  President Trumbull : Mike. Stay alive.

• Clay Banning : How the fuck did you find me?

  Mike Banning : I run security for the president. How do you think? You've been here the last five years. North Carolina before that. Alaska before that.

  Clay Banning : You see, that's Big Brother for you.

  Mike Banning : No, actually, it was just me wondering if you were still alive.

  Clay Banning : Did you do it?

  Mike Banning : You'd like it if I did, wouldn't you... dad?

• [mid-credits scene] 

  Clay Banning : You know, that's a good thing you got off those pills and you got your physical done. But you got a whole lot of shit going on upstairs. You know, the stuff we've been through, it sits up there in the top of your head like it's gonna explode. If you don't deal with it, it'll eat you up.

  Mike Banning : Seriously, dad? You're telling me that I have to take care of my upstairs?

  Clay Banning : Yup.

  Mike Banning : You're, like, one level off of the Unabomber. But, tell you what, you wanna help me get my shit together?

  Clay Banning : Yeah.

  Mike Banning : So, how about you come with me? We get un-fucked together.

  Clay Banning : Where are we going?

  Mike Banning : This place my doctor's sending me to. It's supposed to re-balance your brain.

  Clay Banning : Oh, shit.

• President Trumbull : I hear there's something you want to tell me.

  Mike Banning : Yes, sir. I know you're busy, so I-I'll get right to it. Before the attack, I-I... I should've been more honest about some of the things that I was dealing with. The concussions, the... pills. I let you down, sir.

  President Trumbull : You're damn right. Why did you think you couldn't come to me with this, after all we've been through?

  Mike Banning : I don't know, sir. You know how I feel about the job, and I... I didn't want anyone to take that away from me. But that is no excuse. You know, someone said to me once... it's better sometimes knowing when to quit instead of lying to yourself and hurting the ones you care about the most. I'm not gonna let that happen again. I'm here to offer my resignation, sir.

• Clay Banning : Why are they saying it's you?

  Mike Banning : I was set up.

  Clay Banning : Not a surprise. Fucking government.

  Mike Banning : No, not the government. It was a friend of mine. I'm trying to figure out who else.

  Clay Banning : Sounds like you should pick better friends, son.

  Mike Banning : You know what? Don't call me "son." You lost that right when you walked out on mom and me.

• Mike Banning : Hey, you got any aspirin? Something stronger?

  Clay Banning : I don't do medications.

  Mike Banning : Of course you don't.

  Clay Banning : And by the looks of it, you shouldn't, either.

• Agent Thompson : Maybe you can explain why I found your DNA in the van. Skin cells, hair. Right there on the launch controls.

  Mike Banning : What?

  Agent Thompson : Or residue from the same explosives used in the event in your garage. Mike, tell me about the encrypted folder we found on the Dark Web.

  Mike Banning : Encrypted folder?

  Agent Thompson : The encrypted folder that contained the classified map and your Secret Service itinerary for the lake trip. Only you had that, Mike. How did that happen?

• Militia Man #1 : Holy shit. We got us America's Most Wanted here, Tim. Bet there's a big ol' bounty on your ass. Tim, you stay on him. I'm gonna call it in. If he moves, shoot him.

  Militia Man #2 : Shit, he moves a muscle, I'll light his ass up.

  Mike Banning : [getting the advantage]  You were saying?

  Militia Man #1 : Shoot him, Tim. Shoot him!

  Militia Man #2 : [throwing his gun down]  Shit.

  Militia Man #1 : What the hell you doing?

  Militia Man #2 : I ain't dying for this shit, Bobby.

  Militia Man #1 : God damn it.

  Mike Banning : Your mountain militia needs help.

  Trucker : [cocking a pistol]  You'd best drop that gun, boy.

  Mike Banning : Fuck.

• Bruno : What the fuck, asshole? He just kicked me down the fucking stairs.

  Mike Banning : Well, don't stand on the fucking stairs.

• Mike Banning : I don't think I'm gonna take the director's job if they offer it. God, I'm not ready to ride a desk yet.

  Wade Jennings : I saw it in your eyes the moment I mentioned it. Hell, I wouldn't, either. We're lions. And that ain't never gonna change.

  Mike Banning : Tell you what, though. I'll put in a good word for you when they pick the new director.

  Wade Jennings : Only if it's convenient.

• Secret Service Director David Gentry : Just a few more of these pressers and I'm done with this circus.

  Mike Banning : Ah, you know you'll miss it, sir. You have no life.

  Secret Service Director David Gentry : Says the man who could be taking my place.

• Agent Thompson : The controls were left on auto to deploy the drones during the trip's window. The facial recognition to target the president of the United States, as well as every member of your team, except you. You had this perfectly planned, Mike, didn't you?

  Mike Banning : Can't you see that I'm being set up?

  Agent Thompson : No, I cannot, Agent Banning.

