Quotes
-
Julia Meade-Hunt : So, how is he?
Luther Stickell : Oh, you know, same old Ethan.

Luther Stickell : In all the years that I've known Ethan he's only been serious about two women. One was his wife.
Ilsa Faust : He's married?
Luther Stickell : No, he was.
Ilsa Faust : Was? What happened to her?
Luther Stickell : Well, she was taken by some people who wanted to get to Ethan. It's OK. He got her back in one piece. Then he quit the game. They were happy for a while. But every time something bad happened in the world Ethan would think: I should have been there. And she would wonder: Who's watching the world while Ethan is watching me? Deep down they both knew that someday, somehow, something truly terrible was going to happen. All because they were together. So...
Ilsa Faust : Where is she now?
Luther Stickell : She's a ghost. Good at it too. Taught her myself. Every now and then she sends up a signal to let Ethan know she's safe. And that keeps him going.
Ilsa Faust : Why are you telling me this?
Luther Stickell : [tearfully] We're in this mess because Ethan wouldn't let me die. He's a good man. And he cares about you. More than he can admit. That's one more worry than he can handle right now. If you care about him, you should walk away.

Luther Stickell : Did you say "helicopter"? What the hell are you doing in a helicopter?

Luther Stickell : Wire strippers.
Julia Meade-Hunt : I'm a doctor, not an electrician.
Luther Stickell : Sorry, the thing with the green grip.
Julia Meade-Hunt : Got it.
Luther Stickell : The wire in my left hand.
Julia Meade-Hunt : The black one?
Luther Stickell : My left hand.
Julia Meade-Hunt : That's your left hand.
Luther Stickell : Sorry, the other wire.
Julia Meade-Hunt : The red one?

Ilsa Faust : Oh, I like her.

Ethan Hunt : [to Delbruuk] Shut up! We don't care about you. We want Lark.
Luther Stickell : What if we make a deal?
Ethan Hunt : No, there's no deal, Luther. Step outside.
[as Ethan walks to Delbruuk to attack, Luther holds him back]
Ethan Hunt : Give me five minutes with this guy.
Luther Stickell : Ethan, I can't let you do that. That's not who we are.
Ethan Hunt : Then maybe we need to reconsider that.
Luther Stickell : What if they read the manifesto on the air?
Nils Debruuk : What? You can do that?
Luther Stickell : We can do it with a phone call.
Nils Debruuk : Well, if he reads Lark's manifesto...
Ethan Hunt : [interrupting] No.
Nils Debruuk : I'll give you the passcode.
