Quotes 

• Noah Vosen : [in car, on cell phone]  Perhaps we can arrange a meet.

  Jason Bourne : Where are you now?

  Noah Vosen : I'm sitting in my office.

  Jason Bourne : I doubt that.

  Noah Vosen : Why would you doubt that?

  Jason Bourne : If you were in your office right now we'd be having this conversation face-to-face.

  [Bourne hangs up] 

• Noah Vosen : Nicky, I need you to stay put and secure the premises. Backup will be arriving in approximately one hour. Do you copy?

  Nicky Parsons : Copy sir.

  [Noah hangs up phone] 

  Jason Bourne : How long do I have?

  Nicky Parsons : Three minutes.

• Jason Bourne : Get some rest Pam, you look tired.

  Noah Vosen : He's looking right at her.

• Noah Vosen : Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne!

• Noah Vosen : When we're finished with Daniels, send the asset after her. We find Parsons, we find Bourne.

  Pamela Landy : Noah, what are you doing?

  Noah Vosen : Not now.

  Pamela Landy : I want to know what's going on.

  Noah Vosen : I said not now.

  Pamela Landy : What basis are you continuing this operation on?

  Noah Vosen : The basis that Nicky Parsons has compromised a covert operation. She is up to her neck in this.

  Pamela Landy : This is about Daniels, not Nicky.

  Noah Vosen : She has betrayed us.

  Pamela Landy : You don't know the circumstances, Noah.

  Noah Vosen : She's in league with Jason Bourne, for Christ's sake.

  Pamela Landy : You do not have the authority to kill her.

  Noah Vosen : Oh yes I do! And you had better get on board.

  Pamela Landy : Noah, she's one of us. You start down this path, where does it end?

  Noah Vosen : It ends when we've won.

• CIA Agent : Uh, sir he drove off the roof.

  Noah Vosen : What?

  CIA Agent : He drove off the roof!

• Wills : They found a body.

  Noah Vosen : Bourne?

  Wills : Desh.

• Noah Vosen : You know as well as I do decisions made in real time are never perfect. Don't second guess an operation from an armchair.

• Pamela Landy : What is Operation Blackbriar? You want to tell me or should I call Kramer and ask him?

  Noah Vosen : For Christ's sake Pam, we're in the middle of an operation.

  Pamela Landy : Bullshit. You want Jason Bourne? Level with me.

  Noah Vosen : Operation Blackbriar started as an NEAT surveillance program.

  Pamela Landy : What is it now?

  Noah Vosen : It is now the umbrella program for all our black-ops. Full envelope intrusion, rendition, experimental interrogation - it is all run out of this office. We are the sharp end of the stick now, Pam.

  Pamela Landy : Lethal action?

  Noah Vosen : If we have to, sure. That's what makes us special. No more red tape. No more getting the bad guys caught on our sights, then watching them escape while we wait for somebody in Washington to issue the order.

  [Vosen sees Landy's disapproval] 

  Noah Vosen : Oh come on. You've seen the raw intel, Pam. You know how real the danger is. We need these programs now.

• Jason Bourne : You didn't really think I was coming to Tudor City, did you?

  Noah Vosen : No. I guess not.

• Noah Vosen : Issue a standing kill order on Jason Bourne, effective immediately.

• Noah Vosen : All agents have shoot-on-sight authorization.

• Noah Vosen : Our target is a British national - Simon Ross, a reporter. I want all his phones, his BlackBerry, his apartment, his car, bank accounts, credit cards, travel patterns - I want to know what he's going to think before he does. Every dirty little secret he has, and most of all we want the name and real-time location of his source. This is NSA priority level 4. Any questions?

• [after listening to a recording of Simon Ross' phone call] 

  Noah Vosen : Is that it?

  Wills : Yeah.

  Noah Vosen : I want rendition protocols, and put the asset on stand-by just in case.
