- Jeff Barnes: We're staging a revolution here.
- John Casey: I want in!
- Lester Patel: How do we know we can trust you, son? That you're not some kind of spy for the Man?
- John Casey: Because the only thing I hate more than hippy neo-liberal facists anarchists are the hypocrit fat cat suits they eventually become!
- Chuck Bartowski: Morgan, the truth is - the truth is... I am a member of a joint NSA CIA Black Ops team that is stationed here in Burbank. I have a level 6 clearance and my code name is Charles Carmichael. I'm a spy, buddy.
- Morgan Grimes: So Sarah is your handler? Does that make her your beard? In other words, like, uh, is your whole relationship fake, cause, uh, buddy, that's - that's just awful.
- Chuck Bartowski: Why? Because we never had sex?
- Morgan Grimes: No, I just feel like, you know, having a bea- YOU NEVER HAD SEX WITH THAT GIRL?... That's not... No. No. It's - it's awful that you had to pretend to be in a relationship with somebody you clearly love.
- Chuck Bartowski: I don't need - I don't need time off, okay? Maybe I'm not flashing because I have all these emotions bottled up inside me. You ever thought about that? I mean - I - I just broke up with Hannah. I can't talk to my best friend or my sister about anything in my life. I'm not a machine. Okay, I am a machine. But I am also a person.
- Sarah Walker: Well, you can always talk to us.
- Chuck Bartowski: [Notices the attraction between Sarah and Shaw] ... Yeah, uh, no thanks. I don't think that's going to work for me.
- Chuck Bartowski: Look, I'm flashing. I'm a spy again because I have my best friend back. You need the Intersect and I need him. So Morgan Grimes is staying exactly where he belongs. Which is the Burbank Buy More.
- Daniel Shaw: The Ring shut down all communications. They never had a chance to let their superiors know about their discovery. That'll give us the time we need to put together a full offensive - take them down once and for all.
- Sarah Walker: So then, what's the problem?
- Daniel Shaw: The Ring had me dead to rights today in Malibu. So why didn't they kill me?
- Daniel Shaw: Off nights get agents killed. You need to figure this out because the Intersect is not working. And I can't risk putting you out in the field.
- Chuck Bartowski: Okay, so what exactly are you saying?
- Daniel Shaw: I'm saying that until you start flashing again, you're no longer a spy.
- Morgan Grimes: I cannot believe I am saying this. But you're fired!
- Chuck Bartowski: What? You're firing me from the Buy More?
- Morgan Grimes: Buy More? No. You kidding me? You're the best Nerd Herder we have. I need you here.
- [Morgan sighs]
- Morgan Grimes: I'm firing you as my best friend.
- Big Mike: No, they want to interview everyone. Reevaluate the entire staff. Gonna fire everyone who's nonessential... We're in big trouble, boys.
- Big Mike: These corporate fat cats think they can take whatever they want. They can take our dignity. And they can take all the hot women. But they will *not* take our jobs! And they will NEVER TAKE OUR STORE!
- Daniel Shaw: Keep it together, Devon. We'll figure this out.
- [Cellphone rings. Shaw checks the message]
- Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb: What? What is it?
- Daniel Shaw: I'm sorry. False alarm.
- Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb: Wait! You crash my weekend getaway to tell me I'm in danger. Now you tell me, what? We're safe?
- Sarah Walker: Yes. I'm sorry. Please try to enjoy the rest of your vacation.
