Quotes 

• Sean Ambrose : [to Ethan]  You know, that was the hardest part about having to portray you, grinning like an idiot every fifteen minutes.

• Sean Ambrose : [disguised as Ethan Hunt]  You keep calling me Dimitri. You really shouldn't.

  Dr. Nekhorvich : You are not Dimitri?

  [Ambrose knocks him out] 

  Sean Ambrose : No.

• Sean Ambrose : You know women, mate. Like monkeys, they are - won't let go of one branch until they've got hold of the next.

• Sean Ambrose : [briefing his men]  If you look at Hunt's operational history, and I have, you'll notice that he invariably favors misdirection over confrontation.

• Sean Ambrose : In just a few hours you can be assured of going down in history as the typhoid Mary of "Aus". G'day.

• [at the races] 

  Sean Ambrose : Darling, you won!

  Nyah Nordoff-Hall : I suppose I did.

  Sean Ambrose : What made you pick her? That old nag's never won a thing.

  Nyah Nordoff-Hall : [holds up racing form]  "A Thief in the Night."

  Sean Ambrose : Ha! Say no more.

• Hugh Stamp : [referring to Nyah, standing in Sean's mansion]  Why do you think she's really here?

  Sean Ambrose : From her point of view or mine?

  Hugh Stamp : Well, she wasn't exactly gagging for it when she left you six months ago.

• Sean Ambrose : [while siting in the back seat of a Chauffeur car with Nyah and Sean holds up the anti-virus in front of the infected Nyah]  Feel like pleading for your life?

• [on a beach, near the shore, Ethan slowly walks towards Ambrose with a knife] 

  Sean Ambrose : Go ahead, Hunt. Use it. It's not a bad way to go. A lot better than the way that bitch is going to die.

• [repeated line] 

  Sean Ambrose : The ball's in your court, Mr. Hunt.

• Sean Ambrose : [before shooting Ethan disguised as Hugh]  This is what's known as getting your gun off.

• [after Nyah infects herself with Chimera] 

  Sean Ambrose : You... BITCH!

• Sean Ambrose : [ordering his men to stop shooting at injection gun containing Chimera]  Put a sock in it.

• Sean Ambrose : How quickly can you manufacture more of the antivirus?

  John C. McCloy : No time at all, once I've got it.

  Sean Ambrose : Good. Biocyte's stock is just a few weeks away from going through the roof!

  John C. McCloy : What are you talking about?

  Sean Ambrose : An outbreak of Chimera.

  John C. McCloy : Where?

  Sean Ambrose : Downtown Sydney... for a start. You create the supply, Mr. McCloy; we've just created the demand! Three million people in Sydney, and seventeen million people in Australia are going to need Bellerophon within the next few days, not to mention the rest of the world. Now, this is how it's going to work. Wallis, the shares outstanding are?

  Wallis : 93.4 million.

  Sean Ambrose : Which means, Mr. McCloy, we need to get our hands on 480,000 stock options. We'll borrow your $30 million to buy those options. Your stock has never sold above $31 a share. When your stock goes north of 200, which it will, those shares will be worth billions, and I will own 51% of Biocyte!

  John C. McCloy : This is outrageous. I will not let you take control of my company.

  Sean Ambrose : Sit down. You'll be a billionaire. It's better than being broke. I have terrorists and... other pharmaceutical companies standing in line. The ball's in your court, Mr. McCloy.
