Kenneth

Charlie: You're dying Kenneth. You're bleeding out, so you have somewhere between three to five minutes before your body shuts down and you slip into unconsciousness. Another three to five before your brain function flatlines and you stop breathing altogether. Ten minutes you'll be dead. All that talk about Jihad and death; you don't want to die, do you? It's only now, as you feel it radiating though you, swallowing you whole, that you realize how awful a thing dying really is. Before your time, before you really lived life, it's just life. Only fools rush towards death, Kenneth. Do you want to die today, like a fool, or do you want me to call an ambulance and save the life you've cast aside? Tell me now, Kenneth! Do you want to die today?!
Kenneth: No.

Lucas: I'd feel a lot better if we were armed.
Charlie: I am armed.

Charlie: With a clear and present threat to US citizens on US soil, you have every right to use whatever force you deem necessary.
POTUS: Then that is exactly what I'm going to do.

Maureen: Do you think Nick did this?
Charlie: If he did, if he killed an American during an unsanctioned op, he's never coming back from that. He'll burn either way.

Kurt: What is it you want, Victor?
Victor: Well, that's easy. I want you to tell me everything about Omar Fatah and Bellerophon.

That is a patriot in its truest sense. To see the dark side of democracy and still believe. That's a rare thing nowadays.

Constance

The location of the bomb factory came to us because Professor Ahmadi allowed us access to his private servers. We found the communication records of the American cell.

Charlie

OK. What's on your mind, CC? Anytime we're drinking in silence, you're mind is screaming.

Good doesn't have to come. I do.

Charlie

He was killed in a terrorist attack. That's what happened, and I made it out. And, now I have to deal with it. I have to deal with it everyday from now on and it sucks.
