Carrie Mathison : What is this place?
Leland Bennett : The firm keeps it for our more privacy-sensitive clients. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Carrie Mathison : I tried to tell your colleague, Mr., um...
Leland Bennett : Franklin.
Carrie Mathison : Mr. Franklin. Uh... you're wasting your time.
Leland Bennett : Well, how do you know that when you haven't heard our proposal?
Carrie Mathison : Well, I'm not for sale.
Leland Bennett : Well, we're not trying to buy you. Really. And no one's gonna ask you to do anything you're too uncomfortable with.
Carrie Mathison : Well, I'm already uncomfortable.
Leland Bennett : It's up to you to draw the line you won't cross.
Carrie Mathison : For all I know, you're FBI and this is a sting.
[he snickers]
Carrie Mathison : What's so funny?
Leland Bennett : You have an active imagination.
Carrie Mathison : Well, somebody shut down my bank account and repossessed my car.
Leland Bennett : Your own agency did that to you.
Carrie Mathison : Yeah, that's my point. I'm not going to jail.
Leland Bennett : It seems to me you're already there.

Leland Bennett : Our firm has long-standing relationships with several countries in the Middle East. We lobby on their behalf, quietly represent their interests here in Washington.
Carrie Mathison : Yeah, I know how this works. So what does your client want?
Leland Bennett : To pick your brain from time to time. Put you retainer, as it were.
Carrie Mathison : Pick my brain? On what subject?
Leland Bennett : Your area of expertise.
Carrie Mathison : For example?
Leland Bennett : For example, he recently lost six business associates. Maybe you heard about it.
Carrie Mathison : So this is Iran we're talking about.
Leland Bennett : He'd like to know how those men were identified and targeted.
Carrie Mathison : That line you mentioned? We just crossed it.

Carrie Mathison : Iran was behind the Langley bombing.
Leland Bennett : Which they carried out in retaliation for Israeli air strikes on their nuclear facilities.
Carrie Mathison : I reject the comparison.
Leland Bennett : Why? It's one military target for another. Iran takes great care of its propotional response to acts of aggression. An airliner for an airliner. A Mossad agent for a physicist.
Carrie Mathison : Sounds like you've drunk the Kool-Aid.
Leland Bennett : I'm a professional. I'm paid to make arguments, not wave a flag.
Carrie Mathison : [turning to leave] Goodbye, Mr. Bennett.
Leland Bennett : You'll be back in county lockup by the end of the day, put there by the very institutions you're trying to protect.
Carrie Mathison : I'll take my chances.

Leland Bennett : Are you familiar with the term "controversialize"?
Carrie Mathison : No.
Leland Bennett : Well, that's what they're doing to you. They're turning you into the story. They started by leaking your relationship with Congressman Brody. Next it was Saul Berenson's testimony in front of the Senate Select Committee. Then they had you committed. Pretty soon it's not a story about a terrorist attack anymore, or how the people meant to protect us screwed up. It's about you. It's about sex between a bipolar CIA officer and her brainwashed boyfriend.
Carrie Mathison : I'm not a traitor.
Leland Bennett : No. What you are is a liability, to a lot of people who've got a lot to lose. So far they've kept your name out of the press, but how long do you think that's gonna last? And what happens then? I'll tell you what. You're destroyed. You're a pariah. And in six months or a year, if you haven't killed yourself by then, they'll do it for you. You're naïve to think they won't. You'll slip in the shower, or they'll force-feed you lithium 'till your heart stops, or they'll hang you on a doorknob and call it suicide.

Leland Bennett : Let us help you, Carrie. We're very good at it.
Carrie Mathison : You can keep me out of the hospital?
Leland Bennett : I can.
Carrie Mathison : I'm broke. I don't have a dime to my name.
Leland Bennett : You'll be compensated handsomely.
Carrie Mathison : Well, then, I never want to see you again, Mr. Bennett. I will see your client. But only him. And only face to face.
Leland Bennett : That could be a problem.
Carrie Mathison : His problem. And tell him I won't name names, either. I won't betray my people in the field.
Leland Bennett : It's between you and him.
Carrie Mathison : No. That is non-negotiable.
Leland Bennett : Okay. Think of it this way. Maybe you two can find some common ground. Put the world right. Save us all.
Carrie Mathison : [quietly] Fuck you.
Leland Bennett : I'm sorry, did you say something?
Carrie Mathison : Yeah. Fuck you.
