• Ted Winter : Any chance she could follow?

  President's Secret Service Agent : My own men couldn't get through that door once it's closed.

  Ted Winter : Yeah, well, unfortunately, she isn't one of your men.

• Ted Winter : That's her. That's Evelyn Salt. Give me your sidearm. I'm qualified on it.

  President's Secret Service Agent : No. Sorry, only Secret Service possess firearms in the President's vicinity.

  Ted Winter : Screw protocol, Jinks. We got an enemy agent out there.

  President's Secret Service Agent : Protocol's protocol, sir.

  [Winter takes his firearm] 

  Ted Winter : And dead

  [shoots him] 

  Ted Winter : is dead.

  National Security Advisor : I'm a National Security advisor!

  [kills him; only the President is left] 

  Ted Winter : Not anymore.

  [pointing gun at President] 

  Ted Winter : Sit down.

  U.S. President Lewis : Who are you?

  Ted Winter : My name, Mr. President, is Nikolia Tarkovsky, and unless you do exactly as I say, I'm the last person you will ever see.

• Ted Winter : At least I was right. I had a feeling we'd lost you back there in North Korea. I could see how moved you were by Mike's little white-knight routine. You were supposed to recruit him, Ev, not fall in love with him. That's why I told Orlov to pick him up. By the way, how is Mike?

  Evelyn Salt : Orlov is dead.

  Ted Winter : Well, that's good news. Saved me the trouble. I had to practically twist his arm to get him blow your cover at the CIA. You see, he wanted you to come out of this alive.

  Evelyn Salt : But you needed somebody to take the blame. I'm the patsy.

  Ted Winter : And I'm the hero. Congratulations, Ev. You're about to become famous.

• Ted Winter : Look, Ev, try to stay calm.

  Evelyn Salt : I'm not a goddamn Russian spy.

  Ted Winter : I didn't say you were. Let's go to my office, we can sort this out.

  Peabody : No, no. We gotta go to a secure location. Now.

  Ted Winter : All right. Doesn't get any more secure than this. Ev? Five minutes.

  Evelyn Salt : Call Protective Services, find Mike.

  Ted Winter : I will.

  Evelyn Salt : This is bullshit.

• Ted Winter : [rattled by underling]  "Sir"? Do I look like a "sir" to you?

  Evelyn Salt : From head to toe. I'm surprised he didn't call you "Your Majesty".

  Ted Winter : I like the ring of that. I think I'd prefer "Your Majesty".

• Peabody : I'd say she's a trained goddamn liar, and everything she's said up until now has been to protect her cover.

  Ted Winter : Why don't you tell me how you really feel about it.
