Alex Blake:
You don't want to know.

John Curtis:
Reverse psychology. I'm not going to beg for your analysis.

Alex Blake:
You don't have to beg. I already know how desperate you are for it.

John Curtis:
I didn't remember you being so skittish.

Alex Blake:
No, you've never seen me in chains before.

John Curtis:
I've seen you with your hands tied, so to speak. Erin Strauss and the Bureau discarded us. We were the forgotten ones

Alex Blake:
They forgot you. I did all right.

John Curtis:
But they'll remember me now. You know, I admired you back then, leading the charge on the day it all changed, the day Erin Strauss ruined us. I sat next to you. Borrowed your pen to sign my transfer. They put me in Kansas. Me. You know what I've been wondering? Why did Strauss change her mind about you?

Alex Blake:
I kept my head down and I worked hard.

John Curtis:
We all did. But you got my chance.
