Annie Montrose Quotes in The Martian (2015)

Annie Montrose: I mean, what are we gonna say, "Dear America, remember that astronaut we killed and had a really nice funeral for? Turns out he's alive and we left him on Mars. Our bad. Sincerely, NASA". I mean, do you realize the shit storm that is about to hit us?

Annie Montrose: What the hell is "Project Elrond?"

Vincent Kapoor: I had to make something up.

Annie Montrose: But "Elrond?"

Mitch Henderson: Because it's a secret meeting.

Annie Montrose: How do you know that, and why does Elrond mean secret meeting?

Bruce Ng: The Council of Elrond. It's the... it's... it's... from The Lord of the Rings. It's the meeting where they decide to destroy the one ring.

Teddy Sanders: If we are going to call something Elrond, I would like my code mane to be Glorfindel.

Annie Montrose: I hate every one of you.

Annie Montrose: But if something goes wrong?

Vincent Kapoor: Then we lose the crew.

Vincent Kapoor: We don't.

[pointing to Teddy]

Vincent Kapoor: He does.

Mitch Henderson: Yeah, bullshit. It should be Commander Lewis' call.
