Callie Burnett: You don't think I'm the maternal type?
Eva: I didn't say that.
Callie Burnett: Well, you're right, I'm not. But I'm just saying every kid has a mother somewhere. (looks at John) Of course, I'm not too sure about him.

Callie Burnett: (after John flashes back) Amsterdam, Where do you go when you do that? It's like you're here but you're not here.
John: It's because I'm there.

Omar: (sees John, naked, swimming at the pool) Ain't you got no shame?
John: No.
Omar: What if some kid walked in, saw you in your particulars?
John: He'd get what he deserves, sneaking into a closed facility.
Omar: That's what you're doin'.
John: Well I have a key.
Omar: From 1935.

John: Just because you look older, Omar, doesn’t mean you are. I can do without the advice.

John: Exactly.

John: I won't kiss your ass, which isn't that great by the way, the way you twitch it around here. You'd think it's one of the seven wonders of the modern world.

Callie Burnett: Amsterdam, I only want to know one thing.
John: Um-hum?
Callie Burnett: Did you mean what you said about my ass?

Sara: (to John) That bullet, when it went through your heart, it killed something. It killed us.
