Watch What You Say

The scene is from The Lives of Others (2006), a film set in the East Germany of the 1980s.  It takes place in the cafeteria of the Stasi, the security police of the communist state.  The young man sitting down at the table is a Stasi trainee.  The two older men at the table next to him are senior Stasi officials.

There are increasing swathes of American life where this same scene is being played out.
