  Dominika Egorova : Then you can't know, can you?

  Nate Nash : [laughs]  Good point.

• General Korchnoi : After you turn me in, you would be a hero. Beyond suspicion. The ideal position to take my place, and continue my work with the Americans. Make your uncle and his kind pay for what they've done to our country.

  Dominika Egorova : They'll kill you.

  General Korchnoi : Something will slay us all. You have the power to decide whether I die in vain. You are better at this than any of us. This is the only way for you to return to your mother.

  Dominika Egorova : You sent Matorin, didn't you? So I wouldn't have a choice.

  General Korchnoi : So that you would see.

  [shakes his head] 

  General Korchnoi : You never did.

  [turns around, walks off] 

• Nina Egorova : I warned you about him. The way he looked at you as a child. I tried to keep him away. I tried to protect you. You hold something back. Don't give him all of you. That is how you survive.

  Dominika Egorova : [tearfully]  Yes, mama.

• General Korchnoi : You did well with Ustinov in Moscow. That is why you were given this chance. You were told what would happen to you if you failed here. Why not let him have you?

  Dominika Egorova : I serve the State. I serve our President. I serve you, General. But I owe him nothing.

  General Korchnoi : What sort of man would send his niece to State School Four?

  Dominika Egorova : A patriot.

  General Korchnoi : My wife and I saw you dance once.

  Dominika Egorova : That was a different life.

  General Korchnoi : There are so many. Don't you find? You may go.

• Vanya Egorov : I made you special again. You have a gift like me. You see through people. You see them for what they really are. You do this for me, and I'll let you go if that's what you want. But I feel you won't. This is what you are meant to do.

  Dominika Egorova : Yes, uncle.

• Dmitri Ustinov : And what is it you want from me?

  Dominika Egorova : All I ever wanted was to be a dancer. Ever since I was a small child. And I would take the bus to rehearsal after school. And I would look out of the windows at the people going about their lives. Going to work, half asleep. And I would tell myself, I'm not like them. And I never will be. Because I'm special. I want to be special again.

• Nate Nash : You were dancing for them because they were letting you, I mean, you see it now, right? You belong to them pretty much your whole life. So, Dominika, work with me. Make this something that you own for the first time in your life. And make them, make them fucking pay.

  Dominika Egorova : What is it you want from me?

  Nate Nash : Whatever you can give us. But if I had my choice, access to your uncle.

  Dominika Egorova : Be your spy? Is that... any different from being his?

• Dominika Egorova : I think one day you will understand.

  Nate Nash : No, I don't think I will. Some things can't be sacrificed. We don't throw people away.

• Dominika Egorova : You knew what would happen once I got into that room, didn't you?

  Vanya Egorov : You wouldn't have gone if I told you what had to happen.

  Dominika Egorova : I would have had a choice!

  Vanya Egorov : You know what to do. You came to me. That was your choice.

  Dominika Egorova : You're my uncle...!

  Vanya Egorov : I would never have let him hurt you.

  Dominika Egorova : He was inside me!

  [sobs:] 

  Dominika Egorova : I don't want to die!

  Vanya Egorov : You don't have to. There's another life waiting for you if you want it. You have potential, great potential. Now, you did well to get him alone. What you said in that bar was exactly right, because you told him exactly what he needed to hear. There is a program... that can teach you what you need to know. The training is very hard. Only a few make it. But you know how to survive. That's why I chose you. Unless if I'm wrong. Perhaps you don't like my line of work. Perhaps you disapprove. In that case... . your future will be out of my hands. I'm sorry.

• Dominika Egorova : Call Zakarov. Tell him... I have what he wants. I have the name of the mole.

  Russian Ambassador : [obviously self-serving]  Why don't you tell me? And I'll pass it on.

  Dominika Egorova : [scoffs]  Listen to me very carefully. You are an errand boy. I have an errand. You will call Zakarov, you will tell him to make a trade. Me for the mole. Once it is arranged, I will give the name to Zakarov personally. Do this right, Mr. Ambassador, and I might even tell them this was your idea.

  Russian Ambassador : [gets up laboriously]  I'll see what I can do.

• Dominika Egorova : In my country, if you don't matter to the men in power, you do not matter. Is it so different in your country?

  Nate Nash : It's supposed to be, but...

• Dominika Egorova : [classical music playing]  I danced my first solo to this. It's Grieg. I was so nervous... the night before, I couldn't sleep. And then I played this music in my room, and after I fell asleep, I dreamed that... the music was color, and I could paint all the audience's faces with my hands.

• Nina Egorova : You don't have to do this.

  Dominika Egorova : It's too late for that now.

  Nina Egorova : Oh, no. What have you done?

• Dmitri Ustinov : Terrible what happened to you.

  Dominika Egorova : Just bad luck.

  Dmitri Ustinov : I don't think you believe that. My father drank himself to death by the age of 43 and left us with nothing. Now, I could buy this place and anyone in it. Is that luck? You think anyone born in my situation could have done the same? There is no such thing as luck. Just like you being here. There is no friend, is there? Tell me the real reason you are here.

• Dominika Egorova : You were right about Sparrows. We are special. Do you know what they teach us?

  [starts rubbing Volontov's crotch] 

  Dominika Egorova : How to determine what a lover needs. And I knew what you needed from the first time l ever saw you. Someone not to laugh at your microscopic prick.

• Dominika Egorova : I want to watch you do. Look at me.

  [takes off her shirt] 

  Dominika Egorova : Look at me.

  [takes off her bra] 

  Dominika Egorova : I said look at me.

  [takes off her skirt and her underwear, sits on the table with her legs spread] 

  Dominika Egorova : Well?

  [Nate pulls down his pants] 

  Dominika Egorova : What are you waiting for? I'm ready. Are you gonna fuck me or not?

• Dominika Egorova : You said you could help us.

  Vanya Egorov : If you help me.

• Dominika Egorova : I will do what is asked of me.

• Dominika Egorova : Will you help me?

  Marta : I don't have a fucking choice.

• Nate Nash : What do you want from me, Dominika? I think you should probably go home and figure it out.

  Dominika Egorova : I'll see you tomorrow.

  Nate Nash : You know where to find me.

• [last lines] 

  Dominika Egorova : Hello? Hello.