• Leah Banning : Mike said you grew up in England?

  Wade Jennings : Uh, yeah, I did. Yeah, my father was an expat. I, uh... I never really felt I belonged anywhere. But when I moved to the States after school, I-I joined the Army.

  Leah Banning : And how long did you guys serve together?

  Mike Banning : Uh, I got into Third Batt right after you. So, what, about three, four years?

  Wade Jennings : That sounds about right. Yeah.

  Leah Banning : Mike never tells me stories about his Army days.

  Wade Jennings : Yeah, well, most of us don't. It's just our way, I guess. But, uh, hey, if you... if you wanna hear a story...

  Mike Banning : No.

  Leah Banning : Yeah.

  Mike Banning : No, she doesn't wanna hear a story. You know, whatever he's gonna say is... is definitely inappropriate.

• Mike Banning : You must really like fishing, sir. It's cold as shit out here.

  President Trumbull : Sorry. Anything to get out of D.C. for a while.

• Leah Banning : Mike, is that you?

  Mike Banning : Leah.

  Leah Banning : Are you okay?

  Mike Banning : I'm all right. You okay? How's Lynne?

  Leah Banning : She's okay. She's here with me. We've been getting death threats.

  Mike Banning : Are the cops out front?

  Leah Banning : Yeah. And a ton of reporters.

  Mike Banning : Okay, that's a good thing. They'll watch the house 24/7. So you just make sure you stay inside and they'll keep you safe. Have they talked to you?

  Leah Banning : Yeah. Why didn't you tell me about the doctors?

  Mike Banning : Babe, I wanted to. But I can't explain right now. Just... you gotta trust me.

  Leah Banning : Where are you? Are you in jail?

  Mike Banning : Look, I'm not the only one on the line. Guys, I know you got a job to do. So do I. And I'm not gonna stop until I prove who really did this.

• Mike Banning : Modern Nursing, huh? What, you thinking about going back to work early?

  Leah Banning : I'm thinking about it. But it's like she does something so amazing every day, I don't wanna miss it. Pretty soon we're gonna have you around here too more, right?

  Mike Banning : Yeah. He hasn't made a decision yet, honey.

  Leah Banning : If you want me to, I will march down to the White House and set Trumbull straight.

  Mike Banning : Yeah. You think that'll work?

  Leah Banning : I can be pretty persuasive.

  Mike Banning : Oh, trust me, I know.

• Wade Jennings : Word is, uh, David Gentry's retiring, and you're on the deck to take over. Director of Secret Service, huh?

  Mike Banning : And here I just thought you missed me.

• Leah Banning : How was the range?

  Mike Banning : Ah, easy breezy. My friend Wade's got a good thing going. Bummed I missed Lynne. How many stories did it take this time?

  Leah Banning : The usual four. You gonna take a shower?

  Mike Banning : [getting onto the bed]  No.

  Leah Banning : No, I just washed the sheets. I just...

  [laughing as he kisses her] 

  Leah Banning : You smell like gunpowder.

  Mike Banning : Yeah, you know you love it.

• Mike Banning : What's this? You writing your own manifesto?

  Clay Banning : You know, I had a lifetime to think about the things I've seen and I've done. I don't want to ever forget. That's how we get lost.

  Mike Banning : Yeah?

  Clay Banning : Yeah.

  Mike Banning : What chapter am I in?

• Mike Banning : [hearing gunfire]  Inside. I'll try to make sure they don't flank you. Defend him with everything you got.

• Mike Banning : I told you you should've trained like it was fucking real.

• [At the Salient Global compound, the team has an incoming call from Frost, one of the mercenaries] 

  Travis Cole : It's Frost.

  Wade Jennings : [Not buying it]  No, it's not. Put him through.

  [Speaks to Mike] 

  Wade Jennings : Guess I should've sent more guys, huh?

  Mike Banning : Why don't you come yourself?

  Clay Banning : [enraged]  Yeah, tell him to send all the fuckheads he's got in that shitty outfit of his!

  [Mike shushes Clay as the latter backs up] 

  Wade Jennings : Sounds like your Dad's all fired up.

  Mike Banning : What happened to you, Wade? How did it come to this?

  Wade Jennings : Look, I wish it could've been different, Mike. But war is about deception, and Trumbull was in the way. You were a necessary evil, caught in the right place at the right time. Be thankful that you're still breathing.

  Mike Banning : Fuck you! So what is it? We get into another war and you get your billions in contracts?

  Wade Jennings : You think it's about the money, Mike? No, I wish I could trade places with you. You're the one out there fighting, fighting for life. Can you feel it? Blood pumping? Yeah. Lions, Mike. Lions. Now I get to have my fix. too.

  Mike Banning : Oh, you'll get your fix. Don't worry about finding me. I'll find you.

  [Mike hangs up] 

  Wade Jennings : That's my Mike.
