"I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me."

"You know there are people, beautiful people, you just wish they could see you in a different setting, a different place. Instead of where you are, what you've become. But most of all, you wish you weren't such a pussy, for wishing for things that'll never change."

"You know when you have a dream and you're half-awake, but still in the fringe of your brain. Then you open your eyes and you're so damned glad it was a dream? [His father's gun falls to the floor] This was NOTHING like that."

"Now I know why I could never care about anything before this. I was living a lie."

"Do you make sweaters, or do you kill people?"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"

"I don't know why I'm here!"

"I don't know who I am!"

"What did he do to deserve to die? You don't know. I didn't know if he was bad. I didn't know if he was evil. I didn't know anything about him. We get orders from a loom — Fate. And we're supposed to take enough faith in what we're doing is right. Killing someone we know nothing about. I don't know if I can do that."

"Have you ever thought about doing things differently?"

"Fate wanted YOU dead. And you couldn't take it."

"Six weeks ago I was ordinary and pathetic just like you. Who am I now? Account manager? Assassin? Just another tool who was mind-fucked into killing his father? I am all of these. I am none of these. Who am I now?"

"This is not me following my destiny. This is not me following in my father's footsteps. This is definitely not me saving the world. ... This is not me. This is just a mother-fucking decoy."

"This is me taking control — from Sloan, from the Fraternity, from Janice, from billing reports, from ergonomic keyboards, from cheating girlfriends and sack-of-shit best-friends. This is me taking back control — of my life. [Breaks the fourth wall, turning to gaze at the audience] What the fuck have you done lately?"

"You apologize too much."

"Your father died yesterday in the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building. He was one of the greatest assassins who ever lived. The man who killed him is behind you."

"You're a wasting my fuckin' time! Why are you here?"

"We don't know how far the ripples of our decisions go. We kill one, and maybe save a thousand. That's the code of the Fraternity. That's what we believe in, and that's why we do it."

"His name came up. … So did yours."

"We trained him well."

"You really want to know who you are?"

"Insanity is wasting your life with a nothing when you have the blood of a killer flowing in your veins. Insanity is being shit on, beat down, coasting through life on a miserable existence when you have a caged lion locked inside and the key to release it."

"It's a choice, Wesley, that each of us must face: to remain ordinary, pathetic, beat-down, coasting through a miserable existence, like sheep herded by fate, or you can take control of your own destiny and join us, releasing the caged wolf you have inside. Our purpose is to maintain stability in an unstable world — kill one, save a thousand. Within the fabric of this world, every life hangs by a thread. We are that thread — a fraternity of assassins, weapons of fate. This is the decision that lies before you now: the sheep, or the wolf. The choice is yours."

"Welcome to the Fraternity."

"We call this the Loom of Fate."

"Now, if any of you feel the need to follow the code of the Fraternity to the letter, I invite you to take your gun, put it in your mouth, and pull the trigger. That is what Wesley demands. Otherwise, shoot this motherfucker, and let us take our Fraternity of assassins to heights reserved only for the gods of men! You choose."

"Everything they told you was a lie. ... You are my son."

"Wanted may be the most absolutely stone bonkers, crazy-good movie of the century. Or it may be a gargantuan piece of trash. Chances are it's a combination of the two. But man, does it rock. ... The level of invention and energy in this movie makes your typical Hollywood blockbuster action flick look like little girls in pink dresses petting fuzzy bunnies in slow motion. ..."Wanted" takes a leap of faith — actually, it takes about 10 leaps — and it certainly isn't for everyone. It's bloody, far-fetched, loud, leering and half-mad. But if you're into hardcore action, it doesn't get any better than this."

"[to himself, in French] Do you know who I am? I do not know who I am. [in Dutch] Tell me who I am. If you know who I am... Please stop messing around... ...and tell me."

"Who is Jason Bourne?"

"Danger is Bourne."

"On June 14, danger is Bourne."

"Bourne to survive"

"He was the perfect weapon until he became the target."

"He never asked to be Bourne."

"Matt Damon is Jason Bourne"

"Ward Abbott: Okay, this is... Blackbriar. Blackbriar is a joint DOD communications program that we really feel has good traction to it. It's got legs. It'll run and run."

"Nicky Parsons: It's Bourne, isn't it?"

"The Professor: Look at this. Look at what they make you give."

"Nykwana Wombosi: They want war? Then we will give them war! If they want to kill me, they better kill me the first time. They better kill me dead."

"Marshall: That's Nykwana Wombosi speaking in Paris the day before yesterday. He was an irritation before he took power, a problem when he was in power, and he's been a disaster for us in exile."

"[to Bourne] Kill Wombosi? Hell, we can do that any time we want. I can send Nicky to do that, for Christ's sake! Mr. Wombosi was supposed to be dead three weeks ago. He was supposed to have died in a way where the only possible explanation was that he'd been murdered by a member of his own entourage! I don't send you to kill! I send you to be invisible. I send you because you don't exist."

"You're U.S. Government property! You're a malfunctioning, 30-million-dollar weapon! You're a total goddamn catastrophe and by God, if it kills me, you're gonna tell me how this happened."

"It only goes two ways. Either you come in and let us make this right... or we'll keep going until we're satisfied."

"You're worried about a budget meeting? We don't take care of this, we don't make it to the men's room. Is that clear enough for you? We will burn for this. We will both of us burn."
