Quotes 

• Catherine Chandler : Hi.

  Vincent Keller : Hey.

  Catherine Chandler : Remind me never to get shot again.

  Vincent Keller : Never get shot again.

• Vincent Keller : You know, the first time I got shot in Afghanistan, I couldn't sleep for months.

  Catherine Chandler : Yeah, it's like I'm sleepwalking. I can't do anything, and they've got me on restrictive duty until I am physically and emotionally up to par.

• J.T. Forbes : Someone please explain to me how a guy who's unemployed, never goes out, and is officially dead gets not one, but two smoking hot women fighting for his attention.

  Vincent Keller : No, J.T., the whole point of going over there was to tell her that I can't see her anymore.

  J.T. Forbes : Because... because of Catherine.

  Vincent Keller : Kinda, yeah. I mean, Catherine's life has never been the same since she found out about me and my secret. Neither has yours. You and Catherine, you risk so much to keep me safe.

  J.T. Forbes : And you don't want Alex to take the same risk.

  Vincent Keller : No. Okay, but what if I don't tell her?

  J.T. Forbes : Vincent.

  Vincent Keller : Look, I know what you're gonna say, okay? But J.T., to have someone look at you and not feel like you've got this big secret that they have to protect, you know?

  J.T. Forbes : Like Catherine does.

  Vincent Keller : Yeah. But J.T., I... I loved Alex. You know, we spent our whole childhoods planning everything, and then, uh... I don't know, I guess I got afraid.

  J.T. Forbes : And you don't think Catherine's just backing off because she's trying to do the right thing? How did I end up on Catherine's side of this?

  Catherine Chandler : [entering]  My side of what?

  J.T. Forbes : [standing to leave]  All you, my friend.

• Vincent Keller : I am sorry for putting you in this position and bringing you down here.

  Catherine Chandler : What the hell is going on with you? I had to lie to a police officer. If he had run my badge, I would have been kicked off the force. And you were taped. Every squad car has a car-top camera on it; now I've got to cover that up, too.

  Vincent Keller : Look, I know, okay? And I can understand that you're upset.

  Catherine Chandler : I am beyond upset. I... I am mystified. Alex makes you do reckless things that the rest of us have to protect you from.

  Vincent Keller : It wasn't her fault, okay? It was mine.

  Catherine Chandler : Well, then you know that if that cop had booked you, Muirfield would have been here before the ink dried.

  Vincent Keller : Don't you think I know that? Okay? I nearly lost control thinking about what would happen if I was taken in.

  Catherine Chandler : It's not just you. You put Alex at risk. J.T. You put me at risk, Vincent. If you want to figure out if you can get your old life back, that's fine. But it doesn't erase the life that you have now. You have to figure out what you want, because... if you're not gonna protect yourself, maybe it's time that I rethink the risks that I've taken to protect you.

• Vincent Keller : You risked your job for me, and Alex. And even if I was gonna be with her, you were willing to protect me unconditionally, and no one...

  Catherine Chandler : I-I... I wasn't honest with you.

  Vincent Keller : When?

  Catherine Chandler : I can't compete with the life you had with Alex. But I don't want to give up on us before we've even begun. I want to be with you, Vincent. And I'm willing to fight for you. I...

  Vincent Keller : I... I don't know if my choice is so clear. I need to be honest with you. I really miss who I used to be. You know, Vinnie Keller, the doctor, the normal guy. And I think... I really think I can be that person again.

  Catherine Chandler : And with me, you'd always be what, not normal?

  Vincent Keller : Alex is willing to give her life up to go with me. And not here, just away somewhere from all of this so I can be free, you know? From... from Muirfield. Would you?

  Catherine Chandler : Would she? If she knew the truth. Vincent, you haven't told her. And until you do, isn't all of this just a fantasy?
