• Detective Joss Carter : I got bored sitting in the car. And it took you longer than four minutes.

  John Reese : It's not your fault. You were at the wrong place at the wrong time.

  John Reese : Someone found me, told me I needed a purpose.

  Sofia Campos : Sounds like a good friend.

  John Reese : He is.

  John Reese : [Watching]  Sofia's bodyguard didn't clear the store before she went inside.
