FAHRENHEIT 9/11 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY |
Michael Moore: Even though we were nowhere near the White House for some reason the Secret Service had shown up to ask us what we were doing standing across the street from the Saudi Embassy. Michael Moore: We're not here to cause any trouble. Steve Kimball, Secret Service: Okay. Michael Moore: You know, is that -- Steve Kimball, Secret Service: No, that's fine. We just wanted to get some information as far as what was actually going on. Michael Moore: What's going on, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't realize the Secret Service guards foreign embassies. Steve Kimball, Secret Service: Not usually, no, sir. Michael Moore: No. Do they give you any trouble? The Saudis? Steve Kimball, Secret Service: No comment on that. Michael Moore: Okay, I'll take that as a yes. Steve Kimball, Secret Service: Good. Thank you very much. Michael Moore: It turns out that Saudi Prince Bandar is perhaps the best-protected ambassador in the U.S. The U.S. State Department provides him with a six-man security detail. Considering how he and his family and the Saudi elite own 7 percent of America, it's probably not a bad idea.
