Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : Kidnapping, false imprisonment of an officer. Kind of pushes the PATRIOT Act to the limit, doesn't it?

  Silverfox : I apologize for the physicality. But I knew you wouldn't come easily.

  Catherine Chandler : [sarcastic]  Gee, how'd you guess?

  Silverfox : Where is he?

  Catherine Chandler : I don't know who you're talking about.

  Silverfox : Oh, I think you do. In fact, you're the one who found his cross-species DNA at a crime scene a few weeks ago and called the FBI to report it.

  Catherine Chandler : It was corrupted. I was wrong.

  Silverfox : Magna cum laude, Princeton, top marks at the academy. You're not wrong about much.

  Catherine Chandler : First time for everything.

• Vincent Keller : For the first time in a long, long while, I've felt like new things are possible for me. But Catherine, the way that you looked at me in the park that night, everything came crashing back. The reality of what I am and what I have done, the idea that you and J.T. are paying the price for it, that you are collateral damage because of me, that is why I gave myself in.

  Catherine Chandler : You know, that, um... that first night we met, in the woods, I knew that you would never hurt me. That was my gut. But I'm sticking with that.

  Vincent Keller : I wish this was easier.

  Catherine Chandler : Yeah. I do, too.

• Catherine Chandler : This is Chandler.

  J.T. Forbes : So they drop a little on your forehead and you fold like an accordian.

  Catherine Chandler : J.T.?

  J.T. Forbes : I swear to god, if they touch him, I will...

  Catherine Chandler : Okay, what is going on? What happened?

  J.T. Forbes : [seeing the note and vials of blood Vincent left]  Forget the last five seconds of this conversation.

  Catherine Chandler : I didn't understand the last five seconds.

• Silverfox : I'm not the bad guy here. I'm trying to protect the citizens of this city, while you're choosing to protect a monster. And that's what he is. Not a man. He's a monster.

  Catherine Chandler : Your people sent him off to war to be a killing machine. It's ten years later. He's not that anymore.

  Silverfox : I see your amnesia's clearing up.

  Catherine Chandler : Yeah. Yeah, now I remember. You and your Muirfield assassins are the ones who killed my mother.

  Silverfox : How about you indulge an old man? There are some things you ought to see.

• Silverfox : This was an unsanctioned attack on an Afghan village. The population before the attack was 500. After the attack, zero.

  Catherine Chandler : That was what you programmed him to do.

  Silverfox : Is that how you're gonna rationalize this?

  Catherine Chandler : He saves people.

  Silverfox : I know it's romantic to think he's some kind of mythological protective beast, but how do you explain Simon Holmes? Married, pregnant wife, found behind the local bar. Was he not innocent because he chose to have a cocktail?

  Catherine Chandler : No, this can't be real.

  Silverfox : You know it's real, because you've seen it. He can't control it. Do you really think that we would pour this many resources into finding him if he wasn't absolutely lethal?

• Silverfox : We don't want to hurt him. We just want to bring him to a place where he won't be a danger to anyone.

  Catherine Chandler : You just want to clean up your mess.

  Silverfox : No, we want to fix it. Perhaps find him an antidote.

  Catherine Chandler : That's why you sent all those hitmen after me.

  Silverfox : Clearly the wrong tactic. All right, I'll make you a deal. Your mother. For ten years, you've been searching for the truth about what happened to her the night she was killed. You bring me Vincent, I'll tell you everything. This is a picture of your mother at our headquarters. And as far as Vincent goes, if you don't believe me, you mention these incidents I told you about, ask him yourself. This number will be good for the next three days. I'm not going to follow you, but if I don't hear from you by then, I'm gonna have to go back to the wrong tactics.

• Catherine Chandler : [at softball practice]  Why'd I say yes to Estevez?

  Tess Vargas : 'Cause they need two girls, and we can't lose to the FDNY for the fifth year in a row.

  Joe Bishop : Ladies, a little hustle, please. This is not a nail salon.

  Tess Vargas : Listen, you have really good hand/eye coordination, you can hit a bullseye. You just have to stop thinking.

  Catherine Chandler : I can't help it. There's just too much to remember.

  Tess Vargas : It's like sex. There's nothing to remember, you just do it.

  Catherine Chandler : Yeah, at this point, I'd have to think to remember.

• Catherine Chandler : Okay, Tommy Holt, age nineteen.

  Tess Vargas : No phone. Wallet's still got cash in it. This wasn't a robbery. Ooh, who's this hottie?

  Catherine Chandler : Says here they took him to surgery for a... depressive... crainy...

  Evan Marks : [entering]  Decompressive craniectomy. Means they took pressure off his brain.

  Catherine Chandler : Thank god you're here. Can you keep translating? I do not understand a word of this.
