“Gideon: We receive comfort from our prayers. Jind Allah: We? Gideon: Human beings [pauses]... I say something wrong? Jind Allah: You placed us on the same level. Gideon: Aren't we? Jind Allah: Well, here, I am thought of as less than human. Gideon: And in your jihad, I am.”

“Reid: [referring to the bomber's phone call warning of an attack 'where it all began'] So Seattle's 'where it all began.' Morgan: We just need to figure out what "it" is and, off the top of my head, I can think of grunge music and overpriced coffee.”

“She obviously did nothing to protect Amber from the abuse. She...she feels betrayed by her mother and now receives extreme sadistic pleasure in watching the same thing that happened to her. Strange. In this case, the abused actually became the abuser.”
