Woman: The really unusual thing, Mr. Redfern, was that those of us who accessed Quayle's file were disciplined. Some operators were suspended, and the rest were threatened with criminal charges if we said anything. Rick: But shouldn't you have expected that? Woman: Not at all. We'd been accessing celebrity files for years. It was one of our perks. It had always been winked at before. Rick: Yes, but Quayle was different. One more Quayle bombshell could have lost the election. They were desperate! They had to suppress the file at any cost! But who were "they"? How high up did it go? That's it! That's the story! The cover-up! Woman: Well, I thought so. Should I just pitch the file?
