any faith?"
34319Do they really have a nuke, and if they do, how in hell did they get it and what are they planning to do with it?"
34319Do we get to go for Double Jeopardy?"
34319Do we have any KH-12 PHOTOINT of the island here yet?"
34319Do you acknowledge?"
34319Do you copy?
34319Do you copy?"
34319Do you copy?"
34319Do you have Mae Wests?"
34319Do you read me?"
34319Do you read?"
34319Do you remember where the medical room was from the blueprints?"
34319Do you want to try and take out Launch Control, or do you want to move on Command?
34319Do your buddies out there care whether you live or die?"
34319Does anybody know what''s going on with this whole fucked- up op?
34319Does anyone here want to disagree?"
34319Does character show?"
34319Does it mean the fuckers have n''t gotten around to taking over the launch facility yet?
34319Does she realize what''s about to happen?
34319Does that satisfy you?"
34319Does the twenty- four still look firm?"
34319Doing what?
34319Ever check out the paintings of the early ships on Greek vases?"
34319Feed her a comforting lie, or tell her the truth?
34319Fifty thou worth at the current price?
34319Finally he handed her the free end and shouted,"Here, can you secure this around something?"
34319Five hundred?
34319Five thousand?
34319Flyovers, that kind of action?"
34319For one thing, what are you going to sail in?"
34319For purposes of your mission debriefing, can you just say the precise number of hostiles remains to be fully established?
34319For that matter, Armont suddenly thought, why not try and bring her in out of the cold, too?
34319Friend or foe?
34319From The Odyssey: Book Nine_ CHAPTER ONE 7:25 P.M."Do you read me,_ Odyssey II_?
34319Get it?
34319Giving it to a bunch of assholes?
34319God, he thought, do I look as haggard as he does?
34319Going in?
34319Good to hear your voice, but this is a hell of a time--""Who else would it be, you loony gringo?
34319HOW MANY TERRORISTS?
34319Had Ramirez''s terrorist team encircled them, drawn them in?
34319Had he been killed as well?
34319Had he been right after all?
34319Had he lied about the money, too?
34319Had he really seen it?
34319Had he screwed up, too?
34319Had one of the nuclear devices been detonated?
34319Had the Deltas countermanded his orders?
34319Had the Israelis really attacked a U.S. frigate?
34319Had the U.S. decided to get off its butt and start protecting its citizens?
34319Have a business disagreement with your partner in crime?"
34319Have we snared the CEO?
34319Having any trouble?"
34319He had never even imagined such things could really happen; it was only in the movies, right?
34319He turned back to the cabin, forehead bleeding, and yelled,"Everybody okay?"
34319He''s about to screw Sabri Ramirez, but how?
34319Helicopter?"
34319Help us?"
34319How about it?
34319How about just blowing up a portion of the rails it moves on?
34319How about switching channels?
34319How about trying to remove that bomb"--he pointed up at VX-1--"before that thing goes up?"
34319How about you doing yours?
34319How big is that, Ed, in English?"
34319How can it be sending back images?"
34319How could humanity create so much that was bad at the same time?
34319How could she manage to carry on?
34319How did I get into this?
34319How did all that beauty and ugliness get mixed up together down in our genes?
34319How did everybody in Launch Control miss what was really going on?
34319How do you think I knew this frequency?
34319How in hell can you do that?"
34319How long before we can get some computer enhancement of this?
34319How long before you can get your boys in the air?"
34319How long can he hold on?
34319How many gigawatts per second?
34319How many hostiles were there?
34319How many?
34319How much time is there?
34319How the hell did they get through facility security?
34319How the hell, he was wondering, did Michael Vance get on the island in the first place?
34319How to cut into the system and send him a little personal E- mail?
34319How were they equipped?
34319How will we get it down?"
34319How would he like to get rich?
34319How''s that for efficiency?
34319How''s that sound?"
34319Huh?
34319Humiliations?
34319I figure you''re expecting about four thou a week for this baby, correct?"
