- Mary Bartowski: Chuck, I'm sorry for everything. I hope someday you'll trust me.
- [Mary starts to leave]
- Chuck Bartowski: Mom.
- [Mary stops and turns around]
- Chuck Bartowski: I already do.
- Mary Bartowski: We can't stay here. Volkoff has contacts in the CIA. We have to move.
- Chuck Bartowski: We should believe you because last time things worked out so well.
- Mary Bartowski: Chuck, I didn't want to have to do the things I did.
- Chuck Bartowski: Most people's moms don't have to explain to their kids why they shot them or tied them up and blew up their childhood homes.
- Chuck Bartowski: How can I trust anything she says? Every time I do, I wind up getting shot or blown up. I haven't been stabbed yet.
- Sarah Walker: Chuck, going undercover for so long, staying loyal is extremely hard to do as a spy. I mean, I got lucky, I was assigned to you. Your mom - got Volkoff.
- Chuck Bartowski: [to Sarah] Don't sound so skeptical, all right? If my mom were standing in front of me right now, I honestly think I'd say "All is forgiven. Good luck being an evil bad guy."
- [Chuck notices a jewelry store]
- Chuck Bartowski: And, uh, speaking of looking forward to the future...
- Sarah Walker: So, how was shutting off the Intersect meant to protect Chuck?
- Mary Bartowski: It was meant to stop him from looking for me.
- Sarah Walker: [Sarah's phone rings] Yes?
- Chuck Bartowski: But then I went out on missions unprotected. She's made me even more vulnerable.
- Sarah Walker: I don't think this is helping.
- Alexei Volkoff: Tell them. I'm not leaving here without you, my love.
- Chuck Bartowski: What?..."My love?"
- Sarah Walker: What does that mean?
- Mary Bartowski: It means that Alexei Volkoff is in love with me.
- Alexei Volkoff: And I will incinerate every single one of you, including my beloved Frost. I'd rather she die than have to live without me. Give her back to me and I'll let you live. *That* is how you threaten someone, Charles.
- Alexei Volkoff: [to Mary] You didn't think I could have a relationship with your family? Kids love me. I'll prove you wrong. Charles.
- [Volkoff sighs]
- Alexei Volkoff: Chuck.
- [Volkoff kisses Chuck on the cheeks]
- Alexei Volkoff: Call your sister back. Tell her you're coming to dinner. And you're bringing some guests.
- Mary Bartowski: [Pointing a gun at Volkoff] Alexei, stop!
- Alexei Volkoff: My love? What are you doing?
- Mary Bartowski: This is exactly why I didn't tell you about my family. You don't know how to love someone, you only know how to control them. But you should know that I could never love a man who would do anything to hurt my son. So drop it! Alexei, you know that I am loyal to you. But I will not return with you until you promise me that my family and their friends will remain safe. If you don't - I will end you.
- Alexei Volkoff: [Slight pause, then to Chuck] You see? That is a *real* threat.
- Devon Woodcomb: Whoa. Wait. Are you telling me you just solved a problem that your dad left you?
- Ellie Bartowski: No. I solved it 20 minutes ago. And suddenly the computer just... locked up.
- Sarah Walker: I don't get it. Why would Volkoff pull off a full on assault on a CIA facility for one agent? He's gotta be after something bigger.
- Chuck Bartowski: Yeah. Well, whatever it is, there's something my mom's not telling us.
- Chuck Bartowski: You've been close to Volkoff for years. Why didn't you just take him out?
- Mary Bartowski: My mission was to take down the network, not the man. Which is something I *still* might be able to do. But if you want to save yourself and your friends, then you need to turn me over to him. You have no choice.
- Devon Woodcomb: Stop! Okay? Just stop. I don't want to know. I don't want this spy stuff near Ellie ever again.
- Chuck Bartowski: Never. Never ever again.
- Devon Woodcomb: She doesn't want you near it either, understand? So this conversation never took place.
- [Devon pulls out a computer]
- Chuck Bartowski: Devon, this is one of my father's laptops. How did you -?
- Devon Woodcomb: He left it for Ellie. It was broke and we fixed it. There's something on it. Brain scans, some memory problem that Ellie figured out.
- Chuck Bartowski: What - what does it mean?
- Devon Woodcomb: I don't wanna know. Neither does Ellie. But if you're spying again, maybe it can help you.
