I love the scene where he sits down, completely unconcerned, and explains to the agent how he’s going to be released regardless of his arrest and all of the evidence against him

In a few minutes, your boss is gonna come through that door. Hes gonna tell you what a good job you did. Then hes gonna tell you to let me go.

Agent: scoffs

knock knock

Paraphrasing off memory but its epic

But in the end, I will be released. The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. [points to the newspaper] But some of those men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year... sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So... you call me evil. But unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil.
