Quotes
-
William Bishop : You don't like me, do you?
[Mel shakes her head]
William Bishop : Yeah. Well, what I'm about to tell you isn't gonna change that. I've done everything I can think of, and I can't get him out. But there is a path if he would choose it.
Melody 'Mel' Bayani : You want him to go back to Military Intelligence?
William Bishop : I am confident that if he would do that...
Melody 'Mel' Bayani : He won't.
William Bishop : Then convince him.
Melody 'Mel' Bayani : To be someone he's not? To go against every fiber of his moral being because it's convenient?
William Bishop : Mel, this is his last shot. All this martyrdom stuff, "values his soul over his freedom." I don't even know what that means. It's foolish.
Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Don't. It's not foolish. Not to him. It's who he is. It's the reason why he took the risk to help you in the first place. It's why I love him.
William Bishop : Well, I wish I could help him, but I can't. I'm sorry.
Melody 'Mel' Bayani : Yeah. Me, too.

Robyn McCall : [Harry is released from prison] So, I heard it was the president who intervened. Bish, you didn't. You made the call? Your golden ticket?
William Bishop : My one and only "get out of jail free" card.
Robyn McCall : You did that for Harry?
William Bishop : No, I did that for you.
Robyn McCall : Thank you.
William Bishop : Well, don't get too excited. There are conditions. Harry can never touch a computer again.
Robyn McCall : [scoffing chuckle] You can't be serious.
William Bishop : It was the one condition of his release.
Robyn McCall : That'll never stand. You know that, right?
William Bishop : He so much as checks his bank account online, he's back in Leavenworth.
Robyn McCall : Still, I can't believe you did that.
William Bishop : Yeah, well, don't tell him about it. I don't want him to think I'm going soft.
Robyn McCall : [teasing] Going?
