Elizabeth MitchellQuotes

Senator Charlie Roan: [''Learning of a plan to assassinate her election opponent''] You cannot do this. I need to win this thing fair and fucking square.

Angel Munoz: They are not playing fair and fucking square and neither should we.

Leo Barnes: [[w:Fort Knox|Fort Knox] This church will be locked up like ]. You'll never get through. You're gonna get slaughtered.

Angel Munoz: [[w:George Washington|your boy George Washington; [w:escape tunnel|escape tunnels; [w:Washington, D.C.|D.C.] Four churches were built on that site. The original by ] over 200 years ago. The man liked to have ] attached to all his structures. They're all over ] The tunnel under the original church has been closed up since the 50s. But we reopened it. We're gonna walk right through there and into that church without anybody even knowing it. The original Founding Fathers are about to fuck over the New Founding Fathers. Now how you like that for irony?

Leo Barnes: How'd you know where this mass is gonna be?

Angel Munoz: Because we do whatever it takes. We did this for you, Senator.

Senator Charlie Roan: No, it's not for me. Get your boss on the phone. I need to talk to him.

Angel Munoz: He's not here.

Senator Charlie Roan: Angel, listen to me. You call him. You tell him he does this and the Minister becomes a martyr. I cannot have my presidency built on murder. You see that.

Angel Munoz: He will not leave this to the voters. He does not believe in the American system.

Senator Charlie Roan: Angel, believe in me. I can make this happen.

Angel Munoz: We do. That's why we're trying to pave a way for you to the White House so you can make changes.

Senator Charlie Roan: You're gonna cost me the White House.

Marcos: You okay, Senator?

Senator Charlie Roan: No, Marcos. I'm not. This night corrupts everyone.

Leo Barnes: Senator.

Senator Charlie Roan: I can't win like this. It goes against everything that I believe in.

Leo Barnes: We need to focus on one thing right now and that's survival. I need to make sure you get through this night.

Senator Charlie Roan: I have to stop them from killing the Minister.

Leo Barnes: What?

Senator Charlie Roan: If they assassinate him, he becomes a martyr. We lose.

Leo Barnes: Yeah. And how do we do that?

Senator Charlie Roan: I don't know. We have to do something.

Senator Charlie Roan: It doesn't make any sense. There was no way they could've known we'd be in this van.

Leo Barnes: [''Realizes something''] Doesn't matter. They did. You son of a bitch.

Senator Charlie Roan: [''Picks up a pair of surgical tongs''] Leo? Leo?

Leo Barnes: Move.

Senator Charlie Roan: [''Digging into his bullet wound] Leo. Oh! Leo, what the hell are you doing? Leo, what...

Leo Barnes: [''Extracts the bullet, one end of which glows blue''] Trace bullet. That's how he found us.

Dante Bishop: Dawn called. Told me you guys were coming through. So, the NFFA came at you tonight? Can't say I'm surprised. Let me show you around, get you settled in.

Senator Charlie Roan: You set all this up, Mr. Bishop?

Dante Bishop: Yes, this is my organization. We have doctors, and nurses, EMTs, paramedics. This is their way of protesting this damn night.

Leo Barnes: How many people know about this place?

Dante Bishop: Just the volunteers, and the homeless that we invite in. Look, these are the real victims of the Purge. The people that the NFFA are trying to eliminate so that they don't have to take care of them anymore.

Leo Barnes: These men that are armed, you'll have them at all the entrances and the rooftop?

Dante Bishop: Yes. My men will keep you safe. Or as safe as you can be on Purge Night.

Senator Charlie Roan: What's going on?

Leo Barnes: Just doing my job.

Angel Munoz: Senator, it's just a misunderstanding. Why don't we go back outside? Come on.

Senator Charlie Roan: [looking at what covers the walls] Are you seeing this, Leo?

Leo Barnes: Yes, Senator.

Angel Munoz: Senator, why don't we go outside...

Senator Charlie Roan: Stop. Those are the Minister's biggest financial supporters. The NFFA. Our Lady of Sorrow. Is... is that where the Minister is going to be tonight for the Purge Mass?

Angel Munoz: We believe so.

Senator Charlie Roan: [''Realizing''] You believe... what is all this? Why do you have all this? You're gonna assassinate him. You're gonna assassinate the Minister tonight, aren't you?

Senator Charlie Roan: How the hell did it get to this?

Leo Barnes: [''Seeing Rondo''] Who is he? Why is he cuffed?

Laney Rucker: Rondo. Two bullet holes delivered by a rival gang, but he's a good kid. He's chained up cause I didn't want him Purging anymore. So, Senator... NFFA made a move on your ass.

Senator Charlie Roan: Seems that way.

Laney Rucker: Goddamn conniving, duplicitous, crooked, cocksucking politicians.

Senator Charlie Roan: Agreed. We're not all that bad.

Laney Rucker: My experience, Senator? My people are on our own, no matter what you all say or promise.

Rondo: I'm kind of confused here. Who the hell is this lady?

Laney Rucker: You big dope! You give people from the neighborhood a bad name.

Leo Barnes: What's your name, pal?

Joe Dixon: You know what, Mr. Secret Service Man? You should be thanking my black ass for helping you instead of interrogating me.

Senator Charlie Roan: His name is Joe Dixon.

Leo Barnes: Joe Dixon, have I offended you?

Joe Dixon: Yeah. Yeah, man, just a little bit.

Leo Barnes: Your feelings are not a concern of mine.

Joe Dixon: Little respect. That's all I need.

