You Know His Nametaglines

Jason Bourne

[edit]
  • [first lines] I remember. I remember everything.
  • The next bullet's in your head!
  • I volunteered because I thought our enemies killed him. I volunteered because of a lie.
  • You were never here.
  • [in response to Heather Lee's offer to rejoin the CIA] Let me think about it.

Heather Lee

[edit]
  • Let me in. I'll deliver Parsons, the files and, if he's out there, I'll give you Bourne, too.
  • I watched Bourne with those files. Desperately looking into his past and... I think he's at a tipping point. If I could get face to face with him. I think I can bring him back in. One attempt. And if it fails, you do what you have to.
  • It wasn't supposed to be like this, I wanted to talk.
  • You don't have to go after him. This can stop now. You have a choice...

Robert Dewey

[edit]
  • I appreciate your enthusiasm. But do not push your personal agenda to the DNI again.
  • I have no idea why he came back. But whatever he's doing, he wants to destroy us. We can't let that happen. So you give us a call as soon as you hear anything.
  • Jason, your dad was a patriot. He could see the threats that America was facing and, like you, he chose to serve his country out of a profound sense of duty. He would not want to see you harm the Agency. You have to stop this, and you have to stop it now.
  • Better get some sleep, kid. You got a long 24 hours ahead of you.
  • You're too naive to see the truth, there's no bringing in Bourne. He has to be put down. And you obviously cannot do what has to be done.
  • You didn't come here for revenge. You came here because you know it's time to come in.

The Asset

[edit]
  • Bourne betrayed us; it's always been personal.
  • You're a traitor. You've always been a traitor. It's in your blood.

Others

[edit]
  • Nicky Parsons: You've tortured yourself for a long time now, Jason. You've tortured yourself for what you've done. You don't know the truth about what they did to you. You need to read those files.
  • Albert Hirsch, quoted in a report on Bourne: When Bourne broke from the Program, he left behind a key component of his identity. In effect, he left behind his reason to exist. In my estimation Bourne will never find peace out in the cold. Eventually he will reach a tipping point. In those circumstances, if played right Bourne could be brought back into the Program.
  • Richard Webb: Listen to me, David. I've done something. Something... that came at a cost. One day, you'll understand why.
  • Aaron Kalloor: When I was starting out, I, ah... I took money to start my company, made a bargain with a guy in a dark suit, and now he's come back to take my soul.

Dialogue

[edit]
CIA Director Robert Dewey: I need your help now.
The Asset: I'm not finished here.
Dewey: Jason Bourne is in play.
The Asset: ...Where?
Jason Bourne: I told you, Christian Dassault is going to get you killed.
Nicky Parsons: We don't have a choice, Jason. It started again. A new program. Iron Hand. It's even worse than before.
Bourne: What's that got to do with me?
Nicky: Because it matters. It matters.
Bourne: Not to me, it doesn't. All that matters is staying alive. You get off the grid, survive.
Nicky: I don't believe that and neither do you. Look at yourself. Look at what you're doing. You can't live like this for much longer.
Dewey: Our enemies have become much more sophisticated. Gathering metadata is no longer adequate. We need a back-door into your new program and a way past the encryptions...
Aaron Kalloor: And when that's not enough, you'll want something new. You-You don't get it, do you? Privacy is-is-is freedom. I mean, maybe that's something you should think about defending?
Dewey: You little prick. You didn't believe in privacy or freedom when we funded your start-up, turned you into a billionaire.
Aaron: I-I've paid you back many, many, many times over. And I was never comfortable with any of this. I'm out. I'm done selling out our customers.
Dewey: But you would sell out your country. The truth is, we wouldn't be having this conversation if you didn't feel personally at risk. You talk about a free internet, you tell yourself you're saving the world, but all you're doing is making the internet a much more dangerous place, and you're sure as hell making this country much more difficult to defend. And you are sure as hell accountable for that, Aaron. Accountable.
Christian Dassault: We should work together, Bourne. You exposed the Blackbriar program. We're both after the same thing, right? We both want to take down the corrupt institutions that control society.
Bourne: I'm not on your side.
Aaron: This is Dewey.
Baumen: Aaron, it's a message. And maybe we should think about what we're doing before it gets any worse.
Aaron: So you-you think if we give him what he wants, it'll end there?
Baumen: I'm just saying that maybe we should listen.
Dewey: There's an opportunity for something else. This isn't about revenge.
The Asset: Yes, it is. And it won't be done until one of us is dead.
Heather Lee: I can help you get there.
Bourne: Why would you do that?
Lee: You and I have different reasons, but we both want Dewey gone.
Aaron: How are you enjoying life at the Agency?
Lee: Challenging, but fulfilling.
Aaron: Tough to stick to all your principles over there?
Lee: My principles are just fine, thanks.
Dewey: Your father created the program. Didn't have what it takes to make it work, and you did. You always did. That's why you volunteered.
Bourne: I volunteered because I thought our enemies killed him. I volunteered because of a lie.
Dewey: No, you volunteered because of who you are. You volunteered because you are Jason Bourne and not... David Webb.
[Enraged, Bourne pushes Dewey up against the wall of the hotel room, holding a gun to the older man's chest.]
Dewey: Thirty-two kills, Jason. Every one of 'em made a difference. People all across this country are safer because of what you did.
Bourne: I'm tr-- I'm trying to find another way.
[Dewey looks at the gun.]
Dewey: Ha! And how's that working out for you? You're never gonna find any peace. Not until you admit to yourself who you really are. It's time to come in, Jason. It's time to come in...
Bourne: I can't. Not for you.
Lee: I have his trust. After what we went through. I'll bring him in. I'm certain of it.
Director NI Edwin Russell: And if you can't?
Lee: Then he'll have to be put down.
