Quotes 

• [Rich Dotcom asks Agent Weller and Jane Doe if they're actually married] 

  Rich Dotcom : You two aren't actually married in real life? 'Cause you had some serious chemistry back at the Hamptons.

  Kurt Weller : [as Agent Allison Knight listens]  It's all part of the act.

  Rich Dotcom : You know, that does make sense, because I was getting a lot of non-verbal sexual cues from you. So just so you know, I was picking up what you were putting down!

• [the FBI informs Jane Doe on who Shohid Ahktar is] 

  Bethany Mayfair : Shohid Ahktar, eight on the FBI's most wanted list.

  Tasha Zapata : He's basically the bank for every major terrorist organization in the world.

  Kurt Weller : Bring him down, we'll cripple ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Dabbur Zahn.

  Edgar Reade : We don't even know what Ahktar looks like.

• [Rich Dotcom sees Jane Doe and Agent Weller for the first time since his arrest] 

  Rich Dotcom : Holy derby, you two look great.

  Kurt Weller : [Weller comments on Rich's bruises]  Wish I could say the same.

  Rich Dotcom : What are you saying? I don't look tough? Are you kidding me? I got a glimpse of myself on the window here, I thought I looked pretty tough. I don't look tough?

  Jane Doe : No.

• [Agent Weller greets Rich Dotcom in prison] 

  Kurt Weller : What have you got for us?

  Rich Dotcom : Okay, well, first of all, I don't love this dynamic. Where is, 'Hello'? Where is, 'Are you okay'? Where's, 'Hey Rich, those bruises make you look super tough'? Also, what are your real names?

• [Agent Weller properly introduces himself and Jane Doe to Rich Dotcom] 

  Kurt Weller : My name is Kurt Weller. I'm a special agent with the FBI. This is our consultant, Jane Doe.

  Rich Dotcom : Jane Doe? Wow. So - So punk. Dig the ink, too. Did that hurt? I heard the neck is the most sensitive...

  Kurt Weller : [Weller interrupts him]  Where is Shohid Ahktar, and how do we get him?

  Rich Dotcom : You see, that's what I love about you two. You keep me focused.

• [Rich Dotcom tells Agent Weller and Jane Doe about the inmates in prison] 

  Rich Dotcom : These people are monsters in here and have, like, zero sense of humor. Also, the sex is surprisingly vanilla. I keep telling people, 'Hello, we're in prison.' 'What are you afraid of? Just get in there and go for it and just have some fun.' You know? I mean, treat me like a piece of meat.

  Kurt Weller : All right, enough.

• [Rich Dotcom tells the agents that they can only steal the Gardner paintings] 

  Rich Dotcom : Ahktar is meticulous. These are the most prestigious paintings of the entire underground art world. He's gonna want to verify them himself.

  Kurt Weller : Fine, but we are FBI, so we don't need to steal them. We get a warrant and we arrest him.

  Rich Dotcom : Can we start assuming that criminals that have avoided capture their entire lives are just a titch smarter than you? Turner wears a kill switch around his neck. He even smells the word Fed, he presses a switch and the gallery incinerates, destroying all the art and any evidence that can lead to a conviction. Look, we can't arrest Turner, and we don't have time to make fakes, so if you wish to capture Ahktar, we need to steal the Gardner paintings.

• [the agents and Rich Dotcom feel the pressure of disarming the power to Randall Turner's home] 

  Kurt Weller : So... we have to be fast.

  Allison Knight : Yeah, or dead if he trips his kill switch.

  Rich Dotcom : If I'm Turner, I'm not gonna destroy my priceless beloved paintings over a false alarm. I don't think. Who feels lucky?

• [the agents get the doors open to the Gardner paintings room, needing something to hold the doors open] 

  Rich Dotcom : We need to find something to brace the doors open or else they're just gonna slam shut when the power comes back on.

  Rich Dotcom : [Weller reaches to a bronze Eagle statue, shoving it between the closing doors]  Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... that is the bronze Eagle finial. You just made a $100,000 doorstop.

  Kurt Weller : You're welcome.

• [Agent Weller holds the last painting up as Rich Dotcom cuts the back tension wires] 

  Rich Dotcom : So tell me again why you're not with Jane? 'Cause I mean every time something goes wrong, or right for that matter, you look at Jane first - Not Allie, Jane.

  Kurt Weller : It doesn't mean a thing.

  Rich Dotcom : Some people might think it means you're more worried/excited about Jane, than you are about lady Tommy Lee Jones over there.

  Kurt Weller : [as Weller talks in a low voice]  Why don't you focus on cutting the wires and disarm the shotgun at my face and stop talking about Jane.

  Rich Dotcom : I can do both. I'm an excellent multi-tasker.

• [CIA Agent Allison Knight informs the FBI about Rich Dotcom's cooperation] 

  Allison Knight : Ever since we apprehended Rich Dotcom, the Marshall's have been trying to get him to roll over on some of his Dark Web associates, but he's been less than cooperative, until today.

  Bethany Mayfair : What changed?

  Allison Knight : He got his ass kicked in prison.

  Kurt Weller : [Weller chuckles]  Sounds about right.

• [Rich Dotcom asks Agent Weller and Jane Doe if they want Ahktar or not] 

  Rich Dotcom : Okay, look... long story short, I'm not gonna make it in here, okay? I know me. These people will kill me eventually. So do you want Ahktar or not?

  Kurt Weller : I think we can make that happen.

  Rich Dotcom : You know what you just did? You just got the band back together.

• [Rich Dotcom tries to open the lock on Randall Turner's door as he talks to Agent Weller] 

  Kurt Weller : If that door's not opened in five seconds, I'm gonna break your jaw.

  Rich Dotcom : I'm just saying, historically, I have a pretty good nose for this sort of thing.

  Kurt Weller : Fine. I'll break your nose.

  Rich Dotcom : Play your cards right, you get a little holy trinity going, am I right?
