A Shift in Alliances and Perspectives
Nicolae Carpathia:
Gerald. How'd you get in here?
President Fitzguh:
I came in the front door.
Nicolae Carpathia:
You seem to have changed. I told you I see things. Not having a very good day, are you, Mr. President?
President Fitzguh: [[w:Jesus Christ|your real enemy]
Well, actually, I'm having a great day. I resigned from the militia...and I joined ]. Do you remember Carolyn Miller?
Nicolae Carpathia:
A lovely little thing, wasn't she?
President Fitzguh:
But she seemed to think that the only way to defeat you was with weapons, with the militia, when the answer was right there in front of us: Jesus Christ. The only way to beat you in this life, or the next, is to accept him.
Nicolae Carpathia: [Infuriated]

Who do you work for?
Buck Williams:
My guess is you already know that.
President Fitzguh:
Indulge me.
Buck Williams:
Global Community Weekly.
President Fitzguh:
Who do you answer to?
Buck Williams:
Nicolae Carpathia.
President Fitzguh:
That's a Bible. Your Bible, Mr. Williams. You know how the GC frowns on hate literature?
Buck Williams:
I've been doing research.
President Fitzguh:
I'm sure you have.
President Fitzguh:
You got two options: option number one, you give me all the right answers to my questions, I'll think about not putting a bullet into your head. Option two-
Buck Williams:
Option one is fine.
President Fitzguh:
Are you one of them? Christians?
Buck Williams:
...I haven't done anything-
President Fitzguh:
I will decide that myself! Now, do you renounce the name of Jesus Christ? Yes, or no?
Buck Williams: [Pause]

President Fitzguh:
Somehow, I don't think Nicolae would've been very thrilled with that answer.
