Linda Hunt: Hetty Lange

Quotes 

• Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : I know that you are looking for answers, but the thing about the past, is just that. It's the past. Today is what's important. And I for one, am glad you're here.

• 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.

• '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.

• 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?
