Quotes
-
Erica Sloan : You have got to be kidding me.
August Walker : If you want Lane out of prision, this is how it gets done.
Erica Sloan : I wanted Lark to break him out, not Ethan Hunt. I wanted Lark to the exchange, not Ethan Hunt. I wanted Lark to lead us to the plutonium and the apostles.
August Walker : You may still get your chance.
Erica Sloan : Have you forgotten about the corpse we pulled out of the men's room at the Grand Palais?
August Walker : I'm guessing that wasn't Lark. More likely of Lark's recruits.
Erica Sloan : Not according to our intelligence
August Walker : Intelligence gathered by whom?
Erica Sloan : Hunt.
August Walker : You've long held suspicions Lark was an american agent. Someone who knew our every move. Someone who come and go like a ghost.
Erica Sloan : You're suggesting that Hunt is John Lark. You're reaching, Walker. Trying to save your ass. It won't work.
August Walker : Think about it. Would a man as careful as Lark really stick his neck out like that? For a face to face with the widow?
Erica Sloan : He'd send a proxy.
August Walker : A decoy. And if he was really smart, he'd have his lady friend kill that decoy in front of a reliable witness. Me. The dragnet is closing on his terrorist alter ego. So he pays a man to play the part of Lark and has him killed. And under the guise of serving his country...
Erica Sloan : Assume his own secret identity.
August Walker : Free to operate at will with the full support of the US government.
Erica Sloan : Why? Why would Hunt turn?
August Walker : Why did Lane do it? Why did any of his apostoles? They were believers in a cause. And when that cause turned out to be a lie, they turned again their masters. How many times has Hunt's government betrayed him, disavowed him, cast him aside? And how long before a man like that has had enough?
Erica Sloan : That is a serious accusation. Can you prove it?
August Walker : [hands her a phone] This is the phone we pulled off the dead body at the Grand Palais. I'm guessing it has all the proof you need.

Erica Sloan : [to Ethan, voice-over] Per your request, I'm handing Solomon Lane back to MI6. Through a broker, of course, part of our ongoing arrangement. After what happened in Paris, we prefer to keep a low profile. And that closes your friend's account in British intelligence. I understand now why Hunley believed in you. The world needs the IMF. We need people like you, who care about the one life as much as they care about the millions. That way I never have to.
-
Erica Sloan : You use a scalpel, I prefer a hammer.
-
Erica Sloan : The IMF is like Halloween, a bunch of grown men in rubber masks playing trick-or-treat.

Erica Sloan : This is the CIA's mission. If he had held onto the plutonium, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Alan Hunley : His team would be dead.
Erica Sloan : Yes, they would. That's the job.

Alan Hunley : I prayed to God that it wasn't true.
Erica Sloan : Solomon Lane escaped in Paris.
Alan Hunley : And now the world is at risk.
Erica Sloan : This is the CIA's mission. You use a scalpel. I prefer a hammer.
-
Erica Sloan : I have a team in Paris ready to grab Lark as soon as he leaves the Palais. A G5 standing by ready to rendition him to Gitmo, where a waterboard is waiting.
Alan Hunley : Spend twenty-four hours we don't have, to pull a confession we can't trust, from a man we haven't positively identified? No
