Sloane's actual dialogue is hilarious. "As I'm sure you're aware, the people of Los Angeles face a myriad of potential disasters. No, we're not just talking about terrorism. In case you haven't noticed, we're due for another earthquake. Plus, because of the recent forest fire, we're susceptible to mudslide. Not to mention the fact that there seems to be a riot breaking out every time the Lakers win." Hee. Sloane finishes his tirade and Vaughn looks up at him, nodding confirmation that the blueprints have been captured. "Just make sure you get it done," says Sloane, slamming the phone closed. Security Guy enters the room and finds Jack finishing up his work. "Nothin' to it! You should be back online," declares Jack, zipping up his tools. Okay, that's totally pornographic. Sorry. Jack hands the tools to Security Guy and they head out to the desk.
The monitors come back to life. As Jack starts to head out, he hears FEMA Dude tell Security Guy to call Blackman and inform him that they're back online. Jack looks panicked and starts moving faster. Security Guy gets on the horn and asks for Director Blackman. Jack nears the door and hears Security Guy go, "Out of the country? I just spoke with him. He said he was in Washington." FEMA Dude gets wise and shouts at Jack, "HEY!" Well, that's an effective way to make someone stop. Outside, the Hot 'n' Handsome van screeches up and Jack starts running toward it. FEMA Dude and Security Guy bust out of the doors just as Sloane opens the van door and steps out, beckoning Jack to run for it. Jack does. Security Guy pulls a gun and demands that Jack get his hands in the air. Jack dives into the van just as Security Guy takes a shot. Sloane suddenly jumps in front of Jack's retreating back and takes the bullet. D'oh! Hope he's got some extra Rambaldi Life Juice in a canteen somewhere.
Commercials. Okay, the new Pepsi commercials are totally cute. "Hot dogs love Pepsi." Hee. And I hate to say it, but I totally want to see The Last Samurai. Not because of Tom Cruise, but in spite of him. The stunts look amazing and Cruise did 99 percent of them, so that's pretty cool. Besides, I just love all that Japanese culture shit. Especially samurais. I don't like my friend Sandman's Japanese girlfriend, but that's because she's eighteen pounds of crazy in a two-pound bag, not because she's from the Land of the Rising Sun. Oh, and Trista and Ryan are really fucking annoying, and I give them a year before he dumps her sorry pink-loving ASS.
