Jeff: So that's Havoc's message, Mr. Karzai. He's been ordered to discontinue the payments. He sends his regrets. Karzai: So aptly named, your boss. Havoc follows the CIA everywhere. And what do I call you, young man. Jeff: Damn - never picked a code name! Think! Karzai: You do have a name, do you not? Jeff: "Jeff"! Karzai: Jeff. And this name commands respect in America?

He could have easily and simply changed it to Jefe’ and commanded a little respect. But then Mr. Karzai would have had to know a little “Espanol”.

“Chum” – it’s a great word, can mean an old friend (Batman called his sidekick Robin “Chum” on the old tv show) or bait for sharks.

GEE1A, I’d LIKE to tell you people like that don’t work for the government, but this is the same “intelligence” service that said it was a “slam dunk” to prove Saddam Hussein was on the verge of having nukes…

It’s all in how you say it. If he’d gone, “Some call me….Jeff” with just the right tone of voice there’d be respect galore.
Maybe Jeff should have pointed out his beard. That always impresses the Taliban.

They didnt say they’d be accurate. Proved it well enough to convince the American Congress and British Parliament to follow George and Gordon to Baghdad. Too bad proof can be so easily manufactured.

Dypak – you’re a Monty Python fan, right? It’s gonna take some magic from Tim the Enchanter to get Jeff the Operative outta this in one piece. Or does this story arc somehow come full circle and he gets saved by the girl?
