Katie: You know, drinking on the job is going to get you fired.
Will: I hope so.

The people you have gotten involved with are not who they appear to be. These kinds of movements prey on idealists like you. You want to make a difference, but they will use you and cast you aside. They will destroy your life without conscience. You're wondering if you have a choice. You don't. You work for me now.

Phyllis

I suggest that you go back home and make sure that these tapes aren't the only thing that you've missed.

Phyllis

Homeland Security is speaking to your neighbors, letting all of them know that if anything happens to you and your family, everyone will be held personally responsible.

Phyllis

There's no version of an effective resistance. There's just misguided idealism that leads to death and despair.

Phyllis

They lose their kid and then they go to the factory just like that. I'm responsible for that, all so we can get our son back. Whatever you're going through, we're going through together. You can tell me anything. Just talk to me.

Will

See? Good work leads to more work

Beau

I'm sure you will find this unpalatable, but consider your target. Whether or not Mr. Hines is a true believer, he got eight Homeland Security troops and five civilians killed, and, I might add, he prevented you from going to Santa Monica to find your son. So, save your sympathy for his victims.

Phyllis

Katie: We live in a moment when we do what we have to do to protect the ones we love. The old rules don't apply.
Will: I'm a collaborator, Katie! What the hell am I doing?
Katie: You are protecting your family!

Will: How do you live with this job?
Phyllis: By focusing on the big picture. Have people already forgotten the arrival? Every defense mechanism in this city was wiped out within eight hours. Do you really think a handful of guerrillas is going to make a difference against them? All they're going to do is take more innocent lives and ensure that conditions in this block get much worse. The buses haven't left yet for the factory. I can probably hold them for a minute or two.

Will: Thanks for the backup.
Bo: I pulled the car up.

Katie: When did you get in?
Will: I don't know, but I think I heard a rooster.
