    Marshall: That's Nykwana Wombosi speaking in Paris the day before yesterday. He was an irritation before he took power, a problem when he was in power, and he's been a disaster for us in exile. Nicky Parsons: It's Bourne, isn't it? Ward Abbott: Okay, this is... Blackbriar. Blackbriar is a joint DOD communications program that we really feel has good traction to it. It's got legs. It'll run and run.

    Giancarlo: What's this? You tied these knots? So it starts to come back, eh? Bourne: No, it doesn't start to come back. The knots, like everything else, I just found the rope and I did it. The same way I can, I can read, I can write. I can add, subtract, I can make coffee, I can shuffle cards, I can set up a chessboard. Giancarlo: Yes, yes, it will come back... Bourne: No it's not coming back, goddammit, that's the point!

    Ward Abbott: I was recalling a conversation we had some time ago, talking about Treadstone. I seem to remember Nykwana Wombosi's name might have come up. Conklin: I'm not sure what we're talking about. Abbott: Someone tried to take him out. Tried, and failed. Was this Treadstone? Conklin: You're asking me a direct question? Abbott: Yes. Conklin: I thought you were never gonna do that. Abbott: What happened? Conklin: Well... We, uh, lost communication with our man. Abbott: This was almost two weeks ago. Conklin: We've been working 'round the clock, the whole unit. We've been sleeping down there. Believe me, we're doing everything we can. Abbott: And you don't let me know this? Conklin: You never wanted to before. Abbott: You never made a mistake before.

    Bourne: I don't know what happened! I don't know who this guy was! I don't know about that picture! I don't know who I am! Look, I'm-- You're acting like I'm trying to burn you here. I'm just trying to do the right thing. Marie: Nobody does the right thing. Bourne: Look, I can't run with you. I can't-- We run, I gotta live like this. I gotta-- I don't even know who I'm hiding from. These people know who I am. Now I gotta-- I gotta stay here. I gotta figure this out. Marie: So figure it out.

    Bourne: Who else is out here? Who else? How many you got with you? I'm not gonna ask you again. The Professor: I work alone, like you. We always work alone... Bourne: What do you mean? The Professor: Who are you, Rome? Paris? Treadstone, both of us. Bourne: Treadstone? The Professor: Which one? Bourne: Paris. I live in Paris. The Professor: Do you get the headaches? Bourne: ...Yeah. The Professor: Oh, I get such bad headaches. You know at night, when you're driving a car? I dunno, maybe it's something to do with the headlights... Bourne: What is Treadstone? The Professor: Treadstone sent pills, they said "Go to Paris"... Bourne: Is Treadstone in Paris? The Professor: ...Look at this. Look at what they make you give.

    Conklin: I can't fix this if I don't know what the problem is. Tell me what we're into, and I'll do the best I can. Why don't you talk to Marie, Jason? Let's ask Marie what she wants. Bourne: I don't think she gives a shit. She's dead. Conklin: I'm sorry to hear that. How did that happen? Bourne: She was slowing me down.

    Abbott: Well, so far, you've given me nothing but a trail of collateral damage from Zurich to Paris. I don't think I could do much worse. Conklin: Well, why don't you go upstairs and book a conference room? Maybe you can talk him to death.