34319I know I''m not supposed--""Who''s they?"
34319I repeat, what is your intention?"
34319I won''t--""Well, well,"the man interrupted,"could it be I am luckier than I dreamed possible?
34319I''d guess it''s probably an uninhabited island, right?"
34319I''m being invited to a motel by this woman?
34319IS HE OKAY?
34319Idiot, how did you get yourself into this?
34319If he and these creeps were n''t here for blackmail, threatening to destroy the facility, against a payoff, then what could they possibly want?
34319If it ai n''t broke, do n''t fix it, know what I mean?"
34319If it was still working, what would he do?
34319If these were just the discarded crates, what else did these guys have?
34319If they did have a nuclear device, or devices, whose was it?
34319If this was merely an industrial matter, why was n''t somebody negotiating?
34319If we have to make an insert, what do we need?"
34319If we''re not mobile, then what the hell are we doing in the Med in the first place?"
34319If you''re not here, then I ca n''t very well know_ who_ you take out, can I?
34319Is everything CQ where you are?
34319Is he at home?"
34319Is n''t that the security bunch that wired this facility in the first place?"
34319Is that enough excitement for you?"
34319Is that going to get mentioned?"
34319Is that his name?"
34319Is that understood?"
34319Is this some kind of priority exercise?"
34319Is this the getaway car?
34319Isaac was--"Does n''t exactly figure, does it?"
34319It only weighed sixty- five pounds, so why not use it?
34319It was, simply, What do we do now?
34319It''s somebody who uses well- placed acts of violence to disrupt society''s normal functions, right?
34319It''s the only way to prep the satellite payload, right?
34319It''s--""The what?"
34319It--""What are you saying?"
34319Jesus, is there going to be anything left?
34319Jesus, why did n''t anybody tell him anything?
34319Just a big connecting tunnel?''
34319Just be careful, please?"
34319Just shoot him on sight?
34319Just shut the damned thing off?"
34319Like some primitive tribes think a photograph captures their spirit?"
34319Like where had the money come from to mount this operation?
34319MIT, right?"
34319Maintenance access?
34319Make it a twosome?"
34319Mannheim?"
34319Maybe a pressure apparatus that could blow it on the way down, during the reentry phase?
34319Maybe disarm it electronically?
34319Maybe sneak in and take some photos?
34319Maybe you--""Well, how did the power- up go?
34319Maybe, he was thinking, he should call in a Huey for a rescue op?
34319Nobody so much as touches a keyboard, got it?"
34319Nothing?"
34319Now for one more minor miracle: Could he manage to pull it free before everything disappeared into the dark and the swell?
34319Now we''re spying on Americans, is that it?"
34319Now what about the Agusta?"
34319Now what?
34319Now what?
34319Now what?
34319Now who in the hell are these thugs?"
34319Now, how about leaving that thing on long enough for us to get out of here and back up the hill?
34319Now, how many more of your team is in there?
34319Okay, he thought quickly, where is everybody?
34319Okay, how''re we doing?
34319One bright spot was the voice on the radio this morning?
34319Or had Dr. Andros forgotten he was arriving?
34319Or was it fog?
34319Or was the threat of a bomb just a hoax?
34319Or would they use some other technique?
34319Otherwise what do I get out of this job?
34319Part of the problem, he thought, was how do you ask somebody if they''ve lost something that they''ve never admitted having in the first place?
34319Perimeter surveillance?
34319President?"
34319Probably just feeding me some kind of bullshit, so why do n''t you send out Helling for a minute?
34319Questions?
34319Ransom or what?"
34319Remember that inlet on the south side of the island, that little harbor at Kapsali?
34319Reprogramming the vehicle into a missile?
34319Sadism?
34319Security guards?
34319See it?
34319See them?"
34319She was concentrating on the screen"Now, where do you think our friends are down there?"
34319Should I inform the Greek government?
34319Should they go ahead with the assault as planned, to take the time to try to find him and pull him out?
34319So had he?
34319So how did it work?
