Paul Rhys: Ivan

Quotes 

• Ivan : I may be many things, Mitchell, but I am a man of my word. I will stand in that room and talk about how brave and strong we all are, how this is a fight that we can win. I will do that for as long as you need me to, but I... I can not do it, uh... dry.

  Mitchell : Do you have any idea what you're asking me to do?

  Ivan : I could say the same to you.

• Ivan : Well. That was a very creative reinterpretation of the rules.

  Mitchell : There aren't rules. There's one rule.

  Ivan : That's addicts for you, always looking for little loopholes.

• Ivan : Please don't say you got that idea from me.

  Mitchell : You should be pleased.

  Ivan : Pleased? Don't be fucking ridiculous. It's like when they dress up those bears and make them dance for the tourists in Istanbul. Have you ever seen that?

  Mitchell : No, I can't say I have.

  Ivan : This great big mountain of power and fury, done up in a fez and a waistcoat, and all the time just waiting for it to wake up, realize what it is and tear someone's throat out.

  Mitchell : Did you ever actually see it happen?

  Ivan : Yeah, yeah, I did. Horrific. I mean I've got photos if you want.
