Tess Vargas: [as they walk along] Whoa. What do you mean he just left?
Catherine Chandler: Yeah. More like blurred. It's bizarre.
Tess Vargas: No, it's guys. They're preternaturally built to bolt in the face of commitment. Been there, done that.
Catherine Chandler: That's what I'm worried about. What if Vincent's having second thoughts?
[Tess stops in her tracks]
Catherine Chandler: What? You just said...?
Tess Vargas: No, I know, but... I mean, come on, you guys are like the frigging fairy tale. It's different.
Catherine Chandler: What if the fairy tale's becoming too real? I mean, one minute we're unpacking boxes, and the next, he's running off to talk to J.T. about synthetic serums.
Tess Vargas: Whoa, isn't that what you wanted though? Him on board with all the mythological mystery, finding your destiny, all that crap?
Catherine Chandler: I don't know. Maybe Vincent feels like I forced him into this.
Tess Vargas: Do you mean moving in?
Catherine Chandler: No, I mean everything, including the mythological mystery.
Tess Vargas: Maybe he just needs some time, a... a little space.
Catherine Chandler: A little space? Tess, he's moving in with me. By definition, that means he's giving up space.
Tess Vargas: Just don't freak out, and try not to control the situation, either.
Catherine Chandler: I don't try to control situations.
Tess Vargas: Really? Then what are we doing here about to break into Homeland Security?
Catherine Chandler: We are trying to figure out what Agent Thomas knew about those, those freaky experiments, that's what. Trying to save lives!
Tess Vargas: Okay, you know what? With the new captain coming, I'm a little bit more concerned with saving my own ass, and so should you. But, no, we're here because when you want what you want...
Catherine Chandler: Okay, look! All you have to do is run interference. I will sneak into Agent Thomas' office.
Tess Vargas: How the hell are you gonna do that? Isn't his office secured by...?
Catherine Chandler: [produces key card] I lifted Thomas' key card from his room. Just distract his boss, and I will handle the rest.
Tess Vargas: [chuckles] Like I said, when you want what you want...
