Mary Elizabeth Bartowski quotes from Chuck

Mary

[saving Chuck and Sarah from Volkoff's assassins] Come with me if you want to live.

Mary

[toasting Chuck and Sarah] Many of you might not know me, but i'm Chuck's and Ellie's mom. Truth be told.... I was gone for a long time. Now that I am back in their lives, I sometimes overcompensate. But lucky for me, my soon-to-be daughter-in-law is very forgiving. She's never heard me say it but Sarah is one of the strongest and one of the most amazing women that I have ever met. So I would like to propose this toast to her. Sarah, thank you for taking care of my Chuck. May you have many more adventures together, and may you always keep each other safe.

Sarah

Is this the part where I'm supposed to ask you what you're thinking about?

Chuck

My mom. I thought she was a prisoner that needed to be saved, and...then I come to find out she's just one of the bad guys.

Sarah

Chuck, we don't know what side your mom is on.

Chuck

Maybe not. But there's one thing I do know. In order to find the one person who...left me, I've endangered the lives of everyone who would never leave me. Morgan, Casey, you. I'm gonna stop looking for my mom.

Sarah

No. Chuck...

Chuck

No, it's okay. I thought I had to bring my family back together, but I don't. You guys, Awesome, Ellie, you're my family. I love you.

Sarah

I love you. I'll see you inside.

Chuck

Yeah.

Chuck

Hello.

Mary

Hello, Chuck. It's your mother.

Mary

[Sarah and Mary have their guns pointed at each other] You brought someone. I told you to come alone.

Chuck

No, no,no, no. Technically not just someone, my girlfriend - Sarah. Sarah this is my mom - Mary. I don't know how to say this exactly, but please don't kill each other.

Mary

Charles is my son.

Volkoff

[pointing a gun at Chuck's head] Really?

Mary

Really.

Volkoff

[to Sarah] Really?

Sarah

Really.

Volkoff

[to Chuck] Really?

Chuck

Really!

Mary

We've had a our dinner, you met the family, we're leaving.

Volkoff

But what sort of potential father-in-law would I be if I didn't set an example. Chuck has to learn... you make a threat you have to follow through with it. [Volkoff cocks pistol] I didn't have to do that but I just really like the sound.

Mary

Alexei stop. [points her gun at Volkoff]

Volkoff

My love, what are you doing?

Mary

This is exactly why I didn't tell you about my family. You don't know how to love someone, you only know how to control them. But you should know that I could never love a man that could do anything to hurt my son. So drop it. [Volkoff lowers gun]

Mary

Alexei, you know I am loyal to you. But I will not return with you until you promise me that my family and their friends remain safe. And if they don't, I will end you.

Volkoff

You see. That is a real threat.[Volkoff walks away]

Mary

Chuck. I'm sorry for everything. I hope some day you will trust me.

Chuck

Mom... I already do.

Mary

[to Hartley] You and Chuck need to break into Volkoff Industries. There'll be lots of security there, so you'll have to go as your old self.

[his true identity having been restored] Of course, as Volkoff.

Mary

Yes, but he's not you. He's a mean, dictatorial, conniving...

Chuck

...manipulative, amoral...

Casey

...limey with relatively good teeth.

Sounds like I was a monster.

You were.
