Michael Kelly: Agent Burke
Quotes
-
Agent Burke : We know a lot about you, Mr. Diaz.
Noah Diaz : Who are you? Like, the CIA or FBI or...
Agent Burke : We are a secret government organization. Strictly off the books. We specialize in global threats. Planetary loss prevention, that kind of thing. We're in the middle of an ongoing war, and we'd love to have you join the fight. You and your whole team. You know, the big guys.
Noah Diaz : No idea what you're talking about.
Agent Burke : That's a good answer. All right. Either way, I want you to know, in lieu of the thanks of a grateful nation, we will be taking care of your brother Kris's healthcare. All of it. From now on, he will have 24/7 access to the greatest doctors in the world. And these are doctors who don't ask their patients about account balances.
Noah Diaz : Are you serious?
Agent Burke : You saved the world, kid. It's the least we can do.
Noah Diaz : I don't know what to say.
Agent Burke : We'll work on that.

Noah Diaz : Yeah, well, I just recently had a job working internationally.
Agent Burke : Oh, was that...
[giving Noah's résumé a glance]
Agent Burke : No, I don't think it's on here.
Noah Diaz : No, it-it was... it was a short-term contract.
Agent Burke : Oh, well, that's cool. Why don't you tell me about that?
Noah Diaz : It was in South America. So I got to work on my Spanish. My mom was real happy about that. You know what I'm saying? You know moms. She's just really... but while I was out there, honestly, man, it was really just like work, work, work, work, work, you know?
Agent Burke : Ah, that's a shame, 'cause I heard the food is really good in Peru.
