"Kitteridge: Right now, the President of the United States is preparing to vaporize millions upon millions of souls, all because Ethan here doesn't believe that anyone can safely control the Entity. Does that sound sane? To anyone?"

"You've always been on the right side, brother. Always. Never forget, our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices. I have no regrets. Neither should you."

"Stealing the Rabbit's Foot was just one event in a lifelong pattern, repeating itself over and over: For every life he's tried to save, he's gambled millions more, doubling down and down again. And now the fate of every living soul on Earth is his responsibility. [to Ethan] You must be exhausted."

"[last words] Only one of us has a parachute! Good luck!"

"[posthumous message] Hello, brother. If you're listening to this, the world is still here and so are you. For the record, I never had a moment of doubt. I knew you'd find a way. You always do. I hope, in time, you can see this life is not some quirk of fate. This was your calling. Your destiny. A destiny that touches every living thing. Like it or not, we are masters of our fate. Nothing is written. And our cause, however righteous, pales in comparison to the impact of our effect. Any hope for a better future comes from willing that future into being. A future reflecting the measure of good within ourselves.And all that is good inside us is measured by the good we do for others. We all share the same fate — the same future. The sum of our infinite choices. One such future is built on kindness, trust, and mutual understanding, should we choose to accept it. Driving without question towards a light we cannot see. Not just for those we hold close, but for those we'll never meet. I hope you know I'll always love you, brother. And I will see you again, though I hope it's not too soon. The world still needs you. Of course, they'll never know it, but we do. We, who live and die in the shadows. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan."

"It's always good to see you on the right side of the grass."

"[last words] Gabriel, you son of a bitch... No one is safe from Phineas Phreak."

"President Sloane: Good evening, Ethan. This is your President. Since you won't reply to anyone else, I thought I'd reach out directly. First, I want to thank you for a lifetime of devoted and unrelenting service; were it not for the tireless dedication of you and your team, the Earth would be a very different place. It might not even be here at all. Every risk you've taken, every comrade you've lost in the field, every personal sacrifice you made, has brought this world another sunrise. It's been 35 years since circumstances brought you to us and you were given the choice -- since the IMF saved you from a life in prison. And though you never followed orders, you never let us down. You were always the best of men in the worst of times. I need you to be that man now."

"The Entity: The choice is yours: The Entity's future, or no future at all."

"Grace: Mr. Donloe, Bill, even if we could tell you the truth, you wouldn't believe it. I wouldn't. The heart of the matter is that we need access to all your SOSUS data from late-winter 2012, otherwise the world will cease to exist in a few days."

"Bledsoe: Mister. If you wanna poke the bear... Oh, you've come to the right man."

"Holt McCallany as Serling Bernstein"

"Janet McTeer as Walters"

"Hannah Waddingham as Rear Admiral Neely"

"Our lives are the sum of our choices."
