Quotes 

• Colonel Michael Vance : You're Alec Hardison. You cracked the Pentagon servers when you were twelve. NSA has a file on you a mile long.

  Alec Hardison : Do they? What do they say about me? I hope they gave me a cool nickname.

  Colonel Michael Vance : Parker here... no file on you, which is...

  [he sees Parker is snoring] 

  Colonel Michael Vance : Is she asleep?

  Eliot Spencer : She bores easy.

• Colonel Michael Vance : Terrorists and other yahoos know what our "rules" are. They know we're big and slow, so they're running smaller, leaner, faster. It's asymmetrical warfare. It's a tactic we need to use.

  Congressman Jason Yount : Colonel Vance, thank you for your testimony.

  Colonel Michael Vance : I just do the same thing with my teams. I throw together the right team for each different threat, while the CIA is still filling out the paperwork.

  Congresswoman Caballo : The committee finds you and all your operations in violation of the inter-agency security act

  Congressman Jason Yount : And therefore illegal under federal law. You slap together another one of your little "asymmetry" teams from federal agents, Colonel Vance, you and everybody around you is out of a job and in jail. These "slow, giant" agencies you mock were designed by very smart people.

  Colonel Michael Vance : So was the Titanic.

• Colonel Michael Vance : Your 911 administrator wasn't the only hit today. The head of the largest hospital in Washington, D.C. was killed in a suspicious car wreck. The local FEMA director was knifed to death in a mugging.

  Eliot Spencer : All today?

  Alec Hardison : That's... coincidence.

  Eliot Spencer : No. It's what you do when you want to cripple the infrastructure of a city the day of a terrorist attack. Somebody's gonna hit D.C. with something big... today.
