Quotes 

• Ashley Briggs : I trusted you.

  Annie Walker : I know. It was my job to get you to trust me.

  Ashley Briggs : [scoffs]  No. Your job is to trick people and ruin their lives. What you do for a living is far worse than anything I've ever done.

  Annie Walker : There are lives at stake, Ashley.

• Jai Wilcox : Okay, read-in privileges. There are none. This is completely off book. If the Senate knew we were spying on them in their own backyard, we'd have another FISA situation.

  Annie Walker : [to agent sitting next to her]  Why are we doing it?

  [he shrugs] 

  Joan Campbell : [overhears]  Because you're young and you're nobody. You'll fit in perfectly on Capitol Hill.

• Annie Walker : [on phone]  I just e-mailed you a draft of a memo I found in Madeline's desk. She must have written it. It's a resignation speech from the Senator. He says he's gonna quit because Ashley sold our secrets. Jai, the Senator's not the leak, Ashley's not the leak. His wife's the leak. And she's gonna frame Ashley for it. Is that indisputable enough for you?

  Jai Wilcox : Annie, you just hooked a whale.

• Annie Walker : [assailant tried to strangle Ashley]  Just take nice, easy breaths. That's gonna hurt for a while.

  Ashley Briggs : I don't want to disappear.

  Annie Walker : [as the FBI loads the assailant into a car]  You don't have to take the fall. There's no game anymore.

  Ashley Briggs : I don't understand.

  Annie Walker : The Agency wanted to follow the fake Intel up the food chain. With him in custody, Tina Varma knows Madeline is working for us.

  Ashley Briggs : I don't have to give up my life?

  Annie Walker : No.

  Ashley Briggs : But the one I have will never be the same.

  Annie Walker : No. It won't.

• Annie Walker : Can I ask you a question about men?

  Auggie Anderson : Uh-uhm! Way too general a question for me to sign off on.

  Annie Walker : Do most men cheat on their spouses?

  Auggie Anderson : [frowns]  Where are you going with this?

  Annie Walker : My brother-in-law said he was gonna be in the office all day, and then I saw him walking out of a hotel this afternoon.

  Auggie Anderson : Gmph. How did it happen?

  [big smile] 

  Annie Walker : I'm serious

  Auggie Anderson : Maybe he had a lunch there.

  Annie Walker : At 4 PM?
