AGENT SMITH: The eagle has landed.
CASSIAN: I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
AGENT SMITH: Do not play games with us, Agent Beige.
CASSIAN: My name is Cassian. And this suit is tan, not beige.
AGENT SMITH: A classic diversion. Very professional.
CASSIAN: I'm just looking for the restroom.
AGENT SMITH: "The restroom." Code for the safehouse?
CASSIAN: No, code for "I really have to pee".
AGENT SMITH: Your commitment to the cover is impressive.
CASSIAN: What cover? I'm an accountant!
AGENT SMITH: An accountant. The perfect front.
CASSIAN: It's not a front, it's my actual job!
AGENT SMITH: That's exactly what a deep-cover operative would say.
CASSIAN: Why are you whispering?
AGENT SMITH: Because the walls have ears, Cassian.
CASSIAN: This is a shopping mall. The walls have advertisements.
AGENT SMITH: Coded messages in plain sight. Clever.
CASSIAN: I just want to find the toilets.
AGENT SMITH: Here is the briefcase. The blueprints are inside.
CASSIAN: Blueprints for what?
AGENT SMITH: Do not speak of the project aloud!
CASSIAN: Is it a new mall layout?
AGENT SMITH: It's the fate of the Western hemisphere.
CASSIAN: That seems like a lot for a Tuesday.
AGENT SMITH: Your nonchalance is your greatest weapon.
CASSIAN: I'm not being nonchalant, I'm confused!
AGENT SMITH: The target is moving toward the food court.
CASSIAN: I was actually headed there for a pretzel.
AGENT SMITH: A "pretzel." Another code.
CASSIAN: It's not a code! I just like salt!
AGENT SMITH: We have the extraction team ready at the fountain.
CASSIAN: I don't want to be extracted!
AGENT SMITH: The asset is compromised. Move now!
CASSIAN: Who is the asset? Is it me?
AGENT SMITH: Stop talking and follow my lead.
CASSIAN: Where are we going?
AGENT SMITH: To the rendezvous point behind the Cinnabon.
CASSIAN: I love Cinnabon, but this feels wrong.
AGENT SMITH: The scent of cinnamon masks the smell of gunpowder.
CASSIAN: Why would there be gunpowder at a mall?
AGENT SMITH: You're slipping, Agent Beige. Focus!
CASSIAN: I am focused on my bladder!
AGENT SMITH: A tactical urgency. I respect that.
CASSIAN: Please, just tell me who you people are.
AGENT SMITH: We are the Silent Hand.
CASSIAN: That sounds like a bad magic act.
AGENT SMITH: It is a global network of shadows.
CASSIAN: Can your network find the restroom?
AGENT SMITH: The restroom is currently a dead drop zone.
CASSIAN: I can't pee in a dead drop zone!
AGENT SMITH: Your dedication to protocol is admirable.
CASSIAN: There is no protocol! I just want to go home!
AGENT SMITH: "Go home." Code for the embassy?
CASSIAN: My house! With my cat! And my wife!
AGENT SMITH: Ah, the "wife" cover. Classic.
CASSIAN: Elara is not a cover! She's very real!
AGENT SMITH: We know about her. The handler in Berlin.
CASSIAN: Elara has never been to Berlin!
AGENT SMITH: A masterful lie. I'm impressed.
CASSIAN: Why is everyone acting like this?
AGENT SMITH: Because the world is a dangerous place, Cassian.
CASSIAN: It's a mall! The most dangerous thing here is the food court.
AGENT SMITH: Exactly. Biological warfare via mystery meat.
CASSIAN: I just wanted a pretzel...
AGENT SMITH: Shh! The contact is here.
CASSIAN: Who? That guy with the balloons?
AGENT SMITH: Do not look at him! He's a double agent.
CASSIAN: Why would a balloon man be a spy?
AGENT SMITH: Balloons are excellent for hiding microphones.
CASSIAN: You are insane.
AGENT SMITH: Insanity is the only way to survive this game.
CASSIAN: I didn't sign up for any game!
AGENT SMITH: Your signature is on the contract in Zurich.
CASSIAN: I've never been to Zurich!
AGENT SMITH: A perfect alibi.
CASSIAN: I'm just going to walk away now.
AGENT SMITH: You can't leave the mission mid-stream.
CASSIAN: Watch me!
AGENT SMITH: Wait! The briefcase is locked with a biometric scanner.
CASSIAN: So what?
AGENT SMITH: Only your thumbprint can open it.
CASSIAN: Why my thumbprint?
AGENT SMITH: Because you are the only one who knows the code.
CASSIAN: I don't know any code!
AGENT SMITH: The "code" is the sequence of the numbers.
CASSIAN: What numbers?
AGENT SMITH: The ones in your head, Agent Beige!
CASSIAN: All I have in my head is a desire for a pretzel!
AGENT SMITH: My god... the code is "Pretzel"!
CASSIAN: No it isn't!
AGENT SMITH: He's denying it to protect us. So brave.
CASSIAN: I am not brave, I am just a guy in a tan suit!
AGENT SMITH: Your modesty is your shield.
CASSIAN: Please just take the briefcase back.
AGENT SMITH: We can't. You are the carrier now.
CASSIAN: I don't want to be a carrier!
AGENT SMITH: The mission has begun. Good luck, Agent Beige.
CASSIAN: Where are you going?
AGENT SMITH: Into the shadows.
CASSIAN: You're just walking into a Gap store.
AGENT SMITH: A tactical retreat!
CASSIAN: I hate my suit.
AGENT SMITH: It's a masterpiece of camouflage!
CASSIAN: It's beige!
AGENT SMITH: Precisely. Invisible in plain sight.
CASSIAN: I'm going to the restroom now.
AGENT SMITH: Godspeed, you magnificent bastard.
CASSIAN: I just want to pee...
AGENT SMITH: The ultimate mission.
CASSIAN: Shut up.
