- Chuck Bartowski: Sarah, I'm not going to move in with you. Because I can't. And you know why I can't. I'm crazy about you. And I always have been. Having a fake relationship, that's one thing. But living together is... I mean, everyday being around each other and -and that's why I can't do it. I hope you understand.
- Sarah Walker: I do.
- Chuck Bartowski: Thank you.
- [Starts to leave then stops]
- Chuck Bartowski: Oh, and, uh, just so you know, I am going to get this thing out of my head, one day. I will. And when I do, I'm going to live the life I want with the girl I love. Because I'm not going to let this thing rob me of that. I won't.
- Cole Barker: Just doing my job, General. Actually, Chuck showed great courage on this mission. He got injured in the line of duty.
- John Casey: He got clipped by a window sill. It's as pathetic as it sounds.
- Chuck Bartowski: Making, uh, making a list, are you? And of what, may I ask?
- Ellie Bartowski: Ah, where should we begin? Maybe that TRON poster that you've had since you were 12.
- [Devon laughs]
- Chuck Bartowski: Dad gave me that poster.
- Ellie Bartowski: ...I know. He loved that movie.
- Sarah Walker: I guess I'm not the kind of girl who cheats on her cover boyfriend.
- Cole Barker: Is that all he is? A cover?
- Sarah Walker: What do you mean?
- Cole Barker: I saw the way you looked at him when his life was in danger. Been doing this a long time, Agent Walker.
- [sighs]
- Cole Barker: Well, who'd have thought it? Cole Barker loses the girl to Chuck Bartowski.
- Sarah Walker: When you meet someone you care about, it's just hard to walk away.
- Cole Barker: I couldn't have said it better myself.
- [Cole leaves]
- Lester Patel: Relax, Morgan. All you have to do is convince Anna that moving in with you is a bad idea.
- Morgan Grimes: Okay. How am I gonna...
- Lester Patel: Shh, shh, Bubele... you've come to the right place.
- [Quietly in Morgan's ear]
- Lester Patel: Repulsion is our business.
- Jeff Barnes: And business is good.
- Chuck Bartowski: Wow. At least no one's telling us to...
- John Casey: You heard the General, stay in the bunker!
- Chuck Bartowski: And there it is.
- Cole Barker: But what if we're lucky enough to find that person? We're supposed to walk away? Doesn't seem fair.
- Sarah Walker: No... Because it isn't.
- [Sarah walks away]
- Cole Barker: [to Chuck] I've got some not-so secrets for you. If you want something bad enough, don't ever take "No" for an answer. And for godsakes, man, carry a gun! Maybe two.
- Sarah Walker: You know, I know this whole 24 hour supervision thing isn't exactly great, but when the CIA finds us a new apartment, at least we'll have separate rooms.
- Chuck Bartowski: Great.
- Sarah Walker: Consider yourself lucky. At least, you didn't have to move in with Casey, right?
- Chuck Bartowski: [Fake laugh] Lucky me.
- Sarah Walker: So, when they asked you about the Intersect?
- Cole Barker: I didn't tell them anything. It's not my first dance, Walker. If I told them anything, Casey, Chuck, *you* would all be in their crosshairs. Not an option.
- Sarah Walker: Why come back here after you escaped?
- Cole Barker: To make sure you were safe.
- Cole Barker: Yeah, well, sometimes things don't always go as planned, Chuck. You have to improvise.
- Chuck Bartowski: Look, you can't run off and be the hero all the time.
- Cole Barker: It's not about wanting to be a hero, Chuck. It's about *needing* to be.
- Chuck Bartowski: Two guns, huh? Wow. You really are a bad ass.
- Cole Barker: No, Chuck, one gun. The other gun
- [Cole offers a gun to Chuck]
- Cole Barker: is for you.
- Sarah Walker: We work for the government, Dr. Busgang.
- Perseus: So do I. Tell them, Duncan. We work for the CIA.
- John Casey: No. The men you work for are terrorists.
- [Casey gets slammed against the wall by two agents]
- John Casey: Hey!
- Duncan: Terrorists? We're patriots. Howard, you're a patriot.
- John Casey: You're spies who've turn your back on your country!
- Duncan: You couldn't have it more wrong. Who do you think we are? We do what needs to be done to preserve our nation's rightful place in the world. Someday you'll thank us. Well, not you, you'll be dead.
- Perseus: You're the one they've been talking about, aren't you? I didn't believe it could be true... A human Intersect.
- [sighs]
- Perseus: Extraordinary.
- Chuck Bartowski: Maybe for you. But you have to understand, for me - for me it's a nightmare. Living with this thing in my head is ruining my life. Is there anyway that - that the Intersect images can be taken out? You know, can a person be de-Intersected?
- Perseus: Can it be removed? Possibly... I don't know. Only Orion would know.
- John Casey: Let me ask you something. When you escaped from FULCRUM did you reall take out 9 guys?
- Cole Barker: The truth?
- John Casey: Professional courtesy.
- Cole Barker: More like 12, I don't like to boast.
- Cole Barker: I have to say Chuck, you are truly the most... special agent I've ever worked with.
- John Casey: Heh. Special.
- Lester Patel: [Morgan doesn't want Anna moving in with him] You've come to the right place. Repulsion is our business.
- Jeff: And business is good.
- John Casey: Don't follow him. It's too dangerous.
- Chuck Bartowski: He might know how to get the Intersect out of my head.
- John Casey: Listen, do not go after him on your own. Do not be a hero here, Chuck.
- Chuck Bartowski: Look, I don't wanna a hero, but sometimes you *need* to be. Besides, this is doable.
- Cole Barker: That's the second time you've shot me!
- Duncan: [Aiming his gun] Let's hope the third time's the charm!
- Cole Barker: Sweep the leg.
