Quotes 

• Chuck Bartowski : [pointing a gun at Casey]  I know what I'm doing.

  John Casey : You have no idea. You're entering a world of pain, Chuck.

  Chuck Bartowski : I want this Intersect out of my head. Are you going to help me or not?

  John Casey : You gotta be... is that a tranq gun? You don't even have the common courtesy to threaten me with an actual firearm!

• Chuck Bartowski : We have to go. We have to go right now! I can explain all this to you later. For now, all I can tell you is, I'm not who you think I am!

  Vincent : [the secure door opens, Vincent stands in the doorway pointing a gun]  It's good to see you again. Both of you.

  Steve Bartowski : Don't worry, Charles, I'm not who you think I am either...

  [Steve knocks Vincent out] 

  Steve Bartowski : Are you coming? We should go Charles.

  Chuck Bartowski : Oh my God! You're Orion!

  Steve Bartowski : We should hurry.

• Steve Bartowski : Charles, take care of your sister.

  Chuck Bartowski : No, wait.

  Steve Bartowski : Take care of yourself.

  Chuck Bartowski : Dad...

  Steve Bartowski : You can do this without me.

  Chuck Bartowski : I'm not going to leave you!

  Steve Bartowski : Remember when I told you not to trust your handlers.

  [Steve opens the door, Sarah and Casey enter pointing their weapons at the FULCRUM agents. Steve walks to the FULCRUM agents] 

  Steve Bartowski : Maybe I was wrong.

  Vincent : If your son is going to walk, he should do it now!

  Steve Bartowski : Goodbye Chuck.

  Chuck Bartowski : Dad! No!

• Chuck Bartowski : [Entering]  Ellie, hey.

  Ellie Bartowski : [Ellie turns for a second]  Hey, Chuck.

  [Turns and faces Devon] 

  Ellie Bartowski : We can do cranberry which really brings out your - your

  [Realizes he dad is with Chuck and turns around] 

  Steve Bartowski : Hello Eleanor.

  Chuck Bartowski : Aren't you going to say something?

  Ellie Bartowski : ...Pancakes.

  Steve Bartowski : Oh boy.

  Ellie Bartowski : You said you were going to make pancakes.

  [Ellie storms off to her room] 

  Steve Bartowski : Well, that - that went well.

• Ellie Bartowski : It's not your fault. I'm just - just so mad at him. Crazy old dad. Aren't you mad at him?

  Chuck Bartowski : I was, yeah. But then I realized that - you know we can hate him for the rest of our lives or we can forgive him.

  Ellie Bartowski : It's easier to hate him.

  Chuck Bartowski : Well that may be, but he's all we got left, El. This could be our last chance to be a family.

• Steve Bartowski : This isn't what I wanted, Chuck. But when I realized what the government was going to do with the Intersect. I had to run. I knew our guys weren't going to be the only ones who were looking for me. More importantly, I knew I had to stay away from you and your sister.

  Chuck Bartowski : ...Wait. Dad, You were protecting us?

  Steve Bartowski : I knew I had to spend the rest of my life hiding from the Intersect. I never imagined it would find you. It must be such a curse to have all those secrets trapped in your head. That's why I came back. That's why I let your handlers find me. It's my fault. FULCRUM's after both of us now.

• Chuck Bartowski : That's the Intersect?

  Steve Bartowski : 2.0. My baby. My greatest creation. After you and your sister of course.

• Steve Bartowski : [to Sarah about Chuck]  Stanford? Not bad. He was alway a genius this one.

  Chuck Bartowski : No. Not like you.

  Steve Bartowski : You're right. He was smarter.

• Steve Bartowski : Not a good idea. Tell her that I'm happy for her

  Chuck Bartowski : Are you- are you joking? You have to do this. She's your daughter! Don't you want to be there?

  Steve Bartowski : Charles, I can't...

  Chuck Bartowski : I-I don't want to hear what you *can't* do! I've *seen* what you can't do!

  [Long pause] 

  Chuck Bartowski : I'm sorry. I, uh, that came out wrong.

  Steve Bartowski : No it didn't. You're mad. I left and you're mad.

• Chuck Bartowski : [to Sarah as Steve's gathering his belonging for a trip]  Maybe he's not as crazy as I remembered.

  Steve Bartowski : [Steve enters]  Okay, let's go get your sister married. Huh?

  [Steve lifts the blinds a little to look out the window] 

  Steve Bartowski : Maybe we should wait til dark. They're - they're tracking my every move. Rat bastards!

• Steve Bartowski : Granted, I can understand how this might complicate a few things. Come on!

  Chuck Bartowski : What? "Complicate a few things?" Dad, I saw you die! I saw you explode in a helicopter.

  Steve Bartowski : But I see how I could've given you that impression. I had to die quite a few times. One of the perils of being Orion.

• Steve Bartowski : Now punch in the code, or we'll both be a little dead.

  Chuck Bartowski : No, dad. You don't understand. It doesn't work like that. Unless it's up here. I can't do it.

  Steve Bartowski : Yes you can. I designed that computer in your head, son. Flash, and it'll be the last thing you ever have to flash on.

• General Diane Beckman : I also promise to entrust his recovery to our best team.

  Chuck Bartowski : General, *we* are your best team!

  John Casey : [Quietly to himself]  I can't believe I'm going to say this.

  [to everyone] 

  John Casey : Chuck's right!

  Sarah Walker : No! You - you can't put Chuck back in the field. It's too dangerous! FULCRUM knows that he is Orion's son!

  Chuck Bartowski : Look, as soon as my dad finishes the Intersect for Roark, I'm worthless to you, obsolete. And Fulcrum wins. The only thing that matters now is getting my father back. And you need me to do that.

  General Diane Beckman : Very well, Mr. Bartowski. The assignment is yours... As long as your personal entanglements do not interfere with the mission.
