Evelyn Salt Quotes in Salt (2010)

Evelyn Salt: What is your name?

Vassily Orlov: My name is Vassily Orlov. Today, a Russian agent will travel to New York city to kill the President. This agent is KA-12.

Evelyn Salt: The KA program is a myth.

Vassily Orlov: Don't you want to know the name?

Evelyn Salt: You're good. You can tell the rest of your story to one of my colleagues.

Vassily Orlov: Salt.

Evelyn Salt: Yes?

Vassily Orlov: The name of the agent is Evelyn Salt.

Evelyn Salt: My name is Evelyn Salt.

Vassily Orlov: Then you are a Russian spy.

Peabody: Hey. Why'd you kill him?

Evelyn Salt: Because somebody had to.

Peabody: [punches her hard]

Peabody: [to everyone else] What?

Evelyn Salt: By this, I take it you think everybody is who they say they are.

Ted Winter: At least I was right. I had a feeling we'd lost you back there in North Korea. I could see how moved you were by Mike's little white-knight routine. You were supposed to recruit him, Ev, not fall in love with him. That's why I told Orlov to pick him up. By the way, how is Mike?

Evelyn Salt: Orlov is dead.

Ted Winter: Well, that's good news. Saved me the trouble. I had to practically twist his arm to get him blow your cover at the CIA. You see, he wanted you to come out of this alive.

Evelyn Salt: But you needed somebody to take the blame. I'm the patsy.

Ted Winter: And I'm the hero. Congratulations, Ev. You're about to become famous.

Peabody: How many more like you are there?

Evelyn Salt: Like me? None. Like him? More than you or I can handle alone.

Evelyn Salt: Do you have homework?

Salt's Young Neighbor: Algebra.

Evelyn Salt: I hate math.

Ted Winter: Look, Ev, try to stay calm.

Evelyn Salt: I'm not a goddamn Russian spy.

Ted Winter: I didn't say you were. Let's go to my office, we can sort this out.

Peabody: No, no. We gotta go to a secure location. Now.

Ted Winter: All right. Doesn't get any more secure than this. Ev? Five minutes.

Evelyn Salt: Call Protective Services, find Mike.

Ted Winter: I will.

Evelyn Salt: This is bullshit.

Ted Winter: [rattled by underling] "Sir"? Do I look like a "sir" to you?

Evelyn Salt: From head to toe. I'm surprised he didn't call you "Your Majesty".

Ted Winter: I like the ring of that. I think I'd prefer "Your Majesty".

Peabody: If I did believed you, and I'm not saying for a second that I do. But if I did, nobody else would.

Evelyn Salt: Well, maybe you can think of a way around that.
