Ethan Hunt
- Ethan Hunt: [Ethan and Benji are in a car which is flying mid-air] You have your seatbelt on?
- Benji Dunn: You're asking me that NOW?
- Benji Dunn: [Ethan wants to drive the car just after he was resuscitated after drowning in a water tank] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you OK to drive? A minute ago you were DEAD!
- Ethan Hunt: What are you talking about?
- Benji Dunn: [Benji gets in the car] This is not gonna end well.
- Ethan Hunt: [Ethan is hanging to the side door of the plane] Benji, open the door!
- Benji Dunn: Ethan? How did you get in the plane?
- Ethan Hunt: I'm not in the plane, I'm ON the plane! Open the door!
- Benji Dunn: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right!
- [opens the rear door]
- Benji Dunn: Ha! How's that?
- Ethan Hunt: That's the wrong door!
- Luther Stickell: [notices the rear door opened] Not that door, Benji, the other door!
- Benji Dunn: Oh, yeah, sorry!
- Ethan Hunt: [Ethan, Ilsa, Benji, Luther and Brandt have captured Lane in a glass box] Gentlemen, this is Solomon Lane. Mr. Lane, meet the IMF.
- Ethan Hunt: The Syndicate is real. A rogue nation, trained to do what we do.
- Benji Dunn: An anti-IMF.
- Ethan Hunt: I can't protect you, that's why I need you to leave.
- Benji Dunn: That's not your decision to MAKE, Ethan! I am a FIELD AGENT, I know the risks! More than that, I am your FRIEND, no matter what I tell the polygraph every week! Now you CALLED ME because you needed my help! And you still do! So I am STAYING! And that is all we are gonna say about that!
- Lane: [Ethan's phone rings twice] I have a job for you, Ethan, and for the sake of your friend you will do it.
- Ethan Hunt: I'm listening.
- Lane: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to bring me the unlocked disk by midnight tonight. Now say the words, please.
- Ethan Hunt: I accept.
- Lane: Yes, I knew you would.
- Record Shop Girl: We're about to close.
- Ethan Hunt: I won't be long.
- Record Shop Girl: Are you looking for anything in particular?
- Ethan Hunt: Something rare.
- Record Shop Girl: Let me guess... Classical?
- Ethan Hunt: Jazz.
- Record Shop Girl: Sax?
- Ethan Hunt: Coltrane.
- Record Shop Girl: Piano?
- Ethan Hunt: Monk.
- Record Shop Girl: Shadow Wilson on bass.
- Ethan Hunt: Shadow Wilson played drums.
- Record Shop Girl: Know why... they call him Shadow?
- Ethan Hunt: Because he had a light touch.
- Record Shop Girl: You're in luck. I have a first pressing.
- Benji Dunn: Well, how long will it take to free swim from the intake to the service hatch?
- Ilsa Faust: Two minutes, with the current at full power.
- Benji Dunn: Then you just have to hold your breath for two minutes.
- Ethan Hunt: What about installing the security profile?
- Benji Dunn: Well, that's gonna be, like, a minute, tops.
- Ethan Hunt: So I have to hold my breath for *three* minutes.
- Benji Dunn: [cavalierly] You can do that.
- Ilsa Faust: What I think you're overlooking is the physical exertion. The more you exert yourself, the faster you consume oxygen.
- Benji Dunn: Don't worry about him, all right? All he has to do is install the fake profile before I get to the gait analysis. You said it yourself, it's the only way.
- [chuckles]
- Benji Dunn: That doesn't sound "impossible".
- Lane: [while Benji is strapped to a bomb and Lane demands the ledger] Where is the disc?
- Benji Dunn: Where is the disc?
- Ethan Hunt: You're looking at it. I am the disc.
- Ethan Hunt: Chief Atlee, kind of you to accept our invitation.
- [shoots Atlee with a tranquilizer gun]
- Atlee: [dazed] Do you know who I am?
- Ethan Hunt: We know you created the Syndicate. But Lane went rogue and turned it against you, didn't he? And you've been desperately trying to cover it up. That's why you erased the disk when she brought it to you.
- Atlee: That's true.
- Ethan Hunt: Now, Director Hunley has some questions for you regarding Ilsa Faust. Namely, how you framed her.
- Atlee: That's also true.
- Ethan Hunt: [to Hunley] It's the antidote.
- William Brandt: When the Prime Minister found out about the Syndicate, Atlee attacked him.
- Prime Minister: [dazed] Yes, that's true.
- William Brandt: And then you saved the Prime Minister, sir.
- Prime Minister: Did he? I'm very grateful.
- Benji Dunn: If you're going to bring me all this way, you could at least give me something a bit more, you know, dramatic.
- Ethan Hunt: Benji, we're trying to keep a low profile. You want drama, go to the opera.
- Ethan Hunt: So the key to crushing Lane is sitting in a computer, just waiting for someone to take it.
- Benji Dunn: So, why hasn't Lane just sent someone to steal it?
- Ilsa Faust: Oh, he has. He sent me. And I can tell you... it's impossible.
- William Brandt: There's no more IMF. I've been ordered to bring everyone in.
- Ethan Hunt: I understand, Brandt. We didn't have this conversation. I've disappeared in London, you don't know where I am, If I'm dead or alive.
- William Brandt: This man you saw, can you find him?
- Ethan Hunt: I won't stop until I do.
- William Brandt: This may very well be our last mission, Ethan. Make it count.
- Ethan Hunt: You're free now. Where will you go?
- Ilsa Faust: I don't know. I've done my part.
- Ethan Hunt: Yeah.
- Luther Stickell: Ethan, we got to go!
- Ilsa Faust: [Ethan and Ilsa embrace] You'd better hurry now.
- Ethan Hunt: Good luck.
- Ilsa Faust: You know how to find me.
- [drives away]
- William Brandt: We good?
- Ethan Hunt: Things got a little out of hand.
- Benji Dunn: [becomes conscious] Wow! look out!
