Quotes 

• Aaron Brand : I can't go on with this. I can't go on with this! I'm an American! I'm an American, I love this country! My country.

• Aaron Brand : Government's don't dare try to kill me. I've secretly planted biological bombs in seven major cities. I've also secretly advised all the major news outlets of my plan.

• Aaron Brand : My name is Aaron Brand. I always thought I was doing the right thing in preparing for life. I was the first in my class in college in computer science. I joined the military and became a fighter pilot. I won many medals for distinguished service. I've always lived between this world and the other. I'm now a covert agent, Mercenary for any nation that wants to control another. I met the love of my life when I was 7, and stayed with her forever. We loved each other and we're getting married. I joined my country's Secret Strategic Support Branch of the Defense Intelligent Agency, to fight terrorism around the world, and became the best agent they ever had. I developed a way to control any computer or satellite the government had. The fact that I became so digitally, electronically powerful scared my government as well as others. It was that power that caused them to assassinate my fiance, and break my heart forever. It caused me to re-evaluate what I was doing for my country, and that maybe, other countries would be interested in my services. After all, I controlled access to the national geospatial intelligence agency. I control access to anything and everything, even from my little simple, brilliant setup. My girlfriend and I always wanted to have children, and now all of that's been taken away from me. I work as a freelance agent now for many countries, making millions of dollars on many various covert assignments. I've been giving away the money to children's support charities all over the world. Orphanages, hospitals and schools and to support the evacuees of natural catastrophes all over the world like hurricanes. Like Katrina. I can do better for them than most mismanaged and dishonest governments can. My orders from another country are to shut down the Las Vegas strip. For two months.

• Aaron Brand : Everything I need is always with me. Satellite dishes, five laptops, six cellphones, and bio-terror.

• Aaron Brand : I don't need much to live on anymore. I just eat tuna out of the can and live in the car.

• Aaron Brand : Come back again. Come back... .again. I am your spirit.

• Aaron Brand : I've invented an invisible shield device using satellite lasers which I can, hide objects in a small area, so that I can stay in a location for some time without being... found. I disappear. I become... invisible. The force shield will cause death if anyone gets too close.

  [Some guy gets killed by the shield. It's never mentioned again] 

• Aaron Brand : Where are you? Where am I? You're me.

• Aaron Brand : [naked in a pool]  I love being with you. I love you. Will you marry me?

  Megan : Yes!

  Megan : [He gives her a ring, she puts it on]  Oh gosh, I am so happy! I'm so happy. I can't wait to be your wife! We'll always be together. I need to know that something extraordinary is possible!

  Aaron Brand : It is possible. It is possible. Anything's possible.

  Aaron Brand : [She is shot, dies]  Oh geez... Aaauughh... ahhh...

• Aaron Brand : [shouting across the desert]  Where are you? Where are you? Where are you?

• Bride : What happened? What happened? Where am I? And who are you?

  Aaron Brand : We're in Las Vegas! Hey last night we went to the club, danced a lot, drank a lot, laughed a lot, had sex out by the fountains. Then we went down to the strip and we got married. Hey this is Las Vegas baby.

• Aaron Brand : I know everything. That's more than the government knows.

• Aaron Brand : [Shooting at nothing, blood splattering his face]  Didn't mean to disturb your lunch.

• Aaron Brand : [after dumping anthrax onto someone]  Contact. Once it gets into the air, it kills immediately on contact. He'll be dead in five minutes.

• Aaron Brand : I've received bio-electrical-medical implants to assist me in carrying out my attacks.

• Aaron Brand : As well as covert acts, I also take care of eliminating white collar criminals who have exscaped the legal system.

• Aaron Brand : How's business?

  Prostitute : Very hot!

• Aaron Brand : This is an anthrax dealer. We're going in for the buy. This will be good for your resumé.

• Aaron Brand : [Talking into three phones]  Be quiet and listen. I'm calling all of you, simultaneously, by way of conference call.

• Aaron Brand : There is an error in the calculation. Sector A-07. Here is the correction.

• Aaron Brand : I'm just a simple person.

• Aaron Brand : [to Bride who is paralyzed by his chemicals]  Get out! Get out! The marriage is over! Get out!

• Aaron Brand : [Leaving paralyzed Bride in the middle of the desert, lying next to and staring at her quite possibly dead Husband]  Here's your husband.

• Aaron Brand : [Talking to a rock]  I've gotta get out of here. I need your help now, more than ever!

• Aaron Brand : [Talking to his dead wife on a mountain]  I'm so confused and depressed at my double life. How did it get to this point, where do I go from here? I've got so many questions. I need you, I need you, I miss you, I'm so glad you're here! I've got so many questions, I'm so confused!

  Megan : [Kisses him]  I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible.

• Megan : Forgive me. Forgive me. Make time stand still. Right now.

  Aaron Brand : Forgive me.

• [last lines] 

  Aaron Brand : Remember when? It was you. I'm sorry but it had to be this way. Thank you for loving me. Forgive me. It had to be this way.
