Kane
edit- [Letter to Jenny] Dear Jenny, I've been trying to write you this letter for fourteen years. Today's my last chance. This afternoon I will pay for my mistakes with my life. It's only fair. As you know if you've read the papers, my life as a mercenary and all the pain I've caused, most of it is true. I should regret it all, I should be scared of dying, but I'm not. I can't anymore. The only feeling I have left is regret, regret that I'll never get to know you. You are all that matters. Sorry I never understood. Your father, Kane.
- [Beating Mute to death after Mute killed his wife] YOU SHOULD.. HAVE LET.. ME TALK TO THEM!
- Look I'm gonna be doing some things she shouldn't see. So you just shut up and help me carry my wife.
- Those ain't exactly ulcer pills are they?
- I've owed you this for a long time. And I pay my debts, to the penny.
- Some things shouldn't be rushed.
- Fuck! That old fucker took it!
- [Repeated line to his daughter] Jenny I wrote you a letter.
- [Over his wife's grave] I'm so sorry...I'm sorry it ended like this, and I'm sorry I couldn't just die. But I swear. I'll find them all before they find Jenny. I'll kill them all before they even look at her.
- [to Lynch] Nobody gets away with what you just did!
- [Repeated line] "The fuck I did!"
Lynch
edit- [Repeated line] Like you're a fuckin' saint.
- [Slaughtering hostages in a psychotic episode] You want some, I'LL FUCKING GIVE YOU SOME! GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH! Fuck, get away from me. Why do you keep doing that. Stupid fuck...WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? IS THAT ALL YOU GOT! Stop, you're only faking it! Fake this, UNDERSTOOD!
- THERE YOU ARE, YOU FUCKERS! DON'T BE SO FUCKING QUIET!
- All I can say is that I'm probably not responsible for my wife's death. More than you can say right?
- Look my wife was murdered five years ago. Back then I didn't do shit about it. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I wanna kill em as much as you do.
- Don't fuckin' patronize me!
- Fuck, I hate heights, I can't believe we're going through with this..
- [About Kane getting his daughter killed] Asshole, you shoulda taken that chopper! It was your only chance, just deal with it. Didn't even fucking know her.
- [Over radio] Oh there you are, thought you could sneak up on me! Stupid fuck, I already killed you twice! STOP DOING THAT!
- Fuck you preacher boy, you don't know shit!
Elder Brother
edit- You betrayed us Kane, you left us behind and ran with it all.
- You know I have to kill you, but I'm offering you a chance. Bring it all back and I'll let them go.
- I treated you like a son.
- You're old and slow. You're just gonna get her killed. Just like you got her brother and her mother killed.
Rific
edit- Grimley and Madsen got fried last year!
- So you finally snap and kill that shit of a little brother?
- These clothes suck.. I mean, I just got out of prison!
- Sounds like they're getting slaughtered down there.
- Hello Kane, didn't figure you'd break in here just to kill me.
- Kane we're trapped in the church up the hill, if you can hear me get us out!
Shelly
edit- [About his religion] I don't know it must be a death row thing. Either way it doesn't matter, I want out.
- [About Lynch] I know of him. He killed his wife and did a real nasty job of it too.
- Who made YOU the boss, wife killer?
- Fuck Kane, he ran with the load...son of a bitch!
- Kane I heard you, "I don't give a fuck about the men, just shut that thing off and drive". Don't worry you're gonna die here too.
- Fuck you Kane, I owe you nothing. You're on your own. That fucking boat is mine.
Carlos
edit- I'm sorry Kane, but you know we can't bend the rules.
- I'll see to it they're buried somewhere nice...Goodbye old friend.
- Easy there, crazy boy.
Others
edit- Mute: Get on your knees.
- Thapa: Kane back off, just cause I'm not armed doesn't mean I can't kill you.
- Thapa: Kane,I can't trust you anymore. You're on your fucking own. I'm done fighting for nothing.
- Younger Brother: I should fucking cut you up right here and now.
- Younger Brother: Hey don't get me wrong, Kane. I'm fuckin' thrilled it turned out this way.
- Jenny: You fucking traitor, why couldn't you just die!
- Vaultbreaker: You're stealing your own shit?
- Getaway Driver: You wanna get up here and drive, you fucking shit!?

- Elder Brother: Oh rest assured we will. You betrayed us Kane. You left us behind and ran with it all.
- Kane: The fuck I did.[Younger Brother brings him to his knees]

- Kane: You got what? I don't believe you, I wanna talk to them!

