Preston: I wonder if we'll ever know, who the hell he really was?
Declan Mulqueen: We know all we need to, he was evil. He's dead, and he's gone. Nothing more matters.

Preston: Did you read the paper today? I'm quite the hero because of you. The agent who saved the first lady. Ha ha. I could screw everything else up for the rest of my life and still be... untouchable.
Declan Mulqueen: That a fact, then?

Preston: Going back to that drop box... An operative with your experience, with a clean passport, a wad of cash... I'll bet... if you had taken off, ha ha, we never would have found you. (01:57:45)

The Jackal: Gonna need a place to test this though. Someplace that won't draw any attention.
Lamont: We got a place like that. We got a place just like that! [Snaps fingers].

Declan Mulqueen: What's her story then?
Preston: Major Koslova... ends the debate about women in combat. As far as I'm concerned.
Declan Mulqueen: How's that?
Preston: When she saved my life and took out Terek's brother. She did it knowing she'd be drawing a death sentence down on her own neck. When we offered to set her up someplace else when this is over... know what she said? 'The good guys don't hide.'
Declan Mulqueen: Fierce woman.
Preston: Huh, in that country? Under that system? Staggering.

Terek Murad: I apologize for keeping you waiting. I had some other business to dispose of. So much wasted time, confusing motion with accomplishment. (00:10:20)

Terek Murad: The M.V.D. killed my brother. For that, I will see they drowned in blood. But their allies in America I wish to send a message... A very public message. I was to strike fear into the marrow of their bones. [Holds out a picture of a target.] Can you kill this person?
The Jackal: Yes.

Preston: He said... "Jackal"?
Russian Officer: Does this mean something to you, Mr. Preston
Preston: There's supposedly a killer for hire who uses that name. Several assassinations are credited to him, but we've never been able to prove if he even exists.

Russian Officer: Terek's men are notoriously hard to turn out. Should we get the opportunity, we must be prepared to conduct the interrogation with the with the utmost efficiency. Good day to you, Mr. Preston.
Preston: Sir. [The officer leaves.] I don't think I wanna know... what that means.

Factual error: Just before Declan and the Jackal start shooting at each other in the subway tunnel, one of the trains starts coming from the opposite direction and begins passing Declan. This train continues to pass him at full speed for a full 35-40 seconds while they shoot it out. Subway trains are not nearly long enough for that. Also, during this time another train comes from behind him and he has to get between them and hold onto the light for a few seconds while they pass. But the second train then passes first while the first one passes fully about 2 seconds after the second one came... and it got there first, by about 15-20 seconds. Subway lines are about the same length as each other as well. But the first one was way longer and way wrong. (01:49:30 - 01:50:05)

Declan Mulqueen: Preston, what about letting me have a gun?
Preston: Are you crazy? If the right people knew I was letting you walk around without cuffs, I'd have forced retirement.
