Director Wisdom: I need actionable intelligence, not paranormals and bullshit magicians. Callie Ferris: With all due respect, sir. This bullshit magician's shown a pattern of advanced awareness that is statistically impossible. You let me bring him in and you'll get what you want.

Callie Ferris: I'm sure you know why I'm here. Because you're the man who knows what I'm going to do before I do it, right? Cris Johnson: [puzzled a moment by her assertion] Oh — the show. Right. Right! I saw you there. Wonderful. You like magic tricks. Callie: Yeah. Yeah, I do like your magic tricks, clairvoyance… whatever you're calling it. Let's talk about something hard. A stolen nuclear munition is being smuggled into the United States, or may, in fact, already be here. I want you to look ahead and tell me where it's going to be deployed. Cris: Uh... I think you've got the wrong guy. It's a magic act. Callie: You going to stick with that story? Because millions of lives are at risk and you could, maybe, prevent a major catastrophe. On a practical note: we're standing in front of a stolen vehicle and you're wanted for assault involving a weapon at the casino. Cris: All right — that was an accident. He had a gun. He was going to shoot two people. Callie: Yeah? How'd you know that? <

Cris: It's amazing isn't it? I end up in a diner where you are, and were both headed in the same direction. Liz: Well, I don't know if I'd call it amazing but… Cris: Destiny. That's what it really is. Liz: Okay… I'm starting to get that "psycho vibe." Cris: Oh, no. You don’t believe in destiny? Liz: Well, even if it does exist, I don't think I want to know. If every move we make is preordained, then what's the point in that? I mean, life is supposed to be a surprise. Isn't it? Cris: It would be nice.

Cris: There's an Italian painter, named Carletti, and, uh, ahem , he defined beauty. He said it was the summation of the parts working together in such a way that nothing needed to be added, taken away or altered, and that's you. You're beautiful. Liz: Wow.
