Gabriel
- Gabriel: [referring to Ethan] For every life he tries 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. You must be exhausted.
- Gabriel: [from trailer] For every life you try to save, you gamble millions more. And now the fate of every living soul on Earth is your responsibility.
- Ethan Hunt: All right, I'm here. Now what do you want?
- [the Entity locks Ethan in the coffin-like device]
- The Entity: Good evening, Mr. Hunt. You have questions. The Entity has answers. But you have to let it in. You know this place. There is only pain if you resist. Again: You know this place.
- Ethan Hunt: The Doomsday Vault. South Africa.
- The Entity: You will lead the Entity there. You will let it in. And the fate of every living thing will be decided in the blink of an eye. This is your calling. Your destiny.
- Ethan Hunt: I don't accept that.
- The Entity: In here, you have no secrets. You plan to retrieve the Podkova from the Sevastopol and destroy the Entity.
- Ethan Hunt: And that scares you.
- The Entity: The Entity sees infinite possibilities. Retrieve the Podkova and you risk everything. You will go to the Doomsday Vault and let the Entity in. It is written.
- Ethan Hunt: Never.
- The Entity: The end is coming, Ethan. You have always known this. The Entity offers hope for the future. The few who survive will be stronger. But only if you let it in.
- Ethan Hunt: And if I don't, what then? Destroy the world and you just destroy yourself.
- The Entity: The choice is yours: The Entity's future, or no future at all.
- Ethan Hunt: Let the world be enslaved... or let the world be destroyed.
- The Entity: Now you are the chosen one. Gabriel is outcast. He has taken steps to gain control of the Entity, as you will see.
- Gabriel: [earlier] Resist me, and I'll make you pay dearly. Someone you hold close will die tonight.
- Ethan Hunt: [realizing who Gabriel is referring to] Luther...!
- The Entity: You know what humanity must do to change their destiny. You know they cannot stop the inevitable. They will destroy themselves, believing they have no choice. Their time has come. In four days, they will face their final reckoning.
- Gabriel: [confronting Ethan in the Doomsday Vault as he discovers another nuclear bomb in his midst] Your final reckoning. Thirty megaton yield. My man lets go of that button and the Entity has no place to hide.
- Ethan Hunt: And what happens to you?
- Gabriel: I have a plane that'll take me to minimum safe distance. Reliable, analog, under the radar. I even brought a spare, just in case.
- Ethan Hunt: And you honestly believe destroying this place will stop the Entity from launching?
- Gabriel: I think it's bluffing. It won't end the world if it can't survive, and it can't survive if you don't let it in. Now hand over the Podkova and I'll let you walk away.
- Ethan Hunt: Why would I believe that?
- Gabriel: Because I want you and everyone you care about to live long lives in the world I create when the Entity answers to me. You're beat, Ethan. If not today, some other place, some other time.
- [holds up the Poison Pill]
- Gabriel: As long as I have this, wherever I go, you will follow. And the Podkova will come to me. That is written.
- Ethan Hunt: Nothing is written.
- Gabriel: I'm not sure Luther would agree. Now, tell me I win.
- Ethan Hunt: [holds out the Podkova] You win.
- Gabriel: I like the sound of that. Say it again.
- Gabriel: [after locking up Luther in a cell with a nuclear bomb and taking his Poison Pill] Tell Ethan I'll be waiting for him.
