Barrett Foa: Eric Beale

Quotes 

• Eric Beal : He got trapped in a satelite test chamber.

  Marty Deeks : Looks like he didn't pass the test.

• Nell Jones : Space technology is a pretty specialized field. I mean, you really need someone who speaks their language to get them to open up.

  Eric Beal : Someone with the power to shut them down wouldn't hurt either. An FAA inspection wouldn't be out of place considering the circumstances.

  Nell Jones : Yeah, but the question is who? I mean, there's a lot to learn, and not enough time.

  Eric Beal : [Long pause. Nell looks at Eric]  Why are you looking at me like that?

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Mr. Beal, I think it's time for you to take a little field trip.

  Eric Beal : A field trip?

• Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Were you ever in a school play, Mr. Beal?

  Eric Beal : Twice. A tree and a horse.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : [Hetty chuckles]  Which end?... When you're in your chair - up in ops - you are one of the most confident people I've ever known.

  Eric Beal : Can I bring my chair?

• Eric Beal : Black Ops, Call of Duty - I've wiped out entire platoons in an afternoon. World of Warcraft - God knows how many.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Mr. Beal?

  Eric Beal : ...I don't have to bring a gun, do I? I don't think I could actually really kill someone.

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Heaven forbid. I have no intention of making you carry a weapon.

  [Eric sighs] 

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : Relax, Mr. Beal. This isn't rocket science after all... Well, actually, in this case, it is.

  [Hetty laughs] 

  Henrietta 'Hetty' Lange : You'll do fine. Nell will be listening in on you at all times.

  Eric Beal : "At all times?" What if I have to use the restroom? I have a shy bladder.

• Nell Jones : [to Eric's earpiece]  Sorry you almost got frelted.

  Eric Beal : I hate that word.

  Marty Deeks : She said "frelted," didn't she?

  [Kensi groans] 

  Marty Deeks : See Kensi? It's catching on.

  Kensi Blye : Yeah.

• Eric Beal : Couldn't have done it without you guys - especially you, Sam.

  Sam Hanna : Me?

  Eric Beal : Yeah. Well, after Callen told me how he found you puking your guts out in the bathroom before your went on your first undercover assignment, I figured - I could do this. No sweat.

  [Eric leaves] 

  Sam Hanna : I had food poisoning!

  G. Callen : Think of it as "truth reimagined for the greater good."
