5* Bourne fighting and killing Treadstone agent Bouksani Desh with [[ImprovFu anything he finds in a bathroom]]. Yes, the entire bathroom, including the walls. Although, honestly, everything Bourne does in the entire series probably qualifies for this trope. What a badass.
6* The scene near the start where Bourne is trying to maneuver journalist Simon Ross to safety by talking to him on his mobile, while periodically beating up mooks. It wasn't Bourne's fault that the journalist was TooDumbToLive.
7* Pam immediately takes charge when she's called in to help Vosen's team and gives a great speech about how badass Bourne is, a far cry from how she initially underestimated him in the previous movie.
8-->'''Pam:''' You have an Echelon package?\
9'''Agent:''' Yes.\
10'''Pam:''' Why isn't it on?\
11'''Agent:''' We were waiting.\
12'''Pam:''' For what? Listen, people - do you have any idea who you're dealing with? This is Jason Bourne. You are nine hours behind the toughest target you have ever tracked. Now I want everyone to sit down, strap in, and turn on all you've got. ''[nobody moves]'' That would mean now! ''[everyone hastily gets to work]''
13* Said by Pamela Landy to Noah Vosen: "You'd better get yourself a good lawyer." Enough said.
14* Let's just say, Bourne and phones just ask for a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
15* The scene when Bourne stages a diversion, breaks into Vosen's office and calls him just before he breaks into his safe to steal some incriminating documents? "If you were in your office right now, we'd be having this conversation face-to-face." (''click'') [[OhCrap The look]] on Vosen's face is ''priceless''.
16* And to Pam: [[OnceMoreWithClarity "Get some rest, Pam. You look tired."]]
17* Another phone/distraction awesomeness: When Jason and Nicky prepare to leave Daniels's safe house with Treadstone agents closing fast, Jason phones in to police that there's gunfire in the area, fires several rounds in the room, and takes Nicky downstairs in a quick, casual manner. They walk to Nicky's car without breaking stride while the arriving Treadstone agents bump into a police squad responding to Jason's call, allowing the duo to easily disappear.
18* The ending, where you see a single gunshot and Bourne fall off the roof into the river. You think he's dead, and Nicky is watching the news report. It gets to the part "police have been searching for 3 days, but so far no body has been recovered", and then Nicky, who has looked worried, expressionless, or serious all movie, breaks into a huge grin as it cuts back to Bourne underwater, clearly still alive. And the traditional Bourne ending song, Music/{{Moby}}'s "Extreme Ways", starts up right then, like a ScareChord[=/=]SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic hybrid as Bourne swims away and the movie fades to black. That was definitely the best startup for that song ''anywhere'' in the series.
