STRAKER; ,..... and the fact that they chose Roper to do their dirty work. Why?
FREEMAN; One.... because he had access to SID and understood its problems better than most
STRAKER; And two..... they knew he was soft on his wife and could be easily manipulated.
FREEMAN; He’s told us everything he knows....
STRAKER; Which isn’t much.... But....

Freeman goes over to the dispenser. Dials a scotch.
STRAKER; I’ll have a double while you’re up there. On the rocks. No. Make that a triple. Look Alec, its after five. Let’s close up the place for the night. Tell everyone they can leave as soon as everything is shut down.
