Quotes

Harvey: What the hell are you doing with Frank Gallo?
Mike: Harvey...
Harvey: Don't pretend like you don't know. He just left me a message asking me to make sure that you don't fuck him over.

Oliver: What are you doing here? Thought you weren't supposed to have anything to do with this anymore.

Oliver: Strap the hell in. 'Cause this motherfucker is going down.
