Transcript:
Thad: I just don't understand Watt, Dick. What do you suppose makes a man like that tick? Dick: Very simple, Thad, he's a zealot. He really believes he's on a mission from God. It's made him very high-strung and brittle. Ever notice how he laughs at all the wrong times, the way Nixon used to? You have the sense he could break at any moment. Thad: Yeah, but why is he taking it all out against the environment? Dick: Well, I heard that when he was four, he was attacked by a flock of starlings. Thad: Incredible. It's almost like birds have a special sense. Dick: After that, he never really believed where he stood on the food chain.
