Quotes 

• Maria Bergen : Is now when I need to call a lawyer?

  Wes Mitchell : Normally, yeah. But my partner and I realize your situation is a unique one.

  Travis Marks : He's saying that we feel sorry for you.

• Travis Marks : You owe me 20.

  Wes Mitchell : No, we never agreed on terms.

• Dr. Elise Ryan : This is a safe place to say anything no matter how awkward. Now that you and Dakota are trying for a baby, sex isn't just about pleasure anymore. You know yu get into bed and suddenly it's the final over of the last innings and you've got one bowl left and you've got to hit it for a six... Cricket?... British baseball?...

  Wes Mitchell : I think she's saying it's the bottom of th ninth, you've got two outs and you know... you haveta... hit the homerun.

• Travis Marks : Bet you didn't know that you were being chased by a high school state championship long jumper? Did ya?

  Wes Mitchell : You know, I'm starting to question that whole story myself. I jumped as far as you did. I got big boy shoe on.

• Dr. Elise Ryan : Guys? Ever wilted under pressure?

  Wes Mitchell : No.

  Travis Marks : No.

• Wes Mitchell : I'm tired of that thing hovering over my head. It's distracting.

• Wes Mitchell : Do they look like criminal masterminds to you?

• Wes Mitchell : What the hell just happened?

  Travis Marks : You want to know what just happened? It's just like Dr. Ryan said... two outs, bottom of the ninth and you got that performance anxiety.

• Wes Mitchell : I was not unable to perform. I'm Dakota in this situation here. If anyone's Dakota here, in Travis's little analogy, it's me.

• Wes Mitchell : Look, we always blame each other, and we never communicate unless we have to; that's how we work. It's never been a problem.

• Wes Mitchell : Well, I've kind of been staying here for a little over a year now.

  Carine Thompson : Shut up. You live here?

• Carine Thompson : I-I travel constantly for work and sometimes it feels like I live in hotels... But I've never met a literal hotel dweller.

  Wes Mitchell : We're rarely seen in nature.

  Carine Thompson : Well, I'm glad I caught you in your watering hole.

• Travis Marks : As partners go, she leaves a lot to be desired. She's kind of like you, actually.

  Wes Mitchell : Maybe she's not a partner at all.

• Captain Mike Sutton : I told her I thought you two were the classic Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton kind of relationship.

  Travis Marks : The old movie stars?

  Captain Mike Sutton : Yeah. They had an affair that was roiled with passion. Truth is they hated each other most of the time... They couldn't keep their hands off each other, though. Like you two - you fight, you fight and you fight, but bam, you make a collar, there's relief. There's pleasure, a little afterglow. And then the cycle renews again.

  Travis Marks : [Wes clears throat]  Thanks, Cap. The question: Which one of us is Liz Taylor?

  Wes Mitchell : Okay, no, no, that... Please don't.

• Wes Mitchell : We're on the same page here. Right? Straight up. Smash and grab.

  Travis Marks : We don't split up, we can't screw up, Baby.

• Wes Mitchell : Jim Bergen is dying. He's got no money. He takes his wife to L.A. with a gun loaded full of blanks. He built her up a nest egg while they cross off items on their bucket list of theirs. It's like... every place they rob...

  Travis Marks : ...is just like a stop on their itinerary.

• Wes Mitchell : Don't do that cop talk.

• Travis Marks : You crashed and burned on your date.

  Wes Mitchell : God damn it.

• Wes Mitchell : Surprised, because maybe I, you know, deep in the back of my mind, I've been wondering if I didn't go to the wrong side of the hotel myself.

• Wes Mitchell : That wasn't performance anxiety, that was compassion.
