Atlas Shrugged: Missing and Presumed<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Well I\u2019m back from looting the bank.
\nJohn Galt:<\/b> Why do you feel the need to say that?
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Oh general gloating I suppose. Half the fun of stealing from you people is reminding you of it. By the way, what is that ghastly sound coming from upstairs?
\nJohn Galt:<\/b> Oh you might want to go see for yourself\u2026
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> You! And\u2026 Destro!?
\nDestro:<\/b> I haven\u2019t been able to get this fool to leave me alone. But when we were tracking down the remote distress beacon you activated\u2026
\nJohn Galt:<\/b> Hey, no communication allowed!
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> *shoots John Galt in the leg*
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> You purchase goods from the outside world, you bring people in from the outside world, and you go out to visit people in the outside world to tell them about this place. And you have your little stooges run around on top of that giving vague and not quite cryptic hints about this valley of yours to whomever they like. Forgive me if I don\u2019t really buy into this \u2018no communication\u2019 policy of yours. Sorry about that noble Destro, do continue, he\u2019ll quiet up soon.
\nDestro:<\/b> He\u2019s certainly crying less than this sad buffoon. Apparently can\u2019t get over the fact that this woman is still alive.
\nFrancisco:<\/b> DAGNY!
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Idiot! Why didn\u2019t you just tell her about this place when I told you to?
\nDagny Taggart:<\/b> What are you talking about?
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> This love struck moron has been keeping this place a secret from you for ages, I told him to just fess up about it but he apparently would rather spend his time paling around with Destro here.
\nDestro:<\/b> Don\u2019t think I\u2019ve forgotten what you\u2019ve done to me Commander. Don\u2019t think this poltroon let me forget your kind \u2018gift\u2019 for a minute.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Oh you\u2019ll quit your complaining when you see what I\u2019ve looted from this sad excuse for a valley.
\nFrancisco:<\/b> *sniffling* I couldn\u2019t tell Dagny, don\u2019t you see!?
\nDagny Taggart:<\/b> Yes it makes perfect sense to me. So much sense, in fact, that I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessary for us to really have a talk about why an old friend and lover of mine would keep this place a secret from me.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Seriously? You\u2019re just going to let him off the hook like this?
\nDagny Taggart:<\/b> Well he is crying an awful lot\u2026
\nFrancisco:<\/b> I am! See, I have emotions! I am experiencing emotions right now! The most over the top emotion possible! See! I\u2019m identifiable! The woman I love is alive and I\u2019m so happy!
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Why because you can be with her now?
\nFrancisco:<\/b> Oh heavens no.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> What, you just stopped crying!
\nFrancisco:<\/b> Yes well emotions all done with, I\u2019ve got some wonderful technology I\u2019d really like for Dagny to get a look at when she gets the chance.
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> *shoots Francisco in the leg*
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> There, are we even Destro?
\nDestro:<\/b> Well he is crying again but it doesn\u2019t feel as aggravating this time.
\nDagny Taggart:<\/b> Why would you shoot a sweet, innocent man like that?
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> For years. Years. This man kept you in the dark about this place despite you well knowing one another. They invited countless people to come here and he freely admits that he considered you would be perfectly fit in here and yet he never once invited you to this one place where you feel truly happy, and you don\u2019t resent him even in the slightest for that?
\nDagny Taggart:<\/b> Obviously not, since his reasons make so much sense to me.
\nDestro:<\/b> What reason could she possibly be talking about? He didn\u2019t give any reasons at all!
\nCobra Commander:<\/b> Come along Destro, I have a lot to explain to you about how this place works\u2026 and I\u2019ve got a little tractor I think you might like to see.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
