    • Quotes

      Paige Jennings: Do our people ever use... sex to get information?

      Elizabeth Jennings: What?

      Paige Jennings: I'm reading a book about the organization, and it says that sex is one of the techniques.

      Elizabeth Jennings: There's a lot of bullshit out there, Paige.

      Paige Jennings: Doesn't sound like bullshit.

      Elizabeth Jennings: Well, they can make anything sound believable. That's what sells books.

      Paige Jennings: So that never happens?

      Elizabeth Jennings: No.

      [they walk a few steps in silence]

      Elizabeth Jennings: Look, I can't speak for every officer, but those relationships could turn into something different. You get very close to people, get to know them very well, and in certain circumstances, if the information's critical enough... people may cross lines sometimes. And then that gets twisted by whoever wrote that book.

      Paige Jennings: Have you heard stories of this happening?

      Elizabeth Jennings: I'm cut off from everyone else. I don't hear stories. Where'd you find this book?

      Paige Jennings: A used bookstore on Capitol Hill. I-I bought other books on espionage and war, so it just looks like I'm doing research. I paid with cash.

      Elizabeth Jennings: Don't ever go to the library for that sort of thing.

      Paige Jennings: Obviously.

      Elizabeth Jennings: It's easy to see things as very black and white. But the world's complicated. And the more that you get that, the better off you'll be.

    I have never wanted a protagonist killed off until now...
    Elizabeth deserves to be wasted, somehow, somewhere. She a pure, psychopathic, emotionless, evil being. What a wretched example of a human being. The lady in the robot tampering episode was prophetic. Elizabeth is a very, very, deluded, wicked person.
