Quotes 

• Jeff : Does it shock you that 80% of my encounters with women have been without their knowledge.

  Chuck Bartowski : Honestly, I'm more surprised by the other 20%

• John Casey : There's only one mission here, moron.

  Chuck Bartowski : Oh "moron", that's- You know, sticks and stones may break my bones...

  John Casey : [Threateningly]  Care to test that theory, Bartowski?

  Chuck Bartowski : Not particularly.

  John Casey : No.

• Sarah Walker : No, I get it, he's your best friend.

  Chuck Bartowski : You know, you say that, but I don't think you have a clue what it means. Sarah, I don't have parents. I don't really talk about it because that's the way things are now. But it wasn't always this way. Morgan was there the first day my mom took off. He didn't say much. Because, honestly, what's a fifth grader supposed to say? But we sat there and split a cherry cheesecake and played Legend of Zelda all night long. And my dad, well that's - that's a whole other story. But Morgan was there for that, too. Morgan is more than just my best friend. He's my family! Before you got here, and long after you've gone, Morgan is my family!

  Sarah Walker : ...Last night we failed to learn the contents of the Triad's container. And now we don't know what kind of drugs or weapons are floating around the city. And while I appreciate your friendship with Morgan, losing sight of that container endangers many people's best friends. Not just yours, Chuck.

• Chuck Bartowski : I can't betray my best friend. How come nobody gets that?

  John Casey : Hmm. Semper Fidelis. Means "Always Faithful" in the Marines. In civilian life, means putting your friend's well being above your own. I salute you for that, Bartowski. Well done.

  [Casey gives Chuck a small salute] 

  Chuck Bartowski : Yeah, that's - Thanks, Casey. Yeah. Semper Fi. You know, it's a pretty upside down world when this guy's the one picking up the emotional nuances around here.

• John Casey : [Chuck's got the bomb]  You're risking your life!

  Chuck Bartowski : No! I'm saving Morgan's!

  John Casey : Don't be an idiot!

• Sarah Walker : I wanted to apologize. I could have been more sensitive before about your friendship with Morgan. It's just - it's difficult. I don't really have anyone in my life who cares about me.

  Chuck Bartowski : Yeah, you do.

• Chuck Bartowski : I see why Anna dumped you. This guy is - is a profoundly disturbed individual. Okay? He can't - he can't let go of her. He's an obsessed but totally unthreatening sicko. Grow up, Morgan Grimes.

• Sarah Walker : Well, you just saved your best friend's life.

  Chuck Bartowski : At the expense of his dignity.

  Sarah Walker : Well, at least he's still breathing. Come on.
