Sunshine (2007) as Pinbacker

View Quote For seven years I spoke with God. He told me to take us all to Heaven.

Zero Dark Thirty (2012) as George

View Quote I want to make something absolutely clear. If you thought there was some secret cell somewhere working al-Qaeda, I want you to know that you are wrong! This is it. There's no working group coming to the rescue. There's nobody else hidden away on some other floor. This is just us. And we are FAILING. We're spending billions of dollars. People are dying. We're still no closer to defeating our enemy. They attacked us on land in '98, by sea in 2000, and from the air in 2001. They murdered three thousand of our citizens in cold blood, they've slaughtered our forward deployed. And what the **** have we done about it? What have we done? We have twenty leadership names and we've only eliminated four of them. I want targets! Do your **** jobs! Bring me people to kill!
View Quote Steve: [in CIA conference room, where he and Maya are about to meet with the CIA Director and his Deputies] They're gonna ask: "If bin Laden is at the end of this rainbow, is the Pak military with him?
Maya: The question isn't "Are the Paks protecting bin Laden?" The question is "Would he allow himself to be protected by the Paks?" I mean, why would he trust them? He tried to kill Musharaf. [CIA Director and his Deputies walk in]
CIA Director: Go ahead.
Steve: [gesturing over a map of Pakistan] If you take a right out of Islamabad and drive about forty-five minutes north, you'll find yourself here, in Abbottabad. A middle class community, some ex-military, not particularly interesting to us. Except we did find this compound, which is unique. We got a sixteen foot wall around the entire perimeter, the windows are blacked out. It's a fortress.
CIA Director: Can't you put a camera somewhere, in the trees, to get a look into the main house?
George: It will probably be discovered.
CIA Director: We have to get a look into the house. Alright, what's this? This cluster of buildings down here?
George: The PMA — the Pakistan Military Academy. It's their West Point.
CIA Director: And how close is that to the house?
George: About a mile.
Maya: 4,221 feet. It's close to eight-tenths of a mile.
CIA Director: Who are you?
Maya: I'm the mother****er who found this place, sir.
CIA Director: [pause] Really. [pause] I want to know more about who's inside this house by the end of the week. [CIA Director and his Deputies leave, leaving only Maya and Steve in the room]
Steve: [sarcastically] "Mother****er?" Good.
View Quote General: [about stealth helicopters] I actually tried to kill this program a couple of times. They've gone through an initial round of testing, and they have excellent radar defeat - we just haven't tested them with people in them yet. You'll notice these stealth panels, similar to what we use on the B2. The rotors have been muffled with decibel killers. It's slower than a Black Hawk and lacks the offense. But it can hide.
Justin: Excuse me. Can I ask a question? What do we need this for in Libya? Gaddafi's anti-air is virtually non-existent.
George: Gentlemen, can I have your attention? My name is George, I run the Af-Pak division at CTC, and I'm primary on this for the Agency. This is a title fifty operation. Some of us have worked together before. This is a good one. Maya, do you want to brief them?
Maya: There are two narratives about the location of Osama bin Laden. The one that you're most familiar with is that UBL is hiding in a cave in the Tribal Areas, that he's surrounded by a large contingent of loyal fighters. But that narrative is pre-9/11 understanding of UBL. The second narrative is that he's living in a city. Living in a city with multiple points of egress and entry, and with access to communications so that he can keep in touch with the organization. You can't run a global network of interconnected cells from a cave. We have located an individual we believed, based on detainee reporting, is bin Laden's courier. He's living in a house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. And we assess that one of the other occupants of the house is UBL.
[several SEALs look skeptical]
Justin: Excuse me. You got an intel source on the ground?
Maya: No.
Justin: No? Okay, so how do you know it's bin Laden? Cause the truth is, we've been on this op before, it was '07, and it wasn't bin Laden, and we lost a couple of guys.
Maya: Totally understand, Bin Laden uses a courier to interact with the outside world. By locating the courier, we've located bin Laden.
Patrick: That's really the intel? That's it?
Maya: Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys, with your dip and your velcro and all your gear bullshit. I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb, so they're using you guys as canaries, on the theory that if bin Laden isn't there, you can sneak away and no one will be the wiser. But bin Laden is there, and you're going to kill him for me.

