Quotes 

  • Michael Westen : [looking at the cache of weapons Fiona brought]  If we need more than this, we're doing something very wrong.

    Fiona Glenanne : Or something very right.

  • Madeline Westen : [Michael is sending her out of town for her own safety, but she is fighting him on it]  Michael, I'm not afraid!

    Michael Westen : I know you're not afraid, but I am.

  • [last lines] 

    Michael Westen : [voice-over]  When you work in intelligence, you get used to the idea that some information is worth risking everything for. You sign up for the lifestyle, or the chance to serve your country, or the millions of frequent-flier miles. But finally, it all comes down to putting your ass on the line to learn something.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  There are some fights you just can't win. A force can be so overwhelming that no tactical approach in a fight is going to lead to a victory worth having... When you can't win in a fight, sometimes you have to settle for making sure that if you lose, everyone loses. It works for nuclear weapons; it works for me.

  • Fiona Glenanne : It's been fun, Michael.

    [long pause] 

    Fiona Glenanne : At least this time we get to say goodbye.

    [kisses Michael on the cheek] 

    Michael Westen : [touches her cheek]  Thank you, Fi.

    [kisses her on the lips] 

  • Madeline Westen : [snorts]  I remember the time you stole your first car.

    Madeline Westen : [laughs]  Your Dad was off, God knows where, and I had to get Nate to the doctor. You must have been, what, twelve?

    Michael Westen : Ten. I remember. You were pretty angry.

    Madeline Westen : [laughs again]  I was also proud. You did, uh, a lot of things I didn't understand. But, you did them for the family... You know, Michael, I did too.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  A lot of people think the word commando means super-hero, or at least something close to it. In the popular mind, they're thought of as the ultimate elite soldier, the solution to every problem. The fact is, a commando is just someone trained to fight under a specific set of circumstances. He's the guy you send in when there are more bad guys than good guys, when surprise is the only advantage you can get in an operation. When it works, commandos seem unstoppable. Those are the operations that make the papers. When it doesn't work, commandos get killed just as dead as anyone else.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  A good trap doesn't scare people, it makes them curious. A speeding truck makes people scatter. A slow moving truck on the other hand, makes people want to take a closer look.

  • Barry : [answers his cell phone and hands it to Michael]  Uh, Mike, it's for you. Something about your burn notice?

    Michael Westen : [rolls eyes and takes phone]  Y'ello?

    Woman on Phone : Come out, come out, wherever you are.

    Michael Westen : [looking around cautiously]  Who's this?

    Woman on Phone : We need to talk, Michael. We've been trying to bring you in.

    Michael Westen : [still looking around]  Talk about what?

    Woman on Phone : Your past. Your future.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  The sticky bomb was originally developed in World War II for mining tanks. For the homemade variety, tile adhesive works best - sticky, water-proof, and it comes in an easily portable plastic bucket.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  In a hostage situation, you have to be cruel to be kind. The more you care, the more leverage they have. Like buying a car, you have to make them think you can walk away.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  One advantage of working with the same team is that secure communication is simpler. You don't have to work out a secret code. If you have enough history, the code is in every picture, every memento, every autographed leg cast.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  A warehouse door is going to be reinforced, but the walls aren't. And the areas under the windows don't have load bearing beams.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  In any operation, communicating silently is often essential. Chalk marks, an unusual arrangement of objects, anything that stands out from the background will do. A piece of cloth on a window...

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  For any operative, stashing weapons is second nature after a while. Spies hide guns like squirrels hide acorns. You never know when you'll need some firepower, or where you'll be when you need it.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  Choosing a cover I.D. on-the-fly is always a challenge. When there's no time to think, it's best to go with something simple that keeps your options open.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  Freon is available at most computer stores. Buy a can of screen duster, turn it upside-down, and you've got it in liquid form. It's cold enough to crystallize the metal in many commercial locks. A hammer can take care of the rest.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  Surveillance is a two-way street. If you know someone's looking for you, you've got an advantage. They follow *your* lead, go where they *think* you are.

  • Michael Westen : [voice-over]  Who drives armored cars? People who expect gun-fire. Usually people with some fire-power of their own.

  • [Michael needs the name and location of Sam's kidnappers] 

    Carmelo Dante : [chuckles]  And I should do this because...?

    Michael Westen : Because he's an importer, he sells to your competition. I put him out of business, and it's a win for both of us. And if you don't do what I want, I will rain hell down upon you until one of us is dead, and I am really, *really* good at raining down hell.

  • Michael Westen : Once we're clear of the traffic, you drop me off on the corner.

    Nate Westen : It's too late. You need me.

    Michael Westen : Nate, Sam and Fiona are being held by heroin smugglers, they've already killed two people.

    Nate Westen : Yeah, sounds like it's a bad time for me to bail.

    Michael Westen : No, it's a perfect time for you to bail!

    Nate Westen : Look, something happens to you, and Mom is on my ass forever! Okay? And not to get into your business, but it sounds like you could use the help.

    [Silence] 

    Michael Westen : Thank you.

    Nate Westen : You're welcome. Family first, right?

  • Michael Westen : You have a name for me?

    Carmelo Dante : The guy's name is Glenn Harrick. He has a boat on the river, near the 27th Avenue bridge. It cost me a lot of money to get that information.

    Michael Westen : You've just done yourself a great favor, Carmelo.

    Carmelo Dante : Do yourself one: don't let me see you again. You take care of this guy and you stay out of my way, we're good. If I ever see your face again, I'll kill you, bomb or no bomb.

    Michael Westen : Agreed.

  • Sam Axe : [after Michael rescues him from Harrick]  I thought I told you to stay away, Mikey. I tried to warn you.

    Michael Westen : I was never good at taking orders, Sam. That's why you were a soldier, and I was a spy.
