Sarah: grins What?
Chuck: That all doesn't matter because when I look into your eyes I already know the answer.stands up and looking into her eyesListen…I'm not going to push you to verbally say yes…whenever you're ready. Like I said to you before…I'm a patient guy and if I have to wait till I am old, bald, with dentures, and start wearing long black socks with sandals in public…then so be it.

Chuck: 100...Sarah looks at him…okay 50/50…Sarah looks at him again…All right I was crossing my fingers hoping that Marcelina and Alexi would figure out they were in love with each other.

Chuck: snaps out of it Project Trojan Horse…Fulcrum's way of brainwashing innocent people to do their dirty work. They take unsuspecting people, place them in a room, and tell them to test out new prototype games, but what they're actually doing is implanting subliminal encoded message within their own version of a particular game to assassinate a specific target with a specific trigger word or phrase. Essentially, they create their very own disposable assassin.
Bryce: looks in amazement Extraordinary
Graham: looks at Bryce Extraordinary indeed Agent Larkin. Were you able to find who the possible target may be or a location for that matter?
Bryce: Negative…but I what I do know is its somewhere in Los Angeles.looks at ChuckI was hoping Chuck would help me since he's the super computer.
Abe: looks at Bryce No thanks to you.

Abe: rolls up sleeves I'll show you old...
Beckman: chimes in as she looks at Abe and Bryce Enough! looks at Chuck Mr. Bartowski…I want you to work with Agent Larkin and find out who the possible target could be.