Body of Lies (2008) as Hani

View Quote Roger Ferris: Hani Pasha
Hani: Pasha? That is an Ottoman term.
Roger Ferris: I hear you like it sir.
View Quote Roger Ferris: I thought you didn't believe in torture, Hani Pasha.
Hani: This is punishment, my dear. It's a very different thing.
View Quote Ferris: I invented Omar Sadiki. It was my operation. He is not a jihadist, all right? I moved him around, I moved money around, and then I lost him.
Hani: That is impossible.
Ferris: Why?
Hani: Because it will mean that you sat in my office and you lied to my face.
Ferris: Hani, I promise I will share all the information with you, all right? But they have kidnapped a friend of mine in order to get to me. Now, you know exactly who I'm talking about, Hani. Please, they're gonna execute her, all right? Please, help me broker a deal, her for me.
Hani: You lied to me. I will not help you. The answer is no.

Kick-Ass (2010) as Frank D'Amico

View Quote [in mockingly childish falsetto] Mommy! I want a Kick-Ass party! [in normal voice] Dumb little ****s.
View Quote come.
View Quote Frank D'Amico: [fighting Hit-Girl] Ruin my business, huh? Kill every single **** guy on my payroll?! [picks up gun] God, I wish I had a son like you. [points gun at Hit-Girl] Time for a family reunion.
Dave/Kick-Ass: Hey! [Frank looks up to see Kick-Ass holding a bazooka] Why don't you pick on somebody your own size? [blasts Frank out of the window]

RockNRolla (2008) as Archy

View Quote People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the **** lot.
View Quote Junkies, as any junkie will tell you, are not to be trusted. They take what doesn’t belong to them, not because they’re thinking, but because they’re junkies.
View Quote Archy: Bandy, you ever ask a stupid question like that again, see Danny there? He's gonna slap you.
Bandy: Sorry Arch, I was, I was just trying to use initiative.
Archy: Danny, slap him.
[Danny slaps Bandy]
Archy: With the right, Danny, properly.
[Danny slaps Bandy]
Archy: No, no, no, no. Come on, do it properly, with the back of the right hand.
Danny: What is this, a tennis match, Arch?
Archy: Slap him.
[Danny slaps Bandy]
Archy: [Muttering angrily] Oh, for fu... Like this. [Slaps Bandy, who stumbles] Now if you can master a slap like that, there's no need for your clients to hold back. They will open up like a fountain, full of words. No need for strong violence, no no; they're transported back to their childhoods. Putty, in your hands; ask Bandy. Look. Thinks he's back at school. [Bandy is biting his lip childishly]
Danny: But he never went to school, Arch.
Archy: You want a slap as well, Daniel? Eh? Now, if a slap don't work, you cut 'em or you pay 'em, but you keep your receipts, cos this ain't the Mafia.

The Imitation Game (2014) as Stewart Menzies

View Quote Stewart Menzies: [candidates are taking a timed test] Six minutes... is that even possible?
Alan Turing: No, it takes me eight.
[Joan Clarke raises her hand]
Alan Turing: You're finished?... Five minutes forty-eight seconds.
Joan Clarke: You said to finish under six minutes.
View Quote Stewart Menzies: Oh, Alan... we're gonna have such a wonderful war together.
View Quote [Alan and Joan meet with Menzies to tell him about keeping the decrypted Enigma intercepts secret]
Stewart Menzies: Why are you telling me this?
Alan Turing: We need your help, to keep this a secret from Admiralty, Army, RAF, uh...as no one can know, that we've broken Enigma, not even Dennison.
Stewart Menzies: Who's in the process of having you fired.
Joan Clarke: You can take care of that.
Alan Turing: While we develop a system to help you determine how much intelligence to act on. Which, uh, attacks to stop, which to let through. Statistical analysis, the minimum number of actions it will take, for us to win the war - but the maximum number we can take before the Germans get suspicious.
Stewart Menzies: And you're going to trust of this all to statistics, to maths?
Alan Turing: Correct.
Joan Clarke: And then MI6 can come up with the lies we will tell everyone else.
Alan Turing: You'll need a believable alternative source for all the pieces of information that you use.
Joan Clarke: A false story, so that we can explain how we got our information, that has nothing to do with Enigma, and then you can leak those stories to the Germans.
Alan Turing: And then to our own military.
Stewart Menzies: Maintain a conspiracy of lies at the very highest levels of government. [Lights a cigarette]...Sounds right up my alley.
