16* Jack Ryan being chewed out by the Russian President about getting a report wrong regarding how many girlfriends he had in college. The President stating that he had met his wife in his third year of college and hasn't looked upon another woman since. He is speaking this through the president's translator. Jack retorts by claiming the report was regarding the Russian President's personal life in college for the first two years, and speaks in Russian to the president about how he received the highest marks in English during that time, meaning the Russian President is fluent in speaking and understanding English and has always understood what Ryan and Cabot were saying without the necessity of the translator!
17-->'''President Nemerov:''' I like him.
18* Almost every moment Clark is on scene, whether he's just standing around taking orders, getting into a standoff with Russian soldiers, questioning a man with important information, or killing a CompleteMonster arms dealer during the climactic RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
19* Jack and GiantMook Haft fighting each other with chains, a wrench, and anything else in reach (plus their bare hands) at the warehouse where Haft killed the Nazis' smuggler contact.
