• [Christopher Maly jumps through the window, killing himself. Dembe runs over to look, then walks away] 

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : [Nonchalantly]  Okay then.

  [Walks over to window and looks down] 

  Elizabeth Keen : What now?

  [Red grabs his coat] 

  Elizabeth Keen : What are you doing?

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Putting on my coat.

  Elizabeth Keen : A man just jumped through the window, there's a body on the sidewalk.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Yes, and your husband, the police and all the king's men will be here soon. If you care to stick around and explain, feel free. I for one will not be in attendance.

  [Keen grabs coat and heads for the door] 

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Dembe, I'll get her downstairs. After you're finished, grab the pretzels.

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : And if it doesn't work out with Fadila, I know a ravishing Dane who would adore you. She's slightly cross-eyed, and there's something very hypnotic about her gaze.

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Looks like we're a little late to the party. You must be the brother-in-law.

  Elizabeth Keen : Ressler called. I have to step out. He isn't cooperating.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Oh Hell, Dembe, get the hacksaw. We're gonna have to take him out of here in pieces.

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Several years ago, it came to my attention that somebody was meddling in my business. To protect myself and my interests I inventoried my vulnerabilities.

  Elizabeth Keen : Me.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Among others. Lizzy, I've been monitoring Tom since he entered your life. About a year ago, I discovered that he had purchased three passports from a trusted forger I use in Warsaw.

  Elizabeth Keen : That's it? He bought passports. My husband chose me, he inserted himself into my life because of you.

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : I can only assume that's the case.

  Elizabeth Keen : Why? How are we connected?

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : That is just a distraction.

  Elizabeth Keen : No! That is all that matters! This is my life! Tell me!

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Right now, the only thing that matters is the immediate threat, your husband, finding out who he is and whom he works for. The rest will come. I promise you.

• Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Terrifying. You know this artist got his start with puppets? What is it about puppets? It's the same with clowns. I'll never forget a puppet show I saw when I was five, maybe six: Hansel and Grettle.

  Christopher Maly/Craig Keen : Why are we here?

  Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Scared me to death. But it wasn't the witch, it was the oven. Imagine, an oven puppet. Ooh. I don't think I set foot in our kitchen for a month.
