Capítulo 3 de 13 · 1'34"
Two rival ex-presidents bicker over drinks while kids run around, trading insults until a colonel arrives. He says President Haney wants them at once, and the car is already on its way to Camp David. "We know where you are at all times," he answers when asked how he found them.
I Enjoy Dead Men's Company
The NSA Finds Them
Kramer and Douglas are hiding out in a family living room, bickering about drinks and old scandals. Colonel Tanner walks in with orders from President Haney: they must meet him as quickly as possible, with transport to Camp David already arranged. Asked how he found them, he says the NSA knows where they are at all times.
The scene wastes no time pretending these two are friends. Their argument runs on old slights and one-upsmanship — one boasts he would kill for a drink while the other swears he never touches alcohol — and it ends only when the state walks in the door. The arrival is the cold centre of the scene: "We know where you are at all times, sir" is delivered without blinking, followed by a flat "That's our business." It is the moment the personal comedy collides with the machinery of power, and both ex-presidents go from bickering to being collected.

“Well, now you know. I enjoy spending time with dead men.”
Instead of denying the accusation, he claims it as a hobby and seizes the room.

“We know where you are at all times, sir.”
The politeness of sir makes the surveillance sound colder, not kinder.
Formal
“and I don't have the slightest clue what the hell Olympia is.”
Two intensifiers make total ignorance sound like a complaint you can reuse anywhere.
Informal
“You don't believe me? Go ahead and die.”
A dare that answers an accusation with ice-cold confidence.

He says the NSA knows where they are at all times. When they press him on how, he answers simply, "That's our business."
They have been thrown together by the unfolding scandal over Charlie's death, and they spend the scene bickering about it and about each other.
It means to leave quickly — essentially "scram" or "run along." It is used here playfully, when an adult sends a child off to hide.
It is never explained in the scene. One man insists he has no idea what Olympia is, calling it simply "what the hell Olympia," which only deepens the mystery.
