Jack Ryan: I didn't sign up for this. This is someone's bullshit pollitical agenda. Who authorized this? Cutter?
Ritter: Cutter couldn't tie his own shoes without permission.
Jack Ryan: If I go down you're coming with me.
Ritter: Wrong again. I have an authorized get-out-of-jail-free card! "The President of the United States has authorized Deputy Director of the CIA Robert Ritter etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." You don't have one of these do you Jack? Gray! The world is gray Jack!
[Before commencing a covert action]
Ritter: Let me make this very clear: this is your deal, not mine, so unless I have written authorization, this whole thing is over before it starts because I'm not going to be the only one left without a chair when the music stops.
The President: These drug cartels represent a clear and present danger to the security of the United States.
The President: So go down there, establish it.
Jack Ryan: Go down where?
The President: Colombia.
Jack Ryan: Who, me?
[On whether Jack should investigate the growing scandal]
Admiral Greer: You took an oath, if you recall, when you first came to work for me. And I don't mean to the National Security Advisor of the United States, I mean to his boss... and I don't mean the President. You gave your word to his boss: you gave your word to the people of the United States. Your word is who you are.
Captain Ramirez: The chicken is in the pot, over.
Clark: Cook it!
Ritter: [on Cutter's computer] They're in. Congratulation, James, you've got your own little war.
Ritter: Jack, computer theft is a very serious offense.
Ritter: Oh, no, I've got my own autographed Get Out of Jail Free card!
Ritter: You see everything in black and white!
Jack Ryan: No, no, no! Not black and white Ritter, RIGHT and WRONG!
[Jack needs a helicopter]
Jack Ryan: I'm here to rent the Huey.
Helicopter owner: We don't rent it anymore, but it is for sale.
Jack Ryan: How much?
Helicopter owner: Two million dollars.
Jack Ryan: Uh, my pilot and I will have to take it for a test drive.
Helicopter owner: Of course, you just have to leave a deposit.
Jack Ryan: How much is that?
Helicopter owner: Two million dollars.
Jack Ryan: Umm...
[Shows a CIA business card]
Jack Ryan: Would you take a company check?
Clark: Hey, get out of my chopper!
Jack Ryan: No, no - *my* chopper.
[Hands Clark receipt]
The President: How dare you come in here and lecture me!
Jack Ryan: How dare *you*, sir!
The President: How dare you come into this office and bark at me like some little junkyard dog? I am the President of the United States!
Jack Ryan: I'm sorry, Mr. President, I don't dance.
[Chavez was able to close in on the Sergeant Major by using a cheeseburger wrapper as a decoy]
Sergeant Major: Soldier, how did you get so close to me?
Chavez: Sniper approached the instructor by being a sneaky bastard, Sergeant Major!
