Sam: There you are. I've been looking all over for you. Is Fi –
Michael: I was too late, Sam.
Sam: Look, Mike, you can't blame yourself. I mean, there was nothing you could do. It wasn't like any of us could stop her.
Michael: And what about you, Sam?
Sam: What are you talking about?
Michael: You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Sam: No -- I don't.
Michael: You expect me to believe she knocked you out. How is that possible? [grabs Sam forcibly] How is that possible!
Sam: Mike, come on, man. What do you want me to say? Okay. Yeah, yeah, maybe I could have fought her off. That's right. But did it ever occur to you that maybe she was right? You were losing yourself, Mike! You were selling out everything you ever fought for!
Michael: I was fighting for her!
Sam: By burning spies? Mike, you were betraying your friends. You were about to betray your God damned government.
Michael: What do I do now, Sam? What do I do? I've just been fighting for so long, Sam, and she was all I had left.
Sam: Now you're just going to have to fight a little more.

Fiona: I want to see the photos again.
Jason Bly: Why do you want to torture yourself like that?
Fiona: They were his last moments. Please.
Jason Bly: Michael lived a dangerous life and it ended tragically, but now you have a chance to live yours.
Fiona: You said that the fuel tank was punctured?
Jason Bly: Yes. It ignited and that was it. He never had a chance.
Fiona: No. No, the sides of the cab would have been blasted off in a pressurized explosion. The doors are still on the hinges. This wasn't an accident. It looks more like a roadblock. You're a liar. Michael's alive.
Jason Bly: How could you possibly know that from looking at a photo?
Fiona: I know explosions, I know Michael, and I know that we are done here.
Jason Bly: I hope that this business relationship that you have with Michael is worth it, because from the way it looks, you're going to die for him.

Fiona: [voice-over] I don’t expect to make many friends here, but then I’ve never made friends easily anyway. At least I have a little privacy. I’m not in the yard. At meals or on work duty I’m housed in a unit for violent offenders, alone. It reminds me of the first time I lost you in Ireland. I’d see you in my dreams and then I would wake up and you were still gone. The dreams hurt but they were all that kept me going. They did then and they do now. Love, Fi.

Michael: I need to see Fiona Glenanne.
Tom Card: This is all about your girlfriend? I heard about that situation.
Michael: Trust me, she's innocent.
Tom Card: Look, just do yourself a favor and walk away.
Michael: Not with this. I can't.

Fiona: [upon seeing Michael for the first time in weeks through prison glass] Now you see why I never wear orange.
Michael: [trying to smile, but crying] You look beautiful. I'm going to get you out. I promise you that. We're getting close. The C.I.A. –
Fiona: I love you too, Michael. We don't have much time. I don't want to talk about that.
Michael: You know what I was thinking about the other day? That little, dingy bar in Belfast, the Black Sand Pub.
Fiona: You mean when we met.
Michael: And I made the mistake of asking, [takes on Irish brogue] "Would you like to dance?" and you pulled a snub-nosed revolver on me.
Fiona: That I did, and you said?
Michael: I assume that means yes.

Fiona: This is wonderful. I wasn't sure I'd ever see another sunrise. Thank you for not giving up.
Michael: Consider it payback for the thousand times you've never given up on me.
Fiona: We should go. Sam will be waiting.
Michael: Fi, this could get bad. I want you to sit this out.
Fiona: What?
Michael: You already went to prison to protect me. This -- this won't be easy.
Fiona: Okay. And?
Michael: Have you ever thought you deserve better than this?
Fiona: Michael, all I wanted was to be by your side. I'm not leaving it again.
Michael: I've missed you, Fi.
Fiona: Good.

Burn Notice Quotes - Season 5

Do you have a quote to add? E-mail it to princess041104@gmail.com.

Fiona: How was the job?
Michael: The job was good.
Fiona: I missed you.
Michael: Yeah, I got that. I think you broke a rib.

