Chuck vs the Lethal Weapon

Chuck,  Sarah and Casey learn about a man called “Perseus” who is behind Fulcrum’s plans to build their own Intersect. While Sarah and Casey are sent to find Perseus, Chuck and Agent Cole Barker are forced to stay in a safety bunker. When the mission takes a dangerous turn, their orders to stay out of harm’s way go out the window. Meanwhile, Morgan tries to convince Anna that moving in with him would be a bad idea.

Trivia

Morgan’s line of  “laugh it up, fuzzball” is from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, when Chewbacca finds Leia’s mocking of Han Solo similarly amusing.

Chuck’s line of “sweep the leg” is a reference to The Karate Kid, when Daniel’s rival is ordered to do so in the final match.

Quotes

Anna: (to Morgan) A life together is the best present ever. And when we move in, I’m gonna show you your mother isn’t the only one who can be noisy in the bedroom.

Casey: We’re dead, Bartowski’s got a gun.

Chuck: Making, uh, making a list, are you? And of what may I ask?
Ellie: Ah, where should we begin? Maybe that tron poster that you’ve had since you were 12.
(Devon laughs)
Chuck: Dad gave me that poster.
Ellie: …I know. He loved that movie.

Cole: Just doing my job, General. Actually Chuck, showed great courage on this mission. He got injured in the line of duty.
Casey: He got clipped by a window sill. It’s as pathetic as it sounds.

Cole: I have to say Chuck, you are truly the most… special agent I’ve ever worked with.
Casey: Heh. Special.
