Jefferson Smith:
You sure had the right idea about me, Saunders. You told me to go back home, keep fillin' those kids full of hooey. Yeah. Just a simple guy you said was still wet behind the ears. A lot of junk about American ideals. Yeah, that's certainly a lot of junk, all right...I don't know. This is a whole new world to me. What are you gonna believe in? And a man like Paine, Senator Joseph Paine gets up and swears that I've been robbing kids of nickels and dimes. A man I've admired and worshiped all my life. There are a lot of fancy words here. Some of them are carved in stone, some of them men like Taylor put up there. So suckers like me could read them. Then you find out what those men actually do. I'm getting out of this town so fast. Away from all the words, the monuments, the whole rotten show.

Clarissa Saunders:
I see. When you get home, what are you gonna tell those kids?

Jefferson Smith:
I'll tell 'em the truth. Might as well find it out now as later.

Clarissa Saunders:
I don't think they'll believe you, Jeff. You know, they're liable to look up at you with hurt faces and say, 'Jeff, what did you do? Quit? Didn't you do something about it?'

Jefferson Smith:
Well, what do you expect me to do? An honorary stooge like me against the Taylors and Paines and machines and lies...

Clarissa Saunders:
Your friend Mr. Lincoln had his Taylors and Paines. So did every other man whoever tried to lift his thought up off the ground. Odds against 'em didn't stop those men. They were fools that way. All the good that ever came into this world came from fools with faith like that. You know that Jeff. You can't quit now. Not you! They aren't all Taylors and Paines in Washington. Their kind just throw big shadows, that's all. You didn't just have faith in Paine or any other living man. You had faith in something bigger than that. You had plain, decent, every day, common rightness. And this country could use some of that. Yeah - so could the whole cock-eyed world. A lot of it. Remember the first day you got here? Remember what you said about Mr. Lincoln? You said he was sitting up there waiting for someone to come along. You were right! He was waiting for a man who could see his job and sail into it. That's what he was waiting for. A man who could tear into the Taylors and root 'em out into the open. I think he was waiting for you Jeff. He knows you can do it. So do I.

Jefferson Smith:
What? Do what, Saunders?

Clarissa Saunders:
You just make up your mind you're not gonna quit and I'll tell you what. I've been thinkin' about it all the way back here. It's a forty foot dive into a tub of water, but I think you can do it.

Jefferson Smith:
Clarissa, where can we get a drink?

Clarissa Saunders:
[slapping his knee] Now you're talkin'!

Diz Moore:
[dictating into phone] In protest, the whole Senate body rose and walked out.

Clarissa Saunders:
No! No, not that straight stuff. Now listen, kick it up, get on his side, fight for him! Understand?

Diz Moore:
You love this monkey - don't you?

Clarissa Saunders:
What do you think? Now listen, go to work. Do as I tell you, you do know that, don't you?

Diz Moore:
[into phone] Throw out that last, take this. This is the most titanic battle of modern times. A David without even a slingshot rises to do battle against the mighty Goliath, the Taylor machine, allegedly crooked inside and out. Yeah, and for my money and an extra bonus prize, you can cut out the "allegedly."

Annie:
The swearing, Paul. There, I said it.

Paul:
The, uh, profanity bothers you?

Annie:
It has no nobility.

Paul:
These are slum kids, I was a slum kid. Everybody talks like that.

Annie:
THEY DO NOT! What do you think I say when I go to the feedstore in town, "Oh, now Wally, give me a bag of that F-in' pig feed, and ten pounds of that bitchly cow corn"? And at the bank, do I tell Mrs. Bollinger, "Oh, here's one big bastard of a check, give me some of your Christ-ing money?" [spills soup on Paul's bed] THERE, LOOK THERE, SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! I'm sorry.

Annie Wilkes:
You- You dirty bird, how could you?

Paul Sheldon:
What?

Annie Wilkes:
She can't be dead! Misery Chastain cannot be dead!

Paul Sheldon:
Annie, in 1871, women often died during childbirth. But her spirit is the important thing, and Misery's spirit is still alive.

Annie Wilkes:
[shaking Paul's bed violently] I DON'T WANT HER SPIRIT! I WANT HER! AND YOU MURDERED HER!

