Brill Quotes:

  • Robert Clayton Dean: What the hell is happening?

    Brill: I blew up the building.

    Robert Clayton Dean: Why?

  • Brill: In guerrilla warfare, you try to use your weaknesses as strengths.

    Robert Clayton Dean: Such as?

    Brill: Well, if they're big and you're small, then you're mobile and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You only fight battles you know you can win. That's the way the Vietcong did it. You capture their weapons and you use them against them the next time.

  • Brill: You're blowing my whole life.

    Robert Clayton Dean: What life? You live in a fucking jar so the world can't touch you. And Rachel, you didn't give a shit about Rachel. Just some package under seat number 32 to you.

  • Brill: The government's been in bed with the entire telecommunications industry since the forties. They've infected everything. They get into your bank statements, computer files, email, listen to your phone calls... Every wire, every airwave. The more technology used, the easier it is for them to keep tabs on you. It's a brave new world out there. At least it'd better be.

  • Brill: If you live another day I will be very impressed.

  • Robert Clayton Dean: Steve? I thought you said his name was Bill.

  • Brill: In your phone was a GPS sat-tracker. Pulses at 24 gigahertz.

    Robert Clayton Dean: Obviously not that well.

    Brill: Kind of a jerk, aren't you?

    Robert Clayton Dean: No, I don't think so. This is my life, I worked hard for it and I want it back. I grew up without a father, I know what that is. And I will not allow my family to go through that.

  • Brill: You're transmitting. Get rid of your watch.

    Robert Clayton Dean: My wife gave me this watch.

    Brill: Then keep it.

  • Brill: Fort Meade has 18 acres of mainframe computers underground. You're talking to your wife on the phone and you use the word "bomb", "president", "Allah", any of a hundred keywords, the computer recognizes it, automatically records it, red-flags it for analysis. That was 20 years ago.
