[last lines]
Gabriel : All clear.
O'Reilly , Jackson : [rising and gasping for breath]
Gabriel : So, how was it?
O'Reilly : Believe me Gabriel, you don't want to know.
Gabriel : But it worked!
O'Reilly : Love... worked.
Gabriel : Amaratus pathum laborium!
Jackson : Are we going home now?

Jackson : At last.

O'Reilly : Human fucking beings. What do you have to do?

[Knock on the hideout's door]
Jackson : What is that?
O'Reilly : Answer it, Jackson.
Jackson : I can't do that. We're playing blackjack, she might cheat while I'm out of the room.
[Celine, who's bound and gagged, rolls her eyes]
O'Reilly : Fine. I'll answer the door, you play blackjack with the hostage.

O'Reilly : Our fee for the recovery of your daughter is... one hundred thousand dollars.
Naville : That's a lot of money.
O'Reilly : Five thousand in advance. The rest is cash on delivery - no daughter, no dough.
Jackson : And naturally we'd operate a sliding scale, whereby if we only bring back part of your daughter, we only get part of the money.
O'Reilly : That's enough, Jackson.
Jackson : No, I mean if he's cut her ears off and we can't find them, we'll knock a couple thousand off the tariff. More for a limb, obviously.
O'Reilly : Jackson.
Jackson : Sorry.

O'Reilly : Jeopardy, Jackson. Always works.

[after Robert ditches O'Reilly and Jackson in a car chase, they pull up behind his car]
Hiker : [laughing] No problem. Exactly as you predicted! "Quick, drive my car!"
O'Reilly : Here's $40.
Hiker : If you don't mind my asking, how did you know he was going to react like that?
O'Reilly : It's our job to know things like that.
Hiker : You mean you've done this sort of thing before?
Jackson : [from their car] Let's go!
O'Reilly : [to Hiker] You can take the car, but remember: it's stolen.

Jackson : I hate it down here. I hate the air, I hate the food, I hate the plumbing. I ache all over. I sweat in the heat and I ache in the cold. And why can't we stay someplace decent?
O'Reilly : Budget doesn't cover that.
Jackson : Exactly. Why not?
O'Reilly : You know those mysterious ways you keep hearing about, Jackson? Well, this is one of them.

O'Reilly : Jeopardy, Jackson, always works.

Naville : I want her back.
O'Reilly : Don't worry, we'll get her.
Naville : And I want him dead.
O'Reilly : That's understood, Mr. Naville.
Naville : Good.
[He places the suitcase with the ransom cash on the desk. Jackson starts to take it, but Naville slaps a hand down on it]
Naville : And when it's over, I want *this* back.
