Chuck; Hi. I'm Chuck. Here are a few things that you might need to know.

Lester: As the assistant manager and your boss, it's my duty to inform you that I have had several complaints from customers about you.

Sarah; General, what exactly is the Cipher?

Beckman: The Cipher is the artificial brain for the new Intersect computer.

 Graham: Tomorrow, the new computer will be on-line, and Operation Bartowski will officially be over. ??

Enjoy the rest of your life, Chuck.

Sarah: You can do anything. I have seen you in action.

Anything you wanted, you could have.

Chuck: You want to go on a date sometime?

Sarah: Okay.

We have to call off the date. The Intersect was destroyed.

Chuck: What? But the Cipher...

 Sarah: It was a Trojan horse, a sabotage device.

The moment it came on-line...

You're still the only Intersect.

 Chuck: I don't get it.

This time today, I was supposed to be a free man.

No more Intersect.

Possibly reclining on a beach with a colada and some undisclosed companion.

What the hell happened?

Casey: It's technical.

Chuck: If it's a computer malfunction, maybe I can help?

You know that's my department.

Casey: It exploded into a million little pieces and Agent Graham with it.

You want to help, better get yourself some rubber gloves.

Chuck: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Graham is d*ad?

Casey: We're playing for keeps here, Chuck.

Chuck: Well, at the risk of sounding callous, where does that leave us with the new Intersect?

Casey: If I were you, I'd get used to working at the Buy More.

You ain't leaving anytime soon.

♪♪

 Lester: Gentlemen,  females, as the new assistant manager, I just want you to know that things are gonna run a little differently around here.

Because we did our time together in the trenches, I know what screwups most of you are.

For example, Jeffrey, you spend the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 sleeping in stall two of the employee bathroom.

Jeff: Dude, that was our secret.

Lester: Morgan?

Morgan: Oh, boy.

Lester: No more borrowing company DVDs and then just re-shrink-wrapping them.

Morgan: What? That's outrageous, man.

I've never heard of such a thing.

Yeah.

I'm actually insulted that you would...

Lester: Oh, but...

Morgan; Oh, no.

Oh, okay, like...

Okay, okay, company DVDs you're saying?

Right.

Right.

Lester: Please, call me Mr. Patel, or boss, or for our Latin friend, eljefe. Questions?

Morgan: Uh, Chuck, when are the we... ?

Lester: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

All questions addressed directly to me.

 Morgan; - El jefe?

Lester: Thank you.

Morgan: When are we offering our low-interest Buy More credit cards?

Lester: Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Today.

Today.

Morgan, get the displays out.

Any other questions? Good. Dismissed!

Chuck: I can't believe this is my life.

Morgan, do you remember a time when I actually had potential?

Morgan; Are you kidding me? Yeah, you were bursting with it.

Man, I'm glad that's over with.

I'm kidding. Come on, we all know that you're gonna go on to do great things, all right, great things, but until that day, just know that no matter how bad your life gets, you get to go home to that.

Chuck: Is that, uh...

Is that a real kiss or a cover kiss?

'Cause I'm confused right now.

Sarah: It's a "we have a national security emergency, and I need to speak to you privately" kiss.

Chuck; See, I knew I felt something...

Hey, I got an idea.

Why don't we blow off this whole national security thing, and go down to Mexico for a couple of days?

I'll get the daiquiris if the CIA picks up the plane tickets.

Coach is fine.

Sarah; Chuck, I told you we can't be together.

It's unprofessional.

Chuck : Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you with Bryce Larkin, super spy, when you two were working together?

Sarah: Bryce was a spy. You're an asset.

And my job is to protect you.

Chuck: Wait a minute. Why are we in a freezer?

All this to protect your toppings?

What the hell?

This is new. What is this place?

Casey: Well, CIA decided to spring for new digs.

Finally, a first-rate operation.

Chuck; Wow, Looks... expensive.

Does this mean you guys are planning on staying for a while?

Beckman: That depends on you, Chuck.

Chuck: How does it depend on me?

