:13:01
Curious how you always revert to
your native tongue

:13:03
in moments of extreme anger.
:13:05
And ecstasy.
:13:09
Oh God... Oh, God!
:13:20
You are beautiful.
:13:22
What's your name again?
:13:30
The only option for Vitaly and me
:13:31
was under-the-counter gunrunning.
:13:34
Beirut, Lebanon - 1984
:13:35
I got my first break in Lebanon
:13:37
after the suicide bombing.
:13:41
But I wasn't the only local kid
making good.

:13:48
When the United States leaves a war zone...
:13:50
they generally don't take
their munitions.

:13:53
It costs more to bring it back
:13:54
than to buy new stock.
:13:56
So, we sell by the kilo.
:14:00
They're secondhand weapons,
:14:01
but they're still okay.
:14:05
How many kilos would you like?
:14:07
Five thousand.
:14:08
I had a flair for languages...
:14:10
...but I soon discovered that what
talks best is dollars, dinars...

:14:13
...drachmas, rubles, rupees, and
pounds-fucking-sterling.

:14:17
Of course, the U.S. Army got a
piece of the action.

:14:20
Army salaries were no better then
than they are today.

:14:23
And some of the brass,
:14:24
like Lieutenant Colonel Southern...
:14:26
needed to raise money for their
own private wars.

:14:29
Good to make your acquaintance.
:14:31
This is bullshit money,
:14:33
This is small-fucking-potatoes.
:14:35
What do you want to do, go more legit?
:14:37
No, more illegal.
:14:39
What I would give right now
:14:40
for cabbage and potatoes.
