The Safe House - Wiretaps

Sydney: You want me to talk to her again.
Kendall: Mr. Sark has assumed control of your mother's operation -
Sydney: Please stop referring to her as my mother.

Kendall: I assume you have an opinion on this, Agent Vaughn.
Vaughn: Uh, I don't have an easy answer on that.
Kendall: I'll take a complicated one.
Vaughn: I can't pretend to hide my bias here. Irina Derevko betrayed this country and killed my father in the process. On the other hand, she is a certifiable Rambaldi expert and probably knows more about the inner workings of global organized crime than any other person in U.S. custody. Having said that, I believe that Agent Bristow and I were effectively countering SD-6 before Derevko turned herself in and I stand behind whatever she decides.

Jack: I want your help in devising a strategy to persuade Sydney not to interact with her mother.
Barnett: Why?
Jack: Because Irina Derevko is an opportunistic sociopath who'll use whatever inroads she can make with my daughter to get what she wants.
Barnett: But have you considered that the more you'll keep her from her mother, the more you're going to spark her interest.
Jack: Of course I have. Which is why I'm hoping to devise a strategy with the necessary subtlety.
Barnett: Well, I'm sorry, but I am not in the habit of helping a father manipulate his daughter. No matter how good his intentions may be.
Jack: I see. And is your opinion here based on what's best for Sydney, or for the agency? Because the fact is if Sydney doesn't talk to Laura, the CIA learns nothing.
Barnett: So you still think of her as Laura, even though that was her alias.

Marshall: Okay, once you get through the launch site to the exhaust ducts, just press this button right here and... voila!
Sydney: It's empty.
Marshall: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. Totally forgot to tell you - real deal - not done yet. But tomorrow when you open up this briefcase you will be looking at a high performance hydraulic luge.
Sydney: How fast can I go?
Marshall: About 150, which should get you through the launch facility's 2 mile ducts in about, ooh, 12 seconds. Oh, you want to make sure you get out of there as fast as you can after you're done wiring the circuit board into the satellite because if you're stuck in the ducts when the rocket launches, then...well...boom. And I'd miss you.

Will: Did you ever give her a picture frame? It was, like, an antique. She said it was from somebody at work and it was probably just another way to contact her...right?
Vaughn: No, actually, that was just a gift.

Marshall: Right, now, I know, I know, this looks like 20 miles of frozen tundrocity, right? Well, take a look at it through the terahertz imaging camera.
Sydney: The symbol of Rambaldi.
Marshall: Yeah. Now what the statellite's looking at are subglacial caverns under the ice.
Dixon: Are you saying it's a natural formation?
Marshall: Well, beats me. I'm really... Without actual core samples, I can't say anything except, you know, wow.

Dixon: Watch your step. If you fall through the ice, it'll freeze over in four seconds.
Sydney: Good to know.

Irina: I've had this picture of your face in my mind for twenty years. I remember a loving husband, generous man, patriot. I may have been under orders to fabricate a life with you, but there were times when the illusion of our marriage was as powerful for me as it was for you, especially when Sydney was born. Looking at you now, I see that illusion is finally gone.
Jack: I want to make something very clear to you. There are people here who believe you can repay the debt you owe this country through your continued cooperation. I am not one of them. And if Sydney, in any way, becomes victim to your endgame, I will kill you. She spent most of her life believing you were dead; she'll get used to it again. No matter what bond you try to forge with her.
Irina: You haven't told her what you did to her after I disappeared. Have you?
