-->'''Quinn'': So, Miss Donovan, how is that background in real estate law goin' for you? It's big help? Hmm? Well, frankly, I think we caught a break. If Lincoln had nailed a girl with half a brain, she probably would've brought this whole thing down already. But you know what the worst part is? That you dragged these people into this, knowing that you had ''no'' clue how to get them out. I mean, if you had just minded your own business, people like Leticia Barris, she wouldn't have a mouthful of maggots right about now. [[spoiler:Your fiancé]] would not be lying in his apartment waiting for the smell of his rotting corpse to let the neighbors know that something had gone horribly wrong. That's right. Their deaths are on your head. You made this mess. Nobody else. You. But you're also the one person that can end it all right here. All I need to know is who else you've involved.

* TheVoiceless: He invokes this in his first appearances in Season 2. He avoids speaking because he doesn't want his voice to be caught by spies or recording devices, so he communicates to Agent Kim by writing on notepads. He first speaks on-screen in "Panama", for he has decided he must speak freely to Kim, so they meet in a location that can't be targeted by long-distance recording devices. He continues his secretiveness after this, speaking for the second time in Season 2's finale in another location where he can speak freely. He gives up this habit for the rest of the series, though.
