Instructions and Consequences in Mission Execution
Mission Commander Swanbeck
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 Assignment for Mr. Hunt
Mission Commander Swanbeck
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 team member be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Nordoff-Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your assignment. As always, should you or any member of your I.M. Force 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.

Recruiting a Thief for Intelligence Gathering
Mission Commander Swanbeck
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.
Ethan Hunt
And then what?
Mission Commander Swanbeck
Make sure she continues to see him, gets him to confide in her, and report to you.
Ethan Hunt
You made it sound as if I was recruiting her for her skills as a thief.
Mission Commander Swanbeck
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.
Ethan Hunt
No. She's got no training for this kind of thing.
Mission Commander Swanbeck
What? To go to bed with a man and lie to him? She's a woman, she's got all the training she needs.

Misguided Priorities in a High-Stakes Mission
Ethan Hunt
I would've thought the hardest part was curbing that pressing need of yours to get your gun off. You were in such a hurry to knock off that 747 that you never figured out where Chimera really was. Then you knew the only way that Nekhorvich could smuggle the live virus is by injecting himself and using his own bloodstream as a Petri dish. You knew that while you were knocking him off, destroying the very thing you came for.