Max: Is this seriously the way you do things?
Michael: When I have to.
Max: How are you still alive?
Michael: That's a good question. [fires three shots] I eat a lot of yogurt.

Fiona: When you got burned, it wasn't just you. These last four years have been hard on all of us.
Michael: I know. I know, and I'm really sorry about that, but we are so close to wrapping this up and then I can move on.
Fiona: I hope you find what you're looking for, Michael. I really do. Then we can all move on.

Michael: [voice-over] As a spy, you get used to people having whispered conversations about you. It's a little like being in high school. But when people are whispering about you in algebra they're a lot less likely to try and kill you afterward.

Fiona: Hoping to scare off that lone-shark with your shirt?!
Michael: It's part of the Nate Westen collection. It won't get into my regular rotation, I promise.
Fiona: I should hope not.

Michael: [voice-over] People tend to think spies are motivated by love of the game, desire for adventure or patriotic fervor. The truth though, is that you don't choose a life as a covert operative unless something deeper is going on beneath the surface. Something more personal, something harder to explain and something a lot more painful.

Michael: We rip off Carmelo and leave Sam behind as a witness to the heist. He questions him. [to Sam] You steer him towards the Serbs. We play it right he hunts for his heroin and finds our drone instead.
Fiona: And if we don't play it right, we find out if Sam is bulletproof.

Jesse: How many bangers we got inside?
Fiona: Three. Shouldn't be too hard for me to sneak past them.
Jesse: Hmm. Uh-huh, or, you know, I could go in and you could stay out here, because –
Fiona: If you're about to say because I'm a woman, I'm going to knock your teeth down your throat.

Michael: We're going on a boat ride with this guy? I thought it was just lunch.
Madeline: This guy's name is Ben. And it's not just any boat. It's the new glass-bottom boat that they're running out of Coconut Grove.
Fiona: Go easy on him, Madeline. He still doesn't know that some couples do things besides fight multinational conspiracies.

Agent Pearce: [referring to Michael's plan] That is, bar none, the craziest play I have ever heard in the field.
Jesse: Well, you don't hang out with him enough.

Fiona: Do you know what kind of girlfriend drives all the way to Tallahassee to search a crusty old man's equally crusty apartment?
Michael: A good girlfriend!
Fiona: A great girlfriend. The kind of girlfriend that deserves dinner at The Forge.
Michael: Point taken. How about two dinners?

Fiona: [twirls in her new dress] How does the discretionary fund look?
Michael: Expensive.

Michael: Shall we tango?
Fiona: Let's.
Michael: Can I lead?
Fiona: Fine. Just this once.

Michael: They got you too?
Fiona: [lifts handcuffed wrists] Picked me up at the bridge. I heard what was going on and asked if I could say goodbye in case –
Michael: Hey, an hour ago I was on my way to jail for the rest of my life. How much worse is this really?
Fiona: The man is ruthless! He killed one of his own people to avoid capture. You won't even have a gun!
Michael: The only way I'm going to get out of this is if I get Tavian to talk. I can't ask anyone else to risk their life for this.
Fiona: Michael, come back to me.

Michael: [voice-over] For a spy, finding out you've been compromised, that someone has something on you, is the ultimate nightmare. The worst part for someone who has spent a career training for every situation is knowing that there is nothing you can do but grit your teeth and try to find out exactly how bad the nightmare is going to be.

Michael: [voice-over] For a spy, the worst thing that can happen is to become someone else's asset. You do anything you can to avoid it, making sure there's nothing people can grab onto and use as leverage. You move through life unattached, keeping the world at a distance. It's a hard way to live, but there's a cold logic to it. Love nothing, and nothing you love can be used against you. Once you violate that rule and make that connection with someone, you've handed your enemies the key to destroying you.

Michael: [voice-over] For a spy, loyalty is a strange thing. Your job is to deceive, to live among your enemies, to perform dark deeds for a noble purpose. And it's that purpose that guides you through the darkness. When you lose sight of that, the darkness is all there is.