34319So how did they overcome him?
34319So how had this character come up with all those millions of bucks?
34319So if nobody was here, then who exactly took down all these terrorist motherfuckers?"
34319So much tyranny, greed, hurt?
34319So we''re going to need a pilot, right?
34319So what are the possibilities?"
34319So what happened to that arrogant French prick?
34319So what happened?
34319So what the hell was the real story?
34319So what was the problem?
34319So what was their target?
34319So what were they doing?
34319So when Shujat and I have finished our part, what then?
34319So where is it?"
34319So who was he, really?
34319So who was it?
34319So why do n''t you do everybody a favor and let me talk to this Peretz?
34319So why in hell are you going to still launch an A- bomb?"
34319So why not give it back to the bastards, in spades?
34319So why not just let them have it and then get on with matters?
34319So why not?"
34319So why would they suddenly permit an assault rehearsal?
34319So, say they had two nuclear devices?
34319Some eleventh- hour revisions by Jordan McCormick, a young new speechwriter from Harvard who liked to tinker till the very last minute?
34319Some of the hardware they''d brought in the Hind?
34319Sort?"
34319Stick to the procedure?
34319Talked back to the Sirens?
34319That America could go in with too little, too late?
34319That unknown terrorists are behind this whole thing?
34319That''s--""Such as?"
34319The Delta Force saving us?"
34319The Hyena?"
34319The Israeli''s attempt to pull out early had just been cut off at the pass, so why not see what would happen if the scenario got shut down entirely?
34319The biggest question of all, however, was why the urgency?
34319The gray box would receive the electronic query,"Are you a friend?"
34319The next problem is, who can we get there and how long would it take?"
34319The other bad news?"
34319The question is, how many weapons are involved and what is their yield?"
34319The question is, why?"
34319The question was, what for?
34319The second time around was supposed to be a charm, right?
34319The six hours that Cally had talked about, the six hours left before the liftoff: how much of that time was left?
34319The team had little enough to spare, and besides-- why give away your position and create a target?
34319The usual suspects?"
34319Then he asked,"Where is Ulysses?"
34319Then it would he secure, right?"
34319Then why do n''t we go down and have a look?"
34319There was nothing--""And what do the Israelis have to say for themselves?"
34319These vehicles are intended to go into orbit, right?
34319They also retrieve all the telemetry from the spacecraft, and--""What''s belowground down there?"
34319They both were thinking the same thing: What kind of military action was possible?
34319They killed--""What did you say?
34319They--"ARM?"
34319Think Bill would mind?"
34319Think that''s possible?"
34319Think they can handle it on such short notice?"
34319Think they could really do it?"
34319Think you can handle it?"
34319This is going to have to come out of a budget somewhere, so who do I stiff to pay off these bastards?
34319This was your idea, remember?
34319To interdict them if they tried to get away?
34319Try and intercept them?"
34319Usual terrorist MO?"
34319WHAT DO THEY WANT?
34319WHERE IS BATES?
34319WHO ARE YOU?
34319WHO ARE YOU?
34319Want to tell me what happened?"
34319Was Cally watching this moment of triumph?
34319Was Isaac talking about the Israeli Hind that had attacked the Glover?
34319Was Isaac''s grand scheme going to work?
34319Was Ramirez just going to shoot him before he had a chance to do anything?
34319Was Ramirez that same figure?
34319Was anything usable in the Agusta?
34319Was he Bill Bates''new second- in- command?
34319Was he about to be in trouble?
34319Was he in on the scam?
34319Was he in trouble?
34319Was he intending to screw Number One somehow and get away with all the marbles?
34319Was it a clean job?
34319Was it beginning to storm again?
34319Was it moving?
34319Was it shock?
34319Was it somebody who''d picked up his radio Mayday?
34319Was it their next target?
34319Was it true?
34319Was it working?
34319Was n''t Satan the real hero of Paradise Lost?
34319Was she down at Launch?
34319Was she hit?"
34319Was she still mad?
