  • [Richter and his men shoot Quaid numerous times, but he just gets up and starts laughing]

    Richter: [Realizing what's going on] Son of a bitch.

    [Quaid's image suddenly fades away and the real Quaid comes around the corner and starts shooting. Richter and several others manage to find cover]

  • Richter: So, how do you like our new dad?

    Billy: I like all our dads.

  • Richter: [looking at a report] There's just been a very serious penetration into our WOPR Execution Order file.

    Lyle Watson: What the hell's he saying?

    Arthur Cabot: Let's have it in English.

    General Beringer: I'll give it to you in English - somebody broke into Mr. McKittrick's well-known system and stole the codes that'll launch our missiles. That right, Mr. McKittrick?

    John McKittrick: There's no cause for alarm. The system won't accept the launch code unless we're at DEFCON 1. I can have those codes changed in less than an hour.

    Lyle Watson: Well, who did this?

    John McKittrick: I think the kid's got to be working with somebody on the outside.

    General Beringer: I don't know what they're up to, but I sure as hell don't want our bombers on the ground when it happens. Take us to DEFCON 3 and get SAC on the line...

    [looks around for Major Daves]

    General Beringer: ... where are you?

    Major Daves: Uh, sir.

    General Beringer: Oh, uh, and get me a report on those subs. I want to know what those bastards are up to.

  • Richter: He said they'd be killed publicly.

    Robert Langdon: Yes. Revenge... for La Purga.

    Richter: La Purga?

    Robert Langdon: Oh, geez, you guys don't even read your own history, do you? 1668, the Church kidnapped four Illuminati scientists and branded each one of them on the chest with the symbol of the cross... to purge them of their sins, and they executed them. Threw their bodies out into the street as a warning to others to stop questioning Church ruling on scientific matters. They radicalized them. The Purga created a darker, more violent Illuminati, one bent on... on retribution.

  • Robert Langdon: I need access to the Vatican Archives.

    Inspector Olivetti: Professor, I don't think this is the appropriate moment.

    Richter: Your petition has been denied seven times.

    Robert Langdon: No, no. This has nothing to do with my work. The Path of Illumination is a hidden trail through Rome itself that leads to the Church of the Illumination, the place where the Illuminati would meet in secret. If I can find the Segno, the sign, that marks the beginning of that path, the four churches along it may be where he intends to murder your Cardinals. One every hour at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00. Then the device explodes... at midnight. If we can figure out the first church and get there before he does, may be we can stop it. But I can't find the start of the path until I get into the Archives.

    Richter: Even if I wanted to help you, access to the Archives is only by written decree by the curator and the Board of Vatican Librarians.

    Robert Langdon: Or by papal mandate.

    Richter: Yes, but as you no doubt have heard, the Holy Father is dead.

    Robert Langdon: What about Il Carmerlengo?

    Richter: The Carmerlengo is just a priest here, the former Pope's chamberlain.

    Robert Langdon: Doesn't the power of the Holy See rest in him during Tempo Sede Vacante?

    [all the Vatican police men look at each other, with various degrees of doubt and uncertainty]

    Robert Langdon: Fellas... you called me.
