Quotes

Mercenary

Edit
  • [to her rescuers after being freed from a gang of kidnappers]
  • Pre-teen American Girl: Goddamn motherfuckin' ass-suckin' son of a bitch cocksuckers! Untie my fuckin' hands!
  • McClean: Well, Daddy is sure going to be glad to have her home.
  • Special Agent Ranklin: Mr. Ambler, the senator wanted me to extend to you his deepest regrets. Nasir's killing rattled a lot of cages in Washington. Ah, naturally, we're all very sorry to hear about your loss. But the man you're looking for is an international terrorist for hire - completely out of our jurisdiction. We can't just pick him up.
  • Jonas Ambler: Define can't. Is this can't, as in humanly impossible, or can't, as in we just don't care about individual human lives to exact retribution?
  • Special Agent Ranklin: We are fully aware of the seriousness of this crime, but this particular guy is completely unapproachable.
  • Jonas Ambler: If I've learned anything from business, it's that no one is competely unapproachable! Now you tell me where he is and who he is?
  • Special Agent Ranklin: He's called Phoenix. He operates somewhere out of the Middle East. It's most likely that he was hired by an extremist faction to hit Majdi. Unfortunately, you and your wife were innocent bystanders.
  • Jonas Ambler: I am not a bystander, Mr. Rankin, I am a player and no one who ever fucked with me got away with murder. Am I fucking clear?
  • [speaking by radio to his teammates when Hawk enters the kidnappers' lair]
  • McClean: Halfback is in the hole.
