3rd most-quoted character in The Bourne Legacy (2012): in 3 of its 13 quotes
A line from Eric ByerWe are the sin eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us, so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible, and absolutely necessary.
Eric Byer We're here talking about a serious infection, and all we're trying to do is determine how far it's spread so that we know how much we have to cut to save the patient. You have never heard of Treadstone. And Bourne -- I don't care if they bag him and drop the body on the sidewalk, we're not gonna touch it.
With all due respect, sir, now's not the best time. Twenty minutes, this place is gonna fall apart.
Eric Byer I'm aware of that. I'll take the chance. We need to talk. I need you to stop what you're doing and turn around. That's an order. We got screwed on the intel, okay? Nobody knew those people were in there. It would be perfectly normal for a person to have doubts about the morality of what we just asked you to do.
Is that a question, sir?
Eric Byer No, it's not. Tune in to what I'm trying to say to you. Do you know what a sin eater is? [Aaron mouths no] Well, that's what we are. We are the sin eaters. It means that we find the moral excrement that we find in this situation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our cause can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary. You understand?
