Edward Herrmann: Brown
Quotes
-
Ross : [Talking about Cooper] He made the mousetrap himself. All we did was feed him a piece of cheese.
Brown : About this piece of cheese, sir. What's going to happen to him?
Ross : What?
Brown : Wouldn't it bother you to send an innocent man to his grave?
Ross : Are you serious? We're talking about my career.
Brown : But I'm the one who picked him, sir.
Ross : Don't tell me you're having a guilty conscience.
Brown : It was his shoe. I could have picked a black man with a green raincoat. There was a Japanese guy with five cameras. I could have picked him. But I preferred the guy with the red shoe.
Ross : Brown, you're not being paid to be a philosopher. Wait until you retire. Tell Virdon and Reese to clear off and take a well-earned rest. They must be tired.
Brown : But what am I supposed to do with the Red Shoe?
Ross : [as the helicopter takes off] Save him for your memoirs.

Ross : [Closing lines] And the Man With One Red Shoe. What's going to happen to him?
Brown : He'll be just fine.
Ross : And the girl?
Brown : The deal was her testimony for her freedom. I think it was a fair exchange.
Ross : Well, I don't think so.
Brown : [as Brown get on the helicopter] Well, since you're no longer director of CIA, and I am, it doesn't matter what you think.
[Ross gives him a angry look as the helicopter takes off]
