If the time comes, I'd be interested in a personal audience.
[This is the even tone he'd use to talk to the Americans, when they're becoming more of a hindrance than anything. He might not like what he's hearing, but there's a level of power that it's important to handle carefully.]
I can't say that it does answer my question. It would if I'd asked what you've been told to say... and to be honest, the fact that Mr. Van Rijn has stepped away doesn't lead me to believe that he's terribly concerned about winning our trust.
Would two years of good living make it difficult for you to put yourself in our position? I anticipate that you'll say that you can and you have, but I'm speaking of a matter of perspective, not operating from a premise you're attempting to set.
