The Odyssey - The Sirens' Song of Longing and Regret
Eurylochus:
What was the song of the sirens like?
Odysseus:
All the things you wanted to be and then all the things you wished you never wished for. It was a delicious itch you want to scratch but you find it under the skin and can't reach it. So the delicious itch becomes unbearable. It told you what you most want is what you most can't have and that the most you can't have is what you already had and lost. It was a song of all the promises I failed to keep. And it told me I don't really want to go home.

The Odyssey - Provisioning for the Journey Home
Eurylochus:
Do we have enough provisions to get home?
Odysseus:
We've taken enough from Troy. A couple of stops on the way home won't kill us.

Tenet - Understanding Security Measures During Lockdown
Neil:
All doors are fireproof. Hydraulic closers, simple key and electronic triggers. Surprisingly easy once there's a lockdown.
The Protagonist:
Why a lockdown?
Neil:
Power switches to fail-safes, sealing the outer doors, but inner doors revert to factory settings...and pickable locks. It's child's play, really.
The Protagonist:
Child's play? They're inside airport security. They have to worry about climate control, not armed raids.
Neil:
So, how do we get enough firepower through the perimeter to trigger the lockdown procedure?...Back wall of the Freeport?...
The Protagonist:
You've got something?
Neil:
Not gonna like it.
The Protagonist: [After Neil explains his plan off camera to The Protagonist]
You wanna crash a plane?
Neil:
Well, not from the air. Don't be so dramatic. I want to run a jet off the taxiway and breach the rear wall and start a fire.
The Protagonist:
Well, how big a plane?
Neil: [Walking up to Mahir sitting on a bench]
Well, that part is a little dramatic. This is Mahir. His team will work the plane.
The Protagonist:
There can't be passengers.
Mahir:
Norsk Freight...They use the hangar on the west side of the Freeport.
The Protagonist:
You want to crash a transport plane? What about the crew?
Mahir:
We pop the slides, chuck em off.
The Protagonist:
On the move?
Mahir:
What's the problem? They'll be fine.
The Protagonist:
It seems bold.
Mahir:
Bold I'm fine with. I thought you were gonna say nuts.
The Protagonist:
And if you get caught?
Mahir:
We won’t.
The Protagonist:
And if you do?
Mahir:
Everyone assumes terrorism, but no one's died so swift extradition then lost in the system. It'll barely make the news.
Neil:
Oh...Depends on the size of the explosion.
Mahir:
Well...Actually, The gold bars might get some play.
The Protagonist:
Gold bars?
Neil:
Norsk Freight ships Treasury gold once a month
Mahir:
Blow the back. Drop it out on the runway.
Neil:
No one will be looking at the building. I can guarantee you.
