I thought we were past this. We're roomies. You've been training me hard. I've been in danger a ton of times. You love the Snack Packs I bring on missions. So why, suddenly, are you being this big jerk to me?
Oh, wait, wait , wait. Okay, Okay. You're telling me you are being a jerk because you care?
Casey
Yeah. Fat load of good it's done me too. I promised Alex I'd keep you safe. There are times on every mission when things go sideways. That happens, I can't protect you... then I broken a promise to my daughter.
I just don't understand. I just want the old Morgan back, you know?
Casey
I know it hurts honey. We Casey's don't like to open up and make ourselves vulnerable, because once someone does, rips our heart out and stomps on it in front of our eyes, it can be the worst torture of all. Just want you to know that I'm always here for you. Always will be.
This is a dream mission, Casey, and I'm not gonna let you screw it up. Do you know how many skimpy outfits I have had to put on for this team? Did you hear me complain when I had to wear a catsuit or seven inch platform high heels or a belly dancer's outfit?
What did we talk about at the restaurant? What did we talk about? Are you using this? [Draws heart shape on Casey's chest] I think you owe it to our client! Listen to her signals, what is it she's really telling you?
Casey
You think I need to be more sensitive. Be more in tune with my girlfriend's emotions. You're one to talk.
Okay, think about Alex. Do you know how happy she will be knowing you're not out there doing scary stuff?
Casey
[Considers. Grunts] All right, I'll think about it. But one thing's for sure, if we go through with this, no more Buy More. We don't need a cover. Let's kick the creepy cousin out of the family.
[about Jeff and Lester] I've worked with those guys for years. They may seem like botulism victims, but they're loyal. They can do it.
Casey
Lester, I'm gonna tell you something I never dreamed I'd tell you. Never dreamed I'd have to tell you. But the situation is extreme. This is Colonel John Casey of the National Security Agency.
Think about it, Casey. Five years. I went from pip-squeaky sidekick to this. And you, you were the most cold-blooded sniper in the whole world and now you're scrubbing our floors.
Casey
Well, if you would use a plate when you're eating taquitos, I wouldn't have to scrub the floors. would I? Do you really think I've changed?
Well, if we didn't get along, then why are you here?
Casey
[pulls out envelope ] I guess Bartowski's made us both a little soft. [puts envelope on table] Beckman's got a new job for me... but these past five years, we changed, you know? We became friends. Take care of yourself Walker.
What about Chuck and Sarah? Liability too? Right. Good. By all means lock 'em up, throw away the key. Lock away your feelings, forget everything that we've been through and you be ruthless.
Casey
You just don't understand, do you? I got soft. I lost my edge.
Your team was your edge, you giant jackass. What is wrong with you man? You want to find Quinn, you know who to call. But don't you dare try to blame this on us because you're afraid. That right, you're afraid that when you're with us, that's when you're the best. And that's the truth man!