Beckman: Colt fed us a Trojan horse that blew up the Intersect.

The real Cipher is still out there.

Our intel tells us it may be in the possession of the former KGB operative, Sasha Banacheck.

We believe she's in town to sell it.

Casey: If we think she's got it, why don't we grab her and find out?

Beckman: Sasha Banacheck was in a Bulgarian prison for seven years.

They got nothing out of her.

The good news is one agent was able to get close.

He's the reason she went away, and he knows more about her than anyone alive.

That agent is Roan Montgomery.

Casey: Crap.

The guy hates me.

My supervisor in operative training. Flunked me twice.

Beckman: Well, he's off the grid now.

Use the Intersect to find Agent Montgomery.

Chuck: All right.

Guys, sounds like a blast.

Really, uh, but you can count me out on this one.

No more dangling me off of buildings, no more g*n being pointed at my head, no more putting my life in danger.

I am going back to my peaceful, quiet, albeit degrading life at the Buy More, so have fun on the mission, and really love what you've done with the place.

Beckman: Is there a problem with the asset?

Sarah: No problem, General. I have the situation under control.

Chuck, wait.

Chuck: Sarah, look, you're right, okay?

I'm not a real spy.

I'm not cut out for this adrenaline-pumping, chase-the-bad-guy, risk-life-and-limb daily existence.

Sarah: Okay, look, the sooner we get the Cipher back, the sooner you can have the Intersect removed, and the sooner you can be free to live whatever life you choose with whomever you choose.

Chuck; What are you saying?

Sarah: I'm saying that you can have everything that you've always wanted.

Chuck: Let me see the file.

Okay. Uh, the guy lives in Palm Springs.

He’s got a lot of lady friends. ??

Casey: Infiltrating and Inducement of Enemy Personnel.

Sarah: Yeah, in the academy, we call it Seduction School.

Casey: Yeah, like I need a class.

Wait. Someone's already been here.

Sarah: Yeah, and they ransacked the place.

It's not exactly every girl's dream.

No offense, Chuck.

Ellie: That is so sweet.

Honey, see, all I'm talking about is simply an evening of wining and dining.

Awesome: I hear you, babe.

Mission accepted.

 Beckman: The mission is the Cipher.

The brains of the Intersect, the most important piece.

Casey: If Sasha Banacheck has the Cipher, we got 24 hours max before she unloads it.

Beckman: What's wrong? Did you find Agent Montgomery?

Sarah: We did. It's just... he's having a bit of trouble remaining... upright.

Casey: Well, duty calls.

Roan: Not you, Agent Frankenstein.

Essentially, the last person in the world she'd ever suspect of being an agent.

Lester: Charles, I'd like to have these Nerd Herd invoices logged into the computer by later today.

Chuck; Uh, Lester, these are all from your jobs.

Lester: Correct, and during your brief tenure as the assistant manager, you should have had me deal with it.

You didn't. Now I have to clean up your mess.

Casey: Let's go, Lover Boy.

I need your services in a romantic capacity.

Sarah: So, your date tonight will be with Sasha Banacheck.

Chuck: Um, I'm sorry. What?

You mean previously tortured in a Bulgarian prison Sasha Banacheck?

Sarah: Don't worry. Casey and I will be there for cover.

Just approach her at the bar, and get her to invite you up, and see if you flash on anything in her room.

Chuck; One small problem.

Why is she gonna choose me?

Roan: Yes, Charles.

All right, the third prong.

Chuck: Yes.

Roan: Poor boy.

Lesson number one of being a spy: never fall in love.

Chuck: Well, then, I guess I'm not much of a spy.

And you're not much of a legend.

Listen to me very carefully. I'm trying to reach General Beckman.

My name is Chuck Bartowski.

What do you mean I'm not listed? Look, I'm a spy, all right?

Try my alias, Charles Carmichael.

I'm trying to contact General Beckman.

I need to speak with her before tonight.

Nothing? Yeah, of course nothing.

Just have General Beckman call me as soon as possible.

