Quotes 

• Dan : It's cool, that you're strong and I respect it, I do. But in the end, everybody breaks, bro. It's biology.

• Dan : Can I be honest with you? I am bad fucking news. I'm not your friend. I'm not gonna help you. I'm gonna break you. Any questions?

• Dan : Did you really think that when we got you, I would be a nice fucking guy?

  Ammar : You're a mid-level guy. You're a garbage man in the corporation! Why should I respect you, huh? Why?

  Dan : And you're a money man. Paperboy. A disgrace to humanity. You and your uncle murdered 3,000 innocent people. Yeah. I have your name on a $5,000 transfer via Western Union to a 9/11 hijacker. And you got popped with 150 kilograms of high explosives in your house! And you dare question me?

  [laughs] 

  Dan : Come on, man, I'm fucking with you.

• Dan : I need a favor.

  Kuwaiti Businessman : Why I should help you?

  Dan : Because we're friends.

  Kuwaiti Businessman : You saying we are friends? How come you only call me when you need help? But when I need something you are too busy to pick up the phone. I don't think we are friends.

  Dan : All right, fair enough. How about a new V10 Lamborghini? How's that for friendship?

• Dan : This is what defeat looks like, bro. Your jihad is over.

• Dan : You know, I can always go eat with some other dude, hang you back up to the ceiling...

• Dan : State your request.

  Maya : Move Heaven and Earth and bring me this fuckng Sayeed's family phone number.

  Dan : Okay, I'll go and talk to "The Wolf."

• Dan : When you lie to me, I hurt you.

• Dan : [to Ammar in reference to Maya]  You don't mind if my female colleague checks out your junk?

• Dan : Partial information will be treated as a lie!

• Dan : [to detainee]  Hey, what do you like? You like a bit of... You guys like a bit of Bob Marley? Bit of reggae? Kick back, take it easy after you've blown some shit up?

• Dan : They killed my monkeys.

• Dan : He's being a dick.

  Joseph Bradley : He's trying to outsmart you. Why don't you tell him about your Ph.D?

• Dan : [to detainee, angrily]  Where's the last time you saw bin Laden?

• [first lines] 

  Dan : I own you, Ammar.

• Maya : Dan, Debbie found Abu Ahmed.

  Dan : Really?

  Maya : Yeah. He's been in the files this whole time. The family's named Sayeed.

  Dan : Okay, but he's, uh, he's dead, so doesn't that make him a little less interesting to you?

  Maya : He may not be. We now know Abu Ahmed is one of eight brothers. All the brothers in the family look alike. Three of them went to Afghanistan. Isn't it possible that when the three eldest brothers grew beards in Afghanistan, they started to look alike? I think the one calling himself Abu Ahmed is still alive. The picture we've been using is wrong. It's of his older brother, Habeeb. He's the one that's dead.

  Dan : Okay, and what are you basing this on?

  Maya : We have no intercepts about Abu Ahmed dying, we just have a detainee who said he buried a guy who looked like Abu Ahmed. But if someone as important as Abu Ahmed had died, they'd be talking about it online in chat rooms all over the place. Plus, the detainee said that Habeeb died in 2001. We know Abu Ahmed was alive then, trying to get into Tora Bora with Ammar. That means it's probably one of the other brothers that's dead.

  Dan : In other words, you want it to be true.

  Maya : Yes, I fucking want it to be true!

  Dan : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. Calm down.

  Maya : I am calm.
