Hub Kittle : Listen, Russell, let's grow up. It's very easy to fall in love with the underdog, but there's an upside and a downside to this thing. I just want to remind you, all this stuff about a "revolution of poets" is crap.
Russell Price : It's great P.R., though, isn't it, Hub? So what's the upside?
Hub Kittle : Simple. And it could happen. Somoza destroys the terrorist insurgents, rebuilds the country, shit-cans the purveyors of excess, stabilizes the Cordoba, and is kindly beloved as the savior of Nicaragua. "Our" pal. Gotta' smoke?
Russell Price : [hands him a cigarette] What's the downside?
Hub Kittle : Commies take over the world.
