Robert Dewey quotes from Jason Bourne (2016)

Robert Dewey

I have no idea why he came back. But whatever he's doing, he wants to destroy us. We can't let that happen. So you give us a call as soon as you hear anything.

Robert Dewey

Jason, your dad was a patriot. He could see the threats that America was facing and, like you, he chose to serve his country out of a profound sense of duty. He would not want to see you harm the Agency. You have to stop this, and you have to stop it now.

Robert Dewey

Better get some sleep, kid. You got a long 24 hours ahead of you.

Robert Dewey

You're too naive to see the truth, there's no bringing in Bourne. He has to be put down. And you obviously cannot do what has to be done.

Robert Dewey

You didn't come here for revenge. You came here because you know it's time to come in.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
