[after Jack has just arrived at the Central Intelligence Agency] Admiral James Greer: Jesus! You look like hell!
Right after 9/11, I mean, every agency can give their own gradation, but a nice, popular rule of thumb is everybody doubled down. I ended up in the NSA with about twice as much money as I had prior to 9/11.
