Poppy Montgomery: Carrie Wells

Quotes 

• Haley : Can I ask her, Granddad?

  Sen. Thomas Carlyle : You bet, Haley. You tell me everything she is fooling. Go ahead honey

  Haley : Okay, June 3rd 2003

  Carrie Wells : June 3rd 2003 was a Tuesday. George Bush landed in Egypt. The baseball player Sammy Sosa was thrown out of the game for having cork in his bat and let me guess: you were born!

  Haley : You're right! She is right! How do you do that?

  Carrie Wells : Well Haley, I have a very special gift: I remember everything.

  Al Burns : You might want to remember your job!

• [In a crowded lunchroom Al and Carrie spot the man they want to arrest] 

  Al Burns : I think a softer approach is better here

  Carrie Wells : Yeah, I complete agree

  [takes out her gun] 

  Carrie Wells : POLICE! DON'T MOVE!

• Carrie Wells : There is something you want to tell me Jay, just go ahead! What?

  Jay Lee : I don't want you to die... 'cause you still owe me that 50 bucks from fantasy football last year!

• Carrie Wells : You know, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You think I was just playing, but I had a whole master plan. And look at that, it worked. Mission accomplished.

  Al Burns : How'd you know it was her birthday?

  Carrie Wells : I'm brilliant.

• Joanne Webster : Nice work this morning. Next time I need a bodyguard, I'm calling you.

  Carrie Wells : Next time? Wha...? Was there ever a time?

  Joanne Webster : Oh, long time ago. I was teaching a seminar at Columbia, and I had the nephew of a certain Uruguayan dictator in my class...

  Carrie Wells : Ooh, did someone try to kill him?

  Joanne Webster : [laughing it off]  No! No, no, no. Nothing like that. He was absent all the time. Tanked the final. I had to give him a "D".

  Carrie Wells : So he tried to kill you?

  Joanne Webster : No, but his uncle was pretty mad.

  Carrie Wells : You probably dashed his hopes of ever going to medical school.

  Joanne Webster : [snickering]  Hardly. It was the culinary arts school. It was "The Essentials of Puff Pastry".

  Carrie Wells : Oh.

  Joanne Webster : I let him take a make-up. He made an incredible rustico lecesse. Got a B-. He's now running a four-star restaurant in Montevideo. His uncle sent me an amazing bottle of Grappamiel.

  Carrie Wells : Hmm.

  Joanne Webster : Speaking of which, you look hung over.

• Eliot Delson : Thanks for racing over, Phil. Carrie, where do you think you're going?

  Carrie Wells : To catch my murderer.

• Al Burns : You feeling all right?

  Carrie Wells : Never better.

  Al Burns : You don't look so hot.

  Carrie Wells : Oh, yeah, well, that's the crappy fluorescent lighting in here.

• Joanne Webster : Homobatrachotoxin.

  Al Burns : What?

  Joanne Webster : Extremely rare. Amazonian hunters tip their arrows in it. Our guy must have had it on the cart. I put Dr. Miller on it, and I think we've come up with an antidote.

  Carrie Wells : This is good.

  Joanne Webster : We have no idea how much of that stuff you absorbed. And the poison is so rare...

  Carrie Wells : Ooh, that's a big needle.

• Carrie Wells : How long 'til it takes to work?

  Joanne Webster : An hour, maybe two, but there really is no data on the antidote, so... you may feel worse before you feel better.

  Carrie Wells : If I wake up tomorrow, we know it worked, right?

• Al Burns : You all right?

  Carrie Wells : Uh-huh.

  Al Burns : Listen. What if, um... what if I just pulled the car out and we drove away?

  Carrie Wells : Really?

  Al Burns : Pick up a bottle of wine. Get that bread you like, with the cheese. We could head down to the water and...

  Carrie Wells : Pretend.

  Al Burns : Yeah. Maybe.

  Carrie Wells : That'd be nice.

  Al Burns : Let someone else be cops for a while.

  Carrie Wells : Oh...

  Al Burns : You've done enough. Give Jo time to find the antidote, let us all take over.

  Carrie Wells : What if she doesn't? What if she doesn't find an antidote? And anyway, when have I ever slowed down? I'm not slowing down. One of two things is gonna happen here. I'm gonna keep going, until, to quote that incredibly optimistic Dr. Miller, I either drop dead or I'm gonna solve this. I've never really been scared of anything in my... in my whole life, but this? I am scared of this. I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of losing my memory. Because without it, I...

  Al Burns : Carrie, you are so much more than your gift. Don't you know that?

• Al Burns : You're done, Kincaid.

  Carrie Wells : Who are you?

  Al Burns : Carrie. It's me, Al.

  Carrie Wells : [grinning]  Gotcha.

• Al Burns : So, they are gonna keep you overnight. Just to be sure.

  Carrie Wells : Aw! That sucks! They don't even have Jell-O.

  Al Burns : Jell-O?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. It's a long story. Well, the short version is that when I was a girl, my mom had appendicitis, they put her in the hospital, and every night they would give her these, you know, these little packages of Jell-O. And I would steal them, and I would eat them, and it basically became a lifelong craving.

  Al Burns : Mm-hmm. I never knew that about you.

  Carrie Wells : Well... some of the most sacred memories, it takes a while to reveal them even to the person you love.

  [he leans in and kisses her] 

  Carrie Wells : Wow. You know, with kisses like that, I'm really glad I didn't lose my memory. Because I will be able to play that in my head over and over.

• Al Burns : Look what I got.

  Carrie Wells : [gasping, then laughing]  No, no, where'd you get this?

  Al Burns : I told 'em I got a girl upstairs needs her Jell-O ASAP. I pulled the badge.

  Carrie Wells : You did not. Did you?

  Al Burns : I did not.

  [she laughs again] 

  Al Burns : I went across the street to the deli.

  Carrie Wells : You're very sweet, you know that?

  Al Burns : Well, I didn't want the moment to slip away.

  Carrie Wells : Moment's not going anywhere.

• Carrie Wells : My arm is killing me.

  Al Burns : That a symptom?

  Carrie Wells : No. Did you see the size of that needle?