All right, it's an emergency.

Morning.

Awesome: Oh, hey, Chuck.

Chuck: What's going on?

Awesome: Some trouble on the home front.

I totally screwed up.

Went to Morgan for romance advice.

Chuck: Yeah, that's, uh, that's never a great policy.

?? Awesome: Yeah.

I've got to do something to make this up to your sis.

Chuck: What are you thinking about doing?

Awesome: What I should've done last night.

Cover this place in rose petals, roaring f*re, simple candlelit dinner, pecan pie.

Maybe give her a foot massage in the tub.

Chuck: That's a natural place, I think, to stop giving me details.

So why don't you?

Awesome: Well, when, you know?

I've got to be at work in like 20 minutes.

Got a 5:00 a. m. call tomorrow.

I'll do it. I just hope I'm not too late.

?? Lester: Charles.

Chuck: Where is everybody?

Lester: Oh, you mean your coworkers?

Chuck: Sure.

Lester: Yeah, we had little a disagreement last night, Charles, and some things needed to be done.

I fired the majority of the staff.

Chuck: You what? !

Lester: I'm d*ad! I'm d*ad! When Big Mike gets here, he's going to see there's no one in the store, then he's going to f*re me. Charles, you've got to help me, man.

How can I help you?

Lester:,Ask them to come back to work.

Chuck: Why don't you??

'Lester: Cause then they won't fear me!??

Michael! Michael!

So nice to see you, sir.

Big Mike: Gentlemen.

Something amiss, Patel?

Lester:,Morgan's on an errand, Anna's in the stockroom...

Big mike: I mean your vest.

Lester:,Huh? Oh, yeah.

It's in my locker. I was going to change right now.

Big Mike: And the manager's only donuts?

Lester: They're on your desk, sir.

Big Mike: Tight ship you're running, Patel.

Gentlemen.

Lester: Maybe he won't ever notice.

Chuck: Depends on how long it takes him to eat a box of donuts.

Right. ??

Lester: Thank you for coming.

What I didn't mention last night was that everybody gets one practice spin.

So in all fairness, I got to give Morgan here another sh*t, okay?

Here we go, come on now.

Anna: No one is spinning the wheel.

You want us back, you're going to have to make some changes around here.

Lester: Okay. Okay.

Labor negotiations are part of the process. Thoughts, musings?

Anna; We want two-hour lunch breaks.

Lester: No way.

Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay.

You got it, you got it. You drive a hard bargain.

What else?

Jeff: Unlimited bathroom time for both resting and relaxation.

Lester: Done.

Anna: And you spin the wheel.

Lester: Anna, Anna, I don't think that's necessary.

We were getting...

We're doing well here. I don't think that I...

Jeff: Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Lester: You don't even know what that means.

Anna: Yeah, diaper station duty!

Baby needs wipe. Baby needs wipe.

Nice, nicely done.

Oh, yeah, you just go ahead and bring that up to the front.

Roan: Mr. Bartowski.

Lovely cover they've got you working.

Perhaps you would like to elaborate on what you meant last night by "legend. "

Chuck; I meant what I said. You were great. Once.

Now, are you here to help, or are you just browsing?

Roan: I suppose that depends on what your plan is for tonight.

Chuck: My plan is to show up at the meeting spot and exchange the Cipher for Casey and Sarah.

Roan: You're determined to risk your life for these people?

Chuck: They do it for me.

Roan: Then perhaps we should revise your plan.

Come up with something that doesn't get us all k*lled.

Chuck: I'm open to that.

I have a package for Sasha Banacheck.

You need to sign.

Sasha: Hello?

Chuck: All right, here's how this is going to go down.

You want the Cipher, you play by my rules.

Meet me at 9000 Burbank Boulevard and bring the hostages.

It's her.

Roan: Answer it.

Chuck: Hello?

Oh, sorry, yeah.

You're just going to want to take the 5 North.

That's probably the easiest. You, you...

Burbank Boulevard exit, you're going to make a left at the light.

