Episode Quotes
President Logan: Don't... don't give me protocols, Bill, give me results. Whoever did this, I want them dead or in custody by the time the Russians get here.
Bill: Yes, Mr. President.
Chloe: Spenser!
Spenser Wolff: What?
Chloe: Get outta my bed!
Spenser Wolff: Yeah... I had a good time last night, too.
Chloe: (to Spenser Wolff) I would appreciate it if you didn't tell everybody at work about this - I don't want everyone thinking I'm some kind of slut.
Spenser Wolff: (to Chloe) You should lighten up, you know? You'll live longer.
Spenser Wolff: When you quit overanalysing the situation, I think you're gonna find out that you and I are pretty good together. So, I'm telling you in advance, yes.
Chloe: Yes, what?
Spenser Wolff: I'll let you buy me dinner, get me drunk, have your way with me anytime you want.
Chloe: You know, um, arrogance doesn't turn me on. I've read that some women respond to it but I'm just letting you know I don't.
Jack: Yeah?
Chloe: Jack, I know this isn't protocol, please don't hang up on me, I need your help!
Chloe: They got Tony and Michelle, Michelle is dead, Tony's in critical condition, now they're gonna kill me!
Jack: What are you talking about?
Chloe: There's four people that know you're alive, three of them are down, Jack, I'm the only one left! This has to be about you, it's the only thing the four of us have in common!

Edgar: (on Chloe) She sounded strange when I talked to her.
Spenser Wolff: She always sounds strange.
Jack: Are you okay?
Chloe: I'm fine. What's happening?! Why would anyone want to kill the people who know you're alive?
Chloe: Jack!
Jack: What?
Chloe: It's them! How did they find me?!
Jack: I don't think they ever lost you.
Chloe: What are we waiting for? Take off!
