Quotes 

• Lucy Preston : Jeez. We had to land in a marsh?

  Rufus Carlin : Well, I thought it was a bit more private than the South Lawn.

• Rufus Carlin : What about the documents? How do we even start?

  Lucy Preston : We know they're connected to Watergate. I have an idea. You remember how to use a pay phone? We'll call every William M. Felt in the D.C. area until we find Mark Felt.

  Rufus Carlin : Mark Felt? Who's that?

  Lucy Preston : Mark Felt. Deep Throat. Secret informant. "Follow the money"? Deep Throat?

  Rufus Carlin : I know the porn one.

  Lucy Preston : Seriously? He was Associate Director of the FBI, and Deep Throat was his cover name. He tips off two reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, about Watergate, breaks open the entire case. If anybody knows about this document, it'll be him.

  Rufus Carlin : Well, if he's such a secret informant, what makes you think he's gonna talk to us?

  Lucy Preston : Because except for Woodward and Bernstein, nobody knows his identity for thirty years. But we do.

• Lucy Preston : I found him, he agreed to meet with us! Come on!

  Rufus Carlin : Deep Throat, here we come.
