- Vincent: Catherine, no.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: I have to. It's the only way. With Luz discredited, nothing stands in way of the tower. Elliot leaked the story, I'm sure of it. Luz stood in his way, so he removed her and used me to do it.
- Vincent: But how can you even consider a union with this man?
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: He's a human being. Strong, weak, good, and bad. You said so yourself, Vincent. And he loves me, as much as a man like Elliot can love.
- Vincent: But you do not love this man.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: No. But there's more at stake than just me here. The painted tunnels, Elizabeth. Father and Mouse. All the children who have found safety below. And you. You most of all. Vincent, you have risked your life for me a hundred times. How can I stand by and watch your world be destroyed when I have the power to save it?
- Vincent: I can't allow you to sacrifice yourself in such a way.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: I'm sorry, Vincent, but it's not your decision. I'm going to marry him. I have to.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: [Mouse was caught at Elliot's construction site] Let him go, Elliot. He won't bother you again. I promise.
- Elliot Burch: He asked for you. Doesn't know the name of the President of the United States, but he knows your name. Now, I find that just a little curious.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: Please, just let him go. No harm was done. What good would it do you to have him arrested?
- Elliot Burch: I might get a few answers. A few months ago, you came to me, needed my help. You couldn't explain why. "Trust me", you said. Well, trust is a two-way street. If you want me to let this person go, then trust me enough to answer some of my questions.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: You can't barter for trust, Elliot.
- Elliot Burch: Oof.
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: And I can't tell you what you want to know. I made a promise.
- Elliot Burch: Well, then why should I let him go?
- Asst. Dist. Atty. Catherine Chandler: Because I'm asking you to.
