Quotes 

• Al : You're not a prisoner of war.

  Oswald : All members of the proletariat are prisoners in the class struggle.

  Al : I thought you were a member of the Marine Corps.

  Oswald : My status as a marine does not alter my membership in the exploited and oppressed class into which I was born.

  Al : I was joking.

  Oswald : I was not!

  Al : Take it easy, kid. I'm on your side.

  Oswald : Then I'm free to leave?

  Al : Uh, no. Not exactly.

  Oswald : Then I'm a prisoner.

  Al : Okay, all right. You're a prisoner of the proletariat and...

  Al : [coldly]  After six years in the Hanoi Hilton, I tend to repress it.

  Oswald : Where?

  Al : That's where I was held as a prisoner of war, and where they didn't give a damn about the Geneva Convention.

• Oswald : Hidell, Alex James. Private, first class. Serial number: 1522597.

  Al : Hidell? You're saying your name is Hidell?

  Oswald : What are you, hard of hearing?

  [Al consults his handlink] 

  Oswald : What's that?

  Al : Uh, it's a tape recorder. New model.

  Oswald : You won't need it. I've already told you everything I'm obliged to tell you under the rules of the Geneva Convention.

  Al : Well, you're obliged to tell the truth. 1653230, that's your real serial number, isn't it, Private Oswald?

  Oswald : [pause]  That's no tape recorder.

  Al : So we both lied.
