- [last lines]
- Benji Dunn: How close were we?
- Ethan Hunt: The usual.
- Ilsa Faust: [incredulous] Usual?
- Ethan Hunt: [chuckling] Please, don't make me laugh.
- Benji Dunn: We have to evacuate these people!
- Ilsa Faust: There's no time!
- Ethan Hunt: This whole valley's gonna be incinerated in 15 minutes!
- Ilsa Faust: [the two helicopters take off] It's too late!
- Ethan Hunt: No. I'm gonna get the detonator.
- Ilsa Faust: What? How?
- Ethan Hunt: I'll figure it out. Find Lane and find the other bomb!
- [gets out of the jeep and jumps onto the first helicopter]
- Ilsa Faust: What the hell is he doing?
- Benji Dunn: I find it best not to look!
- Benji Dunn: [after Ethan hijacks a helicopter to chase Walker] Ethan, where are you?
- Ethan Hunt: I'm in a helicopter going after Walker.
- Benji Dunn: Hold on! How did you get in the helicopter?
- Ilsa Faust: What? You can fly a helicopter?
- Luther Stickell: Did you say "helicopter"? What the hell are you doing in a helicopter?
- Luther Stickell: Wire strippers.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: I'm a doctor, not an electrician.
- Luther Stickell: Sorry, the thing with the green grip.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: Got it.
- Luther Stickell: The wire in my left hand.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: The black one?
- Luther Stickell: My left hand.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: That's your left hand.
- Luther Stickell: Sorry, the other wire.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: The red one?
- Luther Stickell: Yes, the red one in my right hand.
- Julia Meade-Hunt: Just checking.
- Ilsa Faust: Oh, I like her.
- Luther Stickell: In all the years that I've known Ethan he's only been serious about two women. One was his wife.
- Ilsa Faust: He's married?
- Luther Stickell: No, he was.
- Ilsa Faust: Was? What happened to her?
- Luther Stickell: Well, she was taken by some people who wanted to get to Ethan. It's OK. He got her back in one piece. Then he quit the game. They were happy for a while. But every time something bad happened in the world Ethan would think: I should have been there. And she would wonder: Who's watching the world while Ethan is watching me? Deep down they both knew that someday, somehow, something truly terrible was going to happen. All because they were together. So...
- Ilsa Faust: Where is she now?
- Luther Stickell: She's a ghost. Good at it too. Taught her myself. Every now and then she sends up a signal to let Ethan know she's safe. And that keeps him going.
- Ilsa Faust: Why are you telling me this?
- Luther Stickell: [tearfully] We're in this mess because Ethan wouldn't let me die. He's a good man. And he cares about you. More than he can admit. That's one more worry than he can handle right now. If you care about him, you should walk away.
- [from trailer]
- Ilsa Faust: You don't understand what you're involved in.
- Ethan Hunt: You need to walk away.
- Ilsa Faust: Please don't make me go through you.
- Ethan Hunt: The CIA has been infiltrated. I don't trust anybody outside of this room. We're gonna have to go it alone.
- Ilsa Faust: So, where do we go?
- Ilsa Faust: I knew if I followed her you'd show up eventually.
- Ethan Hunt: Are you ok?
- [taking her hand]
- Ethan Hunt: Ilsa, I never wanted to hurt you.
- Ilsa Faust: I know you have your reasons. I know.
- Ethan Hunt: You need to walk away.
- Ilsa Faust: I can't do that.
- Ethan Hunt: You weren't at the Palais to kill Lark.
- Ilsa Faust: No.
- Ethan Hunt: You were there to protect him.
- Ilsa Faust: Yes.
- Ethan Hunt: And you killed him to protect me. You wanted Lark to break Lane out. No. You needed him to to break Lane out. Because you have to kill Lane. Who's making you do this? Mig. Why?
- Ilsa Faust: After we captured him in London, they tried to bring Lane home trough diplomatic channels. But too many countries want their pound of flesh. A man like that, what he's seen, what he knows about British intelligence, they can't have him talking to a foreign goverment ever.
- Ethan Hunt: That's not what I'm asking. Why did they send you?
- Ilsa Faust: This is how I prove my loyalty. This is how I come home.
- Ethan Hunt: But you were out. You were free.
- Ilsa Faust: We are never free. I spent two years undercover with Lane. To them, I'm as much of a threat as he is. I kill him, or I never stop running. Now tell me where he is?
- Ethan Hunt: I can't help you.
- Ilsa Faust: I will get to him one way or another. Please don't make me go trough you.
- [she retires walking]
- Ilsa Faust: Contractors. Paid assassins. They don't know what he looks like, they only know he's meeting the Widow at midnight. If you go through with this, they're gonna believe you're Lark and they're gonna kill you.
- Ethan Hunt: How do you know all this?
- Ilsa Faust: I can't tell you that.
- Ethan Hunt: What? What is it? What aren't you telling me?
- Ilsa Faust: You don't understand what you're involved in.
- Ethan Hunt: I don't understand what I'm involved in. I don't understand what I'm involved in? What am I involved in?
