Jason Bourne (2016) quotes

View Quote Aaron Kalloor: When I was starting out, I, ah... I took money to start my company, made a bargain with a guy in a dark suit, and now he's come back to take my soul.

View Quote Aaron: How are you enjoying life at the Agency?
Lee: Challenging, but fulfilling.
Aaron: Tough to stick to all your principles over there?
Lee: My principles are just fine, thanks.

View Quote Aaron: This is Dewey.
Baumen: Aaron, it's a message. And maybe we should think about what we're doing before it gets any worse.
Aaron: So you-you think if we give him what he wants, it'll end there?
Baumen: I'm just saying that maybe we should listen.

View Quote Christian Dassault: We should work together, Bourne. You exposed the Blackbriar program. We're both after the same thing, right? We both want to take down the corrupt institutions that control society.
Bourne: I'm not on your side.

View Quote CIA Director Robert Dewey: I need your help now.
The Asset: I'm not finished here.
Dewey: Jason Bourne is in play.
The Asset: ...Where?

View Quote Dewey: Our enemies have become much more sophisticated. Gathering metadata is no longer adequate. We need a back-door into your new program and a way past the encryptions...
Aaron Kalloor: And when that's not enough, you'll want something new. You-You don't get it, do you? Privacy is-is-is freedom. I mean, maybe that's something you should think about defending?
Dewey: You little prick. You didn't believe in privacy or freedom when we funded your start-up, turned you into a billionaire.
Aaron: I-I've paid you back many, many, many times over. And I was never comfortable with any of this. I'm out. I'm done selling out our customers.
Dewey: But you would sell out your country. The truth is, we wouldn't be having this conversation if you didn't feel personally at risk. You talk about a free internet, you tell yourself you're saving the world, but all you're doing is making the internet a much more dangerous place, and you're sure as hell making this country much more difficult to defend. And you are sure as hell accountable for that, Aaron. Accountable.

View Quote Dewey: There's an opportunity for something else. This isn't about revenge.
The Asset: Yes, it is. And it won't be done until one of us is dead.

View Quote Dewey: Your father created the program. Didn't have what it takes to make it work, and you did. You always did. That's why you volunteered.
Bourne: I volunteered because I thought our enemies killed him. I volunteered because of a lie.
Dewey: No, you volunteered because of who you are. You volunteered because you are Jason Bourne and not... David Webb.
[Enraged, Bourne pushes Dewey up against the wall of the hotel room, holding a gun to the older man's chest.]
Dewey: Thirty-two kills, Jason. Every one of 'em made a difference. People all across this country are safer because of what you did.
Bourne: I'm tr-- I'm trying to find another way.
[Dewey looks at the gun.]
Dewey: Ha! And how's that working out for you? You're never gonna find any peace. Not until you admit to yourself who you really are. It's time to come in, Jason. It's time to come in...
Bourne: I can't. Not for you.

View Quote Heather Lee: I can help you get there.
Bourne: Why would you do that?
Lee: You and I have different reasons, but we both want Dewey gone.

View Quote Jason Bourne: I told you, Christian Dassault is going to get you killed.
Nicky Parsons: We don't have a choice, Jason. It started again. A new program. Iron Hand. It's even worse than before.
Bourne: What's that got to do with me?
Nicky: Because it matters. It matters.
Bourne: Not to me, it doesn't. All that matters is staying alive. You get off the grid, survive.
Nicky: I don't believe that and neither do you. Look at yourself. Look at what you're doing. You can't live like this for much longer.

View Quote Lee: I have his trust. After what we went through. I'll bring him in. I'm certain of it.
Director NI Edwin Russell: And if you can't?
Lee: Then he'll have to be put down.

View Quote Nicky Parsons: You've tortured yourself for a long time now, Jason. You've tortured yourself for what you've done. You don't know the truth about what they did to you. You need to read those files.

View Quote Richard Webb: Listen to me, David. I've done something. Something... that came at a cost. One day, you'll understand why.

View Quote [first lines] I remember. I remember everything.

View Quote [in response to Heather Lee's offer to rejoin the CIA] Let me think about it.
