Listen. I work for the CIA. I am not a spy. I just read books! We read everything that’s published in the world. And we… we feed the plots - dirty tricks, codes - into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, I look for new ideas… We read adventures and novels and journals. I… I… Who’d invent a job like that?

You locked me up into your stuffy little hyper-lock chamber and tossed me away into the depths like yesterday’s trash. Do you have any idea what it’s like to be locked up in a rotten egg for 6,000 years? It’s boring. Not to mention I had a Charley horse since the Renaissance.