Michael: Sometimes betrayal is as easy as pushing a button. The hard part is being able to live with yourself after you've done it.

Michael: [voice-over] There's nothing quite like searching the home of someone you care about for evidence they've betrayed you. It's something spies have to do regularly, even with the people they love the most. It's never easy searching for something as hard as you can and praying you find nothing at all.

Fiona: I should disappear. You'll be able to bring Anson down.
Michael: And you'd keep running for the rest of your life. Not after all this. I am not losing you, Fi.

Michael: What do you want? What do you want me to say, Fi? I'm doing this for you.
Fiona: Stop. Just stop. There has to be a line.
Michael: There is no line when it comes to you!
Fiona: I can't do this anymore. We can't do this. Let's just go. We'll go to the FBI, and I'll turn myself in. I'll make them understand.
Michael: They won't understand us. We start down that road, we can't come back. And I'll lose you. And I can't lose you.

Fiona: [in goodbye letter] Even before I knew your real name, I loved you. Before I should have, I trusted you. Because I've always known your heart. You do what's right, no matter the cost to you. And I've learned that when you love a spy, you have to be willing to make that sacrifice, too. At times, your job has made it hard to be with you, but it's never shaken my faith in you. I can't let you ruin anyone's life to save mine. I have to force you to tell what you know. If you don't, you won't be the man I love. Do the right thing. I love you, Michael. Forever.

Burn Notice Quotes - Season 4

Michael: Don't make a move unless things go bad.
Sam: And if things go bad?
Michael: Well, it was nice seeing you guys again.

Michael: Guys, guys! I have a loaded machine pistol in my hand and I have no idea what I'm doing!

Lee: So when we find Jesse we're suppose to just, what, share him?
Michael: [as cover ID Mr Turner] That's what we learned in kindergarten.

Michael: [voice-over] First contact with the police is critical: it can mean the difference between the start of negotiations or the start of an armed assault.

Michael: [answers the phone] Fi.
Fiona: Lucky you, Michael. You're sitting on the money. Nick has a floor safe under the carpet in the conference room. Just crack open that puppy and come on our with your hands up.
Michael: It won't be that easy, Fi. Sam and I are on the hook as accomplices now.
Fiona: Seriously, Michael? You have to stop doing favors for Sam. Have you requested a getaway vehicle?
Michael: It's on the way.
Fiona: Well, you're going to need a diversion, and judging from the police turnout it's going to have to be a big one.
Michael: Fi, if there ever was a time to pull out all the stops, this is it.
Fiona: Michael, I never thought I'd hear you say those words. [hangs up and opens her trunk, speaking to the con-artist tied up in it] Move over. You're lying on my C4.

Kendra: Why are you after me?
Michael: And here I was think it was the other way around. Why don't you come back down so we can have a nice little chat?
Kendra: A little chat with a guy who tried to grab me in an alley?
Michael: A couple of days ago you tried to kill me.
Kendra: Touché.

Fiona: I wish our phone conversations were as flirty.
Michael: She threatened to kill me.
Fiona: I can do that.

Jesse: [loading a van] Another bag? What, is this every explosive you own?
Fiona: Ha! You don't know me very well.

Michael: [voice-over] Interrogating a hostile witness is like proposing marriage. You want to get it right the first try. So you don't settle until you find the perfect spot. You take special care to set the right ambiance and set the mood. And then you wait for the best moment to pop the question.

Jesse: [dragging a trunk with a captive in it] Even a day at the beach isn't a day at the beach with you people.

Fiona: [after Jesse hits Russian spy with pistol] This was my idea! I should have gotten to hit him!

