Quotes
-
Benji Dunn : Let me guess. Presumed dead?
Ethan Hunt : Well tonight, I just made it official.
-
Benji Dunn : [sarcastic] Join the IMF! See the world! On a monitor. In a closet.
-
Ethan Hunt : [Ethan and Benji are in a car which is flying mid-air] You have your seatbelt on?
Benji Dunn : You're asking me that NOW?
-
Benji Dunn : [Ethan wants to drive the car just after he was resuscitated after drowning in a water tank] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you OK to drive? A minute ago you were DEAD!
Ethan Hunt : What are you talking about?
Benji Dunn : [Benji gets in the car] This is not gonna end well.
-
Ethan Hunt : [Ethan is hanging to the side door of the plane] Benji, open the door!
Benji Dunn : Ethan? How did you get in the plane?
Ethan Hunt : I'm not in the plane, I'm ON the plane! Open the door!
Benji Dunn : Yeah, yeah, yeah, right!
[opens the rear door]
Benji Dunn : Ha! How's that?
Ethan Hunt : That's the wrong door!
Luther Stickell : [notices the rear door opened] Not that door, Benji, the other door!
Benji Dunn : Oh, yeah, sorry!
-
Ethan Hunt : The Syndicate is real. A rogue nation, trained to do what we do.
Benji Dunn : An anti-IMF.
-
Ethan Hunt : I can't protect you, that's why I need you to leave.
Benji Dunn : That's not your decision to MAKE, Ethan! I am a FIELD AGENT, I know the risks! More than that, I am your FRIEND, no matter what I tell the polygraph every week! Now you CALLED ME because you needed my help! And you still do! So I am STAYING! And that is all we are gonna say about that!

Lane : [while Benji is strapped to a bomb and Lane demands the ledger] Where is the disc?
Benji Dunn : Where is the disc?
Ethan Hunt : You're looking at it. I am the disc.
-
Benji Dunn : Well, how long will it take to free swim from the intake to the service hatch?
Ilsa Faust : Two minutes, with the current at full power.
Benji Dunn : Then you just have to hold your breath for two minutes.
Ethan Hunt : What about installing the security profile?
Benji Dunn : Well, that's gonna be, like, a minute, tops.
Ethan Hunt : So I have to hold my breath for *three* minutes.
Benji Dunn : [cavalierly] You can do that.
Ilsa Faust : What I think you're overlooking is the physical exertion. The more you exert yourself, the faster you consume oxygen.
Benji Dunn : Don't worry about him, all right? All he has to do is install the fake profile before I get to the gait analysis. You said it yourself, it's the only way.
[chuckles]
Benji Dunn : That doesn't sound "impossible".
-
Benji Dunn : If you're going to bring me all this way, you could at least give me something a bit more, you know, dramatic.
Ethan Hunt : Benji, we're trying to keep a low profile. You want drama, go to the opera.
-
Ethan Hunt : So the key to crushing Lane is sitting in a computer, just waiting for someone to take it.
Benji Dunn : So, why hasn't Lane just sent someone to steal it?
Ilsa Faust : Oh, he has. He sent me. And I can tell you... it's impossible.

