The Covenant

Homeland 6×3

& Mina: Come on. There’s a killer view from the bedroom window.

& Saul: Don’t try to talk. You won’t be able to for a while. Probably a good thing, too. That way, we can skip all the formalities.

& Nafisi: I’m... I’m free to go?
    Saul: You can go, but you’re not free.

& Nafisi: Something you should know... Iran doesn’t want a nuclear weapon. It never did.
    Saul: Nonsense.
    Nafisi: It’s true. Three decades of sanctions were killing us. We had to find a way to get them lifted. So we started spinning centrifuges. That got some attention. So we spun some more. Even more attention. In the end, all we had to do was negotiate away a program we never wanted in the first place.

& Saul: Haven’t you driven enough people from their homes already? Bulldoze their villages, seized their property under laws they had no part in makin’?..

& Saul: Ah, yes. Promise. A covenant with God made thousands of years ago. Doesn’t that strike you as a form of insanity?

& Dorit: You don’t understand, Saul. You never have. I love the life that God has given me.
    Saul: How can you love making enemies? How can you love knowing that your very presence here makes peace less possible?
    Dorit: I have a family, a community, a life filled with faith and purpose. Saul... what do you have?

& Carrie: Really? He used that word, «conclusive»? .... Intelligence officers usually hedge their bets. It’s... It’s kind of an art form. We use phrases like «best judgment,» or, I don’t know, «degree of confidence.» That’s why when George Tenet said «slam dunk,» we all sat up in our chairs.
