Quotes 

• Joan Campbell : Annie? Annie.

  Annie Walker : I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.

  Joan Campbell : What are you working on at this hour?

  Annie Walker : Oh. I was just... uhm, I had some free time, so I was looking through the classifieds in some of the European papers. See if I could find some workable patterns.

  Joan Campbell : We have a room full of computers dedicated to finding workable patterns.

  Annie Walker : [smiles]  Yeah, but, you never know, they might have missed something.

  Joan Campbell : You know, it can be pretty overwhelming, your first few months off the Farm. Maybe you should take a few days off. Clear your head.

  Annie Walker : This is about the dings I got, isn't it? Looking into Ben Mercer and the access denieds. But, really, I'm over that, Joan. All of it.

  Joan Campbell : Wanna talk about the note?

  Annie Walker : What note?

  Joan Campbell : The note that our tech division spent six man-hours analyzing this week.

  Annie Walker : [sighs, takes it out of her desk drawer]  Ben Mercer left me that in Sri Lanka in lieu of saying goodbye.

  [the note reads: The truth is complicated. Forgive me] 

  Annie Walker : I can tell you a lot about it.

  [slight giggle] 

  Annie Walker : The paper is 0.09 millimeters thick. It is made out of ground wood pulp and manufactured in Andhra Pradesh. And handwriting tells me that the strong t-bars and horizontal pressure indicate perseverance, even stubbornness. The only thing I can't tell you about that note... is what the hell it means.

  Joan Campbell : Sometimes, we have to accept that, and move on.

  Annie Walker : You're probably right.

  [nods] 

  Annie Walker : A few days off is probably a good idea.

• Danielle Brooks : [as Annie looks out over Niagra Falls]  So, was I right, or was I right?

  Annie Walker : You were right. It's spectacular.

  Danielle Brooks : I can't believe you haven't seen them before. Michael and I didn't have a view like this last time. We were over there, on the US side, in a dumpy little motel. Maybe we'll find a nice, single guy for you up here.

  Annie Walker : Oh, yeah, because Niagara is where all the well-adjusted single men go to meet available women.

  [giggles] 

  Danielle Brooks : How about the bellhop? He was kinda cute.

  [as Annie laughs:] 

  Danielle Brooks : You can't hold on to Sri Lanka forever, Annie.

  [shakes head] 

  Danielle Brooks : Someday, you are gonna realize that.

  [gets up] 

  Danielle Brooks : I am gonna hop into the shower. Order us up some spa treatments while I'm in there, would you?

• Danielle Brooks : [agitated, to the bearded guy behind the steering wheel of her car]  Put the fruit roll-up down! You have five seconds to get the hell out of my car, or I'm calling the police! Five, four,

  [tries to look threatening] 

  Danielle Brooks : three...

  Annie Walker : [running up to intercept]  Danielle! Hold on! Hold on a second!

  Danielle Brooks : Oh, my gosh! Thank God you came! I found this guy trying to steal my car!

  [to Yahya:] 

  Danielle Brooks : What are you, the valet? Is this what you do for kicks? Joyride around, foraging for snacks?

  Johnny Rahimi : [from car]  What's a valet?

  Annie Walker : It's okay, he's... he's with me.

  Danielle Brooks : What?

  Annie Walker : [to Yahya]  It's okay, you can come out.

• Auggie Anderson : [on phone]  Annie, do you have access to a scanner?

  Annie Walker : Auggie, I'm on vacation, I don't have access to a toaster oven.

  Auggie Anderson : [grimaces]  You call that a vacation?

• Jai Wilcox : [re Yahya]  Hey, Annie, are you sure this guy isn't playing you?

  Annie Walker : [frowns]  About what?

  Jai Wilcox : Who he is, what he wants. Can we definitively rule him out being a plant?

  Annie Walker : Jai, if this guy is a plant, the world has been seriously underestimating Iran's sense of humor.
