Mission: Impossible1996

Ethan Hunt:
[face covered by hood] I thought I was going to see Max.

Matthias:
You misunderstood. No one sees Max.

Ethan Hunt:
Then what am I doing here?

Matthias:
Allowing Max to see you and hear what you've got to say.

Ethan Hunt:
I don't communicate very well through a shroud.

Matthias:
If Max doesn't like what you have to say, you will be wearing that shroud indefinitely.

Ethan Hunt:
[thinks a second] I'm willing to take the chance.

Matthias:
Very well.

[Uncovers Ethan's face]

Max:
Who are you and what are you doing here?

Ethan Hunt:
I need $150,000.

Max:
[Laughing] Oh, really?....And you thought if you simply showed up, I might give it to you?

Ethan Hunt:
Why not? You gave Job 125.

Max:
Hmmm..The penny drops. You are not Job...Job is not given to quoting scripture in his communications...Then there was it's tone, aggressive but playful. Job is not playful...So you are something of a paradox.

Ethan Hunt:
Well, that depends.

Max:
On what?

Ethan Hunt:
Whether you like a paradox...I want $150,000 today.

Max:
Ah Nah. That is quite out of the question.

Ethan Hunt:
The disk Job sold you, it's worthless...It's bait, part of an internal mole hunt.

Max:
And how might you know that?...Are you another Company man?

Ethan Hunt:
Like Job?

Max:
We're asking about you.

Ethan Hunt:
I'm NOC...Was...Now, Disavowed.

Max:
Why, may I ask?

Ethan Hunt:
That is the question I want to ask Job.

Max:
I don't know Job anymore than Job knows me.

Ethan Hunt:
Even so...I'm sure you could arrange an introduction.

Max:
Why should I?

Ethan Hunt:
Because I can deliver the actual NOC list. The one you have is not only worthless, it's certain to be equipped with a homing device to pinpoint your exact location.

Max:
Um Hmm.

Ethan Hunt:
Boot it up. In anywhere from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, you'll have Virginia farm boys hopping around you like jackrabbits.

Max:
It's easy to say the disk is worthless when you say I can't look at the information and see if it's worthless. Not a tenable position, sir.

Ethan Hunt:
Okay. Use it. But...I'd suggest you pack first.

[Matthias boots up a laptop and inserts the disk]

Matthias:
26, 27. So far so good.

Max:
Not so good for you, my friend.

Ethan Hunt:
I'd say you've got about...two minutes.

Matthias:
32 and 33.

Max:
Doesn't mean it's a signal. Could just be the hard drive heating up.

Matthias:
44 and 45.

[Kittridge and a team of agents raid the apartment but find nothing, while Max and her agents escape out a back door and take Ethan with them.]
