Jack Thompson quotes from Agent Carter

Jack Thompson

If you don't mind, these surveillance reports need to be filed, and you're really so much better at that kind of thing.

Peggy Carter

What kind of thing is that, Agent Thompson? The alphabet? I can teach you. Let's start with words beginning with "A".

You can threaten me all you want, but I'm not talking.

Jack Thompson

I'm not here to make you talk, Miles. I'm here to make you sing.

Jack Thompson

It's funny. A lot of stuff gets stolen from Howard Stark — cars, bombs, death rays.

Edwin Jarvis

Actually, the death ray's accounted for. It's in Nevada, I believe.

Jack Thompson

Something you learn in war: Not every battle you win is a notch on your belt.

Daniel Sousa

The way I hear you fought, I'm surprised there's any belt left to notch.

Jack Thompson

Just doing what needed to be done.

Daniel Sousa

Didn't we all?

Daniel Sousa

[about a crying Angie]] Could you do something here?

Oh, actors wear their emotions close to the surface. I could no more stop her than I could Laurence Olivier.

Jack Thompson

[hesitantly] Gam-Gam.

You need to start playing the long game here. The SSR is a wartime agency, and the war is over.

Jack Thompson

Am I being fired?

Worse. You're becoming irrelevant. The entire department of war is being restructured, which means that the SSR is going the way of the dinosaur. It's a different world now. And you've got to ask yourself, "do I want to be the former chief of the SSR or the current muckety-muck of the next big thing?"

Jack Thompson

I want to be in the muck.

And that's the kind of attitude that's gonna serve you very well.

Jack Thompson

You weren't really going to shoot me, were you, Peggy?

Peggy Carter

Well...

Jack Thompson

Never mind. I don't want to know.

Peggy Carter

You're a good man, Jack.
