The Portrait [1.05] [After Neal charms a local art buyer working with the FBI] Peter: Have you ever met a woman who didn't— Neal: Brittney. Brittney Nicole. Second grade... I had a gap in my teeth.
- Expert on late European post-impressionists
The Portrait [1.05] Curator: You're an expert on Haustenberg? Neal: All the late European post-impressionists. Curator: I authenticated "young girl with locket" myself When it first entered our collection. You'll agree it's an excellent work, A bit sentimental for my taste, But the Matisse influence is apparent. Neal: Oh, well, considering Matisse was a fauvist, I wouldn't agree with that at all. Unless you're talking about his early work, Which i don't think you are, and if you are, you're just wrong.

[Copycat Caffrey 2.03] Peter: Mmm. Ever been on a campus? Neal: Not as a student. Peter: And yet you have three MBAs and two doctorates. Neal: Clearly something's wrong with the system.

[Copycat Caffret 2.03] Excerpt from a college criminology class Neal: Forger A new breed of forger, technological virtuoso with a classical artistic foundation. Suspected of art forgery, theft of the Antioch manuscripts, and convicted of bond forgery. Caffrey was suspected of hundreds of thefts before Agent Burke of the FBI apprehended him. His highly sophisticated schemes made it difficult for the FBI to follow his trail, along with his mastery of the arts made many of his crimes go unnoticed for many years, long after the trail was cold. He had a few accomplices, none on record, most of the time choosing to work alone, keeping the number of people that could turn on him to near zero. It is estimated that he forged over 10.3 billion dollars of priceless antiquities. Never the wiser, the FBI pursued him for six years and finally caught him.
- Neal's been a prince.
Burke's Seven [2.10] Sara Ellis: A prince, huh? Neal: I've been a prince. Sara: When was that? Peter: Yeah, when was that?
- He's good at most anything:
Stealing Home [3.15] [Neal, while undercover, hides a note for Peter under the stitching of a forged Babe Ruth baseball.] Jones: Caffrey took a real chance writing a message in that ball. Peter: Oh, Neal may be the expert in spotting forged paintings and bearer bonds— Diana: And gems... Jones: ...Antiquities, counterfeit money... Diana: ...Pretty much any kind of document. Peter: —Anyway, baseball's my thing.
- Neal is very diverse.
Wanted [4.01] Agent Collins: Neal Caffrey has twenty seven known aliases, he has a weakness for beautiful women and he runs. Peter: I guess he does.
- What would have happened...
Vested Interest [4.10]
Peter: You ever wonder what would've happened if I hadn't made you my C.I.? Neal: I'd still be in jail and your arrest rate would be in the low 70s. Peter: High 80s. Neal: Why did you take my deal? Peter: I told you, your expertise. Neal: That's all? Peter: I realized... all those crimes you were committing, they were never about money, or greed. Neal: What do you think they were about? Peter: The challenge. That's what we have in common. I love the challenge. Neal: I know you do. Peter: And after all those years of chasing you, your cryptic clues, your late-night phone calls from international numbers... Neal: Yeah, and the cookies, and birthday cards... Peter: Yeah. I realized I liked you. That's why I took your deal.
- Faked a couple deaths.
Vested Interest [4.10]
Neal: ...I may or may not have faked my death on multiple occasions -- Panama City, Bangalore. Peter: Monterey Bay. I remember -- gored by a great white shark. Neal: Thought you might appreciate that. Peter: Who doesn't love a good shark mauling?
- Neal, on his original artworks:
The Original [4.15] Neal [to James Bennett, his father]: You asked me why I don't have original art? I’ve had three different names and a dozen different aliases because of you. And to be an artist, you have to know who you are. At least one example [Need to know 2.02] exists that isn't a portrait used for identification purposes.
