- Simon Asher: When was the last time you were fingerprinted?
- Alex Parrish: Um... when we got our IDs at Quantico, same as everyone else.
- Simon Asher: I see the scar. That's significant.
- Alex Parrish: Yeah.
- Simon Asher: It's not on the C-4.
- Alex Parrish: Oh, my God. Which means whoever's framing me... they didn't start last week or last month
- Simon Asher: They started to frame you the day you walked into Quantico.
- Simon Asher: [attempting psych evaluation] How would you say you feel about your mother?
- Ryan Booth: Not as good as I feel about yours...
- Nimah Amin: [to Raina] You are average, that's why I'm mad. I didn't even want to be here in the first place, and now that I'm here, I'm not allowed to do my best. I'm stuck doing *your* best.
- [first lines]
- Agent: [raiding a house] FBI! Hands! Show me your hands! Hands!
- Liam O'Connor: A hero's welcome...
- Ryan Booth: Taking a bullet doesn't make anyone a hero. It's what we do today that matters.
- Nimah Amin: [reading her peer evaluation] "Amin is clearly the weakest link among the trainees. Her ability is sub-par, and her attitude so unpredictable, she almost has a split personality." Says Vasquez!
- Alex Parrish: "Alex relies on the approval of authority figures, but only men." Are you serious, Nimah?
- Ryan Booth: "A jarhead drone who will follow anyone's orders and never question anything." Nice one, buddy.
- Shelby Wyatt: "Wyatt exploits her personal tragedy to justify a simplistic black-and-white crusade." How dare you!
