Liane Balaban: Natasha Petrovna

Quotes 

• Natasha Petrovna : You're home.

  Auggie Anderson : Yeah, I'm home.

  Natasha Petrovna : I thought you were with that other girl.

  Auggie Anderson : I have to go. Where were you?

  Natasha Petrovna : Did you sleep with her?

  Auggie Anderson : Tash, I told you. I'm trying to do damage control. She's a threat to people at the Agency. She could have you thrown in jail if she found out about you. Where were you just now?

  Natasha Petrovna : We ran out of coffee. And I'm sick of using your shampoo. I don't wanna smell like a pine tree.

  Auggie Anderson : [with his head down:]  You don't want to smell like a pine tree.

  [nods] 

  Auggie Anderson : Tash, I can pick things up for you. But you know how dangerous it is for you to be outside. What if someone spotted you?

  Natasha Petrovna : I only went two blocks, and I planned my whole route. I know how to avoid security cameras.

  Auggie Anderson : It's an unnecessary risk. Look, I just don't wanna lose you again. That's it.

  Natasha Petrovna : Then, maybe you should try a little harder to keep me around.

  Auggie Anderson : We will find a way to get your immunity. I promise. But right now, I... I have to get to work.

  Natasha Petrovna : [scoffs]  You're never off the clock, are you?

  Auggie Anderson : I'll be back before you know it.

• Natasha Petrovna : I'm leaving, Auggie.

  Auggie Anderson : [scoffs]  You're leaving? Why?

  Natasha Petrovna : You know why.

  Auggie Anderson : Because of Hayley? Because that's not real, Tash.

  Natasha Petrovna : Yeah, well, it looked pretty real to me. I hacked into the traffic cameras outside the restaurant where you had your date the other day. She's pretty. In a Type A bureaucrat kind of way.

  Auggie Anderson : Why did you do that?

  Natasha Petrovna : I had to see for myself. I wanted to be with you, Auggie, but not like this.

  Auggie Anderson : This... This is temporary. It's stressful because you're stuck inside. But we'll figure out a way to make it work.

  Natasha Petrovna : Fine. Then come with me right now, and let's make this work someplace else.

  [Auggie sighs] 

  Natasha Petrovna : You don't even have to jump off a train this time, you just have to walk away.

  Auggie Anderson : Tash, I can't just walk away.

  [shakes his head] 

  Auggie Anderson : Not now.

  Natasha Petrovna : Not now, not then, not ever.

  [shakes her head] 

  Natasha Petrovna : There's always something more important than me.

  Auggie Anderson : No!

  Natasha Petrovna : Goodbye, Auggie.

  [walks off] 

  Auggie Anderson : No, wait, please, hey...! Come on. Look, it's not that simple. It's not.

  Natasha Petrovna : [gives him farewell kiss...]  I'm sorry, but I have to go.

  [... which Hayley sees] 

  Auggie Anderson : Tash?

  [but she's down the street already... and Hayley tosses the takeaway meal she had brought into the trash bin]
