Episode Quotes
 
Nick: Game over.
Ronnie: Not true. I think we can do much better. Forget about Hannah and aging documents. Nothing beats a live testimonial. It's like I always say, "If you can't deliver the bacon, bring them the pig".
Nick: You always say that?
Ronnie: Well, I will from now on.
 
The Commander: Hey! (takes Ronnie's gun away) Just because you are an idiot, it doesn't mean you have to act like one.
 
Aubrey: And thus, the arsonist returns to the scene of his last great place.
Nick: Going down in flames does seem to be the motive.
 
Nick: Look, I'm trying to confront this stuff that I ran from years ago. And I'm willing to face anything, anything that comes my way. I will not leave you, dean Etwood. Or your students either. This time I'm not leaving anything until it's ready to be left.
Dean Etwood: Well, what an inspirational tale. But right now Mr. Garrett, I'm going back to sleep.
