[closes the doors]
Benjamin Asher: That was inspiring...

Mike Banning: [fighting Kamran] You know what you assholes don't get? We're not a fucking building! We're not a fucking flag! We're not just one man! Assholes like you have been trying to kill us for a long fucking time. But you know what? A thousand years from now, we'll still fucking be here!

Benjamin Asher: That's not funny.

Aamir Barkawi: You think this war, this war that you started, you think it's over? I'll dedicate my life to your death. This war will not end.

Mike Banning: How was your vacation, sir?

Benjamin Asher: Do you trust them?
Mike Banning: Yeah.
[indicating a dead terrorist who was posing as a police officer]

Benjamin Asher: Let me finish. If it comes to it, if it's going to happen...
Mike Banning: Sir...
Benjamin Asher: [cutting him off] Mike. If it comes to it, I want you to kill me. That's an order. I will not be executed for propaganda as my son and the American people see me on fucking YouTube for the rest of their lives.

VP Trumbull: [Barkawi answers the phone in his hideout] I thought you'd take my call.

Benjamin Asher: I was just thinking about my son. He sends me these jokes every day. It's kind of our... I don't know, our thing or...
[chuckles]
Benjamin Asher: a little off color. His mother wouldn't approve, but... I'll tell you something, Mike. These little messages I get from him every day... they mean everything, you'll see.
[pauses]
Benjamin Asher: Most important thing: never criticize, always encourage. You just want them to be passionate. That's what I always tell my son. Find something you care about and care deeply. That and the golden rule: treat others as you'd like to be treated.

VP Trumbull: To those who threaten our freedom: America will rise up. And make no mistake; we will find you, and we will destroy you.

Benjamin Asher: How many do you think died?
Mike Banning: I don't know. A lot.
Benjamin Asher: All those innocent people. Dead, because of me.
Mike Banning: No, not because of you. Because of them. They're trying to kill you, sir. And they've killed all these people just to make everyone else a little more afraid. Well, fuck that and fuck them.

Kamran Barkawi: You should have let us kill him quickly, because now... we're going to kill him slowly.

Aamir Barkawi: London is just the first stop. Just imagine every major city, descending into chaos. Your president dies tonight.

[MI6 Operative "Jax" Marshall confronts treasonous MI5 Intel Chief John Lancaster, the "mole" for international terrorist Aamir Barkawi, in the New Scotland Yard underground garage]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: Next time you wanna leave town after betraying your country, how's about you steal a car to take you to your getaway vehicle? Preferably one without a GPS, 'cause that's just takes all the fun out of it. You forgot to delete your access logs. Your authorization code's there, bright as day. The security cameras show you logging on.
[whispers]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: Just get on the floor.
MI5 Intel John Lancaster: Do I have to tell you this is the most dangerous time since the Great War? They're cutting budgets while the barbarians are at the gate. The system's failing us, Jax. It's broken. You know it as well as I do. Things have to change.
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: So you thought you'd teach us all a lesson?
MI5 Intel John Lancaster: That and 20 Million euros. Come with me, Jax.
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: [undeterred] Get on the fucking floor.
[Lancaster refuses to do so, attempting to walk away. Jax then notices his gun in his suitcase]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: John.
[becomes cross]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: John, get on the floor.
[becomes angrier]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: Get on the floor, John!
[Lancaster still refuses to comply]
MI6 Jacquelin Marshall: [screams] GET ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!
[Jax then shoots Lancaster twice, killing him]
