- Luther Stickell: [closing monologue] 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 did it. We, who live and die in the shadows. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan.
- Benji Dunn: [after being shot] Oh no, this isn't good.
- Grace: What is it?
- Benji Dunn: If I had to guess, it's a tension pneumothorax.
- Grace: What does that mean?
- Benji Dunn: Pressure building in the pleural cavity. My lung is collapsing. If we don't act fast, it means suffocation or cardiac arrest. Do you any of you have any medical experience?
- Paris: [in French] I kill people.
- Benji Dunn: Yeah, I can work with that.
- Captain Bledsoe: Mister, without the decompression chamber, you're going to die for sure.
- Ethan Hunt: Sir, your decompression chamber has never been the part of the plan.
- Captain Bledsoe: Oh? Okay. What exactly is... your plan?
- Ethan Hunt: What separates a great pickpocket from a good one?
- Grace: Timing.
- Ethan Hunt: Blink of an eye.
- Erika Sloane: [opening monologue] 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. In the months since you evaded capture in Austria, every corner of cyberspace has been infested by the truth-eating, parasitic AI known to us as the Entity. Under its influence, digital information has been corrupted worldwide; nations and people no longer know what to believe. Antagonism, aggression, and martial law are the new world order. Exploiting this paranoid atmosphere, the Entity has inspired a doomsday cult with acolytes devoted to ridding the world of corruption through human extinction. These fanatics are secretly infiltrating every level of law enforcement, government, and our military, devoted to serving their digital master's ultimate goal. Our only hope of controlling the Entity relies on finding its original source. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this code, it's this man. His identity, his past, his very existence have been erased, suggesting he is or was in league with the Entity. Austrian authorities have his accomplice in custody, but she has refused to tell us anything... which brings us back to you. You are in possession of a key believed to be a vital component in our struggle to acquire the Entity's source code. Yet you refuse to come in, fearing any government will weaponize this malicious AI against the rest of the world. Instead, you've resolved to kill the Entity, a reckless act that would trigger the total annihilation of cyberspace. This would eradicate the global economy, plunging the world into war and famine without end. Agent Hunt -- Ethan -- please, surrender, or the blood of the world will be on your hands. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Come home, Ethan... and bring us that key.
- 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.
- Grace: What's your name ?
- Captain Koltsov: Koltsov.
- Grace: What's your first name ?
- Captain Koltsov: Captain.
- Luther Stickell: What are we gonna do? Retire? Go fishing? This is my mission. This is what I was born to do.
- 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.
- Briggs: [to Ethan, about Luther] It's a shame about your friend. Then again, you're used to lose them.
