General Beckman quotes from Chuck

Our most valuable secrets have been sent to an idiot.

At least they weren't sent to his friend.

Chuck

When you say "reconnect" you mean send her an email or invite her to be my new Facebook friend, right?

Call her at her hotel and make a date! See if you flash on anything she says or anyone you meet.

Chuck

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, a date with my ex? No, General, that-that is a terrible idea. You see she broke my heart; she destroyed me; she took all of my confidence, my mojo!

Casey

You had mojo?

Chuck

I was on my way, oh, and by the way she slept with Bryce Larkin.

Casey

Huh. Who hasn't? [looks at Sarah]

Sarah

Look, Chuck. I know Jill hurt you, but maybe seeing her will give you the closure that you've always wanted. You have done a lot for the CIA and we're going to make you look good.

Casey

Look on the bright side, now you can get your mojo back!

Mr. Barker, I understand you were hurt protecting Agent Walker. I am told you showed great courage.

Just doing my job, General. Actually, it was Chuck who showed great courage on this mission. He was also injured.

Casey

He got clipped by a windowsill. It's as pathetic as it sounds.

Chuck

Why are you coming here?

Hopefully I won't have to shut down Operation Bartowski because of one foolish mistake. But if FULCRUM knows who you really are, pack your bags, Chuck; you're leaving with me. Tell your family and friends--tell them nothing!

Sarah

Chuck Bartowski has risked his life for this country. But he's not a spy and he knows it!

He's a spy until I say he isn't!

Sarah

General, Chuck knows that Orion is out there and he is not going to sit in his room and do what we say. He...

Casey

What is it?

Sarah

Where's Chuck?

Casey

[Casey checks the tracking device] Watch has him in his room.

Sarah

No. This is Chuck we're talking about. He would've come up with some excuse to come in here and meet the General in person.

What?

Sarah

Check his room.

Casey

Walker's right. Chuck's a social butterfly by nature.

Chuck

General, you don't want the Intersect out of my head, do you?

No, I don't.

Sarah

General, Chuck has done everything that we've asked of him.

Agent Walker, you want to protect him, but play time is over! Chuck, I hesitate to say this...

Chuck

Please, please hesitate.

We are in the midst of a secret war with FULCRUM. And I believe the outcome of this fight will rest squarely on your shoulders.

Casey

Oy.

Chuck

No. Listen to the man, he's right! I'm not a spy!

Do you know how many agents I've lost to FULCRUM? How powerful they are? Only this operation, only you have found a hole in their armor. See, I can't lose you, Chuck. I need you! It's time for you to become a spy!

Agent Walker, despite your heroism, you have directly disobeyed several orders...

Chuck

Wait, General, um, I'm sorry but, but isn't the most important part of being my handler making sure I stay alive?

Sarah

It's okay, Chuck.

Casey

No, it's not.

Casey

Let him finish.

Chuck

Thanks... Um, General. What I'm trying to say is that because my relationship with Sarah is so... you know, we're, we're close. We care about each other. That's-- that's what I'm trying to say. And-- and I know it's not protocol or whatever but it's those feelings that wound up saving my life.

Casey

Permission to drop the twerp into a deep dark hole, General?

Granted.

Casey

Huh?

It's over, the Human Intersect Project has become too hard to control. I can't afford to wonder anymore if the team or Chuck Bartowski is a liability.

Sarah

What are you saying, General?

I'm shutting down this project! Chuck's going into lockdown. He'll be taken to Washington, and put into a secure facility once-and-for-all!

Casey

Operation Moron is over?

How would you feel about working on the new Intersect project? Your government has been building its own Intersect. You've shown real promise. We'd like you to be an analyst. Your country is calling you, Mr. Bartowski.

Chuck

Uh, well then I think my country might have the wrong number. 'Cause I'm just Chuck Bartowski, not a hero.

Sarah, I need you to keep Chuck's emotions in check so the Intersect can work. He listens to you. But he's also an unstable element.

Sarah

Do you think he's dangerous?

Very. But he's worth the risk. For two years, we've protected Chuck from the world. But now we have to protect the world from Chuck.

Casey

But haven't you personally given me the order to kill that commie crackpot on three separate occasions?

And three times, you have failed to complete your orders.

Sarah

Thought you said you had a perfect record.

Chuck

Wow. This is getting entertainingly uncomfortable.

: As much as it pains me to admit, you are our only hope. [gets dragged out]

[to Morgan] Did she mean you or me?

One of our agents was killed in Milan last night while he was tracking this woman: Sofia Stepanova. [Beckman flashes photos of a scantily clad Stepanova]

Chuck

Heyo. Who do we have taking our surveillance pics? Because those are tremendous! Can you see the way...

Chuck

What? No, no, no, no, I'm just saying, clearly...is she in a bathing suit? I didn't even notice that the first time.

We can all acknowledge that Ms. Stepanova is quite...fetching.

Colonel Casey, after the Yves St. Laurent incident, you will obviously have to sit this one out.

Casey

[quietly to himself] Stab one guy with a stilleto...

Chuck

[After Morgan comes rushing to Chuck to tell about the birth of Clara] General, General, can we borrow a van?

Agent Bartowski, you just arrested Alexei Volkoff and obtained the Hydra Network we have spent the last 20 years searching for. Lieutenant, get this man a chopper.
