Elizabeth: So this is the part where I run out horrified, as if I don’t know what you’re capable of. I’m not going to pretend to be okay with it, but this is your life. It doesn’t change how I feel about you.
Jason: It should.
Elizabeth: I can separate who you are from the things you do.

Cody: Sorry, thought you’d want to know. Karpov made a call when he was leaving. From what I heard, it sounded like he was arranging to meet someone. It seemed like a good idea to put a tail on him. I just heard back from my guy.
Jason: That’s good work. Let’s go.
Cody: I can do it on my own.
Jason: No, I want to see what Karpov’s up to myself.
[Knock on door]
Elizabeth: We never finished our conversation.
Jason: Yeah, I got — I got a meeting with the city council.
Elizabeth: Are you going to let me in or make me do this in the hallway?
Jason: I got just — you know, I’m trying to get permits. Diane set up this meeting with a city council member. If I blow him off, he’s — he’s going to take the whole project. So, I just –
Elizabeth: Just admit you’re running, that you’re afraid to talk to me.
Jason: I’m sick of hurting you, telling you “no, I can’t.” I can’t make you happy.
Elizabeth: Well, that’s for me to decide, not you.
Jason: I mean, it would work for a little while, but sooner or later, someone you love will get hurt, or I’m going to do something that you cannot live with.
Elizabeth: I accept that we don’t have a future, but we do have right now. That’s all I’m asking.
Elizabeth: You don’t know how I’ve tried to talk myself out of this, but it never works. All I see is you.
Jason: How I dealt with Karpov, the things you heard me say, that’s — that’s who I am. All the times I got shot, and you had to nurse me back to health, I was shooting at people who were shooting at me, and sometimes they died. I chose a life where being able to kill is a measure of success. I choose to break the law. I had a chance to run away with you and the kids, and I chose to stay. What part of that makes you love me?
Elizabeth: I can’t explain it. It’s not logical. That’s why it’s love.
