Homeland, Season 2

Max:
Sweet hardware!

Virgil:
Yup. CIA has the best shit.

Quinn:
So, who are these guys?

Carrie:
Uhm, the same guys who've already watched Brody for 300 hours. Who are you?

Quinn:
The guy [who's] running things.

Carrie:
[surprised] Is that right?

Saul:
[resignedly] Yes. It is.

Quinn:
And I don't like surprises.

Carrie:
Err, I'm not crazy 'bout them, either.

Quinn:
[mockingly] Crazy? Interesting word. --- [shaking hands with Carrie] Peter Quinn.

Carrie:
Uh, Carrie.

Quinn:
Mathison.

Carrie:
Yes. I know.

Quinn:
I like your work.

Carrie:
[warily] Uh, Peter Quinn from where?

Quinn:
Same place as you.

Carrie:
Officer?

Quinn:
Analyst.

Saul:
Estes brought him in.

Carrie:
Ah.

Quinn:
So. Let's talk shop.

Carrie:
[unwilling to take the information for granted] What... How many years?

Quinn:
Six at Langley, four on the Venezuela desk.

Carrie:
The cartels?

Quinn:
Like that. --- Are we done with the meet and greet?

Saul:
Yes. Moving on?

Quinn:
So, we run a small team on Brody twenty four-seven. My team already hooked into the security cameras in the Rayburn building, tapping his home phone and cell. Anywhere else he goes, we have a man on him.

Virgil:
And what team is that?

Quinn:
You'll never see them.

Carrie:
Saul and I already have a plan.

Quinn:
[patronizing] Hold that thought --- Brody has a meeting this morning at the CIA, and we want to throw him a jolt. So we figured go for his Achilles heel. --- Which is you.

Carrie:
So I'm in the building. I... I run into him?

Quinn:
Let it drop you're back at the CIA. That should trigger his fear that your theory about him is now back in play. And that should send him to his handlers, where you guys... will be there with cameras.

Max:
Roger that.

Carrie:
Yeah, OK.

Quinn:
So, you want to tell us your plan now?

Carrie:
Uh, actually, it was the same.

Quinn:
The same plan?

Carrie:
Same plan. So...

Quinn:
[ironically] So... I'm only half a moron.
