Nick: Was she unhappy?
Jack: No, no, it was quite the opposite. She couldn't handle being happy. It was like she thought it was all going to fall apart any second, and that my parents were going to kick her out or I was plotting against her, so I guess she figured she might as well just reject my whole family first.

Nick: Warren, she killed an FBI agent.
Warren: Did you see her pull the trigger?
Nick: She shot at Detective Gibbs and me.
Warren: I taught her to shoot myself, if she shot at you you'd be dead.

Don't sit here and lie to me like you care about her. Six years she was out there. Took only one before you threw in the towel. Nothing would have stopped me if it were my wife. Remarried. You're a poor excuse for a man, now get out.

Warren

Nick: The only thing that you are getting closer to, Emily, is getting shot dead in the street. Think about our son.
Emily: I am. I'm not going to let him grow up thinking that I'm a murderer. I'd rather die trying to clear my name.

Alice: Are you in love with her?
Nick: Part of me will always love her.

It's my fault. Everything she does from here on out is on me.

Nick

Nick: I wanted to bring her in alive, if I could.
Gibbs: So much for that.
