Jeanette: I have to go to bed soon. I work in the morning.
Avner: What kind of work do you do?
Jeanette: [taking a long drag on her cigarette] The kind that drives you to drink.
Avner: We must have the same job then.
Ephraim: We have 11 Palestinian names. Each had a hand in planning Munich. You're going to kill them, 11 men, one by one. They're all in Europe now. You'll stay there as long as it takes. Europe only, not the Arab countries. That's for us, not you. And not Eastern Bloc. Don't upset the Russians. Who needs it? You'll have no contact with us.
Avner: You're
not going to give me any information?
Ephraim: We deposit money from a fund that doesn't exist into a box we don't know about, in a bank we never set foot in. We can't help you because we never heard of you before. You'll do what the terrorists do. You think they report back to home base? They don't. We want them dead.
Mossad Accountant: In the operational funds box we will deposit 250,000 American dollars. You take it out - we put more in. I want receipts!
[he slams his hand on his desk for emphasis]
Mossad Accountant: You are not working for the Baron Rothschild! You're working for Israel, a small country! I'm an old Galicianer from a mud hut in the Ukraine, and
I don't trust Yekke putzes let loose in Europe with unlimited operational expenses!
Ephraim: First you resign from Mossad,
[handing him a document]
Ephraim: Your new contract. It says we do not employ you, offer you benefits or pensions or legal aid or medical assistance. It's a contract that there is no contract.
Avner: Do I get a copy?
Ephraim: You don't!
[handing him a check]
Ephraim: Your pension contribution refund! You're now officially unofficial, unemployed and uninsured.
Avner: [catching the scent of an attractive woman's perfume outside Carl's hotel room, sotto voce] Carl, you asshole... I saw her first!
Papa: In my despair I have fathered madmen who dress like factory workers but never do manual labor, who read nonsense and spout pompous bullshit about Algerians and, and who love nothing, not Algerians or French or flesh and blood or anything living.
[to Louis, pointedly]
Papa: So I have sympathy for a man who can say "I have a papa." Who does what
he must for his family.
Louis: Europe has never been this interesting since Napoleon invaded Russia.
General Zamir: [after giving orders to assassinate those responsible for Munich] Do you have any questions?
Avner: So this isn't about guarding tourists on El Al jets?
General Zamir: No questions? Did we mention how dangerous this is?
Daphna: We should stay at home.
Avner: You are the only home I ever had.
Daphna: [laughs] This is so corny.
Avner: What? That took a lot for me to say!
Daphna: I bet. Why did I have to marry a sentimentalist? You're ruining my life.
Avner: [to their newborn baby]
Your mother's teasing me.
Avner: [interrupting a rambling explanation from Carl] Stop... chasing the mice inside your skull.
