Robert McCall : Very good.
Teri : I know. I got it from a used book store. The guy there recommended it to me. It's good. I got a job, too. Like, a real job with real hours and stuff.
Robert McCall : Okay.
Teri : You know, when they gave me my stuff back at the hospital, there was this envelope with my name on it. Almost $10,000 inside and a ticket out of town. I don't know, probably hush money, right?
Robert McCall : Probably.
Teri : Who cares? A new start.
Robert McCall : Alina the singer.

Robert McCall : You got your own now.
Teri : Thank you. For everything.
