Richard Chamberlain: Jason Bourne

Quotes 

• Jason Bourne : Oh, my God. What have you done?

  Gen. François Villiers : She had made a date, my wife. What you suggested - she was - his whore. I had no choice. She destroyed my son, my name, my honor. My life has been service to France. She made of it a mockery.

  Jason Bourne : And now you're going to kill yourself?

  Gen. François Villiers : When I am dead, there will be no one to question. No proof, only the whisper of killers and thieves.

  Jason Bourne : So, in the end, Carlos kills you too, without so much as wasting a round of ammunition. Beautiful.

• Jason Bourne : I won't ask you to fight, the odds being what they are, just the two of us against everybody...

  Gen. François Villiers : No, I can't.

  Jason Bourne : I know, I know. So lie down on the bed, next to your whore, General, and die. You're no match for Carlos, you self-pitying old man!

  Gen. François Villiers : I have killed many men in my life, many men...

  Jason Bourne : Good idea! Kill me too, so Carlos sweeps the board. Go on, fire. Kill me! Take your orders from Carlos, soldier!

• Madame Jacqui : Madame Jacqui That was a lovely meal, Monsieur Briggs. Merci.

  Jason Bourne : Jason Bourne Call me Charley.

  Madame Jacqui : Charley.

  Jason Bourne : Now, I understand through my associates, that you know the work of a man I might want to employ. Jason Bourne.

  [Jacqui is startled] 

  Jason Bourne : Madame Jacqui, there's nothing to be alarmed about. All I want is information.

  Madame Jacqui : I have no information. I don't know who you are talking about.

  Jason Bourne : Don't you? Then why is your phone number on the fiche confidentiale of his bank account?

  Madame Jacqui : That's a lie. You know nothing.

  Jason Bourne : I know enough to expose Koenig in Zurich, D'Armacourta at the Valois Bank, and you of course. If I did expose you, do you know how quickly you'd be eliminated?

  Madame Jacqui : You are insane. You expose any of us any where and you won't last the day. He has men every where. They will cut you down in the street.

  Jason Bourne : Tell me about Bourne.

  Madame Jacqui : You heard that he was the equal of Carlos, am I right?

  Jason Bourne : His equal? I heard they were the same man.

  Madame Jacqui : So now Bourne is claiming even to be Carlos? Monsieur!

  Jason Bourne : So Bourne isn't Carlos?

  Madame Jacqui : Bourne is a poser. He works alone. Carlos' strength lies in his far reaching sources of information.

  Jason Bourne : Sounds like too many people to me.

  Madame Jacqui : All blind, Monsieur.

  Jason Bourne : Blind?

  Madame Jacqui : To put it plainly, I have been part of this operation for over 15 years. I have yet to meet a single person, who has even spoken to Carlos, or a single person who knows where he is.

  Jason Bourne : And Bourne, what do you know about Bourne?

  Madame Jacqui : An American.

  Jason Bourne : When did he come to Europe to Carlos' attention?

  Madame Jacqui : Three years ago. First a lot of activity in Asia. An ambassador was assassinated in Moulmein. Two days later a Japanese politician was killed in Tokyo. A week after that, a newspaper editor was blown out of his car in Hong Kong. Behind each of these - Bourne. But Carlos realized what none of us understood: that Bourne was moving to Europe, to Paris in fact. that he was out to destroy Carlos.

  Jason Bourne : Calcutta, Oman, Sheik Mustafa Kalig!

  Madame Jacqui : A lie! A deliberate lie! Bourne failed more than once. He accepted too many contacts in too short a time. Yet whenever he did, he would follow an aborted kill with a spectacular unsolicited one. He would select a prominent figure and phew.

  [Waves hand] 

  Jason Bourne : And Bourne, why does Bourne want to destroy Carlos?

  Madame Jacqui : Because he intends to become Carlos!
