Hope you enjoy these Spader/Reddington gems as much as I do each week:

“I prefer to play with myself in private.”
–Reddington to the Wujing minion at the park, prompting the minion to leave.

“That’s what they said about Deepthroat and the G-spot."

–In response to Lizzie Keen telling him that Wujing was a myth.

"Now you see you make it sound like treason, so black & white - it’s not, it’s green."

–To Lizzie Keen after she questioned his decision to help Wujing/Chinese government.

"Look at you, camel trading like a veteran.”

–In response to Lizzie agreeing to help catch Wujing and asking what’s in it for her.

“The first two were a NIGHTMARE, 3rd one was actually quite pleasant. Even so, that won’t happen again.”

–To Wujing’s minion about being held captive for 3 weeks in a shipping container by Somali pirates.

“So if you kill her, you better kill me too, or I’m going to kill you.”

–To Wujing’s threat about killing Lizzie Keen.

“I believe I will always do what I have to to keep you alive.”

–To Lizzie, in response to her telling him he did not have to kill Jin.
