"Benji Dunn: [talking while working on computer] Maybe we can share, uh, a jail cell together, you know? If this goes tits-up, which it will. The location of that number is Shanghai. There, I just told you. Shanghai. I've just aided and abetted an enemy of the state. Fantastic. Thank you."

"The Mission Begins 05:05:06."

"[to Ethan, on phone] You hung me outside of an airplane. You can always tell someone's character by the way they treat those they don't need to treat well."

"What I'm selling... and who I'm selling it to... is the last thing you should be concerned about... Ethan."

"You don't have any idea what the hell's going on, do you? I mean, you saw what I did to your little blonde friend at the factory, right? Well... Well, that was nothing. That was... fun. That was fun."

"Oh no, it's fine. I always spill red wine on my white custom-made shirt."

"(first lines) We put an explosive charge in your head. Does that sound familiar?"

"It's complicated."

"(In video) This message, let's call it my excellent engagement gift to you, will self-destruct in five seconds."

"I know we've joked about it, but I'm always this close on begging you to stop training our people and get your ass back in the field."

"(after Ethan successfully landed on the building) He made it...he made it! [quietly] I knew he'd make it."

"Wait, wait, Ethan, I'm not saying I have a better idea, but there's a point where bold becomes stupid."

"The look in your eye is a pain in my ass, you know that right?"

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. "Those who can't do, teach" back in the field. Hey, Ethan -- don't worry. We're gonna get the girl. Or have you been away for so long you've forgotten how good we are?"

"[about to get electrocuted] Throw the switch on and off. [slight pause] Don't forget the off."

"I've got a charge in my head, I'm going to die unless you kill me."

"[before jumping down from the wall of Vatican City] Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall."

"[to Luther] In Germany, you asked me what it is I see in Julia. What I see in Julia is life before all this. And it's good."

"Benji Dunn: [panicked] I just looked it up. Okay, you're on Interpol's most wanted list. And that, by the way, is a spectacular list to be on."

"Brassel: Now I am... not a stranger to disrespect; you don't get to where I am without developing a thick skin. But what I won't stand for -- what I will lose my sleep over, and I love my sleep -- is the idea of an irresponsible, rogue agent working in my office. So... I'm going to slow things way down here. You can look at me with those judgemental, incriminating eyes all you want, but I bullshit you not, I will bleed on the flag to make sure the stripes stay red."

"Zhen: [Mocking Declan] All I do is copy."

"Declan Gormley: [Response to Luther] Please, when do I not copy? All I do is copy."

"Julia Mead: Tell me it's real. I mean us. Tell me it's real."

"Lindsey Farris (dying line) Ethan! Thank you... I-"

"Julia Mead: That's how it is with Rick! He's fine, he's fine and suddenly he's naked and hugging everyone."

"Didn't I tell you she'd call out your name? And I told you I was gonna kill you in front of her? Well, I'm gonna kill her in front of you."

"You only had five seconds left, do you realize that?"

"Pop quiz, asshole. You have a hair trigger aimed at your head. What do you do? What do you do? Turn around. TURN AROUND!"

"[hearing Jack on the subway car roof] Hey, Jack! Is that you? He's so persistent, he always gets his man. Wouldn't be able to interest you in a bribe, would I? I've got, uh, plenty to go around! [he opens the money bag, only for a rigged purple dye pack to burst in his face, ruining the money] My money! YOU BASTARD! [shooting at Jack through the train roof] HOW DOES THAT FEEL?! YOU LIKE THAT, HUH?! YOU LIKE IT, YOU BASTARD?! MY MONEY! [he runs out of bullets] Shit! You! I'm coming for you, Jack! [runs for the subway door, screaming in rage]"
