Elizabeth: Let me first say that Agent Burke and I have been married for twelve years. It’s a partnership that’s built on respect, admiration, and trust.
Interviewer: And how is this relevant?
Elizabeth: Peter’s relationship with Neal is built on the same elements.
Interviewer: Your husband trusts Neal?
Elizabeth: He does. When it counts.
Interviewer: When it counts?
Elizabeth: Well, Neal was a con man, I don’t know if you’d want him dating your sister […] Can I take that back?
Interviewer: No.
Elizabeth: Listen, Peter and Neal together, they argue and bicker. But in the end, when it counts, Peter puts up with Neal because…he’s worth it.
Interviewer: Should Mr. Caffrey’s sentence be commuted?
Elizabeth: Yes.3x16 Judgement Day
Elizabeth: Hey.
Peter: Hey.
Elizabeth: Morning. You’re up early.
Peter: Yeah, couldn’t sleep. Big day.
Elizabeth: I can tell. You’re wearing your lucky tie. Hey, did you find the Bible?
Peter: Yeah, the professor had it. Neal’s going to buy it back.
Elizabeth: You’re giving him money. Wow. No wonder, lucky tie.
Peter: No way—we set up a fake wire transfer.
Elizabeth: Then what’re you worried about?
Peter: He has to convince her that he’s working us, which means he has to cut his anklet for real. The book’s worth a fortune. He could run with it.
Elizabeth: Well, you have a lot more faith in a ratty old tie than you do Neal.
Peter: Yeah, well, this ratty old tie’s never forged a priceless map of Vinland.
Elizabeth: Why is it so hard for you to believe that he’ll do the right thing?
Peter: Let’s just say that’s not his first instinct.
Elizabeth: Trust isn’t yours.
Peter: Occupational hazard. I like to know I can count on something.
Elizabeth: I know you do. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.

“Honey, relax. You’re not in trouble”
Elizabeth: What are you thinking?
Peter: I’m thinking we need a third cake.
Elizabeth: One with a file in it?
Peter: One that says, “bon voyage”. Kramer doesn’t want to put Neal away, he wants to keep him for himself, in D.C.
Elizabeth: He’d take Neal away from you?
Peter: For my own good, but that’s not…
Elizabeth: What is it?
Peter: One night, from sunset to sunrise, I gave Neall full immunity to tell me everything he’d ever done.
Elizabeth: Wow, and he did?
Peter: Oh, boy, he did.
Elizabeth: But he has full immunity.
Peter: It was my immunity, not the Bureau’s.
Elizabeth: If Kramer digs up these things…
Peter: Neal could get the maximum. Forget D.C., forget the anklet.
Elizabeth: He could go back to prison.
Peter: For a long, long time.
Elizabeth: Have you told him?
Peter: No.
Elizabeth: Hon!
Peter: I can’t! When Neal’s threatened he gets in even more trouble.
Elizabeth: Talk to Kramer. He’s your friend. He doesn’t know the Pandora’s box he’s opening.