Marcos: [''Observing surveillance feed''] Everyone, shut up, please! Look.

Schoolgirl #1 Freakbride: [''Pulling up with her friends again''] You stupid motherfucker! You should have let us take the candy bar! Now you're fuckin gonna pay for it, you stupid son of a bitch! Whoo! It's a good night to Purge, isn't it?

Joe Dixon: Oh, hell!

Senator Charlie Roan: Who the hell is that?

Marcos: The looters I was telling you about.

Leo Barnes: Purge Night, Senator. What did you expect?

Leo Barnes: [''Checking out Joe's deli''] Place is moderately secure. Cameras. Maybe we stay here.

Joe Dixon: Maybe we stay here"? Where you going? You going back out there?

Senator Charlie Roan: Joe, do you have a first aid kit? Leo, my security, was shot.

Leo Barnes: I'm fine.

Senator Charlie Roan: You're not fine.

Leo Barnes: I'm fine.

Senator Charlie Roan: You're not. Sit. You want me to take it off?

Leo Barnes: [''With a sigh, he removes his jacket''] It's okay. It's nothing.

Senator Charlie Roan: Yeah? Doesn't look like nothing.

Leo Barnes: [''Marcos brings the first aid kit''] Let me see. Let me see.

Marcos: [''Checks wound''] I know a little bit about first aid. I could help you. The bullet's deep. You need stitches.

Leo Barnes: Yeah.

Marcos: But we can't do that here.

Leo Barnes: Right. Clean it up. Patch it up. Come on. Move.

Leo Barnes: Someone is coming for you.

Senator Charlie Roan: What?

Leo Barnes: [''Gives her a Kevlar vest''] Put that on.

Senator Charlie Roan: Leo, the house is surrounded...

Leo Barnes: Move, move!

Senator Charlie Roan: I'm moving. What are you... you said you had men on the roof. You have snipers.

Leo Barnes: Not anymore. Not anymore.

Senator Charlie Roan: What do you mean not anymore?

Leo Barnes: Someone betrayed us.

Senator Charlie Roan: What?

Leo Barnes: I can't trust anyone. Put on that vest. Listen to me. This isn't a drill. Someone's coming to kill you. You understand me? Move.

Senator Charlie Roan: [''He uncovers a hidden escape hatch in the floor''] Moving. What the...

Leo Barnes: Go!

Senator Charlie Roan: Okay, what the hell is that?

Leo Barnes: That's my little secret. Move.

Joe Dixon: That's, uh, that's Marcos right there. Marcos is, uh... he's a fan of yours.

Senator Charlie Roan: Hi, Marcos.

Marcos: Hey, Senator.

Joe Dixon: He actually thinks you can win this thing.

Senator Charlie Roan: Oh, yeah?

Joe Dixon: [laughing] Shit! Uh, tell her what-what she need to do to win, Marcos.

Marcos: Oh, no, it's not my place to say.

Senator Charlie Roan: Well, you saved my life, Marcos. I'd like to hear it, please.

Marcos: Florida is the key. You have to get the elders.

Senator Charlie Roan: That's smart. He's not wrong, Joe. What do you think?

Joe Dixon: Well, I don't think you got a damn chance.

Senator Charlie Roan: Well, have a little faith.

Joe Dixon: Well, I lost my faith in the system a long time ago, Senator.

Tommy Roseland: The New Founding Fathers believe in fairness. And we hear what the people are saying. That the Purge benefits the rich and the powerful. That was never the intention. From this point on, no one is exempt. The rules protecting level 10 government officials have been revoked.

Chief Couper: [as he watches on TV, Barnes knocks on the door] Yeah, come in.

Leo Barnes: You seeing this?

Chief Couper: Yeah, NFFA is revoking the Purge rule that protects government officials of ranking 10 on Purge night.

Leo Barnes: Yeah, I'll secure a safehouse and full security detail on the night.

Senator Charlie Roan: No. I'm staying home on Purge Night.

Leo Barnes: Senator, I don't think that's a good idea.

Senator Charlie Roan: If the voters get wind that I'm hiding in a fortress like some rich asshole, I lose votes and the NFFA wins. I stay home like 99% of the population. Make it safe. Whatever it takes.

Senator Charlie Roan: What made you apply for this position?

Leo Barnes: I like your politics.

Senator Charlie Roan: No. No bullshit. I want a real answer.

Leo Barnes: I lost my son some years ago. He was killed. I almost did something on Purge Night that would've destroyed a lot of lives. I want this night gone. I know you do, too. Especially after what you lost.

Senator Charlie Roan: Yeah. Despite all of that, you... you have a big problem with how I do things.

Leo Barnes: You take risks, Senator. My job is to eliminate risks and keep you alive. You don't make that easy.

Senator Charlie Roan: The soul of this country is at stake, Leo. The only way that I can win is to risk everything, and that includes my life.

Senator Charlie Roan: [''At a presidential debate''] More low-income people are killed during the Purge than anyone else. The money generated from the Purge lines the pockets of the NRA and insurance companies. Any government system that relies on violence to answer its problems must be rebooted.

Chief Couper: [''Watching from off-stage''] She's doing good, Leo.

Senator Charlie Roan: It is time to call upon the better angels of our nature.

Leo Barnes: This is how it's gonna go now. Like you said, fate of the country's at stake. Okay? It's my show now.

Senator Charlie Roan: Look, I'm not an idiot. I know what you're capable of. I'm the one who hired you. But if I see something I don't like, I'm not gonna be quiet about it. It's not in my nature.
