Snippets from the Episode

"When we say stealth, it just means we're working on behalf of a client, an ENP, and they don't want the world to know that it's them. So you do that for a number of different reasons." -Brent Broussard
"You've never seen a more curious bunch of people than landmen working on a stealth job. They would try to trick everybody involved. You're chuckling at your landman and landowners trying to figure out who it is and speculating who it is." -Brent Broussard
"You don't even tell your family where you're at. You're just there and you need to stay there and work. But the key is really having that abstract plant, and finding an out-of-the-way place. It was highly successful in a time that people weren't looking in that direction, so it was easy to stay stealth." -Brandon Ward
"If you're gonna do a stealth project, it's probably best to use somebody like Dudley as opposed to kind of a one-off shop that's just done your work for 20 years. You better go somewhere else if you're gonna do a stealth project." -Brandon Ward
