  Elizabeth Keen : Pass.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Oh my gosh. You have no idea what you're missing. Try a grapefruit gusher. It's just like you today: a little sour.

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : [Speaking to Liz]  The man who killed Paul Wyatt wasn't trying to make a point. He was trying to make a sale. His name is Dr. James Covington. A few years ago, he was considered one of the top cardiothoracic surgeons in the country. Now he runs an illegal organ transplant ring. His operation, if you'll indulge the term, is one-stop shopping for anyone who needs a life-saving organ transplant but who can't or doesn't want to go through conventional channels.
