Helen of Troy, The face that launched a thousand ships

Tom Larsen : [to Olivia visiting him in prison]  I'm... I'm sorry. I don't... I don't mean to stare. It's just I don't get to look at you very often. Just look. I'm usually working, scanning the perimeter, protecting my president the way I do. I'm in the room, but I'm never in the room. You're usually in the corner of my eye. I've never seen you. And you are beautiful. The face that launched a thousand ships.

Tom Larsen : I've had so many questions for so long that I've been wanting to ask. I mean, what is it that is so special about you? You have so much power over him. He revolves around you. So, I don't understand. Why did you leave him?

Tom Larsen : I could protect him from everyone. Except you. I could never protect him from you, Ms. Pope. You are beautiful. But really, it's what's behind your eyes. I can see it. And you know they all love you. My president, Jake, Command, they all love you. And I can see it. I can see why. Helen of Troy. The face that launched a thousand ships. She didn't have a father, either. Her father was a god. 

This scene is too good to be forgotten. So I should post it to remind myself how good this scene is.
