Meredith: [about the attack against CBI agents[ Special Agent Minelli, our condolences. Would you describe your feelings at this terrible time?
Minelli: Wow, Meredith. That's-you media guys, that's just... You know, for eight years I've put up with the idiotic questions of the media and I've never said squat.

And we do it with no money, broken-down vehicles, with computers that have more viruses than a $10 whore. How? Good people, and I've lost three good people today and a fourth who is in critical condition, and you ask me how I'm feeling. I'm feeling sad, you moron. Any other questions?
