Share this quote on facebook Lester Siegel: Okay, you got six people hiding out in a town of what, four million people, all of whom chant "death to America" all the livelong day. You want to set up a movie in a week. You want to lie to Hollywood, a town where everybody lies for a living. Then you're gonna sneak 007 over here into a country that wants CIA blood on their breakfast cereal, and you're gonna walk the Brady Bunch out of the most watched city in the world.
Tony Mendez: Past about a hundred militia at the airport. That's right.
Siegel: Right. Look, I gotta tell you. We did suicide missions in the army that had better odds than this.

Reporter: Then what does "Argo" mean?
Siegel: It means, Argo fuck yourself.
