Quotes3

  • Camier: Oh dear...
  • Li Ann Tsei: Mr. Happy?
  • Desmond Happy: [smiles] I take it our business was conducted without messy complications?
  • Murphy: [furious] In a word, NO.
  • Camier: You've been rather nefarious with us.
  • Desmond Happy: Well of course I lied to you gentlemen, I'm a director!
  • Murphy: Directors lie to their agents, not to their assassins!
  • [Murphy and Camier draw their guns out, along with Vic, Li-Ann, Jackie and Mac in unison]
  • Victor Mansfield: Would you mind answering a few skill-testing questions for us?
  • Desmond Happy: I don't have the time for that, I'm busy taking over!
  • Desmond Happy: Mama's little baby...
  • Camier: [surprised] Good lord... just for a second there it seemed like I felt a twinge of... emotion.
  • Murphy: Regarding our impending milestone?
  • Camier: I'm not certain...
  • Murphy: Not regret or remorse, I pray?
  • Camier: Heaven forbid, if anything, vindication.
  • Murphy: Ah, indeed, after all, #99 here did de-bag three of our agents before dispatching them, so an eye for an eye and a... never mind.
  • [both hit-men hear a noise behind them and they point their guns in that direction]
  • Desmond Happy: Excellent work, gentlemen. Your liquidations... sparkle.
  • Murphy: I'm glad you enjoyed the spectacle.
  • Desmond Happy: You seem bothered by my presence.
  • Camier: The kill is a very intimate moment.
  • Desmond Happy: Call me a voyeur but then as an agency director that's what I'm expected to be.
  • Murphy: [annoyed] You directors are an insolent lot!
  • Desmond Happy: We are what we are by necessity.
