The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

Jason Bourne: Do you even know why you're supposed to kill me? Look at us. Look at what they make you give.

Martin Kreutz: Where's my sister?
Jason Bourne: Why don't you sit down.
Martin Kreutz: Where is she?
Jason Bourne: She's dead. She was killed. I'm sorry.
Martin Kreutz: I knew it was going to end this way. It was always going to end this way.
Jason Bourne: I didn't believe that.
Martin Kreutz: And how did she die?
Jason Bourne: She was shot. We were together in India. He came for me.
Martin Kreutz: Did you kill him?
Jason Bourne: [after a long pause] Yes.
Martin Kreutz: And now what?
Jason Bourne: Someone started all this, and I'm going to find them.

Jason Bourne: Who's your source? What's his name? What's your source's name?
Simon Ross: Look, what's going on? Why are these people after me?
Jason Bourne: Because you found something. You talked to someone, inside Treadstone, someone who was there at the beginning. Who is it?
Simon Ross: You know I can't tell you that.
Jason Bourne: You have no idea what you're into here. These people will kill you if they have to.
Simon Ross: Was it Blackbriar? Is that what this is?
Jason Bourne: Blackbriar? What's Blackbriar?
Simon Ross: Treadstone upgrade. My source told me it all started with you. He said that you were square one, the dirty little secret. He says that he knows who you are.
Jason Bourne: Alright, we have to move. Answer your phone.

Noah Vosen: Nicky, I need you to stay put and secure the premises. Backup will be arriving in approximately one hour. Do you copy?
Nicky Parsons: Copy sir.
[Noah hangs up phone]
Jason Bourne: How long do I have?
Nicky Parsons: Three minutes.

Jason Bourne: They'll kill you for giving me this.
Pamela Landy: 4/15/71 isn't much of a code. I guess Vosen is on his way already.
Jason Bourne: Why'd you do it?
Pamela Landy: This isn't what I signed up for. What they did to you. Blackbriar. This isn't us.
Jason Bourne: Then do something about it. Everything you need is in there.
[hands Landy a bag]
Jason Bourne: Everything.
Pamela Landy: David. Why don't you come in with me? It'll be better if we do this together.
Jason Bourne: No. This is where it started for me. This is where it ends.

[after Jason has killed Desh, the assasin sent after him and Nicky]
Jason Bourne: [throws Desh's cell phone to Nicky] Code it in. We need to be dead.

Dr. Albert Hirsch: You haven't slept for a long time now. Have you made a decision? This can't go on. You have to decide.
Jason Bourne: Who is he?
Dr. Albert Hirsch: We've been through this.
Jason Bourne: What did he do?
Dr. Albert Hirsch: It doesn't matter.
[walks over to Bourne and leans down]
Dr. Albert Hirsch: You picked us. You volunteered. You said that you would do what it takes to save American lives. You're not a liar, are you? Or too weak to see this through? This is it. Let go of David Webb. Will you give yourself to this program.
[Bourne, after a short pause, stands up and shoots a hooded man to death]
Dr. Albert Hirsch: You're no longer David Webb. From now on you'll be known as Jason Bourne. Welcome to the program.

Jason Bourne: Why did you pick me?
Dr. Albert Hirsch: You really don't remember, do you? We didn't pick you. You picked us. You volunteered. Right here. Right here, even after you were warned.

Jason Bourne: I remember. I remember everything. I'm no longer Jason Bourne.
Dr. Albert Hirsch: So now you're going to kill me.
Jason Bourne: No. You don't deserve the star they give you on the wall at Langley.

Noah Vosen: [in car, on cell phone] Perhaps we can arrange a meet.
Jason Bourne: Where are you now?
Noah Vosen: I'm sitting in my office.
Jason Bourne: I doubt that.
Noah Vosen: Why would you doubt that?
Jason Bourne: If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.
[Bourne hangs up]

Jason Bourne: You didn't actually think I was coming to Tudor City did you?
Noah Vosen: No, I guess not, but if its me you wanted to talk to perhaps we could arrange a meet?
Jason Bourne: Where are you now?
Noah Vosen: I'm sitting in my office.
Jason Bourne: I doubt that.
Noah Vosen: Why do you doubt that?
Jason Bourne: Because, if you were sitting in your office, we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.

Jason Bourne: Why are you helping me?
Nicky Parsons: It was difficult... for me... with you. You... really don't remember, do you?
Jason Bourne: No.

Jason Bourne: Get some rest Pam, you look tired.
Noah Vosen: He's looking right at her.

Jason Bourne: [to a surrendering Russian police officer] My argument is not with you.

Jason Bourne: [Nicky is about to get on a bus to depart] It gets easier.

Simon Ross: Oh, the bin man. I think he's one of them.
Jason Bourne: The garbage man? Negative.
Simon Ross: Oh, Jesus. Jesus! He's reaching for something.

Jason Bourne: You didn't really think I was coming to Tudor City, did you?
Noah Vosen: No. I guess not.

The Bourne Identity (2002)

Jason Bourne: How could I forget about you? You're the only person I know.

[during a car chase]
Jason Bourne: So...
Marie: What?
Jason Bourne: ...we got a bump coming up.
[drives the car down a flight of stairs]

[last lines]
Marie: Do you have ID?
Jason Bourne: Not really.

