- Emerson Kent: Oh shit, your leg.
- Katherine: Oh my God!
- [as he carries her to a table]
- Katherine: I can't even feel anything.

- Katherine: You always know what to say to a girl.

The reason that I'm not shaking is because this is a choice not dictated by emotion. This is logic - pure, simple. My boy over there is rated fourth in the world in the Glock 30.

- Katherine: What would happen if I'm not here Monday?
- Emerson Kent: Because there'd been a terrible train accident?
- Katherine: No, the train's here, I'm just not on it.
- Emerson Kent: I would have to make a phone call.
- Katherine: You would have to make a phone call?
- Emerson Kent: I would make a phone call.
- Katherine: Company man.
