Dodger:
[Dodger is going through Cat's carry-on bag]

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
[throws aside a camera flash bulb] No flash.

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
Wait a minute. That's mine. [Dodger stops her from retrieving the bulb]

Dodger:
New one's cheaper than a body bag. [Dodger continues going through Cat's carry-on bag throwing stuff out]

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
Stop it! That is my personal property!

Dodger:
You're not going to a party on Park Avenue, lady.

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
I know what I'm doing.

Dodger:
[Dodger throws Cat a M-16 assault rifle] You know how to handle this? Clean it, Load it, Use it? How about this? [shows Cat a knife] You know how to spot a land mine? A punji pit? A Bouncing Betty?

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
Well like I said, you're the man that's going to teach me. [throws Dodger back his M-16 rifle] I learn fast.

Dodger:

He passes you a signal, you pass it back. You do anything to get my people hurt or to slow us up. [Dodger and Cat stare at each other]

Dodger:
[Dodger removes a pack of cigarettes from Cat's shirt pocket] Bad for your health. VC can smell 'em a mile away.

Dodger:
[Dodger reaches to check if Cat has dog tags] You got tags?

Photojournalist Cat Von Seeger:
[Cat grabs Dodgers wrist] I said I was ready. [shows dog tags] I am.

Dodger:
Get some ashes from that cook fire on the way out. Knock down that shine. [strokes Cats left cheek]

Dodger:
You too, Beckett.

Dodger:
[Cat is fixing her hair. There is a red bow in it] Charlie loves red.
