Jeb Quotes in Jack Reacher (2012)

Jeb: Hey. Outside.

Jack Reacher: Pay your check first.

Jeb: I'll pay later.

Jack Reacher: You won't be able to.

Jack Reacher: What I mean is, the cheapest woman tends to be the one you pay for.

Sandy: [stands up, angrily] I am *not* a hooker!

Jack Reacher: Well, a hooker would get the joke.

Jeb: [enters with his four buddies] What's this?

Sandy: He called me a whore.

Jeb: Is that true?

Jack Reacher: Well, nobody said whore. She inferred hooker, but I meant slut.

Punk: Hey. That's our sister.

Jack Reacher: Is she a good kisser?

Jeb: Hey. Outside.

Jack Reacher: Pay your check first.

Jeb: I'll pay later.

Jack Reacher: You won't be able to.

Jeb: You think?

Jack Reacher: All the time. You should try it.

Jeb: It's a great joke, but I'm gonna beat your ass. Do you want to do that here or outside?

Jack Reacher: Outside.

[gets up]

Jeb: Stay here, Sandy.

Sandy: I don't mind the sight of blood.

Jack Reacher: [walks by Sandy] When it means you're not pregnant, anyway.

Sandy: [Sandy, Jeb and four other guys all surround Reacher outside a bar]

[to Reacher]

Sandy: You still think you're funny now, creep?

Jeb: Shut your mouth, Sandy! No one is talking to you!

Jack Reacher: It's your last chance to walk away.

Jeb: [chuckles] Are you kidding? It's five against one.

Jack Reacher: [shakes his head] It's *three* against one.

Jeb: [perplexed] *How* do you figure?

Jack Reacher: Well, once I take out the leader, which is you, I'll have to contend with one or two enthusiastic wingmen. The last two guys, they always run.

Jeb: Oh, you, uh, you've done this before?

Jack Reacher: [reluctantly nods] It's getting late.

[Jeb moves in]

Jack Reacher: Remember, you wanted this.

[Jeb smiles and swings at Reacher, who ducks and elbows Jeb in the forehead, who falls to the ground]

Jack Reacher: It's okay.

[helps Jeb up]

Jack Reacher: Get up.

[kicks Jeb in the groin from behind, Jeb groans and Reacher pushes him aside with his foot. The other four move in closer]

Jack Reacher: Okay, let me know who's who. Let's get this done.

[Reacher easily takes down the other four, with him holding the last guy's foot under his arm. Two of the guys get up and both stare at Reacher with fear]

Jack Reacher: Really?

[kicks the last guy in the chest, who screams as he falls to the ground. The two guys run away as the cops come. Sandy runs away as well]

Cop: [points his gun at Reacher] On the ground.

Jack Reacher: That's a pretty impressive response time, fellas.

Cop: Do it!

[Reacher reluctantly gets down on the ground, next to a groaning Jeb]

Cop: Hands behind your back.

Jack Reacher: [to Jeb] Who hired you?

Jared Howe: It's a strange world.

Wanda: The strangest.

Jeb: [narrating] Our world isn't like the other worlds they came to. The way they see it, human beings are just so... alien. But if one of them can find a way to live with one of us, I wonder.

Jeb: This ain't a democracy. It's a dictatorship. It's a benign dictatorship, but it's a dictatorship just the same.

[first lines]

Jeb: The earth is at peace. There is no hunger. There is no violence. The environment is healed. Honesty, courtesy and kindness are practiced by all. Our world has never been more... perfect. Only, it is no longer our world. We've been invaded by an alien race. They occupy the bodies of almost all human beings on the planet. The few humans who have survived are on the run.

Jeb: [Narrates] ... There is no Hunger. There is no violence. The environment has healed. Our planet has never been more at peace. Only, it's not our planet anymore.

Jeb: Well, I think we all know what happens now!

Mrs. Calloway: Jeb, don't start!

Jeb: Now we all get eaten!

Mrs. Calloway: Jeb!

Audrey: But who would eat a chicken?

Grace: Now, let's not play the shame and blame game. This is an organic problem, and there's a holistic solution.

Jeb: You don't get this whole farm concept, do you, sister?

The Commander: Now, look Matthews. We are here to do a job. You just concentrate on doing yours.

Jeb: My job? Sir, I still don't understand what we're doing here...

Jeb: [Narrating] One day I rode up in the butte country...

[Approaching the burned out shell of a cabin]

Jeb: Came straight to this place just like I'd known the way. There was something in my life that ruined that house. That house was myself.

[Entering the charred remains]

Jeb: I'd seen it a million times before... the fireplace... the trap door...

[Walking outside again]

Jeb: Out back there was some cattle bones. All of a sudden I couldn't breathe, and then as I walked around the side, I came upon some unmarked graves. If that house was me, what part of me was buried in those graves?

Jeb: [to Thor] There was a black dog riding my back and yours.
