Nina: I'll only get the pardon if I stop the bomb. Why wouldn't I do everything I can?
Jack: Because you're worse than a traitor, Nina. You don't even have a cause. You don't believe in anything. You would sell anyone and everything out to the highest bidder. (edit) Mason: (referring to Jack) What can I say? The guy's a little crazy...that's why I didn't want him here in the first place. But he gets results and we need some pretty big results here. (edit) Nina: So Ed, how are ya?
Agent Ed Miller: Don't talk to me, Nina. I'm here because I have to be, not because I'm your friend.
Nina: Well, you're here because they think after I help stop the bomb, Jack will try to kill me. Which, of course, he will. What if you can't stop him? I mean, no offense, but Ed, let's face it: you're no match for Jack. You're just not that ruthless. So he manages to get around you and pull the trigger. What happens then? Because of the pardon, he knows if he kills me, he'll spend the rest of his life in jail.
Agent Ed Miller: Jack, if you know of another way to shut her up that I'm not thinking of...
Nina: Of course, Jack's mind is thinking, "That's not such a bad deal." Small price to pay to avenge his wife's death. But what about his daughter? Is he thinking about her? She's already lost one parent. If he kills me, she'll have no one. Jack knows I'm right. He should just use me to stop the bomb, and then go home to Kim. She needs you, Jack. (edit) Nina: He is going to put a bullet in my head before I can say hello and then he's going to turn the gun on himself.
Jack: We'll make sure he doesn't turn the gun on himself. (edit) Jack: You should go be with your family, George.
Mason: You should go get on the plane. (edit)
