Annie Parisse: Kara Stanton

Quotes 

• Kara Stanton : [about the agents she just killed]  You didn't even question them.

  Kara Stanton : We don't have time for questions. Only answers. These men took a bribe to let a mass murderer escape.

  John Reese : How do we know it was them?

  Kara Stanton : Anonymous source. Very reliable.

  [He still looks uncertain] 

  Kara Stanton : You need to know this is right? I'll tell you one last time before it gets complicated. This is right. The threat is real. Your country needs you. No teeth, no fingertips. One last thing - You don't have any old friends. You see them, you don't know them. We're walking in the dark here, you understand?

  [Looks at him thoughtfully] 

  Kara Stanton : I think I've got it. You'll be...

  Harold Finch : [Cut to Finch]  Mr. Reese.

• Kara Stanton : Relax. We're on the same team. And besides, where would I hide a gun in this dress?

  Contact #1 : You're Stanton, right?

  [Gestures to John] 

  Contact #1 : Who's this?

  Kara Stanton : Haven't decided yet.

• Kara Stanton : You're the new guy, right? Let's go somewhere private so we can talk.

  John Reese : You're Stanton? I'm...

  Kara Stanton : No, you're not. The ID NCS gave you didn't pass muster, so you're nobody. Which means I get to name you. Wilson, maybe.

  [Looks at him, testing the name] 

  Kara Stanton : No.

  [Hands him a glass] 

  Kara Stanton : You should have a drink.

  John Reese : I don't drink when I'm working.

  Kara Stanton : No? Well, start. You tier one boys are all the same - Tense. Out here, "tense" gets us killed. In your old job, you were behind enemy lines for 6, 12 months?

  [John nods] 

  Kara Stanton : In this job, you never go back, because there is no line to cross back over. Never was. So you may as well get comfortable.
