Piper Perabo: Annie Walker

Quotes 

• [the DPD has thrown Annie a surprise birthday party] 

  Annie Walker : So, the sudden craving for chai?

  Auggie Anderson : Subterfuge.

  Annie Walker : Auggie, you are six whole days off. You don't need subterfuge, you need a calendar.

  Auggie Anderson : Oh.

  Annie Walker : Unless... you know some reason why I won't be here next week to celebrate.

  Joan Campbell : [enters]  Annie.

  [Annie whirls around, knows this is what it's about] 

  Joan Campbell : A word in my office when you're done here.

  Annie Walker : [meaningful glance]  Auggie...

  [shakes her head] 

• Annie Walker : You're sending me to Paris?

  Joan Campbell : See, now I'm already having second thoughts.

  Annie Walker : But... you just gave me the assignment.

  Joan Campbell : Yeah, but you've got that look.

  Annie Walker : Look? What look?

  Joan Campbell : The look that every female operative gets the first time I send her to Paris.

• [Annie is trying to initiate contact with a potential CIA asset] 

  Annie Walker : I think... I have an opening. Nineteenth century portraits.

  Auggie Anderson : You call that an opening?

  Annie Walker : Got any good conversation starters?

  Auggie Anderson : Yeah, I do, actually, but they all require that you not be able to see.

• Salma Devrient : [in back of taxi]  If I'm right, I will be waiting for your offers. If I'm wrong,

  [looks at Eyal] 

  Salma Devrient : well, it was fun while it lasted.

  [purses her mouth, as taxi stops and Eyal gets out, and she follows] 

  Annie Walker : [as a disgruntled Eyal climbs back in]  I totally didn't see that coming, did you?

  Eyal Lavine : What is it about you Americans that brings out the worst in everyone you meet?

  [Annie sighs, him too, and they both avoid looking at each other] 

• Auggie Anderson : [trans-Atlantic phone call]  And what did it cost to lay this Freudian trap of yours?

  Annie Walker : [matter-of-factly]  Six thousand.

  Auggie Anderson : Six - six thousand euros for a pocketbook?

  Jai Wilcox : It's actually not bad. Full retail's close to seven.

  Auggie Anderson : [dismayed]  Can you return it when you're done, or - or convert it into a *condo?*

  Annie Walker : [smiles]  You're obviously not a woman. Joan will understand the underlying psychology.

  Joan Campbell : [enters]  No. Joan would not understand.

  Annie Walker : Oh! Hey, Joan.

• Annie Walker : [Salma knew she was being played]  I totally didn't see that coming. Did you?

  Eyal Lavine : What is it about you Americans that brings out the worst in everyone you meet?

  [Annie has no answer to this]