[first lines]
William Brandt : [on the phone] Benji? Benji, do you copy? Benji?
Benji Dunn : [grunts] Shit.
William Brandt : Where is Ethan?
Benji Dunn : [crouching in a field] Uh, I can't talk right now.
William Brandt : The package is on the plane.
Benji Dunn : Yeah, I know. We're currently formulating a plan B. Although, technically, it's a plan C.
William Brandt : This isn't going very well...
Benji Dunn : I am aware of that, Brandt. You're not helping.
William Brandt : Where's Ethan?
Benji Dunn : I don't know. We're on radio silence.
William Brandt : That plane cannot take off with the package on it. Do you understand?
Luther Stickell : [interjecting] We're working on it.
William Brandt : Luther? What the hell are you doing there? You're supposed to be on assignment in Malaysia!
Luther Stickell : I *am* in Malaysia. I've been here two days. Benji needed my help.
Benji Dunn : I didn't need help. I just needed assistance. It's a different thing.
William Brandt : [miffed] The package is still on the plane.
-
William Brandt : We good?
Ethan Hunt : Things got a little out of hand.
Benji Dunn : [becomes conscious] Wow! look out!
-
Luther Stickell : So what do we do now?
Ethan Hunt : Please tell me you made a copy of that disk.
Benji Dunn : Of course I made a copy.
William Brandt : So where are we going?
-
Ilsa Faust : One more time. You'll have three minutes. Two and a half minutes to switch the security profile. Thirty seconds to escape through the service hatch.
Benji Dunn : Remember, conserve oxygen. Don't move a muscle if you don't have to.
-
Ethan Hunt : What's happening?
Luther Stickell : I can't open it.
Ethan Hunt : What do you mean, you can't open it?
Luther Stickell : I mean I can't open it, ever.
Benji Dunn : That's a red box?
William Brandt : A what?
Ethan Hunt : It's a red box. The British government uses them to transport state secrets.
William Brandt : Doesn't sound good.
Benji Dunn : Meaning it's triple-encrypted. You're not getting into that thing unless you have fingerprints, retinal scan, and a voice phrase spoken by a specific individual.
Ethan Hunt : The Prime Minister of Great Britain himself.
Benji Dunn : Yes, him.
William Brandt : So what you're saying is there is no ledger, which means we have no proof that the Syndicate even exists. So we're back to square one, only now we are all wanted by CIA. I'm so proud of us.
Benji Dunn : What I don't understand is why is there a red box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?
Luther Stickell : And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?
Benji Dunn : If Lane wants it, you can bet he has a plan to open it. Ah, and we just helped him steal it.
Luther Stickell : He's going to take the Prime Minister.
Ethan Hunt : Yes, he is. The question is how.
-
Benji Dunn : What the fuck? She tried to shoot me!
Ethan Hunt : That doesn't make her a bad person.
-
Benji Dunn : [coming down to Ilsa and Ethan] You see? What did I tell you? Difficult? Absolutely. But certainly not... Jesus. Is he all right? What happened?
-
Ilsa Faust : Unfortunately, even if you could make it through every other security measure, you won't beat the last one.
Benji Dunn : So what you're saying is, no mask can beat it. We're busted before we even get into the vault and I wind up in a Moroccan jail playing mummies and daddies with Ahmad the Strangler.
-
Ethan Hunt : The show's about to start, Benji.
Benji Dunn : Right.
Ethan Hunt : Just take your position. Tell me what you see.
Benji Dunn : Okay.
Ethan Hunt : Nice tux, by the way.
[Benji looks around trying to find Ethan]
-
Benji Dunn : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay to drive? A minute ago you were dead.
Ethan Hunt : What are you talking about?
Benji Dunn : This is not going to end well.

[the team attempts to open the data package they stole]
Ethan Hunt : What's happening?
Luther Stickell : I can't open it.
Ethan Hunt : What do you mean you can't open it?
Ethan Hunt : I mean I can't open it, ever.
Benji Dunn : That's a red box.
William Brandt : A what?
Ethan Hunt : It's a red box. The British government uses them to transport state secrets.
William Brandt : Doesn't sound good.

William Brandt : So what you're saying is there is no ledger, which means we have no proof that the Syndicate even exists. So we're back to square one, only now we're all wanted by the CIA.
[sarcastically]
William Brandt : I'm so proud of us.
Benji Dunn : What I don't understand is why is there a red box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?
Luther Stickell : And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?
Benji Dunn : If Lane wants it, you can bet he has a plan to open it and we just helped him steal it.
Luther Stickell : He's gonna take the Prime Minister.
Ethan Hunt : Yes, he is. The question is, how?
Benji Dunn : Well, we have to warn the British.
William Brandt : Yeah, MI6.
[pulls out a cellphone]
Ethan Hunt : No, no, Brandt, put down the phone. Let's just think about this for a minute.
William Brandt : We have a responsibility to warn the British government, not gamble with the Prime Minister's life, Ethan! Just so you can beat the guy that has beaten you at every turn!
Ethan Hunt : Is that what you think this is? Brandt? Is that what you think this is?
William Brandt : I think, right now, you're incapable of seeing that there's another way.
Luther Stickell : And sometimes Ethan is the only one capable of seeing the only way.
William Brandt : And if he's wrong, we have Vienna ALL OVER AGAIN!
Ethan Hunt : You don't know him. If he wants something to happen, THERE'S NO PREVENTING IT!
William Brandt : That's why we have to warn the British!
Ethan Hunt : Maybe that's exactly what he wants us to do!
William Brandt : Are you listening to yourself? We're going to warn the British!
Ethan Hunt : No. We're going to find Lane, we're going to get him before he takes the Prime Minister.
William Brandt : [pauses, then slowly puts the phone back in his pocket] Okay. Alright, Ethan. We're going to find Lane. But please tell me. How are we going to do that?
