Evelyn Salt: My name is Evelyn Salt.
Orlov: Then you are a Russian spy.
Trivia: In the scene where Salt jumps off the subway, the dark and heavily guarded station is supposed to be the 51st Street Station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line in Manhattan, the nearest station to St. Bartholomew's Church.
