“After that my guess is that you will never hear from him again. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. And like that… he is gone.”

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Broken, suggested by Gisela Wehrl.

Trivia: Christopher McQuarrie had previously worked for a detective agency, and this influenced the depiction of criminals and law enforcement officials in the script.

Dialogue On Dialogue: The last line of dialogue in the movie precipitates U.S. Customs special agent Dave Kujan dropping his coffee cup where it shatters… and lies broken revealing a big secret.
