Michael Gaston: Gale Bertram

Quotes 

• Teresa Lisbon : CBI employees shall not give anonymous or off the record statements to the media.

  Gale Bertram : And what are the repercussions of said violations?

  Teresa Lisbon : Suspension or termination.

  Gale Bertram : Yes. However, both the Bagshaws are happy. Everyone's alive. You caught the killer.

  Teresa Lisbon : Yes, sir.

  Gale Bertram : Hmph. You-you find the right lever, agent, you can move the world. You found the right lever. That was a smart play.

  [Slight chuckle] 

  Gale Bertram : Only hope you stay smart.

• Gale Bertram : Agent Lisbon, I-I just had a conversation with a reporter from the Examiner and he seemed to know a *lot* about the situation in Crane Creek. I told him that no matter what any unnamed source may say, CBI puts civilian safety first. And we are *not* bowing to local pressure to do otherwise. I also told him that authority in Crane Creek resides with our head agent in the field - you. I've let Bagshaw and his chief know that you're in charge.

  Teresa Lisbon : Thank you, sir.

  Gale Bertram : We'll discuss this again.
