- Chuck Bartowski: But it's - it's Christmas. Look, I'm not buying the whole Scrooge act. Underneath that spy cover is a regular person, just like the rest of us. I mean honestly, how weird could Christmas have been for you?
- Sarah Walker: Christmas at the Burton household meant the annual Salvation Army con job.
- Chuck Bartowski: Okay, you're a little different than the rest of us.
- John Casey: [to Chuck] You owe me a toe, Bartowski!
- Ellie Bartowski: You're going to be okay, John. A lot of people get by with nine toes.
- Jeff Barnes: I'm getting by fine with eight.
- John Casey: [to Chuck] You know, I survived three wars without so much as losing a fingernail before I met you, Bartowski!
- Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb: I know you guys work at Buy More, but I'm a doctor, okay? I take risks every day. This is a matter of life or death. Someone needs to man up and take action. Someone needs to be a hero.
- Ellie Bartowski: No, they don't, Devon. Being a hero is being alive to take care of friends and family.
- Chuck Bartowski: Actually, um... I have something for you. I was gonna give it to you tomorrow, but considering the circumstances I kind of want to give it to you today.
- Sarah Walker: Chuck, we're gonna get out of here. We'll be fine, I...
- [Chuck pulls out a bracelet]
- Sarah Walker: promise. Wow. It's beautiful.
- Chuck Bartowski: It's good luck. It was my mom's Charm Bracelet. My dad gave it to her when Ellie was born.
- [Chuck puts it on Sarah's wrist]
- Sarah Walker: Oh Chuck, I can't take this. This something *real*. Something you should give to a real girlfriend.
- Chuck Bartowski: ...I know.
- Nathan 'Ned' Rhyerson: Chuck, you've been such a good friend to me, so I'm going to return the favor. I'm going to let your girlfriend go.
- Chuck Bartowski: No!
- Ellie Bartowski: Chuck?
- Jeff Barnes: Ouch!
- Lester Patel: Yikes! It'll be a cold Christmas a the Bartowskis.
- Buy More employee: Oh no he didn't!
- Nathan 'Ned' Rhyerson: Could someone please tell me who's in charge here?
- Anna Wu, Lester Patel, Jeff Barnes: [pointing] Chuck!
- Chuck Bartowski: Actually, I'm not technically in charge.
- John Casey: [Entering the Castle Control Room] What's going on?
- [Sarah indicates the screen]
- John Casey: Great, I step out of work one time, I miss all the fun.
- Chuck Bartowski: I understand there are rules, but when it comes to family and friends, there's a time to break them!
- John Casey: Get in the hatch, Bartowski!
- Sarah Walker: Chuck, you're letting your emotions cloud your judgment. I *promise* nothing bad will happen to them, now please come on.
- Chuck Bartowski: I can't take that chance!
- Sarah Walker: [as she's leaving Buy More] Chuck it's okay.
- [Hugs Chuck. Quietly in his ear]
- Sarah Walker: Trust me. I'll never let anyone hurt you.
- Chuck Bartowski: What do you want?
- Mauser: I want to know where Bryce Larkin and the Intersect are. And if I think you're lying even a little bit, your sister dies... Where is Bryce Larkin?
- Chuck Bartowski: ...I don't know.
- Mauser: Then I'm really sorry.
- Chuck Bartowski: But I know where the Intersect is.
- Mauser: Where?
- Chuck Bartowski: [long pause. Points to his own head] It's right here.
- Chuck Bartowski: They're letting me go.
- Ellie Bartowski: Oh, thank God!
- [Hugs Chuck]
- Chuck Bartowski: Goodbye Ellie. You know how much I love you, right?
- Ellie Bartowski: Hey! Cheer up. It'll be okay. You're acting like you're never gonna see me again.
- Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb: See ya in a bit, Chuck.
- [Hugs Chuck]
- Chuck Bartowski: [Quietly in Devon's ear] Listen there's a time to be brave and a time to be timid. This is a time to be brave, do it!
- Mauser: You may have beat me, Agent Walker. But FULCRUM's won. I know that Chuck Bartowski's the Intersect.
- Sarah Walker: Chuck's secret is safe! And you're going straight to a CIA detention facility never to be seen or heard from again!
- Mauser: You go right ahead, Agent Walker. Arrest me. But say goodbye to Chuck. You see, I'm not like those other FULCRUM agents. They'll do whatever it takes to find me. And when they do, every FULCRUM agent we have will know Chuck's the Intersect. It's going to be the end of his pathetic existence. So take me in, Agent Walker.
- [pause. Sarah lowers her weapon. Long pause. Sarah shoots Mauser]
- Ellie Bartowski: Great, so uh, my present to my fiancée is a ticket to death.
- Devon 'Captain Awesome' Woodcomb: Babe, it's completely safe. Besides, I need the adrenaline rush, a little sense of danger in my life.
- Ellie Bartowski: [Ellie scoffs] What?
- Sarah Walker: General, if we go in there guns blazing, Chuck's cover will be blown. The guy seems pretty timid, not someone the LAPD couldn't handle.
- General Diane Beckman: What are you saying, Agent Walker?
- Sarah Walker: I'm saying that Chuck has family and friends in there, and if we blow Chuck's cover then not only will he have to go underground, but so will everyone else.
- General Diane Beckman: We'll try it Agent Walker's way first.
