      There’s something about their patter that’s so “kids playing soldier”, or nerd kid playing West Wing. They talk like how they think their grizzled smart political thriller characters talk “The Russians are getting all buddy buddy with Iran, and if we don’t upload that dossier to HQ then all of Europe can kiss it’s ass goodbye.” Racks pistol, lights cig, corrects woman.
