Piper Perabo: Annie Walker

Quotes 

• Gary : Over the next few days and weeks, we'll be doing timelines. We'll be doing polygraphs. And we'll talk.

  Annie Walker : [smiling]  And if I act contrite enough, I get to go back to my desk?

  Gary : Do you have something to be contrite about?

  Annie Walker : No.

  [shakes her head] 

  Annie Walker : I've done nothing wrong.

  Gary : Didn't you fall in love with Simon Fischer?

  Annie Walker : You asked me if I did anything wrong.

  Gary : Did you love him?

  Annie Walker : [forcing a smile]  Yes, I loved him.

  Gary : So you were... unable to separate your professional life from your personal one?

  Annie Walker : The CIA has asked me that question before. Both then and now, it feels like an indictment. The truth is, the CIA needs me to blur those lines, and I... am very... good at it.

  Gary : [regards her a couple seconds]  You didn't answer the question.

  Annie Walker : My mission was to make my professional life my personal one.

  [door opens behind them] 

  Annie Walker : And my personal life professional.

• Eyal Lavine : Listen, uh... you know, just because I saved you out of a Russian prison doesn't mean you owe me anything.

  [smiles] 

  Annie Walker : I didn't say I did.

  Eyal Lavine : Why not? I saved you out of a Russian prison!

• Annie Walker : Right, you agreed. And now they're here, on our soil, spying on our ally. Don't you wanna know why?

  Joan Campbell : Do you think Eyal will tell you?

  Annie Walker : I think there's more to discover than just the watch.

  [sighs] 

  Annie Walker : I think I can find out what Eyal is after, and get to the intel first.

  Joan Campbell : What if he gets to it first?

  Annie Walker : You said you put me on this because I'm good at handling Eyal. Let me handle him.

  Joan Campbell : That's fine. My concern is that he's handling you.

  Annie Walker : He isn't.

  [shakes her head] 

  Annie Walker : He won't.

  Joan Campbell : [softly]  Okay.

  [Annie goes off] 

• Annie Walker : How did you find me? I checked my tail.

  Eyal Lavine : I had a GPS tracking device in my pocket. It must have fallen out when I was riding in your car.

  Annie Walker : Ah. I would have called you had I found anything.

  Eyal Lavine : [equally deceitful]  Oh, absolutely. As would I.
