20 Best Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One Quotes

Ethan: [describing the person Grace has used as a mule to carry an item] A man. Middle aged. A man waiting his whole life to be noticed by a woman like you.

Eugene: [Warning Ethan Hunt about the bounty hunters chasing Isla] They never bring their fugitive back alive, and rarely in one piece.

[from trailer]
Gabriel: His fate is written. Shall we write yours too?
Ethan: If anything happens to them, there's no place you and your God will be safe. There's no place that I won't go to kill you. That is written.

Eugene: [To Ethan Hunt, while deep inside the secure intelligence facility] How do you plan on getting out of here?
[Looks over to see Ethan putting on a "Kitterige" mask]
Eugene: Of course.

[from trailer]
Eugene: Our lives are the sum of our choices. And we cannot escape the past. Ethan, this mission of yours is going to cost you... dearly.

Ethan: [As he rides a motorcycle higher up the mountain] When do I start going downhill?
Benji: [Knowing that "the jump" is coming] Won't be long.

Grace: Are you Okay?
Ethan: Are YOU Okay?
Grace: The key! Tell me you have the key!
Ethan: Where is the key?

Luther: I packed you a BASE parachute and a speed wing, depending on how you need to leave the train. And I modified our comms to use sky wave radio. Not as reliable as satellite, but completely analogue, immune to the Entity.
Ethan: Got it.
Luther: This is where I leave you. This is the drive from the laptop I was using last night. If there's even a trace of the Entity's encoding in there, I'll find it. But it's going to take everything I've got. I have to work complete offline in a place where the Entity can't find me. I have to go.
Ethan: I understand.
Luther: Now, I have to ask you a question. Not as your partner, but as your friend. What's your objective?
Ethan: Kill the Entity.
Luther: What about killing Gabriel?
Ethan: He knows what the key unlocks. If we need him alive, I wouldn't have forgotten it.
Luther: Will you still remember that when you're looking him in the eye? Think about it. Why else would the Entity want him to kill someone you care about? Everyone else thinks they can control the Entity. Only YOU want to kill it. In some probable future, it sees you winning, Ethan. And it's afraid. It's afraid of you taking Gabriel alive and forcing him to tell you what the key unlocks. I believe it's counting on one of two probable outcomes. In one outcome, you die on that train. In another outcome, you kill Gabriel. In both cases, the Entity wins.
Ethan: Luther, I think you're right.
Luther: Get the key, get off the train, ALIVE, do NOT kill Gabriel. And do not, I repeat, do NOT alter the plan.

Eugene: The next war isn't going to be a cold war, it'll be a shooting war, a ballistic war ; over a rapidly-dwindling eco-system. The last of the world's energy, drinkable water, breathable air.

Ethan: Which way? Left or right?
The: It doesn't matter.
Ethan: What do you mean it doesn't matter? Where is she?
The: She's on her way to the Minich Bridge, where Gabriel is waiting. You will never get there in time. But you can, Ilsa. I know what matters most to you, Ethan.
Ethan: This isn't Benji.
The: No, it's not. But you are done.

Degas: [In French, politely] Ladies and gentlemen. Excuse me.
Briggs: [Holds up pistol and cocks it] Everybody out!

Ethan: [to Grace] I swear your life will always matter more to me than my own.
Grace: You don't even know me.
Ethan: What difference does *that* make?

[from trailer]
Luther: Ethan, what's your objective? What's your ultimate objective?
Ethan: Your life will always matter more to me than my own.
Luther: None of our lives can matter more than this mission.
Ethan: I don't accept that.

Eugene: [Last lines, voiceover] The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan.

Ilsa: It's my first time in Venice.
Ethan: It's mine too.
[Isla snuggles up to him, then the scene cuts to them holding hands on a night-time gondola cruise]

Ethan: [to Gabriel, in regards to Grace and Ilsa] If anything happens to them, there's no place on Earth where you or your God will be safe from me. There's no place where I won't go to kill you. THAT is written.

Grace: [talking about Ilsa] Am I the reason she's dead?
Luther: No, she's the reason you're alive.

Captain: We are the state of the art, of war. The most fearsome killing machine ever devised by man, and we are impossible to find.

Degas: What if he had a good reason?
Briggs: Who?
Degas: Hunt. What if he had a good reason to go rogue?
Briggs: They always go rogue. Him and his merry band of prankster circus freaks.

[last lines]
Eugene: [voice-over] We cannot escape the past. Some of us are doomed to repeat it. Grace may believe you saved her from her fate, but you and I both know you merely bought her time. But that's the pattern, isn't it? A cross you've been left to bear. The closer someone gets to you, the harder it is to keep them alive.
Benji: [seeing Ethan parachute down] Thank God.
Eugene: [voice-over, continued] A new day brings a new burden. The key is only the beginning. Wherever it leads, wherever it takes to get there, you'll have to do it on your own. Should you fail in your mission, the Entity wins. Gabriel wins. And the world will pay the ultimate price. Should any members of your team be caught or killed, their sacrifice will have been in vain. So hurry. There isn't much time. The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan.
