Quotes 

• Haley : Can I ask her, Granddad?

  Sen. Thomas Carlyle : You bet, Haley. You tell me everything she is fooling. Go ahead honey

  Haley : Okay, June 3rd 2003

  Carrie Wells : June 3rd 2003 was a Tuesday. George Bush landed in Egypt. The baseball player Sammy Sosa was thrown out of the game for having cork in his bat and let me guess: you were born!

  Haley : You're right! She is right! How do you do that?

  Carrie Wells : Well Haley, I have a very special gift: I remember everything.

  Al Burns : You might want to remember your job!

• [In a crowded lunchroom Al and Carrie spot the man they want to arrest] 

  Al Burns : I think a softer approach is better here

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I complete agree

  [takes out her gun] 

  Carrie Wells : POLICE! DON'T MOVE!

• Carrie Wells : You know, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You think I was just playing, but I had a whole master plan. And look at that, it worked. Mission accomplished.

  Al Burns : How'd you know it was her birthday?

  Carrie Wells : I'm brilliant.

• Al Burns : Jo, what do we got?

  Joanne Webster : Oh, a Pandora's box of poisons, illegal chemicals. There are two boxes of spiders in there. This guy *really* liked to mix things up.

  Al Burns : Can any of this help Carrie? 'Cause I need something here, Jo.

  Joanne Webster : Yes, actually it can. Whatever was used on Carrie is almost definitely in one of those boxes, plus the fact that we now know it was a neurotoxin.

  Al Burns : Because of her memory?

  Joanne Webster : Well, bad news for her, but it might just be the thing that saves her life.

• Al Burns : You feeling all right?

  Carrie Wells : Never better.

  Al Burns : You don't look so hot.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, yeah, well, that's the crappy fluorescent lighting in here.

• Joanne Webster : Homobatrachotoxin.

  Al Burns : What?

  Joanne Webster : Extremely rare. Amazonian hunters tip their arrows in it. Our guy must have had it on the cart. I put Dr. Miller on it, and I think we've come up with an antidote.

  Carrie Wells : This is good.

  Joanne Webster : We have no idea how much of that stuff you absorbed. And the poison is so rare...

  Carrie Wells : Ooh, that's a big needle.

• Al Burns : You all right?

  Carrie Wells : Uh-huh.

  Al Burns : Listen. What if, um... what if I just pulled the car out and we drove away?

  Carrie Wells : Really?

  Al Burns : Pick up a bottle of wine. Get that bread you like, with the cheese. We could head down to the water and...

  Carrie Wells : Pretend.

  Al Burns : Yeah. Maybe.

  Carrie Wells : That'd be nice.

  Al Burns : Let someone else be cops for a while.

  Carrie Wells : Oh...

  Al Burns : You've done enough. Give Jo time to find the antidote, let us all take over.

  Carrie Wells : What if she doesn't? What if she doesn't find an antidote? And anyway, when have I ever slowed down? I'm not slowing down. One of two things is gonna happen here. I'm gonna keep going, until, to quote that incredibly optimistic Dr. Miller, I either drop dead or I'm gonna solve this. I've never really been scared of anything in my... in my whole life, but this? I am scared of this. I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of losing my memory. Because without it, I...

  Al Burns : Carrie, you are so much more than your gift. Don't you know that?

• Logan Sale : You know, now that you bring it up, there was one thing tied to the Nigerian operation that was odd. We had to fire our top supervisor in the field. And he didn't take it very well. August Kincaid, former CIA. Old-school spook, full of himself, but very effective. He just lost control one too many times, especially in and around the Nigerian situation, so we had to fire him. He was belligerent and upset. The-the job was his entire life. It was like we took everything from him. Not healthy.

  Al Burns : So this isn't about an oil spill or Nigeria at all. This is about a guy with a grudge.

  Logan Sale : A very dangerous guy with a grudge.

• Al Burns : You're done, Kincaid.

  Carrie Wells : Who are you?

  Al Burns : Carrie. It's me, Al.

  Carrie Wells : [grinning]  Gotcha.

• Al Burns : So, they are gonna keep you overnight. Just to be sure.

  Carrie Wells : Aw! That sucks! They don't even have Jell-O.

  Al Burns : Jell-O?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. It's a long story. Well, the short version is that when I was a girl, my mom had appendicitis, they put her in the hospital, and every night they would give her these, you know, these little packages of Jell-O. And I would steal them, and I would eat them, and it basically became a lifelong craving.

  Al Burns : Mm-hmm. I never knew that about you.

  Carrie Wells : Well... some of the most sacred memories, it takes a while to reveal them even to the person you love.

  [he leans in and kisses her] 

  Carrie Wells : Wow. You know, with kisses like that, I'm really glad I didn't lose my memory. Because I will be able to play that in my head over and over.

• Al Burns : Look what I got.

  Carrie Wells : [gasping, then laughing]  No, no, where'd you get this?

  Al Burns : I told 'em I got a girl upstairs needs her Jell-O ASAP. I pulled the badge.

  Carrie Wells : You did not. Did you?

  Al Burns : I did not.

  [she laughs again] 

  Al Burns : I went across the street to the deli.

  Carrie Wells : You're very sweet, you know that?

  Al Burns : Well, I didn't want the moment to slip away.

  Carrie Wells : Moment's not going anywhere.

• Carrie Wells : My arm is killing me.

  Al Burns : That a symptom?

  Carrie Wells : No. Did you see the size of that needle?