Jason Bourne: Who has a safety deposit box full of... money and six passports and a gun? Who has a bank account number in their hip? I come in here, and the first thing I'm doing is I'm catching the sightlines and looking for an exit.
Marie: I see the exit sign, too, I'm not worried. I mean, you were shot. People do all kinds of weird and amazing stuff when they are scared.
Jason Bourne: I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

Marie: ...it was amazing. It was just amazing for about three months, until it turned out that this uh, jerk, who had fronted us the lease was actually shining everyone on and...
[Stops. Pause]
Jason Bourne: And what?
Marie: What do you mean, what. Listen to me; I, I've been speed talking for about sixty kilometers now. I, I talk when I'm nervous, I mean, I, I talk like this when I'm nervous. I'm gonna shut up now.

Giancarlo: [Picking up an intricately done knot of rope] What's this? You tie these knots? So it starts to come back, huh?
Jason Bourne: No, it doesn't start to come back. The knot's like everything else, I just found the rope and I did it. The same way I can, I can read, I can write. I can add, subtract. I can make coffee. I can shuffle cards. I can set up a chessboard.

Jason Bourne: Everything I found out, I want to forget.

Jason Bourne: I don't wanna know who I am any more.
Marie: Shh.
Jason Bourne: I don't care. I don't wanna know.
Marie: Come on, we'll...
Jason Bourne: Everything I found out, I wanna forget.
Marie: It's okay.
Jason Bourne: I don't care who I am or what I did.
Marie: It's okay.
Jason Bourne: We have this money. We can hide. Could we do that? Is there any chance you can do that?
Marie: [pause] I don't know. Come on.

Jason Bourne: Whatever we do, we have to do it together. We have to...
Marie: We? The only thing we had in common was that neither one of us knew who you were! We are past that now.
Jason Bourne: Marie! Listen to me! The police will find us, and the people who took that picture, the people who killed Wombosi, they are going to come here and they will kill us.
Marie: The people you work for!
Jason Bourne: I will take you wherever you need to go. I will take you there, and I will leave you there. You can do whatever you want, you never have to see me again. But not here. If we stay here, we die.

Jason Bourne: Is this your store?
Marie: Yeah.
Jason Bourne: It's nice. A little hard to find.

Conklin: Let's ask Marie what she wants to do.
Jason Bourne: Actually, I don't think she gives a shit. She's dead.
Conklin: I'm sorry to hear that. How did that happen?
Jason Bourne: She was slowing me down.

Jason Bourne: Who am I?
Conklin: You're U.S. Government property. You're a malfunctioning $30 million weapon. You're a total goddamn catastrophe, and by God, if it kills me, you're going to tell me how this happened.

Jason Bourne: You sent me to kill Wombosi.
Conklin: Kill Wombosi? We can do that any time we want. I can send Nikki to do that, for Chrissakes. Mr. Wombosi was supposed to be dead three weeks ago. He was supposed to have died in a way where the only possible explanation was that he'd been murdered by a member of his own entourage. I don't send you to kill. I send you to be invisible. I send you because you don't exist.

Jason Bourne: I don't want to do this anymore.
Conklin: I don't think that's a decision you can make.
Jason Bourne: Jason Bourne is dead, you hear me? He drowned two weeks ago. You're gonna go tell 'em that Jason Bourne is dead, you understand?
Conklin: Where are you gonna go?
Jason Bourne: I swear to God, if I even feel somebody behind me, there is no measure to how fast and how hard I will bring this fight to your doorstep. I'm on my own side now.

Jason Bourne: You move, you die.
Conklin: Bourne.
Jason Bourne: Gun down.

Jason Bourne: [talking to Conklin] I told you to come alone, but I guess that was too hard. So try this- I'm gone.
[hangs up cell phone]

The Bourne Supremacy (2004)

[last lines]
Jason Bourne: Get some rest, Pam. You look tired.

Nicky: They know you were there.
Jason Bourne: Stop, stop! A weeek ago, I was 4,000 miles away, in India, watching Marie die. They came for me, and they killed her instead. This ends now.

Nicky: Jason, please don't hurt me.
Jason Bourne: What were my words? What did I say? I said leave me alone.
Nicky: Jason I know, I told them I believed you.
Jason Bourne: I'm gonna ask you some simple questions. You're gonna tell me the truth or I swear to God I'm gonna kill ya.

Nicky: He was trying to sell out a mole or something, but you got to him first.
Jason Bourne: [surprised] I killed him?

Marie: Because sooner or later, you remember something good.
Jason Bourne: I do remember something good. All the time.

Jarda: Word in the ether was you'd lost your memory.
Jason Bourne: You still should have moved.

Pamela Landy: What if I can't find her?
Jason Bourne: It's easy. She's standing right next to you.

Nicky: [panicking while being interrogated by Bourne] Your first assignment was in Geneva...
Jason Bourne: [slams Nicky against a wall] You fucking people!

Jason Bourne: We dont have a choice.
Marie: Yes you do.

Jason Bourne: You killed Marie.
Ward Abbott: *You* killed Marie. The moment you got into her car. The moment you entered her life, she was dead.

Jason Bourne: She wouldn't want me to.
[in reference to Marie, as he stands over Abbott with a gun in his hand as if to kill him]
Jason Bourne: That's the only reason you're alive.
[Bourne brings his hand down, revealing he was holding a tape recorder to Abbott's head]
