- James MacPherson: In your soul, you believe as I do. That's the vibe you've been feeling.
- Pete Lattimer: How do you know what I'm feeling?
- James MacPherson: Because I know you, Peter Lattimer, better than you know yourself. I was you. Shall I tell you the thought that crosses your mind occasionally? What if these artifacts really do belong out in the world, instead of being locked up by a gang of autocratic Regents, who see the universe through the blindness of their own bureaucracy? Walk out of here with me now, and follow what you know to be true in your soul.
- Pete Lattimer: It's a nice speech. It sounds even better with the fancy accent. But it still doesn't cover the fact that you are out of your gourd, MacNutty-pants. You put a bomb in a man's mouth. Not really a great recruiting tool.
- James MacPherson: Fair enough. Well, I'll be saying goodbye, then.
- [Mrs. Frederic discovers that MacPherson has stolen the Phoenix]
- Mrs. Frederic: Now I'm getting angry.
- Mrs. Frederic: [about Claudia] Let her go. For the time being, it's best if she weren't in the warehouse.
- Leena: What if she disappears?
- Mrs. Frederic: She's being watched.
- Leena: I have never seen her this upset before.
- Mrs. Frederic: That's what made James such an excellent agent. He'd get inside your head, throw you off your game. Just when you thought you had the upper hand, he'd strike.
