Funny Movie Quote About the NSA

December 21st, 2005 • General Hilarity

Now that finals are done, I’m hanging out at home working on stuff. A side benefit (?) of this is I’m watching a lot of random television during the day. I’m watching the movie Sneakers right now and heard this exchange:

Dick Gordon (Timothy Busfield’s character who works for the NSA): National Security Agency.
Martin Bishop (Robert Redford’s character who is a security expert): Ah. You’re the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone.
Dick Gordon: No, that’s the FBI. We’re not chartered for domestic surveillance.
Martin Bishop: Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators.
Dick Gordon: No, that’s the CIA. We protect our government’s communications, we try to break the other fella’s codes. We’re the good guys, Marty.
Martin Bishop: Gee, I can’t tell you what a relief that is, Dick.

(emphasis added by me)

Man, this movie is so 1990s…