- Kane: Alright, grab the rope. I'll show you how to rappel.[Lynch takes some pills]
- Lynch: I fuckin' hate heights.
- Kane: What are they for?
- Lynch: Nothin' serious, it's just for my stomach. Been taking em since forever.
- Kane: Just pick up the damn rope.[security guards enter the building] Fuck!
- Lynch: Where did they come from?
- Kane: They must've heard the shots.
- Lynch: Great, just what we need. Still wanna rappel down?
- Kane: Of course not. We take the stairs.
- Kane: You're hands are shaking. I thought you sobered up.
- Vaultbreaker: I did, but that shit never really leaves you.
- Vaultbreaker: You got a keycode? You're stealing your own shit?
- Kane: Not your concern.
- Vaultbreaker: Not my concer- not my fucking concern?!
- Kane: [on seeing the locker empty]Shit, it must be here.
- Vaultbreaker: This is bullshit!
- Kane: We gotta open them, open them all.
- Vaultbreaker: Look I always trusted you...
- Kane: [lunges at the Vaultbreaker] Then don't fuckin' question me, just blow all of them!
- Vaultbreaker: Okay, okay you fucking prick. But after this you and I are done.
- Kane: Lynch, how's everything going up there?
- Lynch:[Over radio] So hot in this goddamn gas mask. I got it under control!
- Lynch:[Kane and the vaultbreaker find Lynch killing hostages] You want some? I'LL FUCKIN' GIVE YA SOME! Goddamn son of a bitch, fuck...Get away from me. Why do you keep doin' that? Stupid fuck...WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT? Is that all you got?!
- Vaultbreaker: Jesus Christ, he killed the hostages! How fucked is that?

- Lynch: What are you a fuckin' joke?[To Kane] What where the hell have you been?
- Police on megaphone: YOU ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED, NOW COME OUT HERE WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
- Kane: Hey stop killing hostages!
- Lynch: I'm not!
- Kane: Snap out of it, Lynch!
- Lynch: "Snap out of it", what the fuck is that supposed to mean?
- Lynch: That was great, we got away!
- Kane: Great? What the fuck happened back there?!
- Lynch: I told ya, the gas mask was hot and I-
- Kane: So you kill everyone?!
- Lynch: Listen to me, it was really warm, I couldn't see. And the police were everywhere... I'm telling you they were swarming!
- Kane: But why did you kill the hostages?
- Lynch: Why? What do you mean? They were waking up, they wouldn't stay still I just tried to stop them.
- Kane: Don't fuckin' talk to me! You just get your shit together, you hear me?
- Lynch: Well at least we got away.
- Kane: Nobody gets away with what you just did!
- Kane:[Afte Lynch collapses during a highspeed pursuit/shootout] What are you doing? Get up here and help!
- Lynch: I can't...
- Kane: What, now you suddenly can't kill cops?
- Lynch: No I mean... fuck, what happened back there?
- Kane: You mean you don't remember?
- Lynch: Aw oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, why do I always fuck up?!
- Kane: Lynch, I need your help here snap the fuck out of it!
- Lynch: How many did I kill?
- Kane: More than you wanna know.
- Lynch: Dammit! I have black outs, I get violent and it gets so fucking horrible afterwards! I thought could control it but I can't, I can't. [Takes his pills] Just need a few of these.
- Kane: Those ain't exactly ulcer pills are they?
- Lynch: We could've gone to the hotel first. Twelve hours on a fuckin' plane, my neck is killing me!
- Kane: Stop bitching, we still got a long night ahead of us.
- Lynch: "Bitching"? I'm not bitching, I just hate being ignored. Could you at least tell me why you think she can get the briefcase or you don't know?
- Kane: Just do as I say and we'll get it. And keep it down.
- Lynch: Hey you still answer to me you arrogant fuck! [to bouncer] Relax, I've got nothing.
- Lynch: You're right, I already hate this place. All these rich spoiled brats...
- Kane: Her office is down the back, just do your best to blend in. If she find out I'm here it's going to be hell getting to her.
- Lynch: She won't even see you? Oh, that's just great.
- Kane: Look Lynch, we've been through this conversation over and over again. Just stick to the plan!
- Lynch: This place is stressing me out.
- Kane: Then take your pills!
- Lynch: Took the last one on that damn plane; I hate flying.
- Kane: Argh, you idiot! Just keep in check for a few more minutes.
- Lynch: I fucking hate people sweating on me... where's her office?!
