I thought he was supposed to be sitting beside you and Jeanie.
General, I thought it best if you and I took this opportunity to talk, so... so I switched places with your colleague over there, I... Like you said, your schedule's very tight.
What'd you say your name was?
Tom Howard, sir.
What do you think this dinner is for, Tom Howard?
General, this dinner is to honor you, sir.
Wrong. This dinner is for Afghanistan.
We are here tonight because we're at war in Afghanistan.
And you got the goddamn gall to kick the only Afghan in the room - off my goddamn table?
- I'm sorry- Let me tell you what I want you to do, Tom Howard.
I want you to go sit your ass down wherever the f*** your ass was officially designated to sit, and I want you to tell Badi to bring his ass back over here!
How's that sound, Tom Howard?
I'm sorry, sir.
Ma'am.
I apologize for my language.
- Everything's okay, honey.
- Uh, boss?
I'm pretty sure the Afghan ambassador here is from Afghanistan.
General.
Sir.
Swell.
I don't want for this dinner to be awkward for you, General, so I will tell you now that we intend to give you our portion of the troops that you request.
