A scene from Mission: Impossible 1996

Jim Phelps: Any questions?

Ethan Hunt

Yeah. Could we get a cappuccino machine in here? 'Cause I don't know what you call this.

Jack Harmon

I call it cruel and unusual.

Claire Phelps

Hey, I made that coffee.

Ethan Hunt

Exactly. Is it possible that it's any worse than the sludge you made in that barn in Kiev?

Claire Phelps

[sarcastically]

Thank you.

Jim Phelps

Take it easy on my wife's coffee.

Ethan Hunt

We missed you in Kiev, Jim.

Jim Phelps

Missed you too, Ethan.

Jack Harmon

You're off on one of your cushy recruiting assignments again?

Ethan Hunt

Yeah, where did they put you up this time? The Plaza?

Jim Phelps

Drake Hotel, Chicago.

Jack Harmon

Ooh! Punishing! 24-hour room service!

Ethan Hunt

Yeah, chauffeured cars.

Jack Harmon

Fat expense accounts.

Ethan Hunt

He's getting soft in his old age.

Jack Harmon

Yes he is, look at him.

Jim Phelps

All right. Now, listen, if that list gets out into the open, the names of all our agents in every country in Eastern Europe will be up for grabs to the highest bidders. Third World terrorists, arms dealers, drug lords, any and everybody who'd love to get rid of long-term coverts like us. If they're exposed, they'll be executed. So, I'll run the whole show from the crow's nest here. Everyone knows their roles. Let's punch out the details.
