Sean Harris Quotes

Confronting Morality and Motivation in Conflict

Benji: [reciting what Lane is telling him over his earpiece] Human nature -- my weapon of choice.

Lane: From the moment I killed the young lady in the record shop, I knew you would...

Benji: [reciting what Lane is telling him over his earpiece] ...stop at nothing to catch me. I also knew Ilsa wouldn't have a choice. Whether she broke you that night you met or let you go, whether you let her run in Morocco, whether you went to Atlee or not...

Ethan: You were certain we'd end up where we are, right now. Then again... so was I. I know you, Lane. Somewhere along the line, you had a crisis of faith. Human life didn't matter any more. Or maybe it never really did. Either way, you killed too many innocent people without ever asking who was giving the orders, or why. You blame the system for what you are, instead of yourself. You wanted revenge. But Rome wasn't destroyed in a day. You needed help, you needed money -- a lot of it. And you'll stop at nothing to get it. That's how I know I'm gonna put you in a box.

Contrasting Approaches to Terrorism and Influence

Erika Sloane: You use a scalpel. I prefer a hammer.

Solomon Lane: Terrorists are schoolboys desperate for attention, hoping to shape public opinion through fear. I don't care in the least what people think or feel. In my experience, they don't do either for very long.
