Quotes 

• 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 : 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.
