Covert Affairs, Season 2

Auggie:
Your presence has been requested immediately.

Annie:
What...now?

Auggie:
Well, however you want to interpret the words "requested" and "immediately."

Eyal:
Remember, I'm the guy who cooked for you. How many men do you have cooking for you, huh?

Annie:
Actually --

Eyal:
Cook organically!

Annie:
You lied to me yesterday. Why should I believe you now or ever?

Eyal:
It's Thursday. I don't lie on Thursdays.

Annie:
So you said medical school? Did you finish?

Eyal:
No.

Annie:
What happened?

Eyal:
In 2002 my family needed me and so I took a leave of absence. Never went back.

Annie:
Doctor Lavin has a nice ring to it.

Eyal:
You're my mother.

Annie:
Did you ever think of going back?

Eyal:
No. It's different in Israel. Our ambitions are about life, living well, not our careers.

Annie:
What about having both?

Eyal:
See, that's very American. Life takes you where it takes you. You can only do so much, sometimes none at all. History taught us that.

Annie:
Don't fight the current? Is that it?

Eyal:
Or swim with it. Instead of fighting, live your life. The current may know something you don't.

Joan:
[to Jai] You are either personally undermining me or your promotion has affected your better judgement, if such a thing ever existed. In the future, if you have anything to say to me, you will hold your tongue and speak to me privately. Or better yet, keep it to yourself.

Eyal:
Why are you here, Annie Walker?

Annie:
This is a suicide mission. Don't do it. It's not what your sister would want.

Eyal:
[chuckles] Oh, you didn't know my sister. This is exactly what she would have wanted. See, we know this is when you fight the current.
