Kittridge
- [from trailer]
- Eugene Kittridge: Your days of fighting for the so-called greater good are over. This is our chance to control the truth. The concepts of right and wrong for everyone for centuries to come. You're fighting to save an ideal that doesn't exist. Never did. You need to pick a side.
- [last lines]
- Eugene Kittridge: [voice-over] We cannot escape the past. Some of us are doomed to repeat it. Grace may believe you saved her from her fate, but you and I both know you merely bought her time. But that's the pattern, isn't it? A cross you've been left to bear. The closer someone gets to you, the harder it is to keep them alive.
- Benji Dunn: [seeing Ethan parachute down] Thank God.
- Eugene Kittridge: [voice-over, continued] A new day brings a new burden. The key is only the beginning. Wherever it leads, wherever it takes to get there, you'll have to do it on your own. Should you fail in your mission, the Entity wins. Gabriel wins. And the world will pay the ultimate price. Should any members of your team be caught or killed, their sacrifice will have been in vain. So hurry. There isn't much time. The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan.
- [from trailer]
- Eugene Kittridge: Our lives are the sum of our choices. And we cannot escape the past. Ethan, this mission of yours is going to cost you... dearly.
- Eugene Kittridge: [To Ethan Hunt, while deep inside the secure intelligence facility] How do you plan on getting out of here?
- [Looks over to see Ethan putting on a "Kitterige" mask]
- Eugene Kittridge: Of course.
- Eugene Kittridge: The next war isn't going to be a cold war, it'll be a shooting war, a ballistic war ; over a rapidly-dwindling eco-system. The last of the world's energy, drinkable water, breathable air.
- Eugene Kittridge: [Last lines, voiceover] The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan.
- Eugene Kittridge: [Warning Ethan Hunt about the bounty hunters chasing Isla] They never bring their fugitive back alive, and rarely in one piece.
- Eugene Kittridge: [Ethan throws a gas grenade making everyone sleep except Kittridge who has a gas mask, Ethan takes off his mask and sits in front of Kittridge] I understand. You're upset.
- Ethan Hunt: I'm not upset, Kittridge. You wanted me to listen. This is me listening.
- Eugene Kittridge: All right. I put the bounty on Ilsa's head. I also told you how to find her! And i didn't ask her to steal the key. She did that for reasons her own. But that's the pattern, isn't it? You get her out of trouble and she always found her way back in.
- Ethan Hunt: [a flashback is shown where Ethan looks at Ilsa's unconscious corpse, however, she wakes up and begins to attack him] Wait! Ilsa. Ilsa, wait! wait! wait! It's me.
- [Ethan caresses Ilsa's neck and notices that the key hangs on her neck]
- Ethan Hunt: It's okay.
- [Ethan hugs Ilsa, hands her the key, and Ilsa puts on a bandana and gets on a horse. Ethan starts shooting to buy Ilsa time]
- Ethan Hunt: Listen to me! You're dead! You stay dead!
- Ilsa Faust: Ethan, wait!
- [Ethan starts shooting to Ilsa's horse]
- Eugene Kittridge: [Back in present Ethan continues to sit across from Kittridge] I'm not going to apologize to you, Hunt. It's my job to use you. Just like it's your job to be use. Did you accomplish your mission or not?
- Ethan Hunt: Wherever the other half of this is, whatever the completed key unlocks, I will find it.
- Ethan Hunt: And then what?
- Ethan Hunt: No one should be trusted with the control of the Entity. I mean to kill it.
- Eugene Kittridge: Ethan, the next world war isn't gonna be a cold one. It's gonna be a shooting war, a ballistic war over a rapidly shrinking ecosystem. It's gonna be a war for the last of our dwindling energy, drinkable water, breathable air. Whoever controls the Entity controls the truth. The concepts of right and wrong can be clearly defined for everyone for centuries to come.
- Ethan Hunt: Do you even hear yourself?
- Eugene Kittridge: Your days of fighting for the so-called greater good are over. You need to pick a side.
- Ethan Hunt: I'm on the same side I've always been on. Stay out of way.
- Eugene Kittridge: We're gonna be coming after you. The world's gonna be coming after you. And one way or another this mission of yours is going to cost you... dearly.
- [the phone starts ringing]
- Eugene Kittridge: If I don't get that, we're gonna have company real soon.
- [Ethan nods for Kittridge to answer the phone]
- Eugene Kittridge: [Kittridge answers the phone] Hello?
- Adjutant: Director Denlinger, please.
- Eugene Kittridge: Director is unavailable at the moment, How can I help you?
- Adjutant: To whom am I speaking

- Adjutant: Sir, we have a situation.
- Eugene Kittridge: Not kidding.
- Adjutant: Your adjutants was found unconscious in his home ten minutes ago. It appears he was drugged.
- Eugene Kittridge: I understand.
- Adjutant: I don't think you do, sir. Security has him entering this facility 15 minutes ago.
- Eugene Kittridge: I understand, thank you.
- Adjutant: Are you able to speak freely?
- Eugene Kittridge: No, thank you.
- Adjutant: A security team is on their way. If you're in any danger, simply hang up the phone before I count to five. One, two...
- Eugene Kittridge: [to Ethan Hunt, while deep inside the secure intelligence facility] How do you plan on getting out of here?
- [Looks over to see Ethan putting on a "Kitteridge" mask]
- Eugene Kittridge: Of course.
- [Ethan fires a tranquilizer dart at Kittridge]
