Why does Folger give Muir a confused look in this scene at the end of Spy Game?
It's the last 5 minutes of the movie. See clip @approx 0:08.
Someone in the room: "Are we done here?"
Harker: "Non-disclosure agreement."
Muir quickly signs the NDA.
Folger: "Aren't you gonna read it?"
Muir: "Read it a thousand times."
--> Folger makes eye contact with Muir and looks confused.
Harker: "Aiken... will you escort Mr. Muir from the building?"
Why does Folger look at him that way? It's as if Folger was thinking that someone like Muir would always read the fine print. That doesn't make any sense to me because Muir really would have seen thousands of these after that long in the CIA and I'm sure they are all mostly boilerplate.

I have no research for this, but maybe Folger is considering that Muir has not been disclosing things to them - having signed a thousand NDAs, he is a man who keeps secrets. Moments later they discover his deception.

At the end of Spy Game, Nathan Muir is seen driving away from CIA headquarters; my impression of the scene is that he's in a hurry. He peels away from the gate, and the next shot of him is driving his Porsche along an open country road -- it seems to be implied that he's going fast.What did dinner out mean in spy game?

Answer 2
There may be something to Folger's and Muir's history -- maybe Muir's always read the NDA's and this is a departure.
But regardless of that, here's my theory: Non-disclosure agreements often bind both parties. Muir can't talk without violating the agreement, but neither can the CIA. And if they do break the agreement, all bets are off. So if that's the case, Muir may realize that he's actually protecting himself and his fake op by signing the agreement.
