Sometimes in April (2005 TV Movie)

Noah Emmerich: Lionel Quaid

Quotes 

• Prudence Bushnell : [Appalled at the outcome]  Well, I guess that's it.

  Lionel Quaid : Prudence, our mission was not to intervene while the system functioned perfectly. A few years down the road, the President will ask for forgiveness and make the promise of "never again", but in terms of national interest we did everything right.

  Prudence Bushnell : [Exasperated]  We were loyal to a policy that allowed hundreds of thousands of people to be killed! As far as moral imperative, we did not do the right thing.

  Lionel Quaid : We're bureaucrats, not the political leadership.

  Prudence Bushnell : [Hesitates]  Is it because they're Africans?

  Lionel Quaid : Let's not do that, Pru. It was Rwandans killing Rwandans.
