Quotes[]
Matilda Webber: Mac, you will be going in as Luke Arrington, an arms dealer with money to burn... Riley, you will be Emma Castillo, a notorious drug lord's girlfriend who's notorious in her own right for traveling with half her wardrobe. Should make it easy to sneak in all the gear you'll need to hack their system... Bozer, you will be Chet Walker, a money-laundering bad boy looking to spend some ill-gotten gains....Cage, you will be Francesca Moretti, heir apparent to a Sicilian crime family who may or may not be here to make someone disappear...And, Jack, you will be Ernie Bung, a disgraced accountant known for questionable bookkeeping.
Jack Dalton: Ernie Bung? Why can't I be Chet Walker? And a disgraced accountant? That's just shameful, that cover name sucks.
Matilda Webber: It was either that or a rogue chef who sells illegal bushmeat.
Jack Dalton: Dude is that my phone?!
Angus MacGyver: Maybe. (breaks it)
Jack Dalton: Back off Boze. I’ve been picking up hot chicks since the 3rd grade.
Vera Kazakova: My man here says you snapped a pictures of me earlier today.
Jack Dalton: Well nobody likes a tattle-tale, but yes. I'll admit it. I got the picture of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life.
Jack Dalton: Oh my God, Mac! I think I’m in love for real dude! After we rob this woman's casino blind, I'm going for it, off the books. Officially, unofficial bro.
Samantha Cage: OK, so, we are clear on the plan?
Jack Dalton: Cage. This isn't the first time I've done this.
Samantha Cage: What? Being handcuffed in a casino, or what we're about to do?
Jack Dalton: Both.
Jack Dalton: Is that what I think it is?
Angus MacGyver: A nuclear weapon?
Jack Dalton: Uh huh.
Angus MacGyver: Just a baby one.
Angus MacGyver: Well they are really interesting.
Jack Dalton: Yeah to who?
Angus MacGyver: You trying to die?! Take cover!
Jack Dalton: Let's go back and grab some of that moola!
Angus MacGyver: Probably don't want to do that. Anything that wasn't vaporized is gonna be radioactive for 10 thousand years.
