If I wake up tomorrow and that anklet is still on, I have a good job, a wonderful home, a partner and a best friend. A family. But to wake up and answer only to myself. That would mean everything.” Peter: Twice. And you should know, the last time I caught him, he was sitting alone in an empty apartment. He had nothing. No one. Holloman: And now? Peter: He has a life. A real life here. One that keeps him grounded and decent. As you've heard, there are many people who care about Neal, people who see him as more than just a criminal.

Peter: I saw a suspicious van and wondered if there was any illegal activity taking place inside. Neal: Just a convict and an FBI agent watching TV.

Diminishing Returns [4.03]

you're an FBI agent, Peter Burke. Go get your job back.

Diminishing Returns [4.03]

Peter: Neal, you're not a killer. Neal: But I am a criminal.

Parting Shots [4.04]

Neal: The thing about fleeing suspects is that they can't say goodbye---to anyone. You know why I had to run. Sara: I know. Just so you know the world didn't stop rotating when you were gone.

Parting Shots [4.04]

Neal: Do you have a radius? Peter: I have a badge.

Parting Shots [4.04]

I can't con a widow.

Parting Shots [4.04]

Agent Peterson: Where are you going? Peter: To cross a line.

Parting Shots [4.04]

Peter: How did you leave things with Sara? Neal: Why?? Peter: Look behind you. Sara: I am looking for agent Burke. Neal: Sara. Sara: Neal. How did your island trip go? Neal: Seemed like a good idea at the time. Sara: Until the hangover.

Parting Shots [4.04]

Peter: [talking to Neal] ...south-east corner, by the monument. Sara: Neal? Peter: Yup. He didn tell anyone when he was leaving for the island. Sara: I wasn't completely unaware. Peter: You knew he was gonna run? Sara: Something I have learnt. Things get stolen and people go away. Most of the time you don't get them back.

Gloves Off [4.09]

Ellen Parker: By now, I assume you know, your father’s been accused of a very serious crime. He told me he was innocent and I believed him. I worked with him a long time. He’s no killer, Neal. The man I know can’t be. After he was arrested, your dad told me that our department is filled with dirty cops and they set him up. So I’ve spent the last few months running down leads, trying to back up his story, and he’s right about one thing: there are dirty cops, a lot of them. But did they set him up? I—I thought maybe they had. And then, uh, yesterday, your father confessed to the murder. I tried to talk to him, but all anyone will tell me is that he turned state’s evidence and that you, your mom, and I are being placed into witness protection. 'Samuel Phelps': He [your father] never shut up about you. You’d think he was the only guy in the planet who had a son, the way he carried on. One day, he brought you down to the precinct and he introduced you around as a junior detective to every c

The Original [4.15]

You're my son. And I'm very proud of that.

In the Wind [4.16]

James Bennett: Hey, you know, you inherited your old man's impatience, you've just got a little bit more self-control. Neal: Okay. What else did I get from my old man? James: "Well, you've got my height...extraordinary good looks. Everybody said you got my eyes." Neal: When I was five, Mom told me that you were the blue in my eyes. And I'd run upstairs and crawl right up next to the bathroom mirror and look so hard for you. James: You think that what's in there [the evidence box] will tell you who I am. Neal: And if it does? James: Then, you will finally know who you are. You know, you're not me, Neal. Neal: No, but you are the blue in my eyes. James: Don't forget the extraordinary good looks. Neal: First time we met, you were chasing me. First time we spoke, you called me a sociopath— Sara: Well, that was at your trial, and I'm not entirely sure I was wrong. Neal: —First time we had dinner, you asked me what I wanted from you. And the first time we kissed, I realized that I don't want

At What Price [5.01]

Elizabeth: Do we have any options? Neal: We do, but they mostly involve you two living under new identities in Alaska. Elizabeth: Anything less nuclear? Neal: Not yet. Elizabeth: Well I've always wanted to drive a snowmobile to work, so... Do whatever you have to do, okay? Neal: How are we gonna convince Peter to break out of prison? Mozzie: Who says we have to convince him? Neal: What, are you gonna carry him out?

Out of the Frying Pan [5.02]

David: [holding Mozzie at gunpoint] Get your hands up. You're not going anywhere. Mozzie: Uh, tell that to Emil Berliner. [remotely activates a gramophone, distracting Siegel, and runs off]

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Dr. Summers: Tell me, what kind of change are you looking to make with your life? Neal: I guess I'm looking for some normalcy. [picks up glass] Thank you. Dr. Summers: And what if that's not possible? Neal: [chuckles] That doesn't sound very encouraging. Dr. Summers: I'm not here to encourage you. I'm here to help you discover the truth about yourself, so you can accept it. Neal: I have to accept that I can't be normal? Dr. Summers: You're too interesting to be normal. Neal: What makes me so interesting? Dr. Summers: Your pathological assumption that you need to be the smartest person in the room at all times. Neal: Maybe you're the one assuming things. According to all these diplomas on your wall, you're a lot smarter than me, but then again, those are just papers, not people. Dr. Summers: Do you think you're good with people? Neal: No more than you. Dr. Summers: It's my job. Neal: Mine too. You have an aggressive approach. Dr. Summers: And you're already withholding. But that's natur

Controlling Interest [5.04]

You make something from that?

Controlling Interest [5.04]

It’s too early to diagnose.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

But you’ve got something.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Your answers are...unique, in summation.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

I assure you I can handle it, Doctor.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Your behaviour is sociopathic.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

[chuckles] I’m sorry?

Controlling Interest [5.04]

You work on perception, the perception of others. How you think they'll feel. This influences your actions and thoughts more so than your own emotions. Deceit and manipulation are the essential characteristics of the disorder- you excel at both.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Deceit and manipulation are generalities that can apply to anyone who lies, and everyone lies, including you, Dr. Summers.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

That may be true, but not everyone believes their own lies.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Why would I delude myself?

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Because you don't want anyone to see your vulnerabilities.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

I don’t strike you as confident?..

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Confident people admit to their flaws. You don't. Instead, you smile, a lot.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

You're confident. What are your flaws?

Controlling Interest [5.04]

I can be aggressive, like you pointed out earlier. I also pick at my nails when I get nervous.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Nobody’s perfect.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Precisely. The harder a person fights to be perfect, the more he suppresses his true nature.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

[suddenly very insecure] I’m..I’m reformed.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Are you? Just because a person starts doing good things doesn't mean he wants to stop doing bad things.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Of course not. Because everyone has done something bad at some point in their life, even you.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

This is not about me.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

I thought confident people could admit to their flaws.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

You're redirecting...

Controlling Interest [5.04]

So are you.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

Because you’re uncomfortable.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

You don’t think that I can change.

Controlling Interest [5.04]

I’m asking if you really want to.
