Jack Harmen: [describing his "special" gum to Ethan in a Prague safe house] Stick of gum, right?

[Ethan shakes his head. Jack demonstrates]

Jack Harmen: Red light, green light. Come up against a lock you can't pick, you mash them together... *boom*. Hasta lasagna, don't get any on ya. You'll have about 5 seconds...

[hands the "gum" to Ethan]

Jack Harmen: Just don't chew it.

Jim Phelps: [in a safe house in a Prague] Any questions?

Ethan Hunt: Yeah. Could we get a capuccino machine in here? 'Cause I don't know what you call this.

Jack Harmen: I call it cruel and unusual.

Claire Phelps: Hey, I made that coffee.

Ethan Hunt: Exactly.

Ethan Hunt: [talking in a safe house in Prague, referring to his previous mission he was in charge of] Ahh, we missed you, Jim.

Sarah Davies: [as Jack is trying to get the elevator to them] Tell me, Senator, do you all have someone on your staff named Jack?

Ethan Hunt: [impersonating Senator John Waltzer] Jack... I believe we did have a Jack. An unreliable fellow as I recall. Constantly late, and behind in his work. I was forced to tie him behind one of my best stallions and drag him around my barn for a few days.

Jack Harmen: Relax your crack, Foghorn. I'm working on it

Ethan Hunt: Saved your ass again, Jack.

Jack Harmen: Give me a break, Pops.
