Episode Quotes

Garcia: Networks says the calls came from a restricted number. Two have given limited permission to trap and trace the lines should we need to.
Hotchkins: You got a new organization to agree to a trap and trace?
Garcia: Who could say no to me?

Reed: I need to stop by a bookstore and get a copy of Empty Planet. I want to reread it before we talk to author. I haven't read it since I was 6.
Morgan: 6? I was still riding my Big Wheel at 6 years old.
Reed: Do you mind? It will only take 10 minutes.
Gideon: To buy it or read it?
Reed: Ah, both actually.
