Episode Quotes
Winston: You see, when I say he's gone, I don’t mean he's down in Florida taking some R&R, shacked up with a lady friend. I mean gone. Forever. Might as well be dead. You could search the end of the earth, and you wouldn't find him. Got that?
Pete: My employer's very persistent. Thank you. We'll be sure to check the end of the earth.
Winston: Wiseass.

Ilsa: Wow. I'll give it to you, Mr. Chance. When you say you want to disappear, you really commit. It's taken me six months, an embarrassing amount of money, and more time in a helicopter that I ever dreamed my ass would spend. I have one thing to say to you: you'd better be worth it.

Ilsa: I thought you'd be different.
Christopher: Taller?
Ilsa: No.
Christopher: Younger?
Ilsa: No. Braver.

Christopher: That's Guerrero. He has a dark sense of humor.

Winston: Don't run. I hate it when they make me run.

Guerrero: You're going through what I call the five phases of fear. Denial.... anger.. frustration, acceptance, and eventually fear.

Guerrero: I'm gonna give you a choice... 'cause I believe in every human's right to be tortured democratically. Peel your fingernails off with this, or shoot you in the kneecaps. I have a preference, but I'm gonna leave it up to you. It's your body.

Winston: Sorry, Mrs. Pucci. You know, normally, we're a lot more professional than this.
Christopher: No, we're not.

Ilsa: I guess I owe you a debt of gratitude. After all, you saved my life.
Christopher: Nah, it's all part of the game plan.
Ilsa: Jumping out of a 12-story window?
Christopher: Game plan's not for everybody.

Ilsa: Why do you do it? Dive out of buildings in front of bullets, put your life on the line?
Christopher: It's part of the job. It's what I'm paid to do.
Ilsa: I don't think you do it for the money. There's a lot smarter ways to earn a dollar.
Christopher: I'm not very bright.
