Untitled Jack Ryan Project Movie Quotes
James Greer
[Voiceover of his letter to the President of USA] I'll begin by saying I am not proud of what I've done. Pride shouldn't enter into affairs of state. But part of our job is to give our nation pride, to uphold the ideal of who we are and who we wish to be, at any cost. But if that ideal is based on lies, then our institutions begin to crumble, making us susceptible to division. Even infiltration. When I returned home, I was broken. But then I met someone who brought me back. I will always have faith in the light. Faith in the men and women who hold the spears, the ones who are brave enough to poke holes in the dark. Tip of the spear. His name is Jack Ryan. And it's my recommendation, Mr. President, that he serve as my deputy director.

[Talking to MI6 Chief] I don't know about you, but even with experience, I find it difficult to express the weight these situations carry. The simple fact that one person can have such a concrete perspective that there is nothing left in this world to offer but darkness. And that they would come to the conclusion that there is no light left to light for. We rely on our soldiers holding a spear to poke holes in the dark. As a soldier this man sitting next to me,

he is the tip of that spear. And as a mentor, my assurance of hope.

[Speaking to Ryan] I think I got you wrong. You know exactly what it takes.

Emma Marlow
Did you mean what you said?
Jack Ryan
Did I say something?
Emma Marlow
About realizing the dream, you fought for may never exist.
Jack Ryan
Oh, my God. Didn't know that MI6 bugs their conference rooms.
Emma Marlow
That would be unethical. I bugged your jacket.
Jack Ryan
How long?
Emma Marlow
A lady never tells. Nigel was left out in the open. I had to be sure Greer wasn't working with Crown. Learning more about you was a fringe benefit.
Jack Ryan
Well, you don't make it easy to trust you.
Emma Marlow
I make it impossible. Unless our loyalties temporarily align.
Jack Ryan
What do you care about my dreams, anyway?
Emma Marlow
They sound familiar.

Jack Ryan
[entering Langley] You nervous?
James Greer
What?
Jack Ryan
Well, you just seem a bit nervous.
James Greer
Why the hell would I be nervous? You're in this shit with me.
[door opens]
James Greer
Thanks for coming.
Jack Ryan
For you? Always.

[chirpy] Hey, listen, don't knock imminent nuclear threat until you've tried it.

Jack Ryan
What is the difference between you and him?
James Greer
I don't know. May be nothing. And may be it's you. You and your goddamn moral compass. You and your unshakable belief between right and wrong. Maybe I'm just jealous. And may be I'm just wrong. But somewhere in the middle, there's a truth. And if you can't accept the colour of that truth, well, then, I guess you are just a fucking analyst.

James Greer
Walking away form the darkness isn't the same thing as walking into the light. So, you can save your holier-than-thou speech.
Jack Ryan
I don't have speeches.
James Greer
Yes, you do. You damn wear it on your chest. When you walked through that door, that was the first thing I saw. You don't care a goddamn about answers. Except that you want to read me the fucking riot act. Twenty years ago there was nothing but darkness. Every minute we lost with red tape, one of those monsters slipped away. Starling was created out of goddamn fucking common sense. When you're being attacked, the rules change.
Jack Ryan
Then, I wonder, why have them at all?
James Greer
With every strike, with every death, we saved lives! Did it come at a cost? Of course it did. It came at a cost. And it's only in peacetime afforded by that cost that people get to pretend that it didn't.
Jack Ryan
Is that what you think? You think I don't realize that this comes with a cost? Take a good look. I am the cost. Every night that I come home to nothing, to no one, and every day that I wake up and realize that "that dream" that they sent me out to fight for may not even exist!
James Greer
Well, find the fucking courage to fight for it anyway. Because there are people in this world that kill the monsters so you don't have to. They hold the gates shut with their bare hands. They are intelligent. They are dangerous. And when you tell them that everything they sacrificed for wasn't up to your specifications, that they are the monsters, well, some might repent, but others, others will show you what this world looks like when the gates are wide open.

James Greer
You know, Mike, I appreciate you being here. But you don't have to be.
Mike November
I know that. You know what's funny? You and Jack, you guys are always going at each other, what's right, what's wrong. Both just struggling to accept the real fucking truth. Me? I came to terms with it a long time ago.
James Greer
And what truth is that?
Mike November
The three of us, the only family we're ever gonna have. Once you know that, you know exactly where you're supposed to be.
