Sam: No, absolutely not.

Agent Rayner: Then Mr. Spinelli made an informed choice. He knew what he was doing.

Sam: And you threatening to prosecute him to get leverage on Jason is just plain wrong.

Agent Rayner: You need to change your attitude. All of this righteous indignation about Spinelli is a waste of time. Focus your efforts on finding a way to bring Zacchara in, or the FBI will have to go after another high-profile get, possibly someone a little closer to you.

Alexis: Is this an official interrogation, or may I join you?

Agent Rayner: We were just having a friendly conversation.

Alexis: Then that's a conversation you need to be having with me and not my daughter, since I'm her attorney, so if you speak to her again without a subpoena, I'm afraid I'm going to have to land on you so hard they'll need a cavity search to find that badge of yours. Now, that's a friendly conversation. Let's go.


Sam: What a nightmare.

Alexis: I'm very grateful that you're all right.

Sam: Yeah -- I mean, things didn't get really crazy until the end, but you know, I was so busy worrying about Spinelli and everybody else that I really didn't have a chance to worry about myself.

Alexis: I want you to know that I would have been there when you finally made it out of the building, because I was in the command trailer the whole time, but I was pulled away at the last second.

Sam: Wow. Well, I'm okay, really.

Alexis: Spinelli is very lucky to have you in his corner.

Sam: Yeah, look, Spinelli, he's in a lot of trouble.

Alexis: I know that he is, and I really would hate to see you dragged into this legal mess, because it's a federal case.

Sam: Are you kidding? Spinelli is not a threat to national security. He isn't a threat to anybody. We just have to figure out a way to get him out from underneath the FBI.

Alexis: We?

Sam: We -- I mean, there's a few of us friends that are working on this.

Alexis: I just want you to be careful.

Sam: I will, I will. Thank you for your concern.

Alexis: You know what? I'm your mother. Of course I would be concerned about you. I just wish --

Sam: Yeah? What?

Alexis: Federal judges are appointed. They're not elected. They can be very brutal. If you get convicted in a federal case, you will serve the entire sentence. There'll be no parole.

Sam: Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
