Detective Joss Carter : How'd you get into my office without anyone noticing?
John Reese : Trade secret. I need you to help me to find out where to buy that brand of steroid.
Detective Joss Carter : What, you looking to beef up?
John Reese : It belonged to a guy I had a run-in with last night. Skilled fighter. Looking to track down the gym where he juices up.
[Joss is quiet]
John Reese : Are you having second thoughts?
Detective Joss Carter : There's just a lot of prying eyes around this place.
John Reese : You're getting paranoid, Carter. That's a step in the right direction.

John Reese : You're good at this, Carter.
Detective Joss Carter : It's my job... and... I didn't have shoot anybody to do it!
-
Detective Joss Carter : I give you an address, and you promised me no one would get dead, and what happens?
John Reese : In my defense, Mr. Garcia didn't look both ways before crossing the street.
Detective Joss Carter : How did you know the dead guy's name? We couldn't find any ID on him.
John Reese : It was on his driver's license.
Detective Joss Carter : You stole a dead guy's wallet?

Detective Joss Carter : Threatening a parolee's life, Dominic?
Dominic Galuska : This is some kind of misunderstanding.
Detective Joss Carter : Just a little depressed, huh? You got a tough job. From what I'm seeing here, you're not very good at it. You got the worst recidivism rate in your office. Kicked more guys back inside last month than I did.
-
John Reese : Why did you contact me, Carter?
Detective Joss Carter : Got a lot of questions.
John Reese : Well, you managed to lose your tail. That's quite a feat. Those CIA boys spend a lot of time learning how to be invisible.
Detective Joss Carter : You think Snow is my only problem?
John Reese : Is there another agency following you that I'm not aware of?
Detective Joss Carter : You've got an entire NYPD task force looking for you. Had to run two lights getting here just to make sure my own people weren't trailing me. I'm a cop, which means I've got rules. Rules that can't be broken. But, um I want to know more.
John Reese : Once you go down that road there's no looking back.
Detective Joss Carter : How are you getting your information?
John Reese : All I can tell you is we hear about people in danger. Or people who are causing it.
Detective Joss Carter : Why me?
John Reese : Because your moral compass is pointed in the right direction. Because I'm tired of you chasing me.
