- Ellie Bartowski: Morgan Grimes. The boy who took my pillow as his date to Junior Prom knows more about my family being spies than I do.
- Steve Bartowski: If we're not back in 20 minutes, run!
- Ellie Bartowski: I need to hear you say it. I need to know there's a reason you left us.
- Steve Bartowski: It's a long story. I wanna tell you everything, but I gotta - I gotta take care of this first, okay?
- [Hugs Ellie]
- Steve Bartowski: This is the last time I'm going to walk away from you, I promise. Love you, baby.
- John Casey: Don't know when it happened, but our boy became a man. Bartowski's a spy. Picked a good one, Walker - finally.
- Chuck Bartowski: I don't need a watch to beat you, Shaw. Come on, aren't you a little curious? I know I am. Don't you want to see how your Intersect stacks up against mine?
- Daniel Shaw: You're right, Chuck. The fight will be incredible. We're totally equal now. Nothing separates us. Though... there's one thing that's different. You can't function when your emotions have been compromised.
- Chuck Bartowski: Don't worry about that. I've never been more calm.
- Daniel Shaw: Really? How you feeling now?
- [Shoots Steve Bartowski]
- Ellie Bartowski: I'm following them now. Are you ready?
- Devon Woodcomb: We're ready. I'm warning you, Ellie. If we do this, there's no turning back, our lives are changed forever. I'm asking you one final time, are you sure this is what you want?
- Ellie Bartowski: [Sobbing] Yes.
- Sarah Walker: We have to call Washington and tell them what's really going on.
- John Casey: Most of Washington is in that room. Shaw and the Ring have taken over the CIA. He's got the whole chain of command eating out of his hand. God only knows how many Ring agents are on the inside. It's only a matter of time before they burn us, too.
- Sarah Walker: So what? You're just going to run?
- John Casey: It's not just us they're gonna to come after. They're gonna come after the people we care about. You coming?
- Sarah Walker: No. Everything I care about is inside this building.
- John Casey: Good luck, Agent Walker... Sarah.
- Devon Woodcomb: Chuck has been with the CIA for years. I am so glad you finally know. What a relief it is to talk.
- [Off Ellie's confused look]
- Devon Woodcomb: You don't know. Oh no, I just told you.
- Ellie Bartowski: You are going to tell me everything you know, right now!
- John Casey: You were named after your dad, Alex. You were named after me. My real name's Alex Coburn. Please, you have to trust me. You have to get to your mom and disappear. Go Alex. Run!
- Ellie Bartowski: Devon, an actual legitimate answer exists as to why my father has been missing my entire life. And you didn't think to ask that question?
- Devon Woodcomb: Correct.
- Ellie Bartowski: You need to find me somebody who knows a lot more than you do. Right now!
- General Diane Beckman: They're shutting down the Intersect Project, including myself. They apprehended Colonel Casey. Agent Walker is in custody. Bartowski eacaped this facility. He is a wanted man. I need you to find him. Much as it pains me to admit it, you are our only hope! You are our only hope!
- [the transmission ends]
- Devon Woodcomb: [to Morgan] Dude, did she mean you or me?
- Steve Bartowski: I'm your father. You cannot ask me. Please do not ask me to put my own son in jeopardy.
- Chuck Bartowski: I can't just walk away, dad. Why did you come back this time? You came back because you wanted to protect Ellie and me. Because you knew no matter how far you ran, you couldn't live with yourself if something happened to someone you love.
- Steve Bartowski: If we do this... we gotta be smart. Not think emotionally. We can do it. We're Bartowskis!
- John Casey: [Captured by Ring agents, being led down a hallway with Sarah] You're not gonna get away with this, Shaw!
- Daniel Shaw: Yes, I will. Love-struck Bartowski will try to come save you, and this time I'll be ready for him and his father.
- [Totally deadpan]
- Daniel Shaw: Mu-ha-ha.
- Devon Woodcomb: Ellie would never...
- Morgan Grimes: Devon.
- Devon Woodcomb: Whoa.
- Morgan Grimes: I'm sorry.
- Devon Woodcomb: You just called me "Devon."
- Morgan Grimes: Yeah, well, this is no time for frivolity.
- Steve Bartowski: That's what the Ring wants you to think. There's always a choice.
- Chuck Bartowski: What choice would that be, dad? To run away?... I'm not you, okay? I'm not going to spend the rest of my life in hiding. I can't leave the one I love behind...
- [to Sarah and Casey]
- Chuck Bartowski: Let's go!
- General Diane Beckman: In conclusion, General, I would stake my reputation on the success of Agent Bartowski.
- General Merriweather: [Chuck bursts in fighting Justin] As you were saying, General Beckman?
- General Diane Beckman: What the hell are you doing, Bartowski?
- Ellie Bartowski: Chuck, what the hell is going on?
- Chuck Bartowski: Apparently, I have no idea.
- Sarah Walker: Chuck, wait! Where are you going?
- Chuck Bartowski: Sarah, I have to leave. My - my dad is coming.
- Sarah Walker: No, you can't. You have to stay and fight. If you run, they'll put a burn notice on you, and you'll be running forever.
- Steve Bartowski: [Steve Bartowski arrives] We have to move. Right now!
- Sarah Walker: You can't do this. If you run, there's a bullseye on your back. They will *never* ever stop looking for you.
- Steve Bartowski: If you stay, everyone you love will be in danger. You have to decide. Who do you want to protect: you or her?
- Chuck Bartowski: Dad please don't -
- [the alarm starts blaring]
- Steve Bartowski: Right now, Charles! You have to run to protect her!
- Chuck Bartowski: I'm sorry, Sarah. I'm sorry, but if I have to choose, I will always choose to protect you!
- [Kisses Sarah]
- Steve Bartowski: Son, your brain is working fine so far, right? Who wouldn't be paranoid in your shoes? Your cover's blown, your secret base discovered, you dead partner and girlfriend's ex-lover was a double agent.
- Chuck Bartowski: Way to talk me down, dad.
- Steve Bartowski: What I - what I'm trying to say is: your courage makes me very proud. But there's some battles you have to walk away from.