Fiona: [slaps Michael] You know what I did tonight? I destroyed evidence that would have led Jesse to finding out you burned him.
Michael: Thank you. [stops Fiona from slapping him again] Fi. Fi! What we're doing is worth it. This is bigger than one person's career. There's so many people out there –
Fiona: I can't stand lying to Jesse. I can't stand watching you keep this secret like it's nothing! I can't stand what you're turning into.
Michael: Which is what?
Fiona: Someone who only cares about the idea of people. He doesn't give a damn about the ones who have his back every single day.
Michael: You know me better than that.
Fiona: I used to think so.

Sam: Where there's smoke, there's Fi.

Fiona: Sometimes you have to be your own white knight.

Jesse: Just goes to show. Payback is a...
[Fiona enters, very disheveled]
Michael: Fiona...
Fiona: You should see the other guy.

Madeline: Jesse, this might be one of those things. Fiona and Michael love each other and they hate each other, but it's always each other.

Michael: [voice-over] In the jungle, the first warning that a predator is approaching is silence. When violence is imminent, animals instinctively know that keeping quiet and still is their best shot at survival. Prison's a lot like the jungle. Silence is not a good sign. Averted eyes, stockpiled food, and guys wearing heavy coats on a warm day also indicate trouble's on the way.

Fiona: [referring to Michael's prison uniform] That's not a great color on you.
Michael: Great to see you too, Fi.

Michael: [voice-over] Every environment has its rules and customs, and your survival often depends on knowing them. In Russia, you never refuse vodka, in Pakistan, you always clear your dinner plate, and in prison, you're careful about making eye contact. Too little eye contact, and you become a victim. Too much eye contact, and you become a threat. Either way, you're never more than a couple of blinks away from getting a shiv in your back.

Michael: [voice-over] Spies spend plenty of time with sociopaths and criminals, but sometimes it's even more dangerous to hang out with their victims. Letting your emotions get the best of you can threaten the entire operation.

Fiona: You smoked an entire pack in an hour. You have any idea how bad that is for you?
Madeline: It's probably better for my health than waiting around for some burned spy with a grudge.

Michael: [voice-over] One simple but effective trick for identifying a tail is known in the spy trade as running errands. You drive to different locations and stop, going about ordinary business in areas with open parking lots while your team follows, keeping track of the cars at each stop. It doesn't matter how good your tail is. At a certain point, they're going to pop up more than once.

Jesse: I don't know what you just volunteered me for. I'm not getting mixed up in anything Michael's got going on.
Fiona: Jesse, we lied about what we did to you. We didn't lie about who we are.

Vaughn: One minute. Then you never have to see me again, ever, if you don't want to.
Fiona: Next time you show up unannounced, nobody will ever see you again.

Fiona: [referring to Natalie] I still hate that we're going on this heist with her.
Michael: Fi, we can't always pick our teammates in the field.
Fiona: I am not a spy. I can't pretend someone doesn't make my skin crawl.

Michael: [voice-over] National intelligence agencies and local law enforcement work together more often than you might think. Most metropolitan police stations have an office called a fusion center where classified intel is collected in one place. It's a great resource if you need information fast. Unfortunately, it does involve breaking into a police station.

Michael: I thought you hated the idea of me working for the government again.
Fiona: Oh, I do. But I want you to have a choice.
Michael: You want me to have the choice, but you want me to choose to turn it down? Either way, don't we end up at the same place?
Fiona: Michael, I hope you're never in a situation where your survival depends on your ability to understand relationships. You'll be dead in seconds.

Michael: [voice-over] A career in law enforcement tends to make for a cynical outlook on life. Where spies spend their careers telling lies, cops spend their careers listening to them.

Michael: [referring to Vaughn] His organization has never faced this kind of exposure before. I imagine he'll marshal all of his forces and send them this way.
Sam: So, the gates of hell will open...
Jesse: The apocalypse will be upon us...
Fiona: And everyone we know and love will be in danger of becoming very dead.
Madeline: So what else is new?

Michael: Everything okay, Fi?
Fiona: We used to talk about where we were going, what we wanted our lives to be. And now the only time we talk about our future is when someone's coming to end it.

