Undercovers Season 1 Episode 4 Quotes

Samantha: You know the goal of going undercover is being inconspicuous.
Leo: That's why I went balls out. No one questions the boss, guys. Also, you can't spell 'inconspicuous' without 'conspicuous.'

You could just ignore the issue. God knows it worked like a charm for my marriage. All three of them.
