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 and 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?

• (to Conklin) 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!

Marie Kreutz

• (Jason is repeatedly pressing the buzzer for his apartment) I guess you're not home.

• Nobody does the right thing.

Other

• Conklin: I want Bourne in a body bag by sundown.

• Professor: Look at this. Look at what they make you give.

Dialogue

Giancarlo [ship's doctor]: What's this? You tied these knots? So it starts to come back, eh?

Bourne: No, it doesn't start to come back. The knots, like everything else, I just found the rope and I did it.

Abbott: I was recalling a conversation we had some time ago, talking about Treadstone. I seem to remember Nykwana Mombosi's name might have come up.

Conklin: I'm not sure what we're talking about.

Abbott: Someone tried to take him out. Tried, and failed. Was this Treadstone?

Conklin: You're asking me a direct question?

Abbott: Yes.

Conklin: I thought you were never gonna do that.

Abbott: What happened?

Conklin: Well… we, uh, lost communication with our man.

Abbott: This was almost two weeks ago.

Conklin: We've been working 'round the clock, the whole unit. We've been sleeping down there. Believe me, we're doing everything we can.

Abbott: And you don't let me know this?

Conklin: You never wanted to before.

Abbott: You never made a mistake before.

Marie: With you, you'll probably just forget about me if I stayed here.

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

Bourne: This your store?

Marie: Yeah.

Bourne: It's nice. A little hard to find, but...

Bourne: Think I can rent a scooter?

Marie: You have ID?

Bourne: (Bourne smiles) Not really.

Ward Abbott: Well, so far, you've given me nothing but a trail of collateral damage from Zurich to Paris. I don't think I could do much worse.

Conklin: Well, why don't you go upstairs and book a conference room? Maybe you can talk him to death.