Jesse: Listen to me: if you go back out there, you know what's going to happen.
Fiona: Yeah, I'm going.
Jesse: What happened to all that wisdom about you and Mike having different priorities?
Fiona: Well, screw wisdom! I belong out there with him, for better or worse.
Jesse: It's probably going to be for worse.
Fiona: Well, I knew that the moment I met him. Goodbye, Jesse.

Fiona: I want to know what this means in the end. Who wins? 'Cause honestly, I feel, however this turns out, I lose.
Michael: Maybe this isn't your fight, Fi. Just because it's my path doesn't mean it's yours.

Burn Notice Quotes - Season 3

Michael: Just because you can escape, doesn't mean you should.

Fiona: Patricia, I want you to try something. It's a relaxation exercise I do in situations like this. I want you to close your eyes and breathe deep. Picture a peaceful mountain stream, can you do that? Now picture yourself drowning the kidnapper in the stream. You're taking a rock from the stream and raising it above your head, and with tremendous force you're bringing—
Michael: Fi!

Fiona: Getting shot sounds noble until it actually happens to you. Don't volunteer for it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Michael: [Voiceover] To tail someone, you need both skill and instinct. You need skill because the driving is tough; you can't get too close and you can't drift too far away. You can't go too fast or too slow. You need instinct because every turn, every lane change, every bridge raises the risk of being seen. Anyone can be trained to follow a car, but it takes good instincts to know when it's time to stop following.

Brennen:One more thing. While you're in there, phone a friend, write an email, update your facebook status. I honestly don't care, as long as you remember what really matters here. I don't get what I want, and your brother dies.

Brennan: You're not this good, nobody's this good!
Michael: Yes, I am.

Michael: [Voiceover] When you're being followed by the police, it's important to remember that having cops around is a problem for criminals, but it's an even bigger problem for a detective trying to remain inconspicuous on a stakeout.

Michael: [Voiceover] Finding a way into a criminal organization is about observing social dynamics. You start with a target. You're looking for just the right person to approach. People in the inner circle are usually too tough to go after. Anyone with real power is bound to be cautious. Drivers and bodyguards are easier, but they usually don't have real access. You want someone with enough juice to be hungry for more; someone desperate to make a move. In short, you're looking for a frustrated middle manager.

Michael: [Voiceover] To the educated eye, a prison tat tells a story: where you did time, why you did time, and who you did it with. It's a little like a job resumé for criminals.

Michael: Wow. That's like two days worth of yogurt.
Fiona: Either that's a brilliantly disguised bomb or somebody knows the way to your heart.

Sam: That guy is more afraid of Checik than he is of us. We're going to have to squeeze him harder.
Fiona: If by squeeze you mean choke...
Sam: He can't talk if he can't breathe, Fi.
Fiona: He can whisper. I have good hearing.

Fiona: Well, in my experience, if something seems to good to be true, it's best to shoot it just in case.

Michael: I told the kid I would help. If you want to sit this one out, you can.
Sam: No, no. I get it. Little kid, abusive dad, it kind of hits home, so I'll give you that one. But when the time comes to rescue a bunch of rich women trapped in a brewery, you better step up. So she's in there with Fiona?
Michael: Yeah. The idea was that she'd feel more comfortable talking to a woman.
Sam: I'm not sure if Fi counts, Mike.

Fiona: [after having faked being killed in a shootout] Nice fall, Shakespeare.
Sam: Oh, you should talk. You looked like you got hit by an arrow.
Fiona: What are you talking about? A 9 mil at this range?

Fiona: Michael, I know I said I would go along with you on this job, but I don't want you to work with Strickler. Not now, not ever. I can't help you with this.
Michael: It's a two person job. I need you.
Fiona: I've seen the site. You can handle yourself. I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about you. Working with someone like Strickler, it changes you, little by little.
Michael: He's the only one that can get me back in. What do you want me to do?
Fiona: You do what you have to do. I understand. I just can't stay here in Miami and watch. [walks out of the apartment] 
Michael: Fi. Fi! Fiona!

