Enemy (2017)

Barbara Sukowa: Katarina Jones

Quotes 

• José Ramse : [having brought Olivia to Jones]  I saw her at Titan. Whole place went up in smoke, and there she was, like she was just waiting for it.

  Katarina Jones : Or you.

  José Ramse : How would I know?

  Katarina Jones : You did work with her for a quarter century, helped her profit off history. Markridge, the plague, Project Splinter. I'd say you know her better than most.

  José Ramse : She broke off from them in 2016, and her and the Witness have been in a dogfight ever since.

  Katarina Jones : Well, then she had thirty years to knock on our door.

  José Ramse : Or maybe it's bullshit. But it's bullshit that I thought you should know.

  Katarina Jones : Mr. Ramse, this place is so steeped in bullshit. It's the truth that I find hardest to believe.

  José Ramse : I gave you the enemy of your enemy giftwrapped in a bow. Could I see my friend now?

  Katarina Jones : After all you've done, huh? After all that we've done to each other. Come on, you and I know better. My friend's friend is no more trustworthy than my enemy's enemy.

• James Cole : Ramse and I tortured men for food, information, but never for fun.

  Katarina Jones : That woman was engineered to destroy the world, and she almost did it.

  James Cole : You're doing it wrong. People break when they're afraid. She's not afraid of pain. She's built for it.

  Katarina Jones : So what is she afraid of?

  James Cole : Being kept in a box. I went back, brought her here three months ago. We don't have time to break her, so I made some.

• Katarina Jones : Is there anything I can get for you? Blanket, perhaps?

  Olivia : Thank you, no. I'm strangely never more uncomfortable than when I'm comfortable.

• Olivia : Do you know what a golem is?

  Katarina Jones : Yeah. A children's tale, no?

  Olivia : A delicate figure, shaped from clay, brought to life by a single breath. Back then, my father would read to me, always through the glass. On my loneliest days, I would try to breathe life into my animals and dolls. They never spoke back.

• Olivia : Father made his golem out of DNA. You made yours out of metal.

  Katarina Jones : Is that what you think I'm doing here? Playing God?

  Olivia : Playing God lacks ambition. Why play at something when you can simply become it?

  Katarina Jones : You were made to be humble, I see.

• Katarina Jones : [to Olivia]  My machine takes but a fraction of a second to deconstruct the human body, yet it takes the brain roughly twice as long to process pain. In short, the subject is pieced back together before it can feel the agony of having been torn apart. Unless I decrease the relay speed. In that case, it opens a window for... Well, you'll see. Have a wonderful trip.