Paul Sheldon:
No... I didn't.

Annie Wilkes:
WHO DID?!

Paul Sheldon:
No one, she... she died. She just slipped away.

Annie Wilkes:
SLIPPED AWAY?! SLIPPED AWAY?! SHE DIDN'T JUST SLIP AWAY! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! YOU DID IT! [breaks the glass] YOU MURDERED MY MISERY! [hits the wall with something] I thought you were good, Paul, but you're not good, you're just a lying ol' dirty birdy.

Annie:
Here's your pills.

Paul:
Annie? Annie, what is it?

Annie:
The rain. Sometimes it gives me the blues. When you first came here, I only loved the writer part of Paul Sheldon. Now I know I love the rest of him, too. I know you don't love me, don't say you do. You're beautiful, brilliant, a famous man of the world and I'm... not a movie star type. You'll never know the fear of losing someone like you if you're someone like me.

Paul:
Why would you lose me?

Annie Wilkes:
Book's almost finished, your legs are getting better. Soon you'll be wanting to leave.

Paul:
Why would I leave? I like it here.

Annie:
That's very kind of you, but I'll bet it's not all together true. [pulls out a gun] I have this gun. [pulls the trigger] Sometimes I think about using it. [looks at Paul] I'd better go now. I might put bullets in it.

Gracie:
Because it's too hard to fit "Oil and Petrochemical Refinery State" on a license plate?

Kathy:
You think you saved something tonight, but all you did was to destroy the dream of young women all over this country.

Gracie:
What? You think their dream is to get blown up? Y'know, you got a really good shot at that insanity plea.

Kathy:
(gets in the car) Yeah, well, I earned it, honey! 25 years of bitching beauty queens, and what do I get?! FIRED! They steal my life! They steal my beauty pageant!

Gracie:
Hey! Hey! It is NOT a beauty pageant! It is a scholarship program.

Kathy:
Yeah, yeah.

Gracie:
Yes.

(she shuts the door of the police car, and it drives off with Kathy inside)

Jim Phelps:
Any questions?

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah. Could we get a cappuccino machine in here? 'Cause I don't know what you call this.

Jack Harmon:
I call it cruel and unusual.

Claire Phelps:
Hey, I made that coffee.

Ethan Hunt:
Exactly. Is it possible that it's any worse than the sludge you made in that barn in Kiev?

Claire Phelps:
[sarcastically] Thank you.

Jim Phelps:
Take it easy on my wife's coffee.

Ethan Hunt:
We missed you in Kiev, Jim.

Jim Phelps:
Missed you too, Ethan.

Jack Harmon:
You're off on one of your cushy recruiting assignments again?

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah, where did they put you up this time? The Plaza?

Jim Phelps:
Drake Hotel, Chicago.

Jack Harmon:
Ooh! Punishing! 24-hour room service!

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah, chauffeured cars.

Jack Harmon:
Fat expense accounts.

Ethan Hunt:
He's getting soft in his old age.

Jack Harmon:
Yes he is, look at him.

Jim Phelps:
All right. Now, listen, if that list gets out into the open, the names of all our agents in every country in Eastern Europe will be up for grabs to the highest bidders. Third World terrorists, arms dealers, drug lords, any and everybody who'd love to get rid of long-term coverts like us. If they're exposed, they'll be executed. So, I'll run the whole show from the crow's nest here. Everyone knows their roles. Let's punch out the details.

Sarah Davies:
Tell me, Senator, do you all have someone on your staff named Jack?

Ethan Hunt [disguised as Senator John Waltzer, while Jack struggles to rig the fingerprint recognition system]:
Jack... I believe we did have a Jack. An unreliable fellow as I recall. Constantly late, and behind in his work. I was forced to tie him behind one of my best stallions and drag him around my barn for a few days.

Jack Harmon:
[seeing Hunt's point] Relax your crack, Foghorn, I'm working on it.

Bravo-echo-one-one.

Operator:
Switching. [dials number]

Eugene Kittridge:
This is Kittridge.

Ethan Hunt:
Go secure.

Eugene Kittridge:
Okay, go ahead.

Ethan Hunt:
This is Ethan Hunt. They're dead.

Eugene Kittridge:
What? Who's dead?

