Quotes
-
Judge Jeffrey Turner : Are you ever going to let me off your hook, Saul?
Saul Berenson : We both know you're far too fine a judge for that, Jeffrey.
Judge Jeffrey Turner : Can we at least act like this is about the law rather than a brief moment of weakness in my past?
Saul Berenson : This is absolutely about the law, your honor.
-
Carrie Mathison : [surprised when Saul enters her house unannounced] I've got a doorbell, you know.
Saul Berenson : [indicating her surveillance equipment] You really think you still have a right to privacy with all this?
-
Carrie Mathison : What's that?
Saul Berenson : This gives you four weeks.
Carrie Mathison : You got a warrant? A FISA warrant? We're legal now?
Saul Berenson : Legal-ish, but far from official, and certainly not Estes-proof.
[she moves to take the envelope]
Saul Berenson : Be very careful not to mistake this for a stamp of approval, or sanction from me for you to wage some sort of personal war.
-
Carrie Mathison : Eyes on Brody makes complete sense. It's exactly what you would have done in my shoes, Saul.
Saul Berenson : No, it is not. You lied to me about it, Carrie. Then right here in this room when I called you on it...
Carrie Mathison : I know what I did. And I know it was wrong, and insulting.
Saul Berenson : Insulting. That barely scratches the surface of what that was. Four weeks, Carrie. Not a second longer.

Carrie Mathison : This is the first confirmed sighting of Abu Nazir in seven years.
Saul Berenson : And very much to your credit. Nobody's arguing with that. But it's not enough to authorize a task force.
Carrie Mathison : Well, I'm not asking for that. All I need is a few more bodies on Sergeant Brody.
Saul Berenson : [sigh] Ugh, look, the circle's small. We keep it that way 'till you have more than just a theory linking Brody and Abu Nazir.
Carrie Mathison : So Abu Nazir's resurfacing just as Brody has miraculously returned home means nothing? It's just a coincidence?
Saul Berenson : The dots are there, Carrie, but you haven't connected 'em yet.
Carrie Mathison : Saul, I understand that you're still furious with me, but give me something here, please.
Saul Berenson : I'm not telling you to stop. I'm telling you to slow down. The FISA warrant, that gives you four weeks. Use it. Carefully, methodically. Look, like it or not, you work for Deputy Director David Estes, who has career stakes in Brody, whom he and his department brought home to great fanfare. Want to challenge that, better be damn sure you get all your ducks in a row first.
