Hanna
Movie Quotes: Disjointed Dark Fairytale
(Total Quotes: 62)
Hanna movie quotes come across cerebral but also disjointed. The story is a dark fairy tale about a girl’s coming of age story who happens to also be a highly trained killer. Although this action packed movie is entertaining enough, it does leave one feeling as though the script is incomplete and the plot a little too underdeveloped as there isn’t enough depth in the story. The narrative has such potential that you feel a bit disappointed at the predictability of the plot. However, despite it's lack of depth, Hanna movie quotes are quirky enough to make it appealing and engaging.

[referring to the small device in front of Erik]
Hanna: What is it?
Erik: It tells Marissa Wiegler where we are. If you think you're ready, you want to leave here, all you have to do is flip that switch. But once it's done there's no going back. She won't stop until your dead, or she is. Understand?
[Hannah nods her head]
Erik: I won't be there to hold your hand. So be sure. Be sure it's what you really want.
[he looks at Hanna]
Erik: It's here. There's no rush.
[reading from a book]
Erik: Like a mongrel dog from the street of Moscow, it was the first animal to ever return. She was launched into outer space on the third of November, nineteen fifty seven. Scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the conditions of outer space. So flights by animals refute as experiments precursory to human submissions. A rocket was not designed to be retrievable and like it has always been, it returned to die.
Hanna: But she didn't, did she?
Erik: They couldn't bring the rocket back, remember?
Hanna: I remember. But sometimes I wish you would read it differently.
Erik: Will you hunt with me?
Hanna: If you want.
Erik: Well, it's up to you.
Hanna: Me?

Hanna: I'll stay.

His file ends in ninety four, there was no sign of life until April eighteenth, nineteen ninety six, when his finger prints were found on a twenty two caliber luger found beside of one, Johanna Zadek. Johanna Zadek born nineteen seventy, German. She was spotted and developed by Heller in nineteen ninety four, never recruited.
Head of Ops: Why was she being developed?
Marissa: That's not in the file. Let's keep on the past. Heller is a rogue asset. I propose we go and pull him out.
Head of Ops: We got bigger problems, Marissa. Let Interpol pick him up. He's no longer our responsibility.
Marissa: Interpol nabs him, that exposes him to BND, FSB, France. Do you really want every intelligence agency in Europe scratching at this threat?
Marissa: I'm sorry, but we need to keep this contained, gentlemen. Keep it small. I worked with this man. He knows things I don't think you wanna know.
Head of Ops: I appreciate your candor.
Erik: Tell me again.
Hanna: Marissa Wiegler.
Erik: Then?
Hanna: Post card.
Erik: Then?
Hanna: What?
Erik: The address where we meet?
Hanna: Wilhelm Grimm House, Stefan Straza two sixty one, one-o-five-five-nine, Wilhelm in Germany.

[looking at all the camera's in the cell]
Hanna: Are those cameras?
Burton: Uhuh. They're taking your picture right now, to keep a record. How does that make you feel?
[Marissa and Lewis are looking at Hanna through the TV monitors]
Burton: Can I get you something? What do you like? Music? Magazines? Just ask. Anything at all.
Hanna: I want to speak to Marissa Wiegler.
[speaking in the microphone to Lewis]
Marissa: Tell her I'll be there tonight.

Johanna Zadek: She will never be yours.
[after Hanna has escaped from the compound]
Sophie: Hey. Hello?
[Hanna doesn't reply]
Sophie: Don't you speak English? It's not your fault if you can't. M.I.A didn't speak English till she was eight, because she was like, a refugee or something from Sri Lanka. Now she's a pop star, in America too. But don't worry if you can't speak English yet.

Miles: It's the German girl!
Sophie: It's Kraut in a big Djellaba. Like quail or lesbo. I think I'd quite like to be lesbian. But not one of those fat ones, one who's like, a supermodel. But who don't hold hands, and I think I'd probably marry a man.

Marissa: Erik Heller is still alive.
Isaacs: Of course.
Marissa: And the girl.
Isaacs: Ah. Why are you here precisely?
Marissa: I need you.
Isaacs: You need me? Little old me! I'm very flattered.
Marissa: I need your talents, darlin'. I need you to do things my agency will not let me do.
