Simon : [in a Chinese restaurant] Did you read the papers yesterday?
Helen Tasker : [whispers] Yes.

Simon : Hardly worth talking about. Two of them won't bother me again.
Gib : Unbelievable!
Helen Tasker : You chased one?
Simon : Something came over me. I just had to nail this guy no matter what the risk. Pretty hairy. I thought he had me a couple of times. But I can't take credit.
Helen Tasker : Why not?
Simon : It's the training. It shapes you into a lethal instrument. You react in a microsecond without thinking.
Gib : [laughing] I'm startin' to like this guy.
[Harry gives him a mean look]
Gib : [gets serious] We still gotta kill him. That's a given. You know.

Maybe you should give me your tele...

Helen Tasker : Harry!

Helen Tasker : [confessing on why she wants to go with Simon to Paris] I wanted to do something outrageous, and it felt really good, to be needed, and to be trusted. It's just there's so much I want to do with this life and it feels that I haven't done any of it. You know, the sand is running out of the hourglass, and I want to look back and say, see, I did that, that was me, I was reckless and I was wild, and I fucking did it.
