Ethan Hunt : [Ethan is hanging to the side door of the plane] Benji, open the door!
Benji Dunn : Ethan? How did you get in the plane?
Ethan Hunt : I'm not in the plane, I'm ON the plane! Open the door!
Benji Dunn : Yeah, yeah, yeah, right!
[opens the rear door]
Benji Dunn : Ha! How's that?
Ethan Hunt : That's the wrong door!

William Brandt : [Brandt and Luther are searching for Ethan and Benji in Morocco in a 4x4 car] I thought you said you could find 'em.
Luther Stickell : I said I could LOCATE 'em. You have to find 'em.
William Brandt : Right.
[Ethan and Benji crash into a nearby car. Luther waves his hand and Ethan waves back]
William Brandt : Found 'em.
[Brandt attempts to follow them just to find out that Ethan and Brandt are being chased by gang of motorcyclers which pass by their car]
William Brandt : It's a high-speed chase and you just had to get the 4x4! Didn't you?
Luther Stickell : Don't blame me. You chose the car!
William Brandt : You just had to have it!
[follows the cyclers]
Luther Stickell : Look at it! Look at how slow you are going. Speed it up!

Ethan Hunt : And option three?
Ilsa Faust : Come away with me. Right now.
Luther Stickell : Oh, boy.

Luther Stickell : You need to understand something. Ethan is my friend. And if I have one SECOND of doubt whose side you're on...
[starts glaring at Brandt seriously]
William Brandt : I believe you.
-
Ethan Hunt : You're free now. Where will you go?
Ilsa Faust : I don't know. I've done my part.

William Brandt : [on the phone] Benji? Benji, do you copy? Benji?
Benji Dunn : [grunts] Shit.
William Brandt : Where is Ethan?
Benji Dunn : [crouching in a field] Uh, I can't talk right now.
William Brandt : The package is on the plane.
Benji Dunn : Yeah, I know. We're currently formulating a plan B. Although, technically, it's a plan C.
William Brandt : This isn't going very well...
Benji Dunn : I am aware of that, Brandt. You're not helping.
William Brandt : Where's Ethan?
Benji Dunn : I don't know. We're on radio silence.
William Brandt : That plane cannot take off with the package on it. Do you understand?
Luther Stickell : [interjecting] We're working on it.
William Brandt : Luther? What the hell are you doing there? You're supposed to be on assignment in Malaysia!
Luther Stickell : I *am* in Malaysia. I've been here two days. Benji needed my help.
Benji Dunn : I didn't need help. I just needed assistance. It's a different thing.
William Brandt : [miffed] The package is still on the plane.

Luther Stickell : So what do we do now?
Ethan Hunt : Please tell me you made a copy of that disk.
Benji Dunn : Of course I made a copy.
William Brandt : So where are we going?
-
William Brandt : Tell me it is possible to pull facial recognition off a sketch.
Luther Stickell : For mere mortals, no. For me, I could've done this at home.
William Brandt : How long is this gonna take?
Luther Stickell : Found her. CCTV picked her up at the airport in Casablanca.
William Brandt : [the computer screen shows that Ilsa Faust is a disavowed agent] What the hell?
Luther Stickell : She's bad news.

Ethan Hunt : What's happening?
Luther Stickell : I can't open it.
Ethan Hunt : What do you mean, you can't open it?
Luther Stickell : I mean I can't open it, ever.
Benji Dunn : That's a red box?
William Brandt : A what?
Ethan Hunt : It's a red box. The British government uses them to transport state secrets.
William Brandt : Doesn't sound good.
Benji Dunn : Meaning it's triple-encrypted. You're not getting into that thing unless you have fingerprints, retinal scan, and a voice phrase spoken by a specific individual.
Ethan Hunt : The Prime Minister of Great Britain himself.
Benji Dunn : Yes, him.
William Brandt : So what you're saying is there is no ledger, which means we have no proof that the Syndicate even exists. So we're back to square one, only now we are all wanted by CIA. I'm so proud of us.
Benji Dunn : What I don't understand is why is there a red box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?
Luther Stickell : And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?
Benji Dunn : If Lane wants it, you can bet he has a plan to open it. Ah, and we just helped him steal it.
Luther Stickell : He's going to take the Prime Minister.
Ethan Hunt : Yes, he is. The question is how.

[the team attempts to open the data package they stole]
Ethan Hunt : What's happening?
Luther Stickell : I can't open it.
Ethan Hunt : What do you mean you can't open it?
Ethan Hunt : I mean I can't open it, ever.
Benji Dunn : That's a red box.
William Brandt : A what?
Ethan Hunt : It's a red box. The British government uses them to transport state secrets.

William Brandt : So what you're saying is there is no ledger, which means we have no proof that the Syndicate even exists. So we're back to square one, only now we're all wanted by the CIA.
[sarcastically]
William Brandt : I'm so proud of us.
Benji Dunn : What I don't understand is why is there a red box sat in a private data vault in Morocco?
Luther Stickell : And why would Lane want it if he can't open it?
Benji Dunn : If Lane wants it, you can bet he has a plan to open it and we just helped him steal it.
Luther Stickell : He's gonna take the Prime Minister.
Ethan Hunt : Yes, he is. The question is, how?
Benji Dunn : Well, we have to warn the British.
William Brandt : Yeah, MI6.
[pulls out a cellphone]
Ethan Hunt : No, no, Brandt, put down the phone. Let's just think about this for a minute.
William Brandt : We have a responsibility to warn the British government, not gamble with the Prime Minister's life, Ethan! Just so you can beat the guy that has beaten you at every turn!
Ethan Hunt : Is that what you think this is? Brandt? Is that what you think this is?
William Brandt : I think, right now, you're incapable of seeing that there's another way.
Luther Stickell : And sometimes Ethan is the only one capable of seeing the only way.
William Brandt : And if he's wrong, we have Vienna ALL OVER AGAIN!
Ethan Hunt : You don't know him. If he wants something to happen, THERE'S NO PREVENTING IT!
William Brandt : That's why we have to warn the British!
Ethan Hunt : Maybe that's exactly what he wants us to do!
William Brandt : Are you listening to yourself? We're going to warn the British!
Ethan Hunt : No. We're going to find Lane, we're going to get him before he takes the Prime Minister.
William Brandt : [pauses, then slowly puts the phone back in his pocket] Okay. Alright, Ethan. We're going to find Lane. But please tell me. How are we going to do that?
