Mission: Impossible III Quotes

  • Owen Davian: Who are you? What's your name? Do you have a wife? A girlfriend? Because if you do, I'm gonna find her. I'm gonna hurt her. I'm gonna make her bleed, and cry, and call out your name. And then I'm gonna find you, and kill you right in front of her.

  • Benji Dunn: I'm assuming it's like a codename for something he's about to sell to an unspecified buyer, for $850 million by the way, or maybe it's not a codeword, maybe it's just a really, really expensive bunny appendage.

  • [when asked if he knew what the "Rabbit's Foot" was]

    Benji Dunn: It's interesting - I used to have this professor at Oxford, okay? Doctor Wickham, his name was and he was, like, this massive fat guy, you know? Huge, big guy. We used to call him - you know, well, I won't tell you what we used to call him, but he taught biomolecular kinetics and cellular dynamics. And he used to sort of scare the underclassmen with this story about how the world would eventually be eviscerated by technology. You see, it was inevitable that a compound would be created which he referred to as the 'Anti-God'. It was like an accelerated mutator or sort of, you know, like a, an unstoppable force of destructive power, that would just lay waste to everything - to buildings and parks and streets and children and ice cream parlors, you know? So whenever I see, like, a rogue organization willing to spend this amount of money on a mystery tech, I always assume... it's the Anti-God. End-of-the-world kinda stuff, you know... But no, I don't have any idea what it is. I was just speculating.

  • Ethan Hunt: [after climbing a wall, as a signal] Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

  • Ethan Hunt: I need... I need to ask you for something incredible.

    Owen Davian: Four...

  • Ethan Hunt: Getting Davian is good, but getting his buyers is even better.

    Declan: I don't understand what you're saying. No matter how we grab Davian, his clients are gonna know he's been taken

    Declan: What are you gonna do? Land in the middle of Shanghai and hope no one notices?

    John Musgrave: Two laptops were recovered...

    Brassel: I'm aware of that. We've talked to Tech Services. They doubt if they can reconstitute the drives. "Crispy," I believe,is what they called them. Worthless.

    [holding a card with text and tiny wireless microphone in front of Davian's face]

    Ethan Hunt: Read it.

    Owen Davian: [reading aloud from the card] The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy. He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, when she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room. I count on his schemes to reveal th...

    [stops reading]

    Owen Davian: What the hell is this?

    Ethan Hunt: Finish!

    Zhen: [to Ethan, through intercom] Alpha, you're about to have a visitor.

    Ethan Hunt: [to Davian] Finish!

    Owen Davian: [resumes reading] - the way to escape my gloom.

    Luther Stickell: [through intercom] Got it.

    [Ethan shoots a dart into Davian's neck, tranquilizing him]

  • Ethan Hunt: You hit the brakes for a second, just tap them on the freeway, you can literally track the ripple effect of that action across a two-hundred-mile stretch of road, because traffic has a memory. It's amazing. It's like a living organism.
