Ethan Hunt

  • There's no nations on this one. There's no rival ideologies, no dogma. It's who keeps their head and who panics.
  • Just... keep telling yourself: "It's only pain."
  • [to Benji] Take care of your team.
  • [to Sloane] You ran the CIA, you know psychological warfare. Well, you see it! Just look around! We are in the Entity's reality!
  • I need you to trust me, one last time.
  • Hagar! You spend too much! Time! On the internet!

Gabriel

  • Stealing the Rabbit's Foot was just one event in a lifelong pattern, repeating itself over and over: For every life he's tried to save, he's gambled millions more, doubling down and down again. And now the fate of every living soul on Earth is his responsibility. [to Ethan] You must be exhausted.
  • [last words] Only one of us has a parachute! Good luck!

Luther

  • It's always good to see you on the right side of the grass.
  • [last words] Gabriel, you son of a bitch... No one is safe from Phineas Phreak.
  • You've always been on the right side, brother. Always. Never forget, our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices. I have no regrets. Neither should you.
  • [posthumous message] Hello, brother. If you're listening to this, the world is still here and so are you. For the record, I never had a moment of doubt. I knew you'd find a way. You always do. I hope, in time, you can see this life is not some quirk of fate. This was your calling. Your destiny. A destiny that touches every living thing. Like it or not, we are masters of our fate. Nothing is written. And our cause, however righteous, pales in comparison to the impact of our effect. Any hope for a better future comes from willing that future into being. A future reflecting the measure of good within ourselves.And all that is good inside us is measured by the good we do for others. We all share the same fate — the same future. The sum of our infinite choices. One such future is built on kindness, trust, and mutual understanding, should we choose to accept it. Driving without question towards a light we cannot see. Not just for those we hold close, but for those we'll never meet. I hope you know I'll always love you, brother. And I will see you again, though I hope it's not too soon. The world still needs you. Of course, they'll never know it, but we do. We, who live and die in the shadows. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Ethan.

Others

  • President Sloane: Good evening, Ethan. This is your President. Since you won't reply to anyone else, I thought I'd reach out directly. First, I want to thank you for a lifetime of devoted and unrelenting service; were it not for the tireless dedication of you and your team, the Earth would be a very different place. It might not even be here at all. Every risk you've taken, every comrade you've lost in the field, every personal sacrifice you made, has brought this world another sunrise. It's been 35 years since circumstances brought you to us and you were given the choice -- since the IMF saved you from a life in prison. And though you never followed orders, you never let us down. You were always the best of men in the worst of times. I need you to be that man now.
  • The Entity: The choice is yours: The Entity's future, or no future at all.
  • Briggs: It's a shame about your friend. Then again... you're used to losing 'em.
  • Grace: Mr. Donloe, Bill, even if we could tell you the truth, you wouldn't believe it. I wouldn't. The heart of the matter is that we need access to all your SOSUS data from late-winter 2012, otherwise the world will cease to exist in a few days.
  • Bledsoe: Mister. If you wanna poke the bear... Oh, you've come to the right man.
  • Koltsov: I have no one. Not even a dog.
  • Kitteridge: Right now, the President of the United States is preparing to vaporize millions upon millions of souls, all because Ethan here doesn't believe that anyone can safely control the Entity. Does that sound sane? To anyone?

Dialogue

Luther Stickell: [referring to the safe house] Sorry about the decor; the Ritz was booked solid.
Ethan Hunt: Well, some drapes, a few throw-pillows, and...
Benji Dunn: Yeah! Mini-bar?
Ethan / Benji / Luther: Foosball table!
Ethan: You just bought yourself a world of trouble, Grace.
Grace: The whole world's in trouble, Ethan. You're the only one I trust to save it.
Ethan: You think I'm gonna get the source code and bring it to you?
Gabriel: I don't think, I know. I'm gonna let you go, then you're gonna find the Entity's source code and bring it to me in exchange for Grace. Then I'll take control of the Entity -- the proverbial genie you let out.
Luther: ...the Rabbit's Foot.
Benji: The Anti-God?!
Gabriel: It wasn't a biological or a chemical weapon you took from Shanghai. The vial you traded for Julia contained malicious code. The primordial digital ooze from which a weapon evolved. A weapon the East couldn't make work. A weapon the West might never have made on their own.
Benji: You didn't know what you were stealing! None of us did!
Ethan: But I knew why I was stealing it. They kidnapped my wife. Stealing the Rabbit's Foot was the only way I could get her back. I sank that submarine as much as the Entity did.
Gabriel: Without you, Ethan, there'd be no Entity. And if you don't find that sub in the next few days...
Grace: It's the end of the world as we know it.
Gabriel: And it'll all be his fault. He knows it. [to Ethan] Look at me. Tell me I'm wrong.
[Paris has just tried to shoot Gabriel]
Degas: We talked about this!
Benji: Ethan wants him alive!
Paris: I want him dead.
Benji: ...She's gonna be the death of me.
Luther: What are we gonna do? Retire? Go fishing? This is my mission. This is what I was born to do.
Ethan: Luther, I can't-- I can't...
Luther: There's nothing you need to say, brother. I know. I know. I'm right where I wanna be.
Bledsoe: Mister... without our decompression chamber, you'll die for sure.
Ethan: Sir, your decompression chamber was never part of our plan.
Bledsoe: Oh. Okay. What exactly is your plan?
William Dunloe: We haven't been formally introduced. I'm--
Ethan: William Donloe. Langley. We met thirty years ago... Almost.
Dunloe: So you're him.
Ethan: I understand I owe you my life. I don't know how to make amends for what I've done to yours.
Dunloe: That's a matter of perspective, friend. If you hadn't broken into the vault thirty years ago, I'd probably still be there. I'd probably even think I was happy. I never would've found the only home that's ever brought me peace and I certainly never would've met the woman I love. There's nothing to be sorry about. I owe you my life.
Gabriel: You're beat, Ethan. If not today, some other place. Some other time. As long as I have this, wherever I go, you will follow. And the Podkova will come to me. That is written.
Ethan: Nothing is written.
Gabriel: I'm not sure Luther would agree. Now, tell me I win.
Ethan: ...You win.
Gabriel: I like the sound of that. Say it again.
Benji: Do either of you have any medical experience?
[Grace shakes her head "no". Benji looks to Paris.]
Paris: I kill people.
Benji: Yeah, I can work with that.
