Dead Reasoning

As the Director turns to go, he leaves Hawk with a parting thought.

DIRECTOR: Need I remind you, General, I am meeting with the Board today, and they value my opinions. It would be most embarrassing, if I request that GI Joe be cut from the budget.

STONE: What was the Homeland Security Director doing here?

HAWK: Same thing he always does. Pushing to have GI Joe disbanded. However, this time, he may have some solid ground.

FLINT: If he gets the Joes disbanded, there would be no one to stand between Cobra and the Free World.

HAWK: I think the Director is wanting to unleash his own, private team in our place. In any case, we have bigger problems. The Compound Z creatures are back. Stone, have Colton and Flagg meet me in my office. Flint, I need you to get Snake Eyes here.

FLINT: Snake Eyes? I thought he was retired.

HAWK: For this mission, the retired Commando is exactly what I need.
