The Interpreter (2005)

Tobin Keller: You lose somebody, you lose somebody. I don't wanna lose two somebodies.

Nils Lud: Nils Lud. Dr Zuwanie's head of security. I thought since you were in a question-answering mood, I might ask one or two. Might I ask where you stand now politically, Miss Broome?
Silvia Broome: I'm for peace and quiet, Mr. Lud. It's why I came to the U.N. Quiet diplomacy.
Nils Lud: With respect, you only interpret.
Silvia Broome: Countries have gone to war because they've misinterpreted one another.

Silvia Broome: Do you know that the leading cause of death for beavers is falling trees?

Tobin Keller: You think that not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth.

Silvia Broome: Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

Silvia Broome: I walked away from Africa with nothing. No brother, no family, no lover, nothing... Just a belief that words and compassion are the better way. Even if it's slower than a gun.

FBI Agent King: It's hard to remember that Edmond Zuwanie was once a good man. That's not unusual for these guys. They all begin as liberators and 20 minutes later they're as corrupt as the tyrants they've overthrown. He liberated the country from one of the most corrupt governments on earth. Gave the people hope, and he was a hero. They need another name for what he is now.

Silvia Broome: What do you do when you can't sleep?
Tobin Keller: I stay awake.
