Wesley Gibson quotes from Wanted (2008)

Wesley Gibson

I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me.

Wesley Gibson

You know there are people, beautiful people, you just wish they could see you in a different setting, a different place. Instead of where you are, what you've become. But most of all, you wish you weren't such a pussy, for wishing for things that'll never change.

Wesley Gibson

Now I know why I could never care about anything before this. I was living a lie.

Wesley Gibson

Do you make sweaters, or do you kill people?

Wesley Gibson

To Sloan, when first being informed about the Weavers.

Wesley Gibson

SHUT THE **** UP!!!

Wesley Gibson

I don't know why I'm here!

Wesley Gibson

I don't know who I am!

Wesley Gibson

What did he do to deserve to die? You don't know. I didn't know if he was bad. I didn't know if he was evil. I didn't know anything about him. We get orders from a loom — Fate. And we're supposed to take enough faith in what we're doing is right. Killing someone we know nothing about. I don't know if I can do that.

Wesley Gibson

After killing his first target.

Wesley Gibson

Have you ever thought about doing things differently?

Wesley Gibson

To Fox, after killing his first target.

Wesley Gibson

Fate wanted YOU dead. And you couldn't take it.

Wesley Gibson

To Sloan.

Wesley Gibson

Six weeks ago I was ordinary and pathetic just like you. Who am I now? Account manager? Assassin? Just another tool who was mind-**** into killing his father? I am all of these. I am none of these. Who am I now?

Wesley Gibson

This is not me following my destiny. This is not me following in my father's footsteps. This is definitely not me saving the world. ... This is not me. This is just a mother-**** decoy.

Wesley Gibson

This is me taking control — from Sloan, from the Fraternity, from Janice, from billing reports, from ergonomic keyboards, from cheating girlfriends and sack-of-shit best-friends. This is me taking back control — of my life. [Breaks the fourth wall, turning to gaze at the audience] What the **** have you done lately?

Janice

Jesus H. ****in' Popsicle, I still don't have my billing reports, but you've got time to sit there and Google your ass off. Well I know one thing: [smugly] You've got your review coming up next week, and I can't wait to start checking me off some big [clicking stapler loudly] **** boxes! Attitude: [Click] Poor. Performance: [Click] Poor. Management skills: [Click] Poor. Works well with others? Hah! That's a **** joke. [Looks at Wesleys computer] What is this bullshit; who's this prick? Some loser gets his head blown off in the Metropolitan-

Wesley

SHUT THE **** UP!!! [gets up and walks a lap around the office] [To colleagues] She has ONE, SINGLE iota of tenuous power! She thinks she can just push everyone around?! [Comes back to a shocked Janice, snatches stapler from her, holds it up] You don't need this. [Throws it against cubicle wall, smashing it] [Leans in close to Janice, whispers] I understand. [Stands to full height] Junior High must've been kinda tough, but it doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit, Janice. I know we laugh at you, Janice. We all know you keep your stash of jelly donuts in the top drawer of your desk. [Kneels down] I want you to know: that if you weren't such a bitch, we'd feel sorry for you. I do feel sorry for you. But as it stands, the way you behave, I feel I can speak for the entire office when I tell you... Go **** yourself. [Stands up, takes his keyboard walks out]

Barry

Yeah, that was great bro! Who's the man?

Wesley

I'm the man.
