Quotes 

• Eric Vaughn : Saxitoxin?

  Kate Beckett : Yeah, are you familiar with it?

  Neal Morris : Well, the Vaughn Alliance partnered with a university lab to develop a next generation antidote to that entire class of neurotoxins.

  Kate Beckett : And have you had troubles with anyone associated with the lab?

  Petra Vasker : [approaching]  Cindy.

  Kate Beckett : Who's Cindy?

  Eric Vaughn : [sighs]  Cindy Paralti. She's our lead researcher.

  [pause] 

  Eric Vaughn : A few months ago, we were presenting at a conference in Singapore, we had a few drinks, and...

  Kate Beckett : And it ended badly. I get it.

  Eric Vaughn : Actually, it started badly. She expressed some deep-seated feelings for me, ones that I didn't share. So when I declined, she took it hard.

  Petra Vasker : He is being polite. She went "Fatal Attraction" for a couple of weeks.

  Kate Beckett : And you still worked with her?

  Eric Vaughn : [sighs]  She's a very talented researcher. Detective, we're all misled by our heart sometimes... It shouldn't end a career.

  Kate Beckett : It shouldn't end a life, either.
