信条Tenet Movie Script

PROTAGONIST:

Is this how you treat all your guests?

SATOR:

The ones using my family to get to me.

PROTAGONIST:

How else is someone supposed to get to you?

SATOR:

Only a fool wants to be near me.

PROTAGONIST:

KAT:

The school won’t be okay with –

Sator looks at her.

SATOR:

You seem spirited today.

Do I?

KAT:

(defiant) Sator barely nods at the servant, who pulls off the lid...
