Quotes 

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  You need confidence and a can-do attitude to make it in the field. But if you don't have the physical strength to match your attitude, that confidence can just as easily get you killed.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : Excuse me, scumbag. You just picked the wrong guy to rob.

• Michael Westen : I wanted a closer look. I'm your biggest fan.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : A f- a fan?

  Michael Westen : My name is Gordon Letts and I've been following your work since the trial.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : [gesturing around]  I'm a photography student.

  Michael Westen : No. Your work. I read the papers. After this last thing on South Beach I just had to meet you. That's all. Please. Please put the gun down.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : I was acquitted at my trial. *I* did not do anything wrong.

  Michael Westen : Of course you didn't! You took out those degenerates. You are an inspiration. I could learn so much from you.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : I'm sure you could, Gordon.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : [raises the gun again]  But that's not gonna happen.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : [Dennis grabs Michael by his good arm to the door]  Now, *if* you come back, I *will* put another hole in you. But keep reading the papers, Gordon. There's more to love coming soon.

• Michael Westen : May I ask you something? Why do you do what you do?

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : It's in the genes, Gordon. It's a gift. Vision. When I see scum, I *have* to end them.

  Michael Westen : [slipping out of character]  I know the feeling.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : Take the other day, South Beach. I get a tip that a drug dealer, a gang leader, is going to be at a family restaurant. Well, who am I if I don't end him?

  Michael Westen : How do you feel about the people who... get in the way? The couple who died.

  Dennis Wayne Barfield : Casualties of war. It-it wasn't exactly what I'd intended, but radio detonators can be touchy: certain electronic devices get too close, and boom. Qué será.

• Dennis Wayne Barfield : You think these idiots realize how much water I carried for them, scraping all the filth off this planet? I guess no good deed goes unpunished.
