American Ultra (2015)

Bill Pullman: Krueger

Quotes 

• Krueger : You directly interfered with a government operation. And as a result, you caused the deaths of innocent civilians. Is that correct?

  Victoria Lasseter : Yes, sir.

  Adrian Yates : You're absolutely right, sir. Thanks to Lasseter activating Howell, seven American citizens are now dead.

  Krueger : This is an operation that you created and spearheaded without any authorization, is that correct?

  Adrian Yates : Yes, sir. But you have to understand, I was self-starting.

  Krueger : Excuse me?

  Adrian Yates : Did I make some mistakes? You know, I did. Did I take some shortcuts? Sure. But in the end, I was just doing what I needed to do to create a cost-efficient exploit of a system already put in place. And if I'd pulled it off, you'd be thanking me. Right? Come on, you'd be fucking thanking me, right?

  Krueger : Yeah.

  Adrian Yates : Okay! Thank you.

  Krueger : [kills Yates] 

  Victoria Lasseter : I don't know if this is appropriate, but please do not kill me.

  Krueger : I'm your source. When I called to notify you that the sweep was happening, I did it out of respect and courtesy. And you've made me regret that now. It was not my intention for you to act like a child and try to save your puppy. The puppy was going down, I was notifying you of the puppy's death. But the puppy just shit all over everything! You have a crazy, scary rabid puppy that murders people and will still need to be put down. You understand that, correct?

  Victoria Lasseter : Yes, sir.

  Krueger : You better pray you can find a way to turn this into a win and pull a miracle out of your ass. Because if you can't, that's you.

  [looks to Yates] 

  Victoria Lasseter : You already have your miracle, sir. My program worked. Wiseman beat Toughguy. Mike Howell eliminated 17 Toughguy assets single-handedly. That makes him the most effective asset we've ever seen in any of the Ultra programs. Ever! In 60 years. Pardon me for saying it, sir, but that is a puppy worth saving. That is a $400 million puppy. And you have him sitting in a holding cell right now.
