Jack Reacher: Never Go Back Quotes

Samantha: When things get hairy, I just pick out the alpha guy.

Turner: And what? He's supposed to protect you?

Samantha: No, I give him shit. Strong guys don't hurt you. The weak guys do that. Strong guys always have little sisters. Or they want one. I don't know why, that's just how it is.

[first lines]

Jack Reacher: Yes.

Col. Morgan: Yes, you confronted him?

Jack Reacher: Yes, I understand I don't have to say anything.

Col. Morgan: For the record, you did confront Colonel Moorcroft yesterday. Can you state your whereabouts last night between 0130 and 0500?

Jack Reacher: [in vehicle to Turner] Really?

Turner: Shut up.

Turner: You know, I admit to being a little jealous when we talk. Go where you want. Eat when you want. Nobody telling you what to do or how to do it. It's definitely not the Army way.

Jack Reacher: Exactly.

Gen. Harkness: Made a mess, I hear.

The Hunter: This Reacher guy is interesting.

Gen. Harkness: You have no idea. They ran out of medals. So don't make this a competition.

The Hunter: Too late.

Samantha: I don't understand. You said you're not a cop.

Turner: It's different.

Samantha: But... you stole this car.

Turner: It's complicated.

Gen. Harkness: Do you know who I am, Major?

Turner: Yes, General. I do. You're the man responsible for the deaths of two of my men. Now, open up those crates before I grab you by your hair plugs and bitch slap that smug look off of your face.

Samantha: [while helping an aching Reacher walk] Dude, you jumped off a building.

Jack Reacher: Yeah, I know.

Samantha: Did it hurt?

Samantha: Did you see how high that was?

Jack Reacher: Can we possibly have this conversation some other time?

Samantha: So, Reacher... are you my father or not?

Jack Reacher: I guess we'll see when your mother gets here.

Samantha: But who says she'll remember you?

Jack Reacher: Thanks a lot.

Jack Reacher: Look at me. You look at me.

[punches the Hunter and breaks his neck]

Jack Reacher: Act angry.

Turner: I *am* angry.
