Best Quotes


 

April: You’ve never heard me shout before.
Beckett: You scared me.
April: Even when we fight, we’re together, alright? Let’s make it a rule. We’re together in this. All of it.


 

April: I know that for every plan discarded, you think an angel loses its wings.
Beckett: Well, you did make all these plans, so I can’t complain.
April: Thank you. I appreciate you said that.
Beckett: I’m learning.


 

April: We’re not supposed to be here. I mean, like no one knows where we are, and it’s really just the two of us. Figures in a landscape. And Zeus had his oracle up here.
Beckett: I didn’t know it was going to be like this.


 

Beckett: I’m having a love attack. Currently. Save me from this love attack, please.
April: Sorry. I talk too much.


 

Beckett: I’m not that bad.
April: With me? No. You’ve got no problem bothering me when you don’t like what we’re watching, or what I make for dinner.
Beckett: Oh, here we go.
April: That’s your mental trick, okay? You just pretend other people are me. Just pretend it’s me, and you won’t hold back.


 

Officer Xenakis: Unbelievable. The accident, I mean. The house. I saw the damage. I went with the truck to pull out your car.
Beckett: Where did we crash?
Officer Xenakis: Down by the turnoff. Four kilometers away. At least there was no one in the house. Could have been worse.


 

Beckett: There were people in the house.
Officer Xenakis: No. Nobody has lived there for years.
Beckett: I saw someone. Two people. A woman and a boy. Teenager, maybe.
Officer Xenakis: Probably immigrants. Can you describe them?
Beckett: A boy. Red hair, maybe, or something.


 

Beckett: [referring to Xenakis] I don’t know what’s happening. People, they’ve been shooting at me. A policeman. Bad policeman.
Old Hunter: A bad policeman?


 

Beckett: [over phone] I’m up in the mountains outside of Ioannina. There’s a local police officer. No, there’s two. There’s two local police officers, and a woman. Okay? They’re trying to kill me. I don’t know why.


 

Beckett: [over phone] I’m a US citizen. I was vacationing with my girlfriend. We got in a car accident. She died. Then I was attacked by a stranger!


 

Beckett: Look, I’m not the person you want, alright? There’s been a mistake. You don’t want me.
Officer Xenakis: Now if you make a scene, I will tase you. Have you ever been tased? It’s horrible. You pi** yourself. You s**t your pants.


 

Beckett: [referring to Xenakis] This man’s trying to kill me!


 

Beckett: [over phone] I didn’t pull the trigger. I was just trying to protect myself.
Officer Majessy: You have to turn yourself in to the local police now.
Beckett: If I do that, I’ll be dead in thirty minutes, or less. You know I can’t do that.


 

Officer Majessy: Whatever legal assistance you require, we can provide it to you. We can answer any questions.
Beckett: How about this? How about this question? How the hell did I get into this situation?


 

Officer Majessy: [over phone] Listen, you just admitted to shooting a police officer.
Beckett: I need help.
Officer Majessy: The best thing you can do is go to the local authorities.
Beckett: I need help.
Officer Majessy: We can only help you after you’ve turned yourself in.
Beckett: I can’t stay here. I can’t stay here.


 

Beckett: [referring to the photo] This boy. Who is this boy?
Eleni: That’s Dimos, Karras’ nephew.
Beckett: Well, I’m a tourist. I don’t understand. What does that mean?
Lena: This boy was kidnapped, and he’s the nephew of a famous politician, alright?
Eleni: People need to understand what’s happening to try and bring Karras down.


 

Beckett: I’ve seen this boy.
Lena: You’ve seen Dimos Karras?
Beckett: In the mountains. There are cops involved.
Lena: Is that why your hands are cuffed?
Beckett: I’ve been running. My girlfriend and I were in a car accident, and we hit a house. That’s where I saw the boy, in that house. There’s been a woman and a cop. They’ve been trying to kill me ever since.
Lena: And you think these people have the boy?
Beckett: They must.


 

Beckett: I need your help. I need a ride to Athens. That’s where the US Embassy is. You understand? They can help me. The US Embassy in Athens.
Lena: If he’s saying the truth…
Eleni: That’s a big if.
Lena: Yes, but this could change everything, even save the boy.
Beckett: Please.
Eleni: You could be full of s**t.


 

Eleni: You better not be lying to us about any of this.
Beckett: I’m not that creative. Believe me.
Eleni: Well, you missed out the part about shooting a cop.
Beckett: No. No, no. I didn’t shoot him. Okay, well, I didn’t mean to shoot him. He was drawing his gun on me. I was just trying to get away from him. It was only his foot.
Eleni: What a relief.


