Martian Quotes

You’re not trying to help me, Doctor. You’re worried I may have somehow become sane.[to Blake]

You’re not a field agent, you’re undercover. You don’t get to jump in and out. We watch, we position, we learn, we vanish. There but not there. Engaging but forgettable. Too far out, you never get what you need. Too close in, you become the target.[to Danny]

You said there’s two types of agent. I believe there’s one. The insane. Go and pretend to be someone you’re not. Lie to everyone. Risk your life on a daily basis. Then come home, just f***ing deal. No glamour, no money, no exploding watch.[to Blake]

When you live undercover, there’s all these voices. Loud voices, quiet voices. The quietest of all is always there. It says the same thing over and over. “I can do this. I can do anything.” You know what the voice is? It’s hope. That’s the thing about this game. If you’re hoping, if you hope anything, ever, at any time… it’s too late.

This is the lesson. Never rely on the op to make you safe. Rely on yourself.[to Danny]

The CIA, this Department, it seeks us out, targets us. Individuals who need something. Something they can’t get anyplace else. It nurtures us, weans us, feeds us and sends us out into the world to behave in entirely unhealthy, devious, deviant, dangerous ways.[to Blake]