Ethan Hunt:
My team. My team is DEAD!

Eugene Kittridge:
Jesus

Ethan Hunt:
Golitsyn's gone. They knew we were coming, man. They knew we were coming and the disk is gone.

Eugene Kittridge:
Are you intact?

Ethan Hunt:
The disk is gone, did you....DO YOU READ ME? THE LIST IS IN THE OPEN!

Eugene Kittridge:
Listen, I read you. Let's just bring you in safely, then we'll worry about that, okay? Were you followed?

Ethan Hunt:
I don't think so. I don't think so.

Eugene Kittridge:
Don't think. Be sure. Are you clean?

Ethan Hunt:
[looks around] Yes.

Eugene Kittridge:
Okay. Location Green, one hour. I'll be there myself.

[Ethan meets Kittridge at a restaurant]

Eugene Kittridge:
I am...I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know how much Jim, in particular, meant to you, Ethan...personally as well as professionally.

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah.

Eugene Kittridge:
Here's a passport, visa. Usual drill. We'll work the exfiltration through Canada, debrief you at Langley. Throw the Prague police a bone or two. You know, toss them a few suspects....You follow me?

Ethan Hunt:
Yeah, I follow.

Eugene Kittridge:
I think we've lost enough agents for one night.

Ethan Hunt:
You mean, I've lost enough agents for one night.

Eugene Kittridge:
You seem hell-bent on blaming yourself, Ethan.

Ethan Hunt:
Who else is left?

Eugene Kittridge:
Yeah. I see your point.

Ethan Hunt:
Why was there another team?

Eugene Kittridge:
What?

Ethan Hunt:
Of IMF agents at the embassy tonight.

Eugene Kittridge:
I don't quite follow you.

Ethan Hunt:
....Well, see if you can follow me around the room. The drunk Russians on the embankment at 7:00 and 8:00...The couple waltzing around me at the embassy at 9:00 and 11:00...The waiter standing behind Hannah at the top of the stairs..Bow tie, 12:00...The other IMF team...You're worried about me. Why?

Eugene Kittridge:
Well, for a little over two years we've been spotting serious blowback in IMF operations. We have a penetration. The other day, we decoded a message on the internet from a Czech we know as Max.

Ethan Hunt:
The arms dealer.

Eugene Kittridge:
That's right...Max, it seems, has two unique gifts, a capacity for anonymity and for corrupting susceptible agents. This time, he'd gotten to someone on the inside. He'd gotten himself in a position to buy our NOC list. An operation he referred to as Job 314, The Job he thought Golitsyn was doing tonight.

Ethan Hunt:
But the list Golitsyn stole was a decoy.

Eugene Kittridge:
That's correct. The actual list is secure at Langley. Golitsyn was a lightning rod. He was one of ours.

Ethan Hunt:
This whole operation was a mole hunt....This whole operation was a mole hunt.

Eugene Kittridge:
Yeah....The mole's deep inside....and like you said.....You survived. I want to show you something, Ethan. Since your father's death your family's farm has been in receivership, and now, suddenly, they're flush with over $120,000 in the bank. Your father's illness was supposed to have wiped out that bank account. Dying slowly in America, after all, can be a very expensive proposition. So...why don't we quietly get out of here and onto a plane? I can understand you're very upset.

Ethan Hunt:
Kittridge, you've never seen me very upset.

Eugene Kittridge:
Alright, Hunt. Enough is enough. You have bribed, cajoled, and killed and you have done it using loyalties on the inside. You want to shake hands with the devil, that's fine with me. I just want to make sure that you do it in Hell.

[Ethan throws explosive gum on a large aquarium in the middle of the restaurant, causing an explosion of water and breaking the window allowing him to escape into the night]

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.]

[Ethan and Claire are recruiting for the mission]

Ethan Hunt:
Simple game. Four players. Exfil opens the pocket, Cyber Ops lifts the wallet.

Franz Krieger:
Bank?

Ethan Hunt:
[shakes his head] IMF mainframe.

Franz Krieger:
Where exactly is it?

Ethan Hunt:
In Langley.

Luther Stickell:
In Langley? The-one-in-Virginia Langley?