34319Was she thinking the same thing?
34319Was somebody on the island still free?
34319Was that it?
34319Was that their plan?
34319Was that your way of making an example of him?
34319Was the Navy''s quarantine intended to keep them from bringing in reinforcements?
34319Was the_ batard_ up to something?
34319Was their objective merely to extract the friendlies, or were they also ordered to"neutralize"all the hostiles?
34319Was this the assault he had been half expecting?
34319Was this the golden moment to try and take him?
34319We understand each other so far?"
34319We wanted to get all the facts before--""It was in the Med?"
34319We''re taking fire forward--""What are--?"
34319Were the terrorists in the process of screwing each other?
34319Were there any other ships in the area?
34319Were these guys really having radio and nav problems, like they''d said, or were they about to try something funny, some amateur attempt at evasion?
34319Were they about to turn them on full blast?
34319Were they going to strafe?
34319Were they industrial spies trying to pull a fast one?
34319Were they just as tedious?
34319Were they just two opposite sides of the same emotion?
34319Were they locked up in their own safe little enclave somewhere?
34319Were they ready?
34319Were they safe?
34319Were they the ones who had just stormed Command, not the U.S.?
34319Were they the same as ours?
34319What about Bates?"
34319What am I doing?
34319What are they really like?
34319What better way to cover an egress?
34319What can he be planning?
34319What can he be talking about?
34319What can he do?"
34319What did he mean about checking with our closest allies?"
34319What did humanity think about three thousand years ago?
34319What did it mean?
34319What did that mean?
34319What did--?"
34319What do you know, you smart- ass?
34319What do you say we just pack it all in and go sailing?"
34319What do you take me for?
34319What do you take me for?"
34319What do you think it means?"
34319What do you think?
34319What do you think?
34319What do you want?
34319What does that matter?"
34319What else was there?
34319What had Bill once said?
34319What had Mannheim warned?
34319What had happened?
34319What had that been all about?
34319What happened?"
34319What happened?"
34319What happened?"
34319What have you got on that?"
34319What if Ramirez had left Launch and gone back to Command?
34319What if one of the radio signals produced just happens to be the one that triggers its detonator?
34319What in blazes do you mean?"
34319What in blazes had gone on?
34319What in blazes had happened?
34319What in bloody hell?"
34319What in hell did that mean?
34319What in hell do I have to do to convince you people that the assault ca n''t wait?
34319What in hell was going on?
34319What is it?"
34319What is your callsign?"
34319What is your intention?
34319What kind of bluff was that?
34319What kind of impact would a weapon like that actually have at that altitude?"
34319What makes us human?
34319What next?
34319What now?
34319What now?
34319What now?
34319What now?
34319What now?
34319What point was there in spreading the ransom all over the place?
34319What should I say?
34319What the hell are you talking about?
34319What the hell does that mean?
34319What the hell to do next?
34319What the hell was going on, anyway?
34319What the hell was that about?
34319What the hell was the Pentagon talking about?
34319What time is the next radio check with Vance?"
34319What to do?
34319What to do?
34319What to do?
34319What was Cally doing?
34319What was his scene?
34319What was it Harry Truman said about the place where the buck stops?
34319What was it doing here?
34319What was it like?"
34319What was it, that thing half- buried in the trees, about two- thirds the way up the mountain?
34319What was it?
34319What was it?
34319What was it?
34319What was she doing?
34319What was that about a launch?
34319What was that all about?
34319What was that for?
34319What was that sound?
34319What was that?
34319What was that?
34319What was the disposition of the hostages?
34319What was the layout of the facility on the island?
34319What was the point of mass murder?
34319What was the point?
34319What was this about?
34319What was wrong with her?
34319What was wrong with this picture?
34319What were their loves, their hates, their fears, their dreams?
34319What were those?
34319What would Ulysses have done with a shortwave radio?
34319What would happen, he was wondering, if Ramirez saw him again?
34319What would he know about anything?
34319What would she feel next?
