Annie Walker quotes from Covert Affairs

Annie

The guy does demo.

Eyal

That's probably where Cole got his explosives.

Annie

You take the front door and I'll take the back.

Eyal

If you're so eager to get shot, why don't you take the front door?

Annie

We're two highly trained intelligence operatives. You don't think we can get the drop on a contractor with an NRA card?

Eyal

You want to tell me what just happened here? What's going on with you?

Annie

Rivka's at Langley. She says you've gone rogue. That you doctored the photos of al Masri, not Mossad. You.

Eyal

Wait a minute. Rivka's at Langley?

Annie

You wouldn't do that, would you?

Eyal

You mean she's there right now?

Annie

I'm telling you she just left Joan's office. Eyal, tell me that's not true!

Eyal

I'm sorry, Annie. It's true.

Annie

You're lying.

Eyal

Annie, I did it.

Annie

Mossad got caught pulling a fast one on the CIA and now you're taking one for the team to smooth things over. You're sacrificing yourself to protect them!

Eyal

You're wrong. I acted on my own.

Annie

Was there no other way to achieve what you wanted than by using me like this? I trusted you.

Eyal

I told you a long time ago that there's no such thing as trust among spies, but you don't seem to get it. You know this thing you keep doing, looking for the good in people? Not only does it make you weak, it makes you a target, and an easy one at that.

Annie

Maybe you're right: maybe I'm naive, maybe I need to grow a thicker skin. I'm still having trouble believing you would give me doctored photos knowing what would happen, given all we've been through.

Eyal

What are you saying, Annie?

Annie

I'm saying I'm giving you one last chance to save our friendship.

Eyal

There's nothing I can say.

Annie

So much for being polite. What happened?

Eyal

I didn't have time to be polite. We need to get that money so we can pay off that club manager.

Annie

I'm not talking about your methods. You didn't want him to call Tel Aviv. Are you on the outs with Rivka? Did you get suspended?

Eyal

I quit Mossad.

Annie

You quit Mossad? [sigh] I knew it! I knew they would make you take the fall for them.

Eyal

Don't read too much into it. I wanted to hunt Khalid down and kill him, they had already completed their mission. Let's just call it creative differences.

Annie

Eyal.

Eyal

It was time anyway.

Annie

Eyal, I'm sorry. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you.

Eyal

His guys must have clocked us and had Megan killed.

Annie

She was in love. She was never going to listen to me.

Eyal

It wasn't your fault.

Annie

I know that. She had a chance to get herself out; more than one. She refused my help. There's nothing I can do about that. What?

Eyal

Nothing. I agree with everything you said, it's just I've never heard you talk like this before.

Annie

Yeah, well I didn't feel like this before, but I've learned a lot since the last time we were here. Not everybody can be saved. That's not my job.

Eyal

Please tell me you didn't take everything I said back in West Virginia to heart. Your empathy is one of your greatest talents. Never lose it. You never know when you might need it.

Auggie

We're talking about handing over agency assets. How many names are on that list? How many lives are we trading for one man?

Annie

Three assets in Riyadh, one in Dubai, but they're both collecting intel on OPEC, not the Ansari family.

Auggie

That designation doesn't mean anything.

Annie

Can't we get them off the board before Khalid gets to them?

Auggie

Yes, but the lives of those assets will be irrevocably changed.

Annie

I know. I pulled everything I could on the Ansari family looking for a way around this. I can't think of another plan. I don't want to give over those names, either, but somebody has to do something! Eyal needs my help, and I can't do nothing.

Auggie

Is this about Russia?

Annie

And Paris, and Zurich, and West Virginia. It's about all of it.

Auggie

You once told me you didn't have feelings for him. Is that not true? Is that what's driving this?

Annie

Why do you keep asking me that?

You'll never get away with this.

Annie

Get away with what? You have no idea what I want. This is not a negotiation. You no longer have leverage. When I say something, you do it or I shoot you. Is that clear?

Yes.

Annie

Killing you would be the easiest thing in the world right now, but it won't solve anything.

Annie

Why Athens?

Eyal

I've got a 40 foot Mariner in Piraeus with my name on it. No, seriously. It's called The Flying Lavin.

Annie

You're dyed in the wool Mossad. Are you sure you're going to be happy just sitting around in a boat all day?

Eyal

Sitting? It's called sailing. I don't know. Much of Jewish mysticism revolves around numbers: the five knots in a tzitzit, the ten Sephirot, the four species of Sukkot; but we only get one life. I want to make the best of it.

Annie

Why do I always feel like there's something behind what you're telling me?

Eyal

[smiles] Why don't you join me and find out?

Annie

The last time a guy asked me to run away with him, it didn't work out that well. Besides, I need to get home, put down some roots.

Eyal

For now. Timing is everything neshema, but one day you and I will be sitting somewhere, looking at a sunset, thinking of nothing at all. Maybe not this boat in Greece, but one day, and that will be lovely evening.

Annie

I hope so. Goodbye, Eyal.

Eyal

I'm not good with goodbyes, and I never get to say it. Thank you, Annie. Good luck.

Yes, I know this is macabre, but I wanted to see this place for myself. Please have a seat. Thank you for coming. I know this couldn't be easy.

Annie

It isn't. Everything in here is exactly as it was before.

Life has a funny way of continuing on, no matter what we do. I know Jai didn't paint the rosiest picture of me, but I'm here to try and make things right.

Annie

Mr. Wilcox, you and I only ever met once. I never felt we had any personal issue.

This is about Arthur and Joan Campbell.

Annie

I've never had any personal issues with them, either.

Let me ask you something: why didn't you kill Khalid in Amsterdam? Yes, I know about Khalid. Just assume I know everything.

Annie

I gave Khalid all the information he needs to kill his father or force his father to kill him. Either way, we have a piece of the game board and cause havoc in their ranks. It can't be traced back to the Agency.

Excellent spycraft, Ms. Walker.

Annie

My experience with Lena taught me a few things.
