• [first lines] 

  Matthew Weitz : [Asst. FBI Deputy Director Mayfair meets Asst. US Attorney Weitz who's cleaning out her office]  Good morning, Assistant Director Mayfair. It's nice to meet you. Assistant US Attorney Matthew Weitz. My boss tells me great things about you.

  Bethany Mayfair : I'm sure she does, but why the hell are you packing up my office?

• [Asst. FBI Deputy Director Mayfair tells Agent Zapata about the enemies you make] 

  Bethany Mayfair : The longer you stay in this job, the more enemies you'll make.

• [Agent Zapata tells Asst. FBI Deputy Director Mayfair what she wishes for] 

  Tasha Zapata : I'd like to run a division one day, like you.

  Bethany Mayfair : Be careful what you wish for. Early on in my career, someone powerful approached me, asking for help. It was a big career opportunity. What he was asking me to do was... morally ambiguous at best. I went along. Told myself it was for the greater good, but in my gut, I knew that was a lie. Didn't sleep well back then. Still don't. Things went sideways and that powerful person was nowhere to be found. I was left alone to account for my actions, wishing that I'd trusted my gut. Whatever you're doing with Weitz, for Weitz, just make sure you can sleep at night.
