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.
-
August Walker : Hope is not a strategy.
Ilsa Faust : You must be new.
-
August Walker : The name is Walker, by the way
Benji Dunn : Was the little car your idea?
-
August Walker : [to Lane] Why do you have to make things so fucking complicated?
-
August Walker : [to Ethan, while hanging off the wreckage of a helicopter] Why won't you just die?
-
August Walker : Is it true Lane gassed a village of 2000 people?
Ethan Hunt : Yes.
August Walker : Is it true he brought down an entire passenger plane just to kill one man?
Ethan Hunt : Yes.
August Walker : Is it true that he...
Ethan Hunt : Look, Walker, whatever you've heard, if it makes your skin crawl, it's probably true.
August Walker : Holy shit. You're the guy that caught him, aren't you? How long do you think he's gonna keep that to himself?
-
August Walker : Hunt's the only friend you've got. You're only alive today because he didn't have the guts to kill you. Sloane was right. The IMF is Halloween. Nothing but grown men wearing...
Solomon Lane : [Smiling nervously] What?
August Walker : [Walker removes Lane's mask to reveal Benji] It's just the job. No hard feelings.
-
Solomon Lane : [quoting from John Lark's manifesto] "There cannot be peace without first a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace."
August Walker : When I wrote those words, I wasn't referring to your peace or Hunt's suffering. The old world order needs dismantling, and we have the tools to dismantle it. All you seem to care about is that Hunt lives to take the blame. That's not anarchy. That's revenge.
-
[repeated line]
August Walker : There cannot be peace without first a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace.
-
Ethan Hunt : [Ethan confronts Walker in the elevator after Walker is revealed to be John Lark, and Walker holds Ethan at gunpoint] You can't do it, can you? Not until you get your plutonium.
August Walker : No, he still has plans for you. You're gonna turn yourself in and admit you're John Lark, then watch the old world implode from your dark little cell.
Ethan Hunt : And if I don't?
August Walker : [Walker takes out a picture of Julia with her new husband Erik, Ethan gasps in horror upon seeing the picture] I'm her guardian angel, Hunt. If I see you again, she dies. If you try to warn her, she dies. Know when you're beat.
-
Alan Hunley : I believe I've been given a choice to protect you or the IMF, which is why I'm bringing you in.
Ethan Hunt : And if I refuse?
Alan Hunley : [referring to Walker] What do you think he's here for? You think he's some observer? He's an assassin! Erika Sloane's number one plumber. You go rogue, he's authorized to hunt you down and kill you.
August Walker : It's the job. No hard feelings.
Alan Hunley : Accept it, Ethan. You've lost this one. What's done is done.
Ethan Hunt : No, sir. No.
Alan Hunley : I am not asking you, I am giving you a direct order. This mission is terminated. Now!
