• Zoe Morgan : Who the hell are you?

  John Reese : You can say we're in the same business. Fixing problems. I had information that you might be in danger

• Zoe Morgan : How did you know I was going to be in trouble?

  John Reese : Given your choice of career, doesn't seem like much of a stretch. You might consider a new line of work.

  Zoe Morgan : You're one to judge.

• Zoe Morgan : You don't know anything about me.

  John Reese : I know almost everything about you. I know you grew up in a nice house in Yonkers. I know your dad was a city official till he got snared in a corruption case. I know you spent the rest of your childhood in a little apartment in Queens with your mother. About the only thing I don't know about you is why you started doing whatever it is you do.

  Zoe Morgan : My dad was a party man. Machine politician. Did what he was told. Right up until the cops showed up, put the cuffs on him. The local press was camped out on our lawn for weeks. Then this guy showed up, the guy that the party would send to deal with... uncomfortable situations. He said two words. And those reporters? They packed up, and they left, and they never came back. And I realized, that's what I want to be. The person who knows what to say, and always has something to trade.

  John Reese : So what are you going to trade now?

• John Reese : Ms. Morgan, stay out of trouble.

  Zoe Morgan : Not gonna happen. You have my number.

• Anthony Talbott : Nice of Virtanen to send a skirt.

  Zoe Morgan : I understand that you have something of interest to my client.

  Anthony Talbott : You know, it is amazing what you can find just drifting out there in the ether. One thing I have learned about the, uh, smartest guys in the room... They just can't keep it in their pants.

  [Talbott passes the recording, Zoe gives him an envelope of cash] 

  Anthony Talbott : This is all $40,000?

  Zoe Morgan : Count it. At home.

  [Goes to leave] 

  Zoe Morgan : By the way, I would have asked for $80,000. Maybe it's a skirt thing.

• Zoe Morgan : So you are tracking my cell phone. I know how all the pieces of the city fit together. I know all the players. I know all the angles. And then there's you. You know, I don't understand you. And I don't like things that I don't understand.

  John Reese : Then why did you want me to come here?

  Zoe Morgan : Because I don't have to like you to get some news out of you.
