 * Moe: Your car dry up or they get you a new one?

The Good Soldier [7.11]

 * Rush: It's been four years, Bobby. What took you so long to come forward?
 * SPC Bobby Kerns: Special Forces. Went from training at Fort Bragg to two tours in Afghanistan. Just got home.
 * Rush: A bus ticket doesn't prove he was with you.
 * SPC Bobby Kerns: Ma'am, Army thinks one of its top soldiers is a criminal. You gotta make it right. Staff Sergeant Donley changed my life; the least I can do is honor his.


 * [In a flashback scene told by Jerry Harkin, Kevin's father, SSG Donley arrives at Kevin's funeral to offer his condolences. Jerry follows Donley, angry and meaning to confront him, but finds Donley speaking quietly with Kevin's younger brother, Ethan.]
 * SSG Mike Donley: Ethan, right? Man, your brother talked a lot about you. I'm sure that everybody's telling you you gotta be strong for your pop, and you got big shoes to fill. But none of that answers any of your questions, right? About why all this had to happen? I wish I could tell you; I can't. No one can. But if you ever get sad about your brother, I want you to remember this.
 * [The flashback ends abruptly; Jerry Harkin is trying to compose himself.]
 * Jerry: Sorry.
 * Rush: Take your time.
 * Jerry: He, um... he told my son Ethan that... he shouldn't feel sad about never seeing Kevin again. Because, every time he saw a soldier on TV, in the news, on the street- anywhere- that... he was seeing a piece of Kevin. That Kevin was now... a part of something bigger. Now, I might not have agreed with Mike that much but... what he said stays with me today. It's how I get by.

The Runaway Bunny [7.12]

 * Valens: The kind that don't care about you!

The Last Drive-In [7.18]

 * Valens: Just came to see how you were doing.
 * Vera: Well, five hours a day I get to talk about my feelings. Can't sleep 'cause my roommate's up every five minutes washing the germs off his hands, and lecturing me about palm oils in my diet. Highlight of the day is, uh, taking on my fellow defectives in ping-pong, but other than that things are looking up.
 * Valens: How's the Jell-O?
 * Vera: Not bad. Mac and cheese sucks.

Bullet [7.19]

 * Yates: Cavanaugh, change of plans. Rush and I have field command with your oversight.
 * Ryan: According to who?
 * Yates: Well you, actually. Just got off the phone with the SSC, let them know your plans to pursue the case and he signed off.
 * Ryan: Even you don't have the balls, Yates.
 * Yates: Well, call himself, Ryan, if you don't believe me. Course, you're going to have to explain how I went off the reservation for a week, opened this case solo, while you sat in your corner office clueless. [Ryan closes the phone] Don't pout, Ryan, it causes frown lines.

Free Love [7.20]

 * Cavanaugh: Come on, it's Friday, I'll have you back by Monday. We'll get you a car, US Marshall will deputize you, and you get to hang out with me a little more.
 * Rush: But I don't really like you.


 * Valens': I thought you to had a thing going?
 * Kat: Had. Moving on.
 * Valens: He's a decent guy, good job, chemistry... Can see why you'd want to throw that away.
 * Kat: He's all yours.

Almost Paradise [7.21]

 * Vera: I don't remember dressing this badly in high school...
 * Jeffries: You mean... compared to now?
 * Vera: Well, how'd you guys do it back in the day, Will? What, did Moses just hold a candle while you guys danced?

Shattered [7.22]

 * Rush: [looking for her missing sister] She's got this deranged boyfriend after her. She really knows how to pick 'em.
 * Valens: Easy.
 * Rush: I don't know why I should care anymore.
 * Valens: Still blood. Still hurts.
 * Rush: Look, I'm sorry I... dragged you into this mess.
 * Valens: Nah. I should have told you before.
 * Rush: I mean, I feel like I'm still responsible for her. But I don't know how to keep doing this.
 * Valens: She went through what you did, too.
 * Rush: Well, you would think it would have brought us closer, but I barely remember a time when we got along. When we were just sisters.