 

Beckett: The woman you were talking to, is she police too?
Lena: No. I had to deal with enough police in my life to know that she was something else. But she was armed.


 

Lena: Are we in danger?
Eleni: Are we?
Beckett: They know where I’m trying to go. They’ll be waiting. So we have to be very, very careful.


 

Lena: What happened to your girlfriend?
Beckett: We weren’t supposed to be on that road. We were staying at Syntagma Square. Our balcony overlooked it. Somebody told us that there was a protest coming. Then they told us it was going to be very loud. So, you know, we left.


 

Officer Majessy: [as Beckett makes it to the embassy] I’m Steve Majessy. We spoke on the phone. Oh. We’re going to get you cleaned up. We’re going to get you better. Don’t worry about it.


 

Tynan: [to Beckett] I hear you’ve been through hell.


 

Beckett: [looking at April’s body] I want to bring her home.
Tynan: Of course. As soon as that’s possible, given what’s happening. I’m so sorry for your loss, Beckett.


 

Beckett: Then I crawled out of the car, and that’s when I saw the redheaded boy. A couple days later, I went back there.
Tynan: You went back there? Why?
Beckett: To see.
Tynan: To see what?
Beckett: I didn’t know what I had to do.


 

Beckett: It was my fault. The accident, it was my fault. And then that’s where they found me. A woman and a cop, they started shooting at me. On sight, and I just ran. And they followed me, and they forced their way into a house that I was hiding in. And God only knows what they did to the man there that was taking care of me at the time. And they found me on a train.
Tynan: Where you shot the cop?
Beckett: They were waiting for me, there at the station. And near the embassy here.


 

Beckett: Then, who’s after me?
Tynan: Can you identify the cop?
Beckett: Yes, I said I can.
Tynan: Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. I know plenty of Greek cops who won’t try to kill you. I’ll take you to one of them. You’ll fill her in on everything. I’ll vouch for you.


 

Beckett: Well, I really don’t want to leave the embassy.
Tynan: Look, I know you’re scared. I get it. I’m going to be with you the whole way. To the end of this.

Beckett: Are they going to be able to help the boy? Dimos?
Tynan: Unlikely.


 

Beckett: [to Tynan] So the Communists, they’re the ones trying to kill me?


 

Lena: Did you go to the embassy?
Beckett: It’s all f***ed up. I barely escaped. We got to go!
Lena: What? They’re also part of this?


 

Beckett: [to Lena] Listen to me. They know you’re here. Alright, they probably know I’m coming to warn you. Okay, we have to get out of here. We all got to go!


 

Lena: Who are you?
Tynan: Oh, you don’t want to know, sweetheart.


 

Tynan: Appreciate you moving us out of public view. You f***ed up my face, man.
Beckett: You don’t deserve a face like that.
Tynan: And you don’t deserve to get shot in the cellar of a mall. Hold it right there.
Beckett: Maybe I do.


 

Tynan: I’m not going to f***ing do anything to you. Calm down. Karras is dead. He’s dead. That’s what that call was. He was just shot during his speech. Just happened.
Beckett: Wait, who did it?
Tynan: Apparently, the people who took your boy.


 

Beckett: Tell me what you know.
Tynan: What do you care? Google it. You can figure out most of it.


 

Tynan: Karras family’s got a ton of shipping money. He wanted more, got involved with crooks, and he owes them. They want their money back. The rest is classified.
Beckett: Taking Dimos wasn’t political then? Just criminals Karras owed, that’s what you’re telling me?
Tynan: Yeah. Classified.
Beckett: So, this is all just Mafia bulls**t?


 

Beckett: So who called and said they were the Communist Front? That was you?
Tynan: That’s classified.
Beckett: Of course it is!


 

Beckett: What did you want with me?!
Tynan: Hey, f***ing a**hole! You were going to uncover the real crooks and f*** with our plan, okay? We needed someone else to take the blame, but we’re good now. His coalition can’t survive. You want me to tell you you were expendable? The wrong man? The wrong place? Yeah, sure. All of it. But we’re good now. You keep this part between us, you got nothing to worry about from me. And don’t f***ing test that. It would be my word against yours. I got the cleanest f***ing record you’ve ever seen.


 

Tynan: It’s over, alright? It’s over, Beckett.
Beckett: What about the boy?
Tynan: What about him?
Beckett: Are they going to kill him?
Tynan: How should I know? Maybe they have. Maybe they are right f***ing now. You know what? Go up there and ask them. But Beckett, at this point, just get on a f***ing plane.


 

Beckett: I should have died. I should have died.
