Quote #7
"I know myself. I couldn't love the man you say you are. I love the man I know you are. You just confirmed it again. No killer would make the offer you just made."(23.34)
Smart economists, Marie insists, don't fall in love with killers (although we're pretty sure that smart economists are capable of doing some really stupid things). Likewise, killers don't offer to sacrifice themselves for smart economists. Marie thinks that your moral character determines your identity absolutely. There's little room here for good people to do bad things, or for bad people to do good things, or for people to be good or bad depending on the situation they're in. Do you think Marie's views sum up the situation in The Bourne Identity, or are things more complicated than that?
Quote #8
"David. I say your name finally. We were friends once. David…Delta." (34.118)
This is another big reveal, with Alexander Conklin finally saying the "real" first name of Jason Bourne. It's an example of the way we often find out information about Bourne before he does.
Quote #9
"The face! He knew it! He had seen it before! Where…where?...Then it struck him at that instant in the blinding, vibrating light, that the face across the room was known to many, not just him." (35.286)
Bourne recognizes that Carlos is someone famous and that the assassin has a different, publically known identity. Realistically, this seems extremely unlikely. Carlos is already a full-time famous fashion designer and a world-renowned assassin. Just in terms of the number of hours in the day, it seems hard to believe he'd have time to have yet another important time-consuming identity as well. Maybe we're just not familiar enough with supervillains.
