Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Victor Strand : [Victor Strand talks to the weeping Doug Thompson in the cage fences of the military base]  Fire, earthquake, flood. You bought it all, didn't you? That's not a question. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. I look at a person like you and I know. You are a buyer. How do I know? Because I am a closer. I can sell anything, everything. Ask anyone. Except, uh, insurance.

  Victor Strand : [Victor chuckles, leaning on his knee beside Doug]  Can't stomach it. preying on people so weak, so frightened of the future that they entrust the protection of their family to a piece of paper. To some promise of a corporation. What kind of man does that? Puts his wife and children in the hand of strangers. People he's never even met. Then one day... the man is gone. His family alone. The wolf comes to the door. And, well, no one's covered for that.

• [Victor Strand talks to Nick about the rules and game changing in this new world] 

  Victor Strand : The game has changed. We return to the old rules. And the people who won the last round with their Grande Lattes and their frequent flyer miles are about to become the buffet.

• [Victor Strand see's the photograph Doug Thompson holds tightly in his hand] 

  Victor Strand : [Victor takes the photo from Doug's hand]  I presume this is the wife.

  Doug Thompson : Maria.

  Victor Strand : Did Maria keep herself up?

  Doug Thompson : What?

  Victor Strand : Her figure, Douglas. Her shape. Does the current Mrs. Doug still resemble the woman in this picture.

  Doug Thompson : [Doug cries]  Yeah.

  Victor Strand : See there, now? I'd say your luck is changing.

  Victor Strand : [Victor chuckles]  Absolutely.

  Victor Strand : [Victor stands up walking away with the photo, chuckling]  Body like that... it's just the ticket to help her latch on the kind of man that's gonna help her through all of this.

• [Victor Strand walks over to the other corner of the cage fence] 

  Victor Strand : So, then... who the hell are you?

  [Victor looks down to see Nick look up at him] 

• [Victor Strand tells Nick that he'll need Nick for his certain talents] 

  Victor Strand : I look at you, and I see someone who knows the meaning of necessity.

  Nick Clark : Well, I'm an addict.

  Victor Strand : No, you are a heroin addict. That's the gold standard. Don't sell yourself short. The soldiers are leaving. I'm gonna require a man with your talents when I make my move.

  Nick Clark : What move?

  [Victor reveals the key to their fence]
