Mission: Impossible III Quotes

Ethan Tomorrow is perhaps the only time we'll be able to predict where Davian will be: at Vatican City. Our mission, is to get in there, and kidnap Davian.

Luther I don't know why he's so happy. I did remind him that the Vatican is the Vatican. A 109 acres Sovereign State in the middle of Rome, surrounded by a sixty foot wall, which is monitored 24/7, with over 200 CCTV cameras!

Ethan That's not even what makes it a challenge.

Luther Listen, man, I didn't mean to be so cavalier the other day about you getting engaged.

Ethan I know that. Thanks.

Luther But a normal relationship isn't viable for people like us.

Ethan I don't agree with that.

Luther Then I'm smarter than you.

Owen Davian 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.

Owen Davian 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.

John Musgrave It's complicated.

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

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

Declan Gormley Please, when do I not copy? All I do is copy.

Zhen All I do is copy.

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.

Benji Dunn 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.

Benji Dunn 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.

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

Luther So Raider One, at some point, we got to go over this whole "getting married" thing.

Ethan Negative, Observer, I don't respect you nearly enough to have that conversation.

Luther Well you may not respect me, but for now you got my voice stuck in your head.

Luther What the hell is Davian doing at the Vatican?

Benji Uh, it's all got to do with "the Rabbit's Foot".

Ethan Rabbit's Foot?

Benji Yeah, well, I'm assuming it's like code-word for something he's going to sell to an unspecified buyer for 850 million dollars, by the way. Or maybe it's not a code-word, maybe it's just a really, really expensive bunny appendage.

Ethan You have no idea what it is?

Benji It's interesting - I used to have this professor at Oxford, okay? Doctor Wickham, his name was and he was, like, this massive fat guy, you know? Huge, big guy. We used to call him - you know, well, I won't tell you what we used to call him. He taught biomolecular kinetics and cellular dynamics. And he used to sort of scare the underclassmen with this story about how the world would eventually be eviscerated by technology. You see, it was inevitable that a-a-a compound would be created which he referred to as the Anti-God'. It was like an accelerated mutator or sort of, you know, like a, a, an unstoppable force of destructive power, that would just lay waste to everything - to buildings and parks and streets and children and ice cream parlors, you know? So whenever I see, like, a rogue organization willing to spend this amount of money on a mystery tech, I always assume... it's the Anti-God. End-of-the-world kinda stuff, you know? But no, I don't have any idea what it is. I was just speculating.

Declan Now we've pissed off every Italian in Rome, go do what you gotta do.

Ethan Don't forget to smoke.

Declan Delta, do you copy?

Zhen All I do is copy.

Declan That's funny. Get ready to move into position.

Zhen I'm already there.

Luther Listen, man, I don't mean to cross the line, but... was there something going on between you two? You and Lindsey?

Ethan Lindsey was like my little sister.

Luther And you never... slept with your little sister, right?

Ethan Hey brother, if I don't ask you, who will?

Declan Gormley Guys, a Batman is hot!

Declan Alright that was lucky, we only get one of these.

John Musgrave 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.

Luther I'm not proud of it, I'm not happy about it, but I've lived with women a few times, and it doesn't ever make it for two years. You can't

Ethan Thanks for your advice, but it's different for me than it is for you; I'm not in the field anymore.

Luther Oh, okay, here's your retirement present. Now, our job is always gonna be something between you and a woman. Always.

Ethan Luther, listen to me.

Luther Dishonesty. A dishonesty that poisons everything.

Ethan I think I need to tell you something.

Luther Stop talking. This isn't about you, Ethan. And whoever this girl is, you're going to end up messing her life too. Don't do it.

Ethan Jules and I got married two days ago.

Luther Congratulations.

Ethan Thanks. Thanks.

Lindsey I'm out, how many rounds have you got?

Ethan Enough.

Ethan Now I'm out.

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

Luther Stickell Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. "]" 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?

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

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

Owen Davian 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.

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

Luther Stickell (after Ethan successfully landed on the building) He made it...he made it! I knew he'd make it.

Ethan Hunt Throw the switch on and off. Don't forget the off.

Ethan Hunt Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Brassel I read your brief on Agent Farris. The words you used were "beyond capable". That still stand, Mr. Hunt?

Ethan Mr. Brassel--

Brassel Does it stand?

Ethan Yes, sir, it does.

Brassel Cause we've got a corpse downstairs that says otherwise. Killed by a detonator implanted in her skull through the nasal cavity.

Ethan Mr. Brassel, it's unacceptable to judge Agent Farris's competence based on--

Brassel It's unacceptable that chocolate makes you fat, but I've eaten my share and guess what? Now, I approved Agent Farris surveillance op based on your evaulations, Mr. Hunt, of a woman who allowed herself to be captured. So you go to recover her, you encounter a dozen men, you don't grab any of them?

Ethan Our objective, Mr. Brassel, was to recover Agent Farris. Davian employs a cellular structure at his organization; the men there more than likely had no information.

Brassel Who's drawing these conclusions? Is it you?

Musgrave I am, sir, based upon the--

Brassel I'm not on you yet! You allowed Farris to board your chopper without a scan; that explosive device could have taken you all out! There is one reason that you are sitting here before me today, and that is luck! Because your operation was poorly conceived, and executed worse!

Musgrave Two laptops were recovered, I may--

Brassel I'm aware of that. We've talked to Tech-Services. They doubt if they can reconstitute the drives. "Crispy", I believe is what they called them. Worthless.

Musgrave Mr. Brassel, as the Operation Manager of this office, I have the authority--

Brassel Excuse me, did you just throw a title at me, Mr. Musgrave? I don't care if your daddy plays golf with the President. This is Intelligence. So far I haven't seen any. You think this op was worth the risk, Mr. Hunt? What do you know about Owen Davian? He was the one who brought Gas Centrifuge technology to Korea, from Pakistan; he was also the man who sold Toxin Five, to the Armahad Republic Jihad. He's a man who provides, provides, provides. And he remains invisible, he's a goddamn invisible man. ], not ], in case you want to be cute again. We can't find him. He knows it. It's emboldened him. I've been trying to bring Davian down since the day that I got here. Do you know what I got for it?

Musgrave It has never been confirmed that the Toxin Five theft was Davian--

Brassel Mr. Musgrave, please don't interrupt me when I'm asking rhetorical questions. Your operation has achieved one thing: you have reminded Davian that he is winning. And now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and inform Mr. and Mrs. Farris that their baby girl was killed in a head-on collision on ].

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

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

Ethan Hunt 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.

Musgrave Thanks for coming, can't decide what size ] to get.

Ethan I usually go for the 900-ouncer. (Musgrave sniggers)

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