Quotes 

• Bob Breiding : How did you get into Amsterdam, Mrs Brooks? There's no flag on your passport at the Schiphol or any of the neighboring airports.

  Annie Walker : Greece. I spent a week in the islands.

  Bob Breiding : Greek Immigration database is notoriously dysfunctional.

• Auggie Anderson : [as Annie gasps]  Sorry to surprise you by sitting in the dark. Although for me, it is basically just sitting.

  Annie Walker : [subdued voice, barefoot]  What are you doing here?

  Auggie Anderson : You left me a voicemail.

  Annie Walker : I can explain.

  Auggie Anderson : You're going to. Let's get you out of here first.

• Auggie Anderson : You once told me that you didn't have feelings for him. Is that not true? Is that what's driving this?

  Annie Walker : Why do you keep asking me that?

  [he sighs] 

• Auggie Anderson : This could get very messy. Are you okay with that?

  Annie Walker : Yeah.

  Auggie Anderson : This is a mistake. But at least we'll make it together.

• Auggie Anderson : [sailing along after their escape]  Do you see any tulips?

  Annie Walker : Not this time of year.

  Auggie Anderson : I'm gonna pretend there are tulips. And windmills. One of the benefits of being blind is... I can imagine the way things look, any way I like.

  Annie Walker : [smiles]  People, too?

  Auggie Anderson : Of course. One of these days, I'll describe you to yourself. It's a hell of a parlour game.

  Annie Walker : That's a plan.

  [smiles] 

• Annie Walker : Killing you would be the easiest thing in the world right now. But it won't solve anything.

  Khalid Ansari : So, why are you here... if not to kill me?

  Annie Walker : I'm here on behalf of Megan.

  [lowers pistol] 

  Khalid Ansari : How could that be? You killed her.

  Annie Walker : No, I didn't.

  Khalid Ansari : The CIA did.

  Annie Walker : When I tell you who did it, you're gonna realize... how insignificant you are.

  [retrieves documents from jacket's inside pocket] 

  Annie Walker : This is from the CIA file on your dad's company.

  [hands him the file, and as he opens it:] 

  Annie Walker : You recognize that man?

  Khalid Ansari : That's my father's bodyguard.

  Annie Walker : He killed Megan. I saw him. Your father ordered it.

  Khalid Ansari : This is impossible. My father told me it was the CIA.

  Annie Walker : Look at the file.

  [as he does:] 

  Annie Walker : I know what real love is. I saw that in Megan's eyes when she talked about you. Your father took that.

  Khalid Ansari : Why?

  Annie Walker : Perhaps he disapproved of your engagement. Perhaps he assumed she was a spy. Regardless, he had her killed.

  [as he stares at the photo of Megan's dead body:] 

  Annie Walker : You think you're his good son. His faithful servant, his trusted advisor. To him, you're nothing. You're gonna get on that helicopter, and you're gonna be filled with anger and questions. And on the long ride home, I want you to remember... that day in Paris, when you first told Megan you loved her, and what that felt like. You want a list of the names that betrayed you? Look no further than your father. He's the root of your problem.

  [as she retreats:] 

  Annie Walker : What you do with that information is up to you.

  [runs off] 

• [last lines] 

  Annie Walker : What are you saying?

  Auggie Anderson : Timing is everything. I wanted to talk now, Annie.

  Annie Walker : [chuckles]  What do you wanna talk about?

  [she closes her eyes as his hand lands on her midriff, glides up over her arm, to her shoulder, her neck... he cups her face... they kiss passionately] 

  Annie Walker : I'm glad we're having this talk.
