Quotes

Dixon: (about the message hidden in Page 47) What about the message?
Tom: You mean the one buried in a 500 year old piece of paper? Are we really taking that seriously?
Jack: We’ve seen too much not to. (edit)
(The APO team prepares an ambush for Anna)
Sydney: Everybody’s getting set up… when you see Anna you’ll take her out with this (handing Renée a gun)
Renée: Government issue. I never thought I'd have one of these.
Sydney: Don’t get too exited, it’s only a tranq gun.
Renée: That’s too bad. (edit)
(Rachel prepares Koller for the meet with Anna)
Rachel: Everything all right?
Koller: Wonderful, considering I might get killed today. (edit)
Sydney: When are you going to start trusting me?
Renée: I trust you. It's everyone else that's the problem. (edit)
Sydney: You should think about joining APO, really.
Renée: In case you forgot, I'm a criminal.
