The Commuter quotes

  • Jackson: So this is the end of the line.

    Michael MacCauley: I guess so.

    Jackson: Next time, I'm taking the bus.

  • [last lines]

    Michael MacCauley: [seeing Joanna reading "The Count of Monte Cristo"] "What makes a man is what he does when the storm comes." Alexandre Dumas. Read that one a few years back. It's got a hell of an ending. This seat taken? The 6:20 every morning to Chicago. The 5:30 home. You know, I never took your for a commuter.

Suddenly, I have motive, opportunity, just like Alex Murphy. This wasn't his operation. You played us both.

    Joanna: I'm not sure what you think is gonna happen here, Michael.

    Michael MacCauley: One little thing.

    Joanna: And what's that?
