Alexis: This is crazy. Those trips to Bangalore, I was with her. We went for my grandmother's 99th birthday. Three weeks later she died. We went back for the funeral. Why isn't anyone reporting that?
Rollins: Because terrorists make better news.

PR Guy: Terrorist or not, I'm not surprised that Tara lost it mid-air.
Benson: Why?
PR Guy: Because she'd been spiraling for months.
Benson: Then why would you ever put her on a plane?
PR Guy: I recommended she be grounded. But nobody would listen. They thought it would be bad for our image if we benched our only female pilot. But how's our image looking now?

Rollins: I always thought airport jails were a myth.
Security agent: We use them more than you'd think. Just sorry you had to schlep all the way out here.
Benson: You don't believe her?

Benson: I think if Noah and I have to spend another day together, we'll both need straitjackets.
Dodds: How is the little guy?
Benson: He's great. He's stayed up past 10 o'clock every night this week and last night I let him finish an ice cream sundae while watching cartoons in my bed.
Dodds: And you?
Benson: I'm good, as long as I don't close my eyes.

Benson: You did your job, Rafael.
Barba: Did I?
Benson: You could always quit.
Barba: No, that leads to lawlessness. Do whatever you want as long as the defendant is sympathetic. The law says I have to prosecute.
Benson: But your heart's not in it. What are you going to do?
Barba: I don't know.
