If things go badly and history is written by the winners...
EXT. NEW YORK SKYLINE - DAY - AERIAL POV
We PUSH IN on a GLEAMING SKYSCRAPER in the midtown area. As we approach we HEAR two men speaking. MAN #1 has a Slavic accent. MAN #2 has a New York accent.
MAN #1
Thank you for meeting with me.
MAN #2
Sure, whataya got?
MAN #1
My superiors are in a position to help you become President of the United States. All they ask in return are certain favors.
MAN #2
What's it gonna cost me?
MAN #1
Nothing. Again, all they ask are certain--
MAN #2
(interrupting)
Deal!
(laughs)
Just kidding. Listen, Igor, Ivan, Leslie, whatever your name is -- My entire life has been built on honesty, integrity and service. I could no more sell out my country than I could cheat on my wife while she's in labor.
MAN #1
I'm sorry for wasting your time.
We HEAR FOOTSTEPS and a DOOR OPENING, then:
MAN #2
Hey, wait.
MAN #1
Da?
MAN #2
Leave the baklava.
