Mr. Hunt, this isn’t mission difficult, it’s mission impossible. “Difficult” should be a walk in the park for you.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
You turned around.
– Ethan Hunt
What are you going to do? Spank me?
– Nyah Nordoff-Hall
You know women, mate. Like monkeys, they are – won’t let go of one branch until they’ve got hold of the next.

Ethan, Nyah’s in the building. Do you copy?

Thank you.

You were under specific instructions to bring back a living sample of the Chimera virus. I’d be very interested to know how, after you’d managed its recovery intact, it subsequently got destroyed.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
By fire. That’s the best way, really.
– Ethan Hunt
This is what’s known as getting your gun off.
– Sean Ambrose
Good morning, Mr. Hunt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the recovery of a stolen item designated “Chimera.” You may select any two team members, but it is essential that the third member of your team be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your assignment. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. And Mr. Hunt, the next time you go on holiday, please be good enough to let us know where you’re going. This message will self-destruct in five seconds.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
I let you know where I’m going, I won’t be on holiday.
– Ethan Hunt
In just a few hours you can be assured of going down in history as the typhoid Mary of “Aus”. G’day.
– Sean Ambrose
You keep calling me Dimitri. You really shouldn’t.
– Sean Ambrose
You are not Dimitri?
– Dr. Nekhorvich
No.
– Sean Ambrose
Put a sock in it.
– Sean Ambrose
Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires: A villain.

If you look at Hunt’s operational history, and I have, you’ll notice that he invariably favors misdirection over confrontation.

We just rolled up a snowball and tossed it into hell. Now lets see what chance it has.

We’ve got 19 hours and 57 minutes. I’ll get Bellerophon into your system by then. Just stay alive. I’m not going to lose you.
– Ethan Hunt
After saving her from the door she was hanging on from the cliff below, now his sitting in the car Don’t you think we should wait a decent interval?
– Ethan Hunt
Who wants to be decent?
– Nyah Nordoff-Hall
Ms. Hall and Ambrose had a relationship which he took very seriously… she walked away and he’s been wanting her back ever since. We believe she’s our surest and quickest way of locating him.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
And then what?
– Ethan Hunt
Make sure she continues to see him, gets him to confide in her, and report to you.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
You made it sound as if I was recruiting her for her skills as a thief.
– Ethan Hunt
Well then I misled you, or you made the wrong assumption. Either way, we are asking her to resume her prior relationship – not do anything she hasn’t already done… voluntarily, I might add.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
No. She’s got no training for this kind of thing.
– Ethan Hunt
What? To go to bed with a man and lie to him? She’s a woman – she’s got all the training she needs.
– Mission Commander Swanbeck
You’re not gonna shoot me Sean, not this BITCH, cuz she’s worth thirty seven, million pounds.

– Dr. Nekhorvich
…all I need to hear.
– Ethan Hunt
You… BITCH!
– Sean Ambrose
The satellite doesn’t work as fast as I do.
