Coby Bell: Jesse Porter

Quotes 

• [Michael pulls Jesse out of interviewing Kendra] 

  Jesse Porter : [in an angry whisper]  What the hell was that! One of us had to stop her from scrambling her brains!

  Michael Westen : [normal tone]  I know. You did the right thing.

  Jesse Porter : Wh... What? No, yeah, I know! I know! I know I did. So what- why...

  Michael Westen : Rendition only works when the Bad Cop isn't in the room. She invited him in and kicked him in the teeth. Our play was dead, we needed a new one, now we've got it.

  Jesse Porter : We don't have a damn thing!

  Michael Westen : [pointing to monitor]  That woman is a predator. She's overconfident around people she thinks of as prey.

  [pause] 

  Michael Westen : You're the prey, Jesse.

  [a moment is taken as it sinks in] 

  Jesse Porter : So I'm the, I'm the weak link. I'm the guy with the bosses breathin' down his neck.

  Michael Westen : That's what I was tryin' to tee up.

  Jesse Porter : Okay. All right, but look: if we make the soft play, it is just me in that room from now on, okay? I gotta be out on a island by myself. That's the only way that this can possibly work.

  Michael Westen : I know. And this better work.

• Jesse Porter : Hey, let me ask you somethin'. Is it weird that I kinda miss you?

  Sam Axe : [chuckles]  Well, you have been hanging out with a homicidal psychopath, but uh... yeah, it's a little weird.

• [last lines] 

  Sam Axe : [toasting]  To the new guy! For putting that hot slice of crazy in the rearview.

  [they tap beer bottles and drink] 

  Jesse Porter : Mmm. Ohh, man!

  Jesse Porter : [looks at Kendra on monitor]  It's gonna be weird not hanging out with her tomorrow, you know?

  [Michael regards angry Kendra on the monitor] 

  Michael Westen : You could really use some more friends. I'd work on that.
