Virgil quotes from Homeland

Carrie

"[After Saul sends a team of agents to contain her]" Virgil, am I crazy?

Virgil

Look, you know you are.

Virgil

Well, well, well. Carrie Mathison was right about the red-headed menace.

Carrie

It only took a year for people to believe me.

Max

I believed you. Right from the start.

Carrie

Thank you, Max.

Max

Of course - no one ever asked me.

Virgil

Brody spoke to four people on Capitol Hill, and 12 more at the Virginia Businessmen's Reception.

Max

Plus a guy at a newsstand on K Street.

Carrie

They all go up.

Carrie

How come I've never heard of this guy?

Virgil

Who, Quinn?

Carrie

He was on the floor like me, six years? I never met him.

Virgil

That's because you were in the Middle East!

Carrie

I don't know. Look into him, would you?

Virgil

Oh, sure, I'm not busy.

Carrie

Virgil, just check him out. - Please.

Max

Sweet hardware!

Virgil

Yup. CIA has the best shit.

Quinn

So, who are these guys?

Carrie

Uhm, the same guys who've already watched Brody for 300 hours. Who are you?

Quinn

The guy [who's] running things.

Carrie

[surprised] Is that right?

Saul

[resignedly] Yes. It is.

Quinn

And I don't like surprises.

Carrie

Err, I'm not crazy 'bout them, either.

Quinn

[mockingly] Crazy? Interesting word. --- [shaking hands with Carrie] Peter Quinn.

Carrie

Uh, Carrie.

Quinn

Mathison.

Carrie

Yes. I know.

Quinn

I like your work.

Carrie

[warily] Uh, Peter Quinn from where?

Quinn

Same place as you.

Carrie

Officer?

Quinn

Analyst.

Saul

Estes brought him in.

Carrie

Ah.

Quinn

So. Let's talk shop.

Carrie

[unwilling to take the information for granted] What... How many years?

Quinn

Six at Langley, four on the Venezuela desk.

Carrie

The cartels?

Quinn

Like that. --- Are we done with the meet and greet?

Saul

Yes. Moving on?

Quinn

So, we run a small team on Brody twenty four-seven. My team already hooked into the security cameras in the Rayburn building, tapping his home phone and cell. Anywhere else he goes, we have a man on him.

Virgil

And what team is that?

Quinn

You'll never see them.

Carrie

Saul and I already have a plan.

Quinn

[patronizing] Hold that thought --- Brody has a meeting this morning at the CIA, and we want to throw him a jolt. So we figured go for his Achilles heel. --- Which is you.

Carrie

So I'm in the building. I... I run into him?

Quinn

Let it drop you're back at the CIA. That should trigger his fear that your theory about him is now back in play. And that should send him to his handlers, where you guys... will be there with cameras.

Max

Roger that.

Carrie

Yeah, OK.

Quinn

So, you want to tell us your plan now?

Carrie

Uh, actually, it was the same.

Quinn

The same plan?

Carrie

Same plan. So...

Quinn

[ironically] So... I'm only half a moron.
