"3 Days to Kill" movie quotes follow the action as a dying Secret Service agent tries to balance work and home life during one last mission. The action thriller was directed by McG using a screenplay by Adi Hasak and Luc Besson. "3 Days to Kill" opened in theaters on February 21, 2014.
In "3 Days to Kill," Ethan Runner (Kevin Costner) is a highly skilled Secret Service agent who for most of his life chose his secret career over his now-estranged wife (Connie Neilsen) and daughter, Zoey (Hailee Steinfeld). He wants to reconnect with his family and retires from the agency to do just that. With Ethan retired, his wife asks him to look after Zoey while she travels to London for business, a role he happily accepts.
Soon Ethan discovers that he is terminally ill and given just three days to live. He does have one way out though. Agent Vivi (Amber Heard) has an experimental antidote but will only fork it over if Ethan helps them capture The Wolf, a terrorist Ethan hunted for a long time during his career. With few options, Ethan agrees to the job but has to complete it while also looking after Zoey and without arising her suspicions.

When You Work for the Agency
Ethan Runner: "Five minutes from now, this team will save thousands of lives. Under no circumstances does this briefcase leave the area or it's war. Good or bad, when you work for the agency, it becomes your whole life."
Ethan talks about his current mission as well as how being a Secret Service agent takes over your life. For Ethan, he is ready to take his life back but it won't be so easy.
Spend More Time With My Daughter and My Wife
Ethan Runner: "I don't want to spend the rest of my life killing for you."
Agent Vivi: "You're the best agent for this job, Ethan. We need you."
Ethan Runner: "I just want to spend a little more time with my daughter and my wife."
Ethan tries his best to resign with dignity from the Secret Service but Agent Vivi isn't taking no for an answer.
Only You Can Stop Him
Agent Vivi: "The wolf is the most dangerous terrorist this world has ever faced. Only you can stop him."
Ethan Runner: "I'm going to need a new suit."
Agent Vivi asks Ethan for one last mission before he completely leaves the Secret Service. While Ethan doesn't really want to do he, the target is an old friend of his.
Look After Zoey
Wife: "I was going to ask you to look after Zoey while I go to London for work."
Ethan Runner: "I can handle it."
Wife: "You have to make me a promise. Are you done? Are you really done working for them?"
Ethan's wife asks him to look after their teen daughter, Zoey. It seems simple enough, that is unless he's also fighting terrorism at the same time.
Experimental Drug
Agent Vivi: "You're sick, Ethan, but I could offer you an experimental drug that might just give you your life back."
Ethan Runner: "So I buy back my life by killing for you?"
Agent Vivi: "That's the job. You have three days to kill."
It seems awfully suspicious that when Ethan comes down with a strange and deadly illness, that Agent Vivi conveniently has the cure and is willing to trade it for his work one last time. One might almost wonder if she made him sick in the first place.
The Spare Is Loose in the Trunk
Ethan Runner: "I thought you might want a ride home."
Zoey: "Did you hear that?"
Ethan Runner: "The spare is loose in the trunk." [to man in the trunk] "Hey, I'm trying to have a conversation with my daughter." [to Zoey] "I'm sorry, sweetie. Now where were we?"
Zoey hears something in the back of Ethan's car when he picks her up. While he claims it's just a noisy spare tire, it's actually someone he's holding captive.
His Great Recipe
Ethan Runner: "Zoey?"
Zoey: "I want to make dinner tonight and I want to make spaghetti sauce so I need your help."
Ethan Runner: "It just so happens I'm in a meeting here with a real live Italian. He wants to give you his great recipe." [to Italian guy] "Why don't you say hello to my daughter."
Italian Guy: "Hello, I am a Guido."
Completely oblivious to his real profession, Zoey phones her father for help cooking dinner. Since he's with, and by with we mean holding hostage, a real Italian, Ethan puts his acquaintance to work.
Real Football
Zoey: "Dad, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend."
Boyfriend: "Great to meet you. I'm an athlete."
Ethan Runner: "Soccer?"
Boyfriend: "Yeah"
Ethan Runner: "I don't like soccer. I'm from Pittsburgh. We play real football."
Boyfriend: "American football, yeah"
Ethan Runner: "No, real football… So you like to score?"
Boyfriend: "Definitely, yeah… on the field only"
As if meeting a girl's father wasn't intimidating enough, try finding common ground between fans of soccer and American football, or as Ethan calls it, real football.
You Can Start Counting
Ethan Runner: "My job is to hunt terrorists. I don't negotiate. Within three days, I will find you. You can start counting."
Ethan tells The Wolf in no uncertain terms that he's coming for him. To be nice, Ethan gives him three days to try to stop it, but that's pretty unlikely.
Not One of Them Dresses Like You
Zoey: "You know a lot of my friends' dads are in sales and not one of them dresses like you."
Zoey thinks her dad is a boring sales guy, just like her friends' dads, though he dresses somewhat differently. Little does she know what he actually does.
