Wasn't Bruce Willis my contact at the CIA until now?

But upon leaving the hospital, Barney comes face to face with the CIA's chief of operations: Max Drummer. Barney is quite surprised.

"But wait!
– Yes, but it was too expensive. Hello, I'm Harrison Ford, and I was on sale. You may have seen me in Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Witness. 
- Okay, what do you want, sir...
– Max Drummer. I insist. Here's my problem: I sent you to kill Victor Minsk.
– It wasn't Victor Minsk, it was Conrad Stonebanks! My old partner and sworn enemy, whom I thought I killed long ago!
– Oh yeah? Hahaha, hohoho… what a shame we forgot to give you a picture of the subject or phone number list to tell you that it was your former associate! That's really too silly. Anyway: you messed up, so I came to give you the evil eye. 
– Oh no! Not the big eyes!
– Grouuuu!
– No, stop Drummer!
– All right. But you should know that Minsk, Stonebanks, or whatever you call him, is a big rascal who tortured and killed my best men. I want him dead. So you wait until we find him, and you clean up the mess you made in Somalia, okay?
– Okay. But you're not giving me the evil eye anymore, are you?
– No. Come on, go, Barney! You have your work cut out for you.

And there is indeed bread on the burger board, because for his part, Stonebanks lives happily. He's an arms dealer who sells weapons to bad countries, and is therefore very rich and loves art. Because like in any good blockbuster, the poor are nice and have simple pleasures, while the rich are all assholes who like bourgeois stuff.

These prejudices, I swear to you.

Wait, I'll have another glass of some excellent 110-year-old spirit and I'll be right back.

So, what was I saying? Oh yeah: it's crazy how good taste is inevitably associated with jerk characters. These writers are not making any effort.

While the good guys drink bad beer from the bottle, wear stupid hats, and wear ugly shirts at karaoke parties. It's selling me a dream.
Barney, in any case, has taken a hit to his morale: since Caesar was injured (and at the same time, if I could find the gang of idiots who stayed under the helicopter waiting for bullets), he no longer wants to see other Expandables die. So he gathers the whole little gang and explains to them that it's over. They can retire. Because they are relics of the past and he doesn't want to see other comrades get beaten up like crap. Obviously, everyone weighs their balls while explaining that they will never give up this beautiful job that is mercenary, and that Barney can't do that, but yes.
