The Target (2009)

Olivia Williams: Adelle DeWitt

Quotes 

• Adelle DeWitt : In their resting state, our actives are as innocent and vulnerable as children. We call it the tabula rasa, the blank slate. Now imagine the imprint process filling it. Creating a new personality, a friend, a lover, a... confidante in a sea of enemies. Your heart's desire made flesh. And when the engagement has been completed, all memory of you and your time together will be wiped clean.

• Adelle DeWitt : Our company policy requires a small additional fee against any unforseen complications.

  [Shows Richard the new fee. Richard coughs] 

  Richard O'Connell : Small, huh?

  Adelle DeWitt : To my employers, very.

  Richard O'Connell : Well if this girl's everything you promised, it'll be worth it.

  Adelle DeWitt : Just make sure you return her safe and sound otherwise, there will be... additional costs.

  Richard O'Connell : I'll keep it low key.

• Adelle DeWitt : In the light of recent events, we've decided to engage individuals with a more, shall we say, intensive background. If you're amenable to the terms of your contract, you will be assigned to Echo, one of our most requested actives.

  Boyd Langdon : What happened to her last handler?

  Dr. Claire Saunders : [Dr. Saunders enters]  You're standing in him.

  [Boyd notices the dried pool of blood he's standing on]
