Franka Potente: Marie

The Bourne Identity

Marie

Jason Bourne: Who has a safety deposit box full of money and six passports and a gun? Who has a bank account number in their hip? I come in here, and the first thing I'm doing is I'm catching the sightlines and looking for an exit.
Marie: I see the exit sign, too. I'm not worried. I mean, you were shot. People do all kinds of weird and amazing stuff when they are scared.
Jason Bourne: I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab or the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

Jason Bourne: [Getting ready to leave Marie's car in front of his apartment house] Thanks for the ride.
Marie: Any time.
Jason Bourne: [after a pause] Well, you can come up, and you can... or you could wait here. I - I can go check it out, but you could wait...
Marie: Uh, no, no...
Jason Bourne: [as she is saying no] You could wait...
Marie: ...no, no!
Marie: Um, with you, you would probably just forget about me if I... stayed... here.
Jason Bourne: How could I forget about you?
[laughs]
Jason Bourne: You're the only person I know.

[last lines]
Jason Bourne: This your store?
Marie: Yeah.
Jason Bourne: It's nice. It's a little hard to find, but... Think I could rent a scooter?
Marie: Do you have ID?
Jason Bourne: Not really.

Jason Bourne: What happened?
Marie: Nothing.
Jason Bourne: Did something go wrong?
Marie: I've got the records. This guy at the front desk was smiling at me, so I thought, all this trouble, maybe it's easier to just ask for them.
Jason Bourne: You have the bill?
Marie: [pulling paper from pocket] He made me a photocopy.
Jason Bourne: [incredulous] You just asked for it?
Marie: I said I was Mr. Kane's personal assistant.
Jason Bourne: [pause] Oh. Okay. Good thinking.

Jason Bourne: Look, I'm... you're acting like I'm trying to burn you here. I'm just trying to do the right thing.
Marie: Nobody does the right thing.

Marie: [Jason Bourne meets Marie for the first time, when she is about to get into her car. She is suspicious of him] What are you looking at?
Jason Bourne: I heard you inside.
Marie: What?
Jason Bourne: The consulate. I heard you talking? I thought maybe we could help each other.
Marie: How's that?
Jason Bourne: You need money. I need a ride outta here.
Marie: I'm not running a car service just now, thank you.
Jason Bourne: I'll give you ten thousand dollars for driving me to Paris.
Marie: [She says in German] What, do you think I am, a fool?
Jason Bourne: [He replies in German] You'd be a fool not to take it.
[He holds up a packet of dollar bills]
Marie: What is this, a joke? Some kind of scam?
Jason Bourne: No, it's no scam.
[He tosses her the packet of bills]
Jason Bourne: And I'll give you another ten when we get there.
Marie: Jesus.
[while she leafs through the bills, a police car with siren wailing passes them, and he quickly turns away]
Marie: Is that for you?
Jason Bourne: Look. You drive, I pay, it's that simple.
Marie: Scheisse. I got enough trouble, okay?
Jason Bourne: Okay. Can I have my money back?
[She looks down at the wad of bills again. A moment later, he is in the passenger seat while she drives]

Jason Bourne: I don't wanna know who I am any more.
Marie: Shh.
Jason Bourne: I don't care. I don't wanna know.
Marie: Come on, we'll...
Jason Bourne: Everything I found out, I wanna forget.
Marie: It's okay.
Jason Bourne: I don't care who I am or what I did.
Marie: It's okay.
Jason Bourne: We have this money. We can hide. Could we do that? Is there any chance you can do that?
Marie: [pause] I don't know. Come on.

Jason Bourne: Whatever we do, we have to do it together. We have to be...
Marie: We? The only thing we had in common was that neither one of us knew who you were! We are past that now.
Jason Bourne: Marie! Listen to me! The police will find us, and the people who took that picture in the Embassy, the people who killed Wombosi, they are going to come here and they are gonna kill us.
Marie: The people you work for!
Jason Bourne: I will take you wherever you need to go. I will take you there; I will leave you there. You can do whatever you want, you never have to see me again. But not here. If we stay here, we die.

Marie: ... for 20 minutes or 20 years, if you know what I mean. So I went, and I took all the money I had. And I went in with friends, and we took over this really cool surf shop outside Biarritz, which was right by the water. It was amazing. It was just amazing for about three months, until it turned out that this uh, jerk, who had found us the lease was actually shining everyone on and...
[stops]
Jason Bourne: And what?
Marie: What do you mean, what? Listen to me. I, I've been speed talking for about sixty kilometers now. I, I talk when I'm nervous, I mean, I, I talk like this when I'm nervous. I'm gonna shut up now.
Jason Bourne: No, don't do that. I haven't talked to anybody in awhile.
Marie: Yeah, but we're not talking. I'm talking. You've said like ten words since we left Zurich.
Jason Bourne: Well, listening to you, it's relaxing. I haven't slept in a while. And, and I've got this headache. It's like a constant thing inside my head, and it's just starting to move to the background, so... Keep going. Really, if you want, please keep talking.

Marie: [Rhetorically] Who pays $20,000 for a ride to Paris?
Jason Bourne: F*ck it. I can't remember anything that happened before two weeks ago.
Marie: Lucky you.
Jason Bourne: No, I'm serious. I don't know who I am. I don't where I'm going. None of it.
Marie: What? Like, amnesia?
Jason Bourne: Yes.
Marie: Amnesia.
Jason Bourne: Yes.
Marie: Right.

Marie: Eamon! Surprise, it's me, Marie. Wow, uh, there's a really good reason for this.
Eamon: Well, there bloody well better be.
[to kids]
Eamon: Hang on, hang on.
Marie: I had no idea you would be here.
Eamon: Well, why would I be here? It's only my bloody house, right?

Marie: [Knocks] Morning.
Eamon: Chr*st, you're up early. Bless you for making coffee.
Child: He's not there either!
Eamon: And you looked by the car?
Child: He's not anywhere.
Eamon: All right. Let me get dressed.
Jason Bourne: Who?
Eamon: Bloody dog's gone missing.
Jason Bourne: [to child] Does that happen a lot?
Eamon: Oh, that mutt miss his breakfast? Not a chance. There's always something, right?
Jason Bourne: [Tenses up] Get in the basement.
Eamon: What?
Jason Bourne: Get everyone in the basement right now.
Eamon: What the h*ll are you talking about?
Jason Bourne: We're in danger. Your family is in danger. I don't have time to explain.
Eamon: Wait a minute. What the...
Marie: Eamon, you should go.
Eamon: [to Marie] What the h*ll have you done?
Jason Bourne: It's not her. It's me. You need to get out of sight and in the basement, as quick as you can.
Child: Daddy!
[Hugs Eamon]
Jason Bourne: [to Eamon] I'm sorry. Let's go.
[Eamon rushes with children to basement]
