No Way Out Monologues

A coverup and witchhunt occur after a politician accidentally kills his mistress.

You have NO IDEA what men of POWER can *DO*!

He's the most extraordinary person I've ever met in my life. If it came to it, I'd lay down my life for him.

Tom is the one who saw you at Susan's. He's known about you all along, isn't that right? We do know what that means. If Commander Farrell is the man who was with Miss Atwell, then Commander Farrell is the man who killed Miss Atwell. And we know that the man who killed Miss Atwell is Yuri. Therefore, Commander Farrell IS Yuri, quod erat demonstrandum.

That was a stupid, *stupid* thing you did!

It doesn't matter. All the intelligence agencies believe that there's a mole in the Defense Department. You know the theory: that Yuri was sent here by the KGB while he was still in his teens. For all intents and purposes, he can pass as an American.

But, now, there is. He was the man who spent the weekend with Susan. He was the man who killed her.

I am tired of weakness! I am faced with a grave problem, and I intend to resolve it quickly and cleanly.

Don't be an idiot. Do you realize the magnitude of the scandal? The Secretary of Defense and a Soviet agent sharing the favors of a murdered whore!

I expect you to follow direct orders! And I expect you to demonstrate the personal loyalty to which both the Secretary and I have every right.

I don't see a U.S. visa. You're an illegal alien. Do you know who I am? I can pick up that phone and I can have you on the first plane to Johannesburg. I'm assuming you have a reason for not wanting to be there.
