Hello! I'm Tommy.

Tommy Beresford! And may I inquire as to your name, sir?
Beresford? What kind of name is that?
Krycek. Alex Krycek.
Krycek. Alex Krycek.
I suppose it would be my kind of name!
Krycek. That's not Russian, is it?
Krycek. That's not Russian, is it?
Not predominantly, no. What's it matter?
Curiosity, really. I'm afraid my experience with Russians has been that they rather enjoy kidnapping me.
Really? Why? You got something they want?
Was it the government? Or just a couple of guys who happened to speak Russian?
You know, they neglected to mention. You'd be surprised how many kidnappers fail to inform the kidnappee of their identities!
Why were you kidnapped then? Any clue?
Perhaps they simply desired the company of my charming wit and dashing looks.
Yeah, I'm sure it's that exactly.
Any particular reason why you might be so interested in my story, Mr. Krycek?
Why don't you tell me about yourself, then? Where are you from?
The good ol' U-S-of-A. And proud of it, I might add.
You from America too?
You from America too?
The colonies? No, certainly not. I'm British!
Did you seriously just refer to it as "the colonies"?
That's great. What rock have you been living under?
That's great. What rock have you been living under?
Well, they're no longer colonies, technically speaking. But the sun never sets on the British empire and all that.
That's not to say you all weren't a great help during the War, of course. You chaps really stepped up there, I must say. Eventually.

Gulf? No no, the War. The Great War! Now I've got to ask if you've had your head buried in the sand for the past several years, old chap.
"The War"? The only war of any magnitude I can think of hasn't occurred yet. What war are you talking about?
Hasn't happened yet? What are you talking about?
If you truly require a history lesson: Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, resulting in global conflict and the defeat of Germany, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, and Austria-Hungary. The War To End All Wars. Surely you've heard of it - your country was heavily involved towards the end there.

...you mean the first World War? You're talking about World War I?