Sorry, just... you can find it.

Greetings!

I see you found your way.

Hope traffic wasn't too bad.

As you can see, I have the Cipher.

Once my friends are safely out of the store, I'll tell you where to find it.

It's been a pleasure working with you, and I wish you luck in all your future enterprises.

Remember, we'll always have Paris.

Sasha: Well... now that your saviour is trapped with the Cipher, I no longer need hostages.

So, good-bye.

Roan: I... wouldn't do that if I were you.

Sasha: Roan.

Roan: Hello, Sasha.

Sasha:,I should have k*lled you years ago.

Roan: Yes. Probably.

Would you please drop your g*n?

Bodyguard: Who the hell is that?

Casey: That is Roan Montgomery.

Sasha: Stand back, Roan... or I'll k*ll her.

Chuck: No, no, no, no.

Roan: Charles. Where are you?

Chuck: I'm on the roof.

Roan: Charles, remember Thailand?

Chuck: This is not time for one of your stories, Roan.

Roan: Remember Thailand!

Chuck: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. you were on the palace roof and you tied a bedsheet to...

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Roan: Charles, time to be a spy.

Chuck: I'm not. I'm not a spy.

Sasha: Bring me the Cipher right now or I'll k*ll her!

Chuck: I guess you got to die sometime.

It'd just be nice if it wasn't today.

Sarah!

Sarah: Chuck?

Chuck?

Are you okay?

Chuck: I'm fine. I'm fine. How are you?

Sarah: I'm fine.

Roan: Now, that's what I call a spy.

Big Mike: I ain't new.

Beckman: Excellent work, team.

Thanks to your efforts, we have the Cipher.

Casey: General, you should know that Chuck was invaluable on this mission.

Sarah: He also risked his life several times to save ours.

Beckman: Your country thanks you, Chuck.

Hopefully, we can now rebuild the Intersect and this nightmare can be over for you.

Have a nice day.

Chuck: Wait!

Actually, while I appreciate all of your kind words, if we're going to continue to coexist happily, I think that the government needs to start pulling their weight around here.

Beckman: What did you have in mind, Chuck?

 Awesome: Ellie, I just want to apologize again.

I know I may seem like Mr. Smooth, but the truth is, I don't have a million moves.

All I know is I love you.

Ellie: I don't need moves, Devon.

Just the fact that you're trying is enough.

Is that pecan pie?

I can't believe I fell for that! You're the sweetest man...

Awesome: No biggie, babe.

Chuck: Well, be sure to thank the CIA for me.

Sarah: It's our pleasure.

I suppose I should thank you for saving my life.

Chuck: Oh, you've done it for me a time or two.

I'm probably still in debt.

?? Sarah: I gotta admit that was pretty impressive.

Chuck: Right?

I mean, come on.

I-I know I'm just an asset, but, between the two of us, I mean, have you ever seen anyone do something like that before?

Sarah: I think it's safe to say, Chuck, that I've never seen anyone quite like you.

Roan: Well, Agent Casey, thanks for the accommodations.

Casey: Agent Montgomery.

Roan: The reason I failed you twice was that your partner at the time was too pretty to pass.

Should have failed her a few more times.

Casey: Should have known.

 Roan: Adieu, Agent Walker.

Sarah: It was a real pleasure, Agent Montgomery.

Well, I'll, um... I'll see you later, Chuck.

Roan: Let her go.

A great man once said it will give her the illusion of being pursued.

You trust me?

Chuck: Yeah.

Roan: Good.

Do you own a white dinner jacket?

Chuck: No.

Roan: Rent one.

Tonight you will show up with a bottle of Château Margaux, the dinner jacket, and a single red rose, known in several countries as the Montgomery.

Good-bye, Charles.

Chuck: Good-bye, Roan.

Roan: Hello, Diane.

Yeah, on my way to the airport.

Should be at Dulles by the morning.

Sarah: Chuck!

Hi.

Bryce: Hello, Chuck.

Chuck: Bryce?

Bryce:,Miss me?
