Donald Ressler: "Every time you 'meet', someone ends up dead."
Reddington: "We've gotten off to a rocky start."
Harold Cooper: "You've killed three people."
Reddington: "I'm not perfect."

Once he's hired to make a delivery, he can't be bribed, he can't be stopped. If either party attempts to double cross the other, he kills them both. The perfect middleman for an imperfect world."

"Good cop/bad cop isn't working. Let's try bad cop/worse cop."

Red: "Thank you."
Elizabeth: "For what?"
Red: "For being honest with me. In my life, I don't encounter that frequently."
