Gerard Kennedy: Colonel Gregory Usher

Quotes 

• Colonel Gregory Usher : Have the launch fueled and ready to shove off at dawn.

  Duvall : Sir! I thought you would send someone to the island.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : I want to go myself.

  Duvall : But have you forgotten the Americans, the indictment? As head of security, I strongly advise against it.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : As head of the country, I strongly advise you to do as I say!

• Colonel Gregory Usher : Do you think you need a bodyguard here, Mr Taggart?

  Nicholas Black : [posing as drug dealer Myles Taggart]  Well I watch the evening news, and things like assassinations at airports make me kind of nervous.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : Uh, that was politics, Mr Taggart, this is business.

• Colonel Gregory Usher : [speaking to Black]  So I sell drugs. Americans buy drugs, but I'm the monster, I'm the one they indict. Well, they can indict me all they want. They'll never lay a hand on Colonel Usher. They can't touch me here.

• Colonel Gregory Usher : [Usher in bed with Phelps sitting beside him. Duvall enters room]  The boy! Did you find the boy?

  Duvall : No, Colonel.

  Jim Phelps : [posing as neurologist Dr. Frederic Quinn]  Please try to calm yourself, Colonel. You've had a pretty bad turn.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : No, I've had worse, Doctor. Why don't you stop patronizing me and tell me what's wrong with my body?

  Jim Phelps : Well, according to what Major Duvall has told me about your medical history, you suffer from an arteriovenous malfunction. Now that's a...

  Colonel Gregory Usher : [interrupting]  Congenital defect. Too many blood vessels around the surface of my brain. I've heard it all before!

  Jim Phelps : But it does explain your headaches.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : Does it explain the *boy* Dr. Quinn?

  Jim Phelps : Well, if the defect is in a specific area of the brain, it could cause, uh, hallucinations.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : [bounds out of bed]  People I sell drugs to have hallucinations. I don't!

• Duvall : In the last hour, we have received reports of United States naval vessels patrolling the area.

  Colonel Gregory Usher : So fix it, Duvall! Isn't that what you get paid to do?

  Duvall : I can take care of dissidents. I can handle imposters like Taggart. But don't ask me to take on Spruance-class destroyers. We'll lose.
