- Peter Burke: [discussing their newest case] This guy's a skilled forger, safe cracker, lots of panache, and he's only twenty years old. Think we might be looking at the next Neal Caffrey.
- Neal Caffrey: Mm-hmm. He's a hacker. I don't hack.
- Peter Burke: You're right. A Neal Caffrey for the new millennia, then.
- Neal Caffrey: When I was twenty, I didn't get caught.
- Peter Burke: What do you think of him?
- Neal Caffrey: He's a kid having the time of his life. He's impulsive, arrogant, and has no idea how deeply in over his head he is.
- [Peter nods at him]
- Neal Caffrey: Okay, fine, he bears a cursory resemblance to me.
- Peter Burke: Think we can bring him back from the dark side?
- Neal Caffrey: It's hard to do.
- Peter Burke: I wonder what would've happened if I'd have caught you earlier.
- Neal Caffrey: It wouldn't have made a difference, Peter. The con is a rush, it's an addiction. And you need to hit rock bottom before you can change.
- Peter Burke: When did you hit bottom?
- Neal Caffrey: I never said I did.
