Benjamin Brown: Howard Schmidt

Quotes 

• Howard Schmidt : I didn't say there was anything wrong with the shooting.

  Samantha Spade : Then I guess I don't understand why I can't get back in the field.

  Howard Schmidt : You read my report.

  Samantha Spade : Uh... "While there is no evidence to suggest a breach of Bureau protocol, agent's fieldwork should be limited to allow time for continued rehabilitation." Mm-hmm. Um, what exactly am I rehabilitating, Agent Schmidt?

  Howard Schmidt : Any agent who's involved in a shooting needs time to process it, and you may need more time than others because...

  Samantha Spade : Because I got shot.

  Howard Schmidt : Yeah.

  Samantha Spade : Look, that was two months ago. One thing has nothing to do with the other. I am not trigger-happy, if that's what you're implying. I am not.

• Howard Schmidt : Agent Spade, the issue is not your injury or your conduct in the field. The issue is your frame of mind, which we are all concerned about.

  Samantha Spade : My frame of mind, Agent Schmidt, is-is-is... my frame of mind is right where it should be, given the circumstances.

  Howard Schmidt : And where is that?

  Samantha Spade : Well, thank you for seeing me, and I, uh, I should get back and watch my desk.
