Quotes 

• Sean Miller : I saw his wife and daughter die, but she and Neddy blew it. Ryan's still alive.

  Kevin O'Donnell : They're not dead, Sean.

  Sean Miller : What?

  Kevin O'Donnell : They survived it. I can't say it any plainer than that. It doesn't matter. Your trip served its purpose.

  Sean Miller : It *does* matter!

• Jimmy O'Reardon : Kevin. Charlie's gonna drop by tonight to try to straighten things out. Be smart. Talk to him. And hold your temper.

  Kevin O'Donnell : I promise. Thanks, Jimmy.

  [later, after O'Donnell kills three IRA hitmen who were sent to his house to kill him] 

  Kevin O'Donnell : That's me holding my temper, Jimmy-boy.

• Kevin O'Donnell : Fuck the bloody IRA. All these years of war, and they've got us nowhere. In its heart and soul, England is still a monarchy, and that is where we must strike... at the royals and the ruling class. You're either with us or against us, Jimmy Boy. Make up your mind.

• Kevin O'Donnell : Inspector Robert Highland, we meet at last. Tell me, what do they pay you to turn against your own people?

  Inspector Highland : Get on with it and be on your way.

  Kevin O'Donnell : Very well, if that's the way you feel about it.

  [Kevin hands his gun over to Sean, who then proceeds to kill Highland] 

• Kevin O'Donnell : There's laying about and laying low. There's a difference.

  Sean Miller : Is there?

• Kevin O'Donnell : But what Ryan done can't be undone. So you should stop thinking about it.

  Sean Miller : I can't.

• Annette Bearer : Sean, Americans hold their breath every time a little girl falls down a pipe in the backyard, but you've shot at one with a submachine gun on her way back from school.

  Kevin O'Donnell : Well, we've started the bleeding war. The Brits are tearing apart Belfast for the IRA, and their American money are denying the hits so loud, it only makes them look more guilty. The war is raging, and when it's over, we'll be the only ones left standing. Sean, I let you go for Paddy-boy, but that's it. We've got work to do, and it's not in Maryland!

• Jack Ryan : [pursued by Miller, O'Donnell, and Annette by boat]  Come on, you bastards! Come on! COME ON!

  Kevin O'Donnell : [realizing Ryan is using himself as bait]  He's alone! He's leading us away from the Royal! Turn around, Sean!

  Sean Miller : No.

  Kevin O'Donnell : Turn it 'round, Sean! Turn it 'round, Sean!

  Sean Miller : NO!

  Annette Bearer : Sean!

  Kevin O'Donnell : TURN IT 'ROUND! TURN IT 'ROUND!

  Annette Bearer : Forget about Ryan!

  Kevin O'Donnell : Don't blow the mission now, boy!

  Sean Miller : THAT'S NOT MY MISSION!

  [shoots O'Donnell dead] 

  Annette Bearer : You crazy bastard!

  [Miller shoots and kills Annette] 

• Kevin O'Donnell : Your guns!

  Inspector Highland : We aren't armed.