- Kane: Up the stairs, now shut up!
- Lynch: Oh, you're so fucking full of yourself...
- Yoko: Kane! What are you doing here?
- Kane: Please, take it easy.
- Yoko: I'm surprised to see you, did my security let you in?
- Kane: I let myself in.
- Yoko: Does my father know you're here?
- Kane: I'm pretty sure he doesn't.
- Yoko: So what made you come crawling back?
- Kane: Yoko, I need your help here.
- Yoko: And why would I help you?[Lynch approaches]
- Yoko: You wouldn't.[Lynch punches Yoko out cold]
- Kane: That's enough.
- Lynch: Whoa, she's all limp. I didn't even hit her that hard.
- Kane: Just makes our job easier.[throws Lynch a roll of duct tape]
- Lynch: What's this for?
- Kane: Just business, Lynch. Her father has the briefcase.
- Lynch: [after picking up an unconscious Yoko] You had this all planned, didn't you? You fucking psycho!
- Kane: Let's just get her out of here.
- Lynch: For Christ's sake, you just got your own daughter kidnapped.
- Yoko: Do you know who I am?
- Kane: Lynch, shut her the fuck up!
- Lynch: Where's the goddamn duct tape?
- Yoko:[Yoko knees Lynch in the groin] I'm Retomoto's daughter you fuckhead!
- Lynch: Aw fuck!
- Kane: Come on we have to get to her.
- Lynch: Retomoto?! What have you made me do? Why didn't you tell me who she is?
- Kane: Because you would flake out if you'd known.
- Lynch: "Flake"? I wouldn't have done it if I knew!
- Kane: Now just get a grip we have to get a hold of her!
- Lynch: I have to give you that, you got some balls.
- Kane: What?
- Lynch: Dealing with Retomoto... Hanging with his daughter and all, did ya bang her?
- Kane: Fuck you, we all make mistakes and so what?
- Lynch: Nothing.
- Kane: Then just back off! I'm a little fuckin' edgy all right?
- Lynch:[Over radio] Kane you see anything yet? I can't see shit.
- Kane: Not much, it's pretty dark. You just keep looking.
- Lynch:[Over radio] Yeah, yeah I'll keep looking.
- Kane: Keep calm, Lynch.
- Lynch:[Over radio] The fuck do you mean by that? I am calm.
- Kane: Retomoto, I was hoping to see you in person.
- Retomoto:[Over phone] Mr. Kane I don't have the patience for your blackmail.
- Kane: You don't have a choice, you know I'll kill her.
- Retomoto:[Over phone] I do, but if we took the time to sit down and find a solution-
- Kane: I don't have time.
- Retomoto:[Over phone] Kane relax, I'm aware of what happened between you and The7. I know about your daughter too.
- Kane: ...I'm listening,
- Lynch:[Over radio] What's going on down there?
- Kane: Lynch keep quiet.
- Retomoto:[Over phone] You may find it hard to trust me, but there is a way we can solve this.
- Kane: What's on your mind?
- Lynch:[Over radio] Don't fuckin' negotiate, just get the damn briefcase!
- Retomoto:[Over phone] Kane we've done business before, I think in this case we have some common interests. We both stand to gain if we get rid of The7.
- Lynch:[Over radio] I'm serious just do as I tell you and don't fuck around!
- Kane: Lynch shut up!
- Retomoto:[Over phone] Is there a problem?
- Kane: No, no problem...
- Lynch:[To Yoko over radio] Stand still you bitch!
- Kane: ... Just give me a second, [To Lynch] Lynch, calm the fuck down!
- Lynch:[Over radio] Damn girl just won't stay still. STAY DOWN!
- Kane:[Gunshot is heard over radio] LYNCH! Retomoto don't!
- Kane: What happened up there?
- Lynch:[Over radio] Shit I just tried to stop her.
- Kane: Is she dead?
- Lynch:[Over radio] Uh I don't know... I guess so. I was aiming for her legs.
- Kane: Aw Fuck! You fucking idiot! I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE YOU! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?
- Younger Brother: Sure you did. Hey don't get me wrong Kane, I'm fuckin' thrilled it turned out this way.
- Kane: If you just give me a little more time. You don't have to involve my family, please they don't even know me.
- Elder Brother: Kane stop, I can't listen to your pathetic excuses anymore. You failed, that's all there is to it.
- Kane: Carlos, help me here.
- Carlos: There's nothing I can do for them.
- Kane: That's a fucking lie!
- Carlos: I'll see to it that they get buried somewhere nice. Goodbye old friend.