Franz Krieger:
Inside CIA headquarters at Langley? [to Claire] Is he serious?

Claire Phelps:
Always.

Franz Krieger:
[scoffs] If we're going to Virginia, why don't we drop by Fort Knox? I can fly a helicopter right in through the lobby and set it down inside the vault. And it would be a hell of a lot easier than breaking into the goddamn CIA.

Luther Stickell:
What are we downloading?

Ethan Hunt:
Information.

Luther Stickell:
What kind?

Ethan Hunt:
Profitable.

Claire Phelps:
Payment on delivery.

Luther Stickell:
[doubtfully] I don't know. I just don't know.

Ethan Hunt:
Well, this doesn't sound like the Luther Stickell I heard of. What'd they used to call you? The Net Ranger? Phineas Phreak? The only man alive who actually hacked NATO Ghost Com.

Luther Stickell:
There was never any physical evidence that I had anything to do with that... with that... [smiles] ...that exceptional piece of work.

Ethan Hunt:
You don't know what you're missing. This is the Mount Everest of hacks.

Luther Stickell:
You're all kidding yourselves. Even with top-of-the-line crypto, Cray access, STU-3's...

Claire Phelps:
[cuts him off] Krieger can get it. [to Krieger] Right?

Franz Krieger:
It may take a little time.

Ethan Hunt:
What the hell do you mean, a little time? That's not what Claire tells me about you.

[Krieger hesitates]

Luther Stickell:
[to Krieger] Thinking Machine laptops? I'm talking about the 686 prototypes, with the artificial intelligence RISC chip.

Franz Krieger:
Twenty-four hours.

Luther Stickell:
[laughs] And, uh, I get to keep the equipment when we're done.

Ethan Hunt:
Well, Luther, I guess you're all out of excuses.

Luther Stickell:
[laughs] Hmm. Look, uh, I just can't hack my way inside. See, there's no modem access to the mainframe. It's in what we call a standalone, which means I'd have to be physically at the terminal.

Ethan Hunt:
Relax, Luther. It's much worse than you think. The terminal is in a black-vault lockdown. [voice-over, the scene goes to William Donloe approaching the door to the computer vault] The only person allowed in the room has to pass through a series of security checks.

CIA Analyst William Donloe:
[to keypad microphone] William Donloe.

Ethan Hunt:
[voice-over] The first is a voice-print identification, and a six-digit access code. [Donloe enters a code; the door opens and he enters an office] This only gets him into the outer room. Next he has to pass a retinal scan. [Donloe removes his glasses and looks into a retinal scanner] And finally, the intrusion countermeasures are only deactivated by a double electronic key card... [Donloe inserts his ID card into a reader; cut to Hunt on the train] ...which we won't have. [Donloe then enters the vault and logs in at the terminal] Now, inside the black vault, there are three systems operating whenever the technician is out of the room. The first is sound-sensitive. Anything above a whisper sets it off. The second system detects any increase in temperature. Even the body heat of an unauthorized person in the room will trigger it if the temperature rises just a single degree. Now, that temperature is controlled by the air conditioning coming in through an overhead duct, 30 feet above the floor. That vent is guarded by a laser net.

[Stickell and Krieger trade uneasy looks; Donloe leaves the vault]

Ethan Hunt:
[voice-over] The third system's on the floor and is pressure-sensitive. [Donloe shuts the door, activating the security systems] The slightest increase in weight will trigger the alarm. And any one of these systems, if set off, will activate an automatic lockdown. Now, believe me when I tell you, gentlemen, all three systems are state-of-the-art.

[A drop of condensation from Donloe's soda cup falls on the floor, triggering the alarm. Cut to the train.]

Luther Stickell:
[After a stunned silence] And you really think we can do this?

[pause]

Ethan Hunt:
We're going to do it.

[holds up his glass] Cheers.

Ethan Hunt:

Luther Stickell:
Hey, I'm the flavour of the month. Why don't you come back with me?

Ethan Hunt:
I just...don't know why I'd be doing it. Better go catch my flight. So, how does it feel to be a solid citizen again?

Luther Stickell:
Man, I don't know. I'm gonna miss bein' disreputable.

Ethan Hunt:
Well, Luther, if it makes you feel any better, I'll always think of you that way.
