Quotes

Chuck: My name is Charles Car…Chuck Bartowski. I’m here to see Vivian Volkoff.
Secretary: And what is this in regard to?
Chuck: She wants to kill me.

Sarah: Chuck, you’re a gift. You’re a gift I never dreamed I could want or need, and every day, I will show you that you’re a gift that I deserve. You make me the best person I could ever hope to be, and I want to spend and learn and love the rest of my life with you.

Casey: Your mom and I are the magnet. We’re gonna stay here and distract Decker. You two get out in the confusion. It’s the only way you’ll make it to Moscow.
Chuck: But Casey, they took the Intersect out of me.
Casey: Shut up. You’re Chuck Bartowski, the second best spy I’ve ever worked with. Now you’re gonna go save the best one.

Morgan (to Chuck and Sarah): By the power vested in me by the Intergalactic Federation of Planets, I now pronounce you husband and wife!

Chuck: We’re gonna get married and be together, forever. I love you.
