"Mitchell Hundred: My dream was to make a difference in people’s lives. Kremlin: And you did. Now you are just another cog. Mitchell Hundred: I’ve done more good in one hour at city hall than The Great Machine did in a month. Kremlin: You’re mad! How many more lives would have been lost if you had no put this on one last time that day in September? You were a hero! Mitchell Hundred: No, I was a failure. If I were a real hero… I would have been there in time to stop the first plane."
