  Raf Rousseau : I'd just like to here some more if that's okay. Just talk to me. Just tell me what happened here today.

  [Ed fires two blank rounds at Raf] 

  Gregory Parker : And you're dead.

  Mike Scarlatti : Really dead.

  Raf Rousseau : You told me he just had the nine mil.

  Gregory Parker : Yeah I got it wrong.

  Raf Rousseau : Are you serious?

• Mike Scarlatti : [Sees Raf upset after failing negotiation exercise]  Hey, chin up. That's why we do the exercises.

  Raf Rousseau : You passed it?

• Gregory Parker : [on radio]  Sam, he's not responding. Give him a nudge.

• Raf Rousseau : [regarding the hostage negotiator training he failed that morning]  I've been thinking about this morning... the exercise. I think I know the solution.

  Gregory Parker : Go on.

  Raf Rousseau : There is no solution. The failure, it's... it's built in, you know? And it ain't ever about beating the drill. It's not that. It's... It's about... It's about learning to live with the choices you've made.
