Quotes
-

Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : My staff is a complimentary group of independent thinkers. And you would be wise to not let your personal vendetta cloud your judgment of them - or me.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Is this where you quote Sun Tzu in a thinly veiled threat?
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : I'll leave the cliches to you, Owen.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Your remaining time would best be spend getting your affairs in order, Henrietta... I'm not afraid of you.
[Granger leaves]
Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : That was your first mistake.
-
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Special Agent G. Callen.
G. Callen : Who are you?
Assistant Director Owen Granger : The direct approach. You know, that's an interesting approach, unless of course, you're walking into a trap.
-
Assistant Director Owen Granger : That's great. You brought your entire team with you. Unfortunately, it makes it so much easier to blow you all up.

Sam Hanna : Twitch - I shoot.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Is that a catchphrase?

G. Callen : Nell is an Intelligence Analyst - not an agent. If someone's going undercover, it should be one of us.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : It's a think tank, Agent Callen, not a cartel. Miss Jones has the training. And besides having an IQ that's higher than your combined credit scores, Miss Jones was actively recruited by Brendell Research along with other think tanks before winding up here. It's what we call a "no brainer."... Keep me updated.

Eric Beale : So Assistant Director Granger, are you moving to the west coast permanently?
Assistant Director Owen Granger : They don't let you out much do they, Beale?
Eric Beale : Why do say that?
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Lucky guess... That and you kind of remind me of one of those Twlight kids.

Assistant Director Owen Granger : I'm here for a lot of things. Conventional wisdom is great when you're fighting a conventional enemy. But that's not the case anymore.
Sam Hanna : Hetty has more skill, wisdom than any of us could hope for.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : You know, your loyalty would be admirable if it weren't operationally unsound. If I had been a real enemy, I could have killed the lot of you last night because of that blind loyalty.
G. Callen : Had you been an enemy, Hetty would've had your head on a stick before we got here.
Assistant Director Owen Granger : Yeah? Well, I'm well aware of the urban legend that is Henrietta Lange. Folklore belongs in the history books. Like it or not, the old guard is changing, gentlemen. Now one of you can rise up and meet the challenge, or I'll find someone who can.
