View Quote Leveque: I'll speak with Utami. Buy us some time. [Chuckles at a centipede capturing a beetle] And the passcode?
Winger: Looks like Borislov was too slow.
Leveque: As usual.
Winger: But I finally know what the Taxman looks like, so I'll find him.
Leveque: [A henchman is suffering from wound] What is this?

Leveque: [To Cole] So you're the Taxman. CIA's golden boy. Your pseudonym has generated as much fun as you have. But I know you. I know you because I was you. Disposable.

It is a waste of life. And what are we? Hmm? Instruments. Expendable. We deserve better. [A thug manhandles Cole out of the trunk and holds him up to Leveque] Tell me the passcode and walk away.

Sadie: Credit.
Leveque: No, no. Cash.
Sadie: And until I get it, he doesn't leave my sight.
Winger: Or we just kill you. [Cole is manhandled away]
Sadie: [To Winger] And make your boss the guy who offers big paydays and kills anyone who delivers? [To Leveque] Let me guess. This is the idiot who lost him to begin with.

Winger: Yeah
Leveque: To your face. kill her when you touch down. Get that passcode. I expect that to be open next time I see you. [Walks to vehicle]

Winger: Yes, sir.

View Quote I will follow you until I die.

View Quote László Tóth: Nothing is of its own explanation. Is there a better description of a cube than that of its construction? There was a war on. And yet it is my understanding that many of the sites of my projects have survived. They remain there still in the city. When the terrible recollections of what happened in Europe cease to humiliate us, I expect for them to serve instead as a political stimulus, sparking the upheavals that so frequently occur in the cycles of peoplehood. I already anticipate a communal rhetoric of anger and fear. A whole river of such frivolities may flow undammed. But my buildings were devised to endure such erosion of the Danube's shoreline.
Harrison Lee Van Buren Sr.: What a poetic reply.

View Quote László Tóth: Because they do not want us here.
Erzsébet Tóth: Of course Attila wants us here.
László Tóth: Not Attila.
Erzsébet Tóth: Then who do you mean?
László Tóth: The people here, they do not want us here. Audrey, Attila's Catholic wife, does not want us here! She does not want us here! We are nothing. We are worse than nothing.

View Quote I was 27 years old the first time I died. I remember there was white everywhere. There was war and I felt alive, but really I was dead.

View Quote The real events that have happened to me have been **** up, not my mind!

View Quote Sometimes I think we live through things only to be able to say that it happened. That it wasn't to someone else, it was to me. Sometimes we live to beat the odds. I'm not crazy even though they thought I was. I live in the same world as everyone else. I just saw more of it, as I'm sure you have. They'll find my body tomorrow. You can check it out if you don't believe me. I've seen life after my death, and I'm telling you this because it's the only way to help you and your daughter have a better life of your own. Jean, you're gonna pass out one day smoking a cigarette and burn to death. Your daughter grows up living the same sad life you're living right now. And she misses you so much. Sometimes life can only really begin with the knowledge of death. That it can all end, even when you least want it to. The important thing in life is to believe that while you're alive, it's never too late. I promise you, Jean, no matter how bad things look, they look better awake than they do asleep. When you die, there's only one thing you want to happen. You wanna come back.

Noah Percy: No, no hitting.
Ivy Walker: Do you promise to keep this deal secret?
Noah Percy: Like a church mouse.
[They shake hands. Ivy points to her cheek. Noah kisses it]
Ivy Walker: The deal is struck.
