Quotes

• The point is, until today, this look into Quinn that you and Carrie asked us to do was feeling like a big fucking jerk-off. Everywhere we looked, he checked out.
• Till today? What happened today?
• We tracked down where he lives. Took a peek into his apartment.
• Shit, Virgil.Told you to check him out, not break into his apartment.
• Show him, Max.
• Anti-intrusion devices everywhere. Man lives like he's ready to bounce at a moment's notice.
• That's it? A CIA analyst is a security-phobe? His personal life's a little wanting?
• The field office is one thing, Saul, but I've never met an analyst that lives like this. Do you know what that is? It's a rifle-cleaning kit. That pull-through cable tells me that it's a rifle with a long-ass barrel. A sniper rifle.
• Anything else?
• One personal item. We found it tucked away in the only book that he has. Her name's Julia Diaz. Easy to trace because she's law enforcement. Philadelphia PD.
• Find out what precinct she's in and get me the address.

• Julia: You called for me, sir?
• Saul: Officer Diaz?
• Julia: And you are?
• Saul: Richard Keller. Good to meet you, Officer.
• Julia: What can I do for you today, Mr. Keller?
• Saul: Richard, please. Is there somewhere we could speak in private?
• Julia: What about?
• Saul: Your son. Actually, it's more about his father, John Sr.
• Julia: Who are you? Really? IRS? Come with me. I haven't seen John since John Jr. was born, so that's four years.
• Saul: But he sends you money?
• Julia: Am I right? I've upset you.
• Saul: I'm sorry. Occupational hazard.
• Julia: I'm a cop, sir, not a moron or a criminal. So if you're looking to find some tax beef on me, write me a letter. I can go get myself a lawyer, and we can do this right.
• Saul: Maybe it's not with you that we have a discrepancy. Maybe it's with your husband.
• Julia: We were never married.
• Saul: Does he have anything to do with your son? Does that have anything to do with you? If, uh if you could give me John's last name, for the record.
• Julia: Sure. I can confirm it for you. It means you go first.
• Saul: Understood the meaning.
• Julia: And since we're, uh, being all open and honest here, Richard, how does the IRS get that picture of me and my kid? Has something happened to him? What is this all about? You're not IRS, are you? If you'd like to check my credentials, be my guest.
• Saul: Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Officer. Have a good night.
