Shea Whigham: Mitch Decker

Quotes 

• Mitch Decker : Mind if I bend your ear for a minute?

  Gary Noesner : Sure. What's going on?

  Mitch Decker : A friend came to see me. Word is you're thinking of filing a complaint. Look, Gary, I don't know what your problem is with me, but I don't have a problem with you, and I don't want one.

  Gary Noesner : When I negotiate, I always try to see five steps ahead, you know? But you have a tendency to react to what's going on in the moment. Sometimes you don't see the big picture.

  Mitch Decker : Say what you want to say, Noesner.

  Gary Noesner : I see the direction the Bureau's heading in, and I don't like it. You know as well as I do the more firepower you get, the less chance I get to solve things peacefully.

  Mitch Decker : You really see yourself as some kind of Boy Scout, don't you? But you're digging in the same filth as the rest of us. Your hands are no cleaner than mine. Remember Sperryville? I do. Take a look at the big picture here. Look five steps ahead of what happens if you decide to come after me now.
