• Lucy Chen : Look, I came to LA to start over, so I am very respectfully just gonna pass, okay?

  Frank Tesca : Yeah, well, that's not really an option. I need access to certain protected plastics, and you need to not go to prison. But this is a very low-risk thing for you. A few barrels a month get misplaced. That kind of loss is normal, and it's built into the company's profit margin. I just need you to hide the missing inventory from your boss. You do that, and I'll pay you 5,000 bucks a month, huh? How's that sound?

  Lucy Chen : Tempting, but I think I would just prefer to give my notice today and let you make this deal with the next girl that sits behind my desk.

  Frank Tesca : Look, I'm trying to be nice here, hmm? But the alternative to you saying yes is me drowning you in that canal. So how about you get onboard, like, right now?

• Wesley Evers : So where are we, case-wise?

  Lucy Chen : Yeah, he made contact, asked me to dinner. Romantically, like a date? Well, ostensibly, it's about business, but he did just get out of prison, so odds are he's hopeful for a little somethin'-somethin'.

  Wesley Evers : Legally, there's two forms of entrapment. The first is offering so much money that an otherwise reasonable person commits an illegal act. The second is sex.

  Nyla Harper : Yeah, if a UC puts sex or love on the table as inducement to crime, it automatically becomes entrapment.

  Wesley Evers : The courts realize that love makes people do crazy things.

  Wesley Evers : Right, so I'm... Should we cancel dinner?

  Wesley Evers : No, but keep it professional. If he starts saying that he's doing it for you or for love, you got to walk.

  Lucy Chen : Yeah. Hey. Should I push a little about his brother?

  Nyla Harper : No, because you're still trying to build a foundation. Once he trusts you, he will hang himself. But we should get a decent wire for her, because he could get a little handsy.

  Wade Grey : Mm. All right. Pull the top of the line from HIDTA. We'll reconvene and brief two hours before your date. Any questions?
