Steven Culp: Peter Hardwick

Quotes 

• Peter Hardwick : Hey, Gary. Catch the game last night?

  Gary Noesner : Nah, I couldn't. But I did catch wind of Mitch Dixon's windfall. Ten million more for HRT, huh?

  Peter Hardwick : Yeah.

  Gary Noesner : You think that's a good idea?

  Peter Hardwick : The world isn't getting any more peaceful. I don't want my men being outgunned.

  Gary Noesner : Well, if you put more guns in people's hands, they're gonna use 'em.

  Peter Hardwick : What does that mean?

  Gary Noesner : There's a paradox to power. The more force you bring to a situation, the more likely you are to meet resistance. If we could spend some of those resouces training agents to negotiate, I guarantee that you would invest a lot less in body bags.

  Peter Hardwick : We can't talk our way out of every situation. This is a good thing, Gary. A show of force helps bring people to the negotiating table.
