20 Best Kate Macer Quotes

Reggie: Those are Special Ops. Are we going in on this?

Kate: Oh, give me a fucking break.
Matt: All right, we'll get you some extra gear.

Matt: All right. Good. You guys will hang back when we get there, okay?
Kate: Then why are we going?

Kate: So, that's it. That's why I'm here.

Kate: Un-fuckin' real!

Alejandro: Nah, he's no assassin. He just wanted to know what you know. They're after us, not you.

Burnett: How familiar are you with Manuel Diaz's operation?

Burnett: Manuel Diaz works for the Sonora Cartel. He's most likely their senior member in the United States.
Matt: What do you know about his brother?
Kate: I wasn't aware he had one.
Matt: Guillermo. His brother's name is Guillermo. Do you know anything about his cousin?
Kate: I didn't know he had one of those, either. None of that is in his file.
Burnett: His cousin is Fausto Alarcon.

Matt: Medellin refers to a time when one group controlled every aspect of the drug trade, providing a measure of order that we could control. And until somebody finds a way to convince 20% of the population to stop snorting and smoking that shit, order's the best we can hope for. And what you saw up there, was Alejandro working toward returning that order.
Kate: Alejandro works for the fucking Colombian Cartel.
Matt: He works for the competition. Alejandro works for anyone who will point him toward the people who made him. Us. Them. Anyone who will turn him loose. So, he can get the person that cut off his wife's head, and threw his daughter into a vat of acid. Yeah. That's what we're dealing with.

Kate: Is he CIA? Are you?
Matt: He's a DOD advisor, just like me.
Kate: No, he's not.
Matt: Just pay attention to Alejandro, and if he says to do something, just do it.

Matt: Fine. Then stay here. But you don't want to, do you?
Kate: I just wanna know what I'm getting into.
Matt: Kate, you volunteered to get on this train because you... you know you're doing nothing in Phoenix. Yeah, you're just sweeping up a fucking mess. In six months, every single house you raid will be rigged with explosives. Do you want to find the guys responsible? Yes or no?
Kate: [quietly] Yes.
Matt: Yes?
Kate: [louder] Yes!
Matt: This is where we start.

Kate: [after an illegal gun battle] What am I doing here?
Matt: What you're doing here is you're giving us the opportunity to shake the tree and create chaos. That's what this is! In the meantime, just sponge everything up you see. Learn! That's why you're here.

Reggie: Gotta get you a new bra, woman.
Kate: The list of things I need.
Reggie: I'm just saying, you know, some nice, lacy something.

Kate: Where were you sent from?
Alejandro: Cartagena.
Kate: Colombia.

Kate: Are we going to Tucson?

Matt: She's fine.
Reggie: I didn't ask you.
Matt: And yet I answered...

Kate: You used me as bait.
Matt: Nah, you used yourself as bait.

Kate: What's our objective?

Matt: [after a gunfight with Mexican cartel soldiers] Got a little nutty, huh?
Kate: Nutty? Yeah, yeah, that was fucking illegal. You wanna start a war? You're a fucking spook! And-and him! I mean, who the fuck is that?
Matt: Told you, you could stay here.
Kate: Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ, you just spray bullets at... and, yeah, sure, there's just fucking civilians everywhere. I'm not a soldier! This is not what I do!
Matt: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look, don't sell yourself short, all right? The reason Reggie's home is I know he wasn't ready for this. But he better get ready real quick because this is the future, Kate! Juarez is what happens when they dig in.

Reggie: [sitting in a bar] Look at you. Your eyebrows are a mess.
Kate: [hiding her face] No, they're not!
Reggie: They're like caterpillars, like wild beasts. You're losing weight.
Kate: I'm eating.
Reggie: Look at you. What is it, one T-shirt a week? At least work on your personal hygiene, huh?
Kate: You sound like my mother.
Reggie: Maybe I *am* your mother. First we work on personal hygiene, then we move on to the shopping.

Reggie: [Kate learns why she was assigned to the task force] Kate, come on. Fuck these people, man. They've been using us from the beginning. We don't have to do this.
Kate: I need to know what they used us for.
Reggie: Doesn't matter what!
Kate: Yes, it does!
Reggie: I say we walk. We walk and make them eat this whole fucked-up operation.
Kate: No. I have to know.

Matt: Hey, Kate, you got any friends at Phoenix SWAT?

Kate: What does that mean?
Dave: They need an agent with tactical experience, like you.
Burnett: State Department is pulling an agent from the field that specializes in responding to escalated cartel activity. You'll be part of the team. You'll meet up with them at Luke, uh, tomorrow?
Matt: Day after. Early.
Kate: Air Force Base?
Matt: Yeah, we're gonna go see Guillermo.
Kate: Diaz's brother?
Matt: That's the one.

Reggie: There's "in the dark" and there's the way you're treating us. I want to know the objective or I walk, period.
Matt: Then go. I didn't ask you to be here.
[pointing to Kate]
Matt: She did.
Kate: I walk, too.
Matt: What do you wanna know?
Reggie: Everything.
Matt: Fuckin' lawyers. All right. Guillermo told us about a tunnel east of Nogales, near Sasabe. Now we're tryin' to find out what areas near there migrants avoid so we can find the tunnel. That better?
Reggie: And Guillermo is...
Kate: And Guillermo, he just told you where the drug tunnel is? He just told you?
Matt: Guillermo didn't have any other options. We send him back across the border, he's a dead man. Now he gets to spend the next 30 years in an American prison in relative safety.
Reggie: Just tell us the truth, man.
Matt: We are gonna make enough noise that Manuel Diaz is called back to Mexico to see his boss. That's the truth.
Reggie: And then?
Matt: And then we know where his boss is.
