Quotes

Jack Ryan : Perhaps if I'd had more time to think about it, I would've preferred to do something else.
Barrister Atkinson : So you're saying you didn't have time, is that it?
Jack Ryan : That's correct.
Barrister Atkinson : So you didn't.
Jack Ryan : Didn't what?
Barrister Atkinson : Think, sir. You didn't think is the point I believe you're trying to make. No. Instead, you raced into a situation of which, by your own admission, you had no understanding, attacked my client, who was, in fact, another pedestrian hurrying to help.
Jack Ryan : Wearing a ski mask.
Barrister Atkinson : Shot a second man in the chest, this one taking you, can it be...
Jack Ryan : After they shot me.
Barrister Atkinson : ...three shots at point-blank range in order to fell the second victim.
Jack Ryan : I used that force I deemed necessary.
Barrister Atkinson : I should say so. I doubt very much whether anyone in this courtroom would disagree.
Jack Ryan : Excuse me. I didn't make this happen, sir.
Barrister Atkinson : No further questions.
Jack Ryan : [pointing at Miller] He did.
