When Martin asks what was said that had made the colonel so angry, Nick replies: "Nothing -- I just told him that I put his name on the _______________________ mailing list." What belongs in the blank?
14. When Nick and Martin arrive in East Germany, we're shown one of those overhead "graphic depiction" animation sequences that get used quite a bit in spy films (and the Indiana Jones films, come to think of it).
