Memorable Quotes from Rolf Saxon
2 quotesPlanning a Complex Operation with Multiple Players
Ethan Hunt
Simple game. Four players. Exfil opens the pocket, Cyber Ops lifts the wallet.
Franz Krieger
Bank?
Ethan Hunt
IMF mainframe.
[shakes his head]
Franz Krieger
Where exactly is it?
Ethan Hunt
In Langley.
Luther Stickell
In Langley? The-one-in-Virginia Langley?
Franz Krieger
Inside CIA headquarters at Langley? Is he serious?
[to Claire]
Claire Phelps
Always.
Franz Krieger
If we're going to Virginia, why don't we drop by Fort Knox? I can fly a helicopter right in through the lobby and set it down inside the vault. And it would be a hell of a lot easier than breaking into the goddamn CIA.
[scoffs]
Luther Stickell
What are we downloading?
Ethan Hunt
Information.
Luther Stickell
What kind?
Ethan Hunt
Profitable.
Claire Phelps
Payment on delivery.
Luther Stickell
I don't know. I just don't know.
[doubtfully]
Ethan Hunt
Well, this doesn't sound like the Luther Stickell I heard of. What'd they used to call you? The Net Ranger? Phineas Phreak? The only man alive who actually hacked NATO Ghost Com.
Luther Stickell
There was never any physical evidence that I had anything to do with that... with that... ...that exceptional piece of work.
[smiles]
Ethan Hunt
You don't know what you're missing. This is the Mount Everest of hacks.
Luther Stickell
You're all kidding yourselves. Even with top-of-the-line crypto, Cray access, STU-3's...
Claire Phelps
Krieger can get it. Right?
[cuts him off; to Krieger]
Franz Krieger
It may take a little time.
Ethan Hunt
What the hell do you mean, a little time? That's not what Claire tells me about you.
Luther Stickell
Thinking Machine laptops? I'm talking about the 686 prototypes, with the artificial intelligence RISC chip.
[to Krieger]
Franz Krieger
Twenty-four hours.
Luther Stickell
And, uh, I get to keep the equipment when we're done.
[laughs]
Ethan Hunt
Well, Luther, I guess you're all out of excuses.
Luther Stickell
Hmm. Look, uh, I just can't hack my way inside. See, there's no modem access to the mainframe. It's in what we call a standalone, which means I'd have to be physically at the terminal.
[laughs]
Ethan Hunt
Relax, Luther. It's much worse than you think. The terminal is in a black-vault lockdown. The only person allowed in the room has to pass through a series of security checks.
[voice-over, the scene goes to William Donloe approaching the door to the computer vault]
CIA Analyst William Donloe
William Donloe.
[to keypad microphone]
Ethan Hunt
The first is a voice-print identification, and a six-digit access code. This only gets him into the outer room. Next he has to pass a retinal scan. And finally, the intrusion countermeasures are only deactivated by a double electronic key card... ...which we won't have. Now, inside the black vault, there are three systems operating whenever the technician is out of the room. The first is sound-sensitive. Anything above a whisper sets it off. The second system detects any increase in temperature. Even the body heat of an unauthorized person in the room will trigger it if the temperature rises just a single degree. Now, that temperature is controlled by the air conditioning coming in through an overhead duct, 30 feet above the floor. That vent is guarded by a laser net.
[voice-over; Donloe enters a code; the door opens and he enters an office; Donloe removes his glasses and looks into a retinal scanner; Donloe inserts his ID card into a reader; cut to Hunt on the train; Donloe then enters the vault and logs in at the terminal]
Ethan Hunt
The third system's on the floor and is pressure-sensitive. The slightest increase in weight will trigger the alarm. And any one of these systems, if set off, will activate an automatic lockdown. Now, believe me when I tell you, gentlemen, all three systems are state-of-the-art.
[voice-over; Donloe shuts the door, activating the security systems]
Luther Stickell
And you really think we can do this?
[After a stunned silence]
Ethan Hunt
We're going to do it.

A Life Debt Acknowledged
William Donloe
We haven't been formally introduced. I'm--
Ethan
William Donloe. Langley. ]
[[Mission: Impossible (film)|We met thirty years ago... Almost.]
Donloe
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.
Donloe
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.