34319What would the morning look like, Vance wondered, if a nuclear device exploded at Souda Bay on nearby Crete?
34319What''s he about to do?
34319What''s her class?"
34319What''s in between?
34319What''s that all about?
34319What''s the problem, Yankee Bravo?"
34319What''s the story?"
34319What''s your position?"
34319What''s your status?"
34319What, he wondered, had happened to Mike?
34319What, he wondered, was that all about?
34319What, he wondered, was the point anyway?
34319What?
34319When does the balloon go up?"
34319When they found out, were they going to fall apart, endangering everybody and everything?
34319When was this going to end?
34319When we''re down to a bow and arrow each?"
34319Where are you guys?
34319Where are you now?"
34319Where can we find some chemicals?
34319Where did he come from?
34319Where did the drive come from to create-- poetry, music, painting?
34319Where do you think he''s headed?"
34319Where had the weather come from?
34319Where in bloody hell is it going to end?
34319Where in hell are they?"
34319Where was Jamal?
34319Where was Pierre?
34319Where was he?
34319Where was the SatCom security staff?
34319Where were the civilian SWAT teams?
34319Where you think he is?"
34319Where--?"
34319Where?
34319Where?"
34319Which do you want it to be?"
34319Which more than ever left open the question-- who the hell were they?
34319Which was it?
34319Which way was the wind going to blow next?
34319Which will it be?"
34319Who are these creeps?
34319Who are you, really?"
34319Who can blame them?
34319Who could ask for more?
34319Who could blame him?
34319Who could have known?
34319Who could it be?
34319Who do you think we ought to use?"
34319Who else could they be?"
34319Who gave a shit?
34319Who in hell did it?"
34319Who knew if it would work?
34319Who knew who else was listening in?
34319Who needed it?
34319Who needed this?
34319Who the fuck knows?"
34319Who the hell are you?
34319Who the hell knew?
34319Who was trying to screw up the Med?
34319Who, J.J. was wondering, was this hotshot standing next to Dr. Andros?
34319Who?
34319Why Vance, who was a nobody?
34319Why clutter up the place any more?
34319Why did n''t they get him?
34319Why do n''t you let me have a chat with that genius you''ve got running the computer?
34319Why had n''t anybody cleaned that up?
34319Why in hell do you think I was trying to stop it?"
34319Why in hell would he want to go ahead and do it?
34319Why not just call his bluff?
34319Why not just short- circuit these wires and let the thing''s own safety system shut it down?
34319Why not seize it?
34319Why not tell him?
34319Why not use_ me_ as bait?"
34319Why not?
34319Why not?
34319Why not?
34319Why should all the radios suddenly go dead?
34319Why wait for a vote?
34319Why was Souda Bay being evacuated?
34319Why was it that the only things that tasted good were all supposed to be bad for you?
34319Why was n''t he helping?
34319Why would he do that?"
34319Why?
34319Will that be enough?"
34319Will the son of a bitch be ruthless enough to use one of those nukes?
34319Will the wire hold?
34319Will we be"accidentally"gunned down, the way Rais was?
34319Would it still inflate?
34319Would the impulse be enough to lift it off?
34319Would the others notice?
34319Would the stubborn Iranian hold steady?
34319Would these men hold together the way he required?
34319Would they just forget about her and move on?
34319You could set it down pretty much where you wanted, could n''t you?"
34319You double- verified, right?
34319You have the plans for that, right?"
34319You mean try paying your bills on time?"
34319You say this happened over six hours ago?"
34319You swam here?"
34319You''re a card- carrying Marxist, right?"
34319_ Will you need any additional capitalization?
34319and maybe a little potassium chlorate for ignition?"
34319but yet, what about Beirut and the Marine barracks, demolished by a suicide mission?
34319do you copy?
34319he wondered, and does this little toy helo have enough lift to yank this thing out of here?
34319or what was the point?
34319what are you talking about?"
34319what if I paid you with some of my personal SatCom stock?
34319what?
34319what?
