A scene from Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One 2023
Kitteridge

I understand, you're upset...

Ethan

I'm not upset, Kitteridge. You wanted me to listen. This is me listening.

Kittridge

Alright. I put the bounty on Ilsa's head. I also told you how to find her. But I didn't make her steal the key. She did that for reasons of her own. But that's the pattern, isn't it? You helped her out of trouble, and she always found her way back. I'm not gonna apologize to you, Hunt. It's my job to use you, just like it's your job to be of use. Did you accomplish your mission or not?

Ethan

Wherever the other half of this is, whatever the completed key unlocks, I will find it.

Kittridge

And then what?

Ethan

No-one should be trusted with control of the Entity. I mean to kill it.

Kittridge

Ethan, the next World War isn't gonna be a cold one, it's gonna be a shooting one. It's gonna be a ballistic war over a rapidly shrinking ecosystem. It's gonna be a war for the last of our dwindling energy, drinkable water, breathable air. Whoever controls the Entity controls the truth. The concepts of right and wrong can be clearly defined for everyone, for centuries to come.

Ethan

Do you even hear yourself?!

Kittridge

Your days of fighting for the so-called "greater good" are over. You need to pick a side.

Ethan

I'm on the same side I've always been on. Stay out of my way.

Kittridge

I can't do that. We're gonna be coming after you. The world's gonna be coming after you. And one way or another, this mission of yours is gonna cost you... dearly.
