VICE PRESIDENT MENDEZ: Are you sure you want to do this? The optics are going to be terrible.
PRESIDENT WALLER: With all due respect, Mister Mendez, screw the optics. Manhattan's in a crisis state and this is the one club I've got left in my bag.
Hell if I'm not going to take a swing.
ANDREW ELLIS: Agreed. Hopefully this will only be needed for a short time, and we can deal with the fallout once the crisis has passed.
VICE PRESIDENT MENDEZ: And if it's not over quickly? What do we do then?
PRESIDENT WALLER: Then you'd better learn some useful skills, because if this thing drags on, the damn optics will be the least of our worries.
