• Kristen : What'd you say if we told you Gaines isn't dealin' drugs?

  Nettle : I'd say, "When are you gonna make the case?"

  Kristen : Will Gaines isn't dealin' drugs. At least not to us. We've tried to get next to the man for five months. He won't come across with anything. Nothin'. He won't even talk about it.

  Nettle : [unperturbed]  Now, Will Gaines is a dealer in drugs and pornography, and that is a fact. Make the case.

  Kristen : Are you tellin' us to plant evidence?

  Nettle : [glances at Dodd, then back to Kristen]  I'm tellin' you that sometimes good work is accomplished in mysterious ways.

• Kristen : Yeah, but it's a fine line, Dodd.

• Dodd : You don't have to do this, you know.

  Kristen : I know.

  Dodd : It isn't going to be the way you think it is. It gets ugly.

  Kristen : Yes sir, I know.

  Dodd : No, you don't know. You get ugly with it.

• Jim Raynor : Feels like a lone ride to nowhere, doesn't it?

  Kristen : You know, after I finished with the grand jury, they applauded me. It made me feel sick. I feel sick.

  Jim Raynor : You pick a side. Because you have to. And it's supposed to be the right one. Difference being, our intentions were good. But...

  Kristen : Difference is there isn't any difference.

• Kristen : You know what scares me? The thought of all those people getting up in court, telling what we did.

  Jim Raynor : Nobody believes them. It's above the dealers and other cops. That's what makes the whole thing work. You never admit to anything. Someone's holding evidence in your face... nothing.

• Kristen : [Walker has arrived at her place having driven a Yellow Cab, which he's apparently stolen]  A cab?

  Walker : On it like a hawk on a June bug. Well, everybody's always sayin', "Why don't you just take a cab?"

• Jim Raynor : Broke in Montana. I kept meaning to get it fixed, then I came down here, where it's warm, and I lost my motivation.

  Kristen : Is that where you're from, Montana?

  Jim Raynor : The eastern part. The Big Empty. And now, I'm from Caddo Lake, Texas.

  Kristen : Were you a narc up there too?

  Jim Raynor : Ruins you for everything else.

  Kristen : [laughs] 

  Jim Raynor : That's probably not a joke.
