TRANSCRIPT

Listen carefully.
I’m going to pronounce a few words.
Just a bunch of letters scrambled together.
Try to understand what they mean.
In view of the exceptional gravity of the matter,
I have felt it necessary to communicate with you directly.
You must know your enemy.
Well, my mistake,
I thought he was working for you people.
One man thought he could stop them,
But they took him apart, piece by piece.
I need a contact at Langley.
Oh, by the way, you’re elected.
I need a contact at Langley.
It’s my turn to ask a few questions.
The substance may be unfounded,
But the rumor exists.
Its existence makes it fact.
It is a fact that there is a rumor.
He’s running with some pretty big fish,
But they have a smell.
You’re very clever with your words,
But history will judge you.
Times change.
Today, people like to play it safe.
There can be only one future for men such as this.
You shall know the truth,
And the truth shall make you free.
You know perfectly well that there are safeguards enough
in the Senate and the House
to keep any one branch from misusing their power.
I want you to do something for me.
Well, now that’s more like it.
Why can’t you recognize reality?
I need a contact at Langley.
I’ll be on my way in another direction.
I need a contact at Langley.
I suppose it could’ve been a coincidence.
An outward image of incompetence
is a priceless asset
in the shadow world of espionage.
I know it’s always existed,
But never this bad.
Keep away from the windows,
Someone might blow you a kiss.