- Kane: Wait, you're leaving?
- Carlos: We're flying to Havana tonight, it's already begun. Mute will take it from here. Your family will arrive here in an hour.
- Kane: Do I get to talk to them?
- Carlos: Of course you do.
- Lynch: Yeah, like you can fuckin' believe that.
- Younger Brother: Fucking bum![Younger Brother kicks Lynch in the face knocking him out]
- Lynch: Looks like the rest are running away.
- Kane: Yeah but you never know. Keep me covered. I need to talk to my daughter.
- [Kane approaches his daughter and his wife's corpse]
- Kane: Are you hurt? Look at me. Are you okay? It's gonna be fine. I'm sorry...
- [Lynch hears something in the distance]
- Lynch: Kane,
- Kane:...I promise, no one will hurt you. What happened back then... I wrote you a letter.
- Lynch: Kane!
- Kane: What?!
- Lynch: Listen.
- Kane:'[To Jenny] Jenny you can't stay with me. It's too dangerous. Just run!
- [Jenny drives away]
- Lynch: Sure that was a good idea? Sending her off like that?
- Kane: I didn't have a choice did I?
- Lynch: Well I don't know...
- Kane: Look, I'm gonna be doing some things she shouldn't see. So you just shut up and help me carry my wife.
- [Kane and Lynch have just buried Kane's wife]
- Kane: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry it ended like this and I'm sorry I couldn't just die. But I swear I'll find them all before they find Jenny. I'll kill them all before they even look at her. [Kane takes out a notebook]
- Lynch: What's that?
- Kane: A list of dead men, just like me. Disowned and ruined by The7. They want revenge and no one else is going with me.
- Lynch: I should be on that list too.
- Kane: The fuck you should. You don't want revenge, you just wanna live.
- Lynch: You self centered shit. I'm not letting you outta my sight until The7 and Retomoto are dead.
- Kane: Well I don't know if I wanna-
- Lynch: Deal with it. Listen, my wife was murdered five years ago. Back then I didn't do shit about it. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I wanna kill em as much as you do.
- Kane: Your choice, get in. The men we need are only an hour away.
- [After raiding Retomoto's board room]
- Kane: I've owed you this for a long time. I pay my debts...To the penny.
- [Kane gives Retomoto a facial scar like his own before slitting his throat]
- Lynch: Come on, you're the one talking about keeping momentum and shit.
- [In the middle of a civil war in Havana, Cuba]
- Lynch: Oh fuck, oh fuck, OH FUCK! My ears are bleeding! I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS SHIT!
- Kane: Just get on your feet! We're moving in NOW!
- Lynch: NOW! You're gonna get us all killed, you idiot!
- Kane: I don't give a shit! As long as we get the7!
- Mercenary: Didn't expect you this soon, old timer.
- Lynch: Old timer?
- Kane: I know that voice. It's that motherfucker who broke my nose!
- Kane: That serum I made for you helping any?
- Lynch: Not really, just makes me care less.
- [Kane and Lynch find Jenny in the hands of The Brothers]
- Younger Brother: Kane, step back. One false move and we'll kill you.
- Kane: Let her go.
- Elder Brother: What's wrong with you? Look what you're putting your little girl through. And your old friend, Carlos.
- Kane: Leave her alone!
- Younger Brother: "Leave her alone." Do you hear that? That's Kane's favorite solution.
- Elder Brother: Leave it and flee.
- Lynch: [Whispering] Kane, the mine.
- Younger Brother: How about you take some resposibility for once, you fucking quitter!
- Kane: If you touch her I'll kill you.
- Elder Brother: No you won't. You're old and slow. You're just gonna get her killed. Just like you got her brother and her mother killed.
- Kane: I did not kill them!
- Younger Brother: Now didn't you ? You know Jenny here,she hates you for all you've done. She knows you're guilty.
- Kane: Jenny don't listen to them, I love you.
- Younger Brother: She even says she wants you dead.
- Elder Brother: Goodbye Kane. It happens to all traitors eventually.
- Kane: No! Not in front of her... [Kane shoots Carlos' landmine, killing the Elder Brother]
- [Kane has killed the Younger Brother and his men, saving Jenny]
- Kane: Jenny, are you alright... Baby, let me hold you.
- [Jenny sticks a gun in Kane's face]
- Jenny: Get the fuck away from me, you murderer!
- Kane: What? But why...
- Jenny: I said get the fuck away!
- Kane: Jenny I'm your father!
