(Zoe laughs)
Jack: We're way past angry.
Zoe: Would you remind me again why we're not on a plane, right now? Oh, that's right - the big, bad marshal's afraid to fly!

Jack: Here, here's some ketchup. Start at your feet, work your way up.
Zoe: (after Jack falls out of the car) Karma's a bitch, huh?!

Jack: Is that coffee?
Jo: Excuse me?

Allison: Allison Blake, Department of Defense.
Jack: Hm... I didn't see that coming.
Jack: Ohh, come on, Miss Blake, we're on the same team!
Allison: That's Agent Blake, Marshal. And we're not even in the same league, this is way out of your jurisdiction.
Jack: Actually, I'm a U.S. Marshal so technically the United States is my jurisdiction.
Allison: You didn't think that I was taking you to my place...
Jack: Nooo!
Allison: Because I'll tell you right now, this isn't Madison County and you're definitely not Clint Eastwood!
Jack: Well, yeah! He's twice my age.

Allison: I knew that!
Beverly: Will your wife be joining you?
Jack: My wife? Oh, um, not likely. Uhh, we're separated.

Jack: Well, not that sharing my sex life with a total stranger doesn't sound like loads of fun, uhh, at the moment, my needs are a nap and a shower.
Beverly: (catching Jack flipping through The Joy Of Sex) Doing a little undercover work?
Zoe: Pretty impressive, Jo.

Zoe: Where'd you learn to do that, anyway?
Jo: U.S. Army, Special Forces.
Zoe: Well, that explains some things.
Jo: What things?
Zoe: Nothing. None of my business.
Jo: You got something to say, say it.
Zoe: Okay. It's just the whole tough girl image, I mean, it's fine and everything but some guys might find it intimidating. Oh, unless of course you're into chicks then that's fine, too.
Jo: Stop talking.
Jack: Seriously, you can't keep doing this. You can't keep running away from your mother.
Zoe: Why not? You did.
Jack: Zoe... you know, your mom and I, we tried. It's just, uhh, some people just don't work.
Zoe: Don't work? Dad, all you do is work!
Jack: Stellar job. Father of the year. (dog steps out onto the road) Mother... ugh! Find a crosswalk!
Jack: Taggart... not sure if you realize this but you just assaulted and kidnapped a Federal Marshal.
Taggart: Yeah, sorry about that. Just doing my job!
Taggart: It's not just a dog, Marshal. It's the devil himself!
Jack: Oh, yeah, he's stable.
Jo: Is there a problem, Marshal?

Allison: Or maybe you're just not funny.
Colonel Briggs: Are you telling me in this town full of super geeks, you can't find one person who can do a simple math problem?!

Warren: Henry, do I need goggles?
Henry: (as he puts on his goggles) No.
