"But you had guns in the street, and the military taking over everything, shooting people... You have the former leader and his cohorts in detention, for crying out loud. How in fuck's sake is this not a goddam coup d'etat? Are you serious? Are you shitting me?"

"This is not a coup, because we say it is not a coup, and because if there is a coup, and the military is in charge, the United States will not provide our financial aid. That's why it is not a coup. So you understand now? Stop saying coup or I will hit you."
