Quotes 

• Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : How one gets one's information is often as important as the information one gets, Mr. Callen.

  'G' Callen : I'm just running down a tip, Hetty.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Run quickly.

• Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : You see what happens when you pull away from your team.

  'G' Callen : My team? I didn't hire Deeks, or any of them for that matter.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : No, if I left the hiring up to you, you'd be the only person working here.

  'G' Callen : You saying I don't play well with others, Hetty?

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : I'm suggesting that your default is to go it alone when you may be needing them the most. I'd like to think that I impart a certain wisdom and skillset to those who pass through those doors. The one wish I have for you, Mr. Callen, is that by the time you leave here, you've learned the art of trusting others in your personal life as well as your work.

• Arkady Kolcheck : [During a gunfight]  I'm out of bullets. And I know you have three left.

  'G' Callen : Four.

  Arkady Kolcheck : You wouldn't consider giving me one?

  'G' Callen : Sure. How much are they worth to you?

• 'G' Callen : Cut that kind of close, don't you think?

  Sam Hanna : You're like the lone wolf until you butts on the line, then you expect me to come to your rescue.

  'G' Callen : Isn't that what partners do?

  Sam Hanna : You're pushing it.

• 'G' Callen : [On his cellphone]  Nell, you don't have to whisper.

  Nell Jones : Right, well, maybe I don't have to, but I would prefer to, if that's okay with you. Not that I don't respect your authority, Agent Callen. It's just, I think it would be in my best interest not to get on Hetty's bad side.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : [Entering]  Too late dear.

• 'G' Callen : I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you with Moe.

  Sam Hanna : Yeah? That makes two of us. Three if you count Moe, but he's not feeling much of anything because he's dead. You may like working alone, but I don't! There's a reason SEALS operate in teams - it works! It protects you. It protects your partner. It protects the mission.

  'G' Callen : I know. We will get them, Sam. I am promising you that.

• Arkady Kolcheck : [Callen enters with Niko in cuffs]  I see you got my message.

  'G' Callen : You couldn't have left a note?

  Arkady Kolcheck : You couldn't have rang the buzzer?

• 'G' Callen : Don't send anybody else to my house - not unless you want to get rid of them.

  Arkady Kolcheck : We'll be in touch old friend.

• Kensi Blye : [Nell enters the boathouse]  Nell, what are you doing here? You have to call first. This is how you get yourself killed.

  Nell Jones : Well, you'd be doing me a favor.

  [Nell clears her throat. Hetty enters] 

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Well, aren't you a cozy bunch in your secret little hideout.

  'G' Callen : Hetty, what are you doing here?

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : You know *damn* well what I'm doing here, Mr. Callen. I'm shutting you down!

• 'G' Callen : Hetty, you're asking me to trust, okay? I am. I am trusting Kensi to convince Singh to either cancel or move his shipment. And I'm trusting Sam and Deeks to watch her back. But I am asking you to trust me to deal with Arkady.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Alone? You team is not here because of computer chips, Mr. Callen. They're here because of *you*.

  Sam Hanna : Last time you went off the reservation, G, without me, I lost someone I cared about.

  'G' Callen : [to Sam]  That's not gonna happen this time.

  [to Hetty] 

  'G' Callen : Trust me?
