Quotes 

• Derek Morgan : Does he ever take you to his cabin?

  James : What?

  Derek Morgan : Fishing in Wisconsin? Camping? Two things you wished you had a real father for.

  James : Sometimes.

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, he's good like that.

  James : You know about the cabin?

  Derek Morgan : James, I told you I used to be you.

  James : What do you mean?

  Derek Morgan : The first you weren't even sure what was going on. He brushed up against you. You thought it might have just been an accident. But then at the cabin he let you sit and drink with him. You thought that was kinda cool. Made you feel grown. Gave you a glass of wine, maybe a little shot of something harder. And then he took you swimming, only he told you to jump in without your swimsuit on. He did things to you, James, didn't he? He did them to me, too. You do whatever you think you gotta do to keep him happy because he's the closest thing to a father you've got. But what he's doing to you is wrong and you don't have to let it continue, man.

• Derek Morgan : James, you are something, man. You're something right here, right now, without Carl Buford.

• James : Damien always said I should call you.

  Derek Morgan : What? Damien knew?

  James : I didn't think you'd believe me.

  Derek Morgan : James, I got your back forever.

• Carl Buford : Look at you. You'd probably be dead by now.

  Derek Morgan : Yeah, well, it wasn't for free, was it?

  Carl Buford : I pulled you out of the gutter.

  Derek Morgan : I pulled myself out of the gutter! All the way to the FBI! I DID THAT!

  Carl Buford : You saying I had nothing to do with making you who you are?

  Derek Morgan : No, Carl. Actually, I'm saying you have everything to do with making me who I am. Because of you, I'm somebody who gets to spend the rest of his life making sure guys like you go down.

  Carl Buford : Look, Derek, I never hurt you. You could have said no.

  [Gordinski appears behind Buford, overhearing everything] 

  Det. Stan Gordinski : You're under arrest, Carl.

• Derek Morgan : [voiceover]  "All secrets are deep. All secrets become dark. That's in the nature of secrets." - Writer: Cory Doctorow.

• Derek Morgan : [Morgan has been arrested]  You know, you better have a real good reason for doing that in front of my family. Are you gonna tell me the charges now?

  Det. Stan Gordinski : Oh, I bet if you think real hard, you'll be able to figure it out, Derek. Uncuff him.

  Derek Morgan : "Agent Morgan".

  Det. Stan Gordinski : You'll always just be "Derek" to me.

  Derek Morgan : And you'll always be a racist son of a bitch to me.

• Det. Stan Gordinski : Did you get some sleep?

  Derek Morgan : You know I didn't.

  Det. Stan Gordinski : Slept like a baby myself. Didn't even want to get out of bed.

  Derek Morgan : Really? So that wasn't your donut-eating ass on the other side of that glass all night, then, huh?

  Det. Dennison : [entering with a case file]  Here you go. You want the other ones?

  Det. Stan Gordinski : No, just this one right now.

  [Dennison leaves, and Morgan laughs to himself] 

  Derek Morgan : Come on, man. You gotta be kidding me, right? Pretend you went home and slept. Put an empty box with my name on it on a table right in front of me? The FBI invented this stuff, you simple bastard. We *teach* it.

• Derek Morgan : [interrogating Derek]  Damien Walter. D.O.A.

  [hands over crime scene photos to Derek] 

  Derek Morgan : Oh no! Somebody killed him?

  Det. Stan Gordinski : Not somebody

  Derek Morgan : You think I did this?
