Kate Macer quotes from Sicario (2015)

Matt Graver

Medellin refers to a time when one group controlled every aspect of the drug trade, providing a measure of order that we could control. And until somebody finds a way to convince 20% of the population to stop snorting and smoking that shit, order's the best we can hope for. And what you saw up there, was Alejandro working toward returning that order.

Kate Macer

Alejandro works for the **** Colombian Cartel.

Matt Graver

He works for the competition. Alejandro works for anyone who will point him toward the people who made him. Us. Them. Anyone who will turn him loose. So, he can get the person that cut off his wife's head, and threw his daughter into a vat of acid. Yeah. That's what we're dealing with.

Kate Macer

What's our objective?

Matt Graver

To dramatically overreact.

Kate Macer

What am I doing here?

Matt Graver

What you're doing here is you're giving us the opportunity to shake the tree and create chaos. That's what this is! In the meantime, just sponge everything up you see. Learn! That's why you're here.

Kate Macer

You used me as bait.

Matt Graver

Nah, you used yourself as bait.

Kate Macer

Are we going to Tucson?

Matt Graver

Yeah, you gotta learn how to sleep on a plane. They let me on the base when you need a ride, don't they?

Reggie Wayne

You okay?

Matt Graver

She's fine.

Reggie Wayne

I didn't ask you.

Matt Graver

And yet I answered...

Reggie Wayne

Look at you. Your eyebrows are a mess.

Kate Macer

No, they're not!

Reggie Wayne

They're like caterpillars, like wild beasts. You're losing weight.

Kate Macer

I'm eating.

Reggie Wayne

Look at you. What is it, one T-shirt a week? At least work on your personal hygiene, huh?

Kate Macer

You sound like my mother.

Reggie Wayne

Maybe I am your mother. First we work on personal hygiene, then we move on to the shopping.

Kate Macer

I just tried to have sex with my hitman.

Alejandro

Nah, he's no assassin. He just wanted to know what you know. They're after us, not you.