Michael: [Voiceover] There's no greater luxury in the field than working with a friend you rely on. When you find someone you can trust absolutely, you want them on every operation you do, and nothing hurts worse than losing a friend to bullets, politics or something personal. But when you have to work alone again, you lock those feelings away and do the job at hand, because as every spy knows, there's time to think about what you've lost after the mission is over.

Michael: [V.O.] When you work as a covert operative, there's no line between who you are and what you do. You are who you need to be for the operation. It makes you effective, it keeps things simple. But when you spend so much time living with someone else, sometimes the people you care about most begin to wonder who you really are.

Strickler: You don't get to have the job and the girl! She doesn't fit into your future, our future! So why don't you do yourself a favor and forget the past?!
Michael: Fiona is not my past. [shoots him]

Michael: Sam, if anything happens to me—
Sam: Oh, I'm finishing this, brother. I'm getting Fi out of there no matter what. Just don't tell her I said that.

Michael: [V.O.] When you realize that an operation is compromised, that your enemies are on the move, you're on the clock. You have to move as fast as you can to contain the damage and harden your defenses before it's too late. Sometimes you make it in time, and sometimes you don't. When you work in intelligence, the worst feeling in the world is knowing nothing. Being caught in something you don't begin to understand, because it's not the enemy you see that gets you. It's the one you don't.

Fiona: I'm working on a listening device for your meeting with Ryan later. Would you care to join me?
Michael: I would love to.
Fiona: You know, after the other day I never did get the chance to say— well, not that I have any doubt in my mind that I would have saved myself eventually, and I still think that your tactical approach was a little iffy, but you and Sam, you did come back for me. You gave up a lot to come back for me, whether I needed it or not.
Michael: You're welcome, Fi.
[Silence; they nearly kiss]
Fiona: Watch it. You're getting solder on my transmitter.

Fiona: Ooh he called him a 'pendejo', it's like idiot but ruder.

[Sam is undercover as a Miami Police Department CSU tech, at the site of a fashion designer's killing.]
Sam: Looks like murder... [takes out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on] ...is in style this season.
[Later, under the same circumstances]
Sam: Looks like the killer's plan... [takes out the sunglasses again and puts them on] ...is coming apart at the seams.

Fiona: For your sake, Michael, I hoped you were dead. I can put up with a lot, but four calls without so much as a text back?! That just puts me right to the edge!

Gabriel: I think you'll recognize this, it's your file from Interpol. Tell me something, why does a nice Catholic girl with no apparent interest in politics, no history of violence, decide to join the IRA and blow up cars all over Belfast?
Fiona: We didn't have girls soccer?

Simon: I want my life back!
Michael: Fine. It's yours. Take it.

Michael: [V.O.] Work in intelligence long enough, you hang on to phone numbers. No matter who your enemy is there's a chance you'll need them tomorrow. Churchill and Stalin weren't chummy in 1941, but once the Nazis marched on Moscow they got past their differences.

Madeline: I know this: if Michael wanted to kill you, you'd be dead. I know exactly who my son is!

Simon: It's only a matter of time, now, until you're just like me. [laughs] Just like me. Just...like...me.

Burn Notice Quotes - Season 2

Do you have a quote to add? E-mail it to princess041104@gmail.com.

Michael: [V.O.] A great way to get people talking about their security is to put them on the defensive. Accuse a guy of having bad locks and before you know it he's telling you where his motion detectors are.

Michael: [V.O.] When you're claiming to be someone you're not, the key is commitment. You've got to sell it like your life depends on it, because sometimes it does. One reason to work with the same people is you know each other's moves, so if you shoot at your team in the middle of an operation, they know to go with it.

Michael: Seems the people who burned me want me for a job. For now, that's all I got.
Sam Axe: A job? Does it pay?
Michael Westen: More of a "we'll kill you if you don't do it" type of thing.
Sam Axe: Ah. Never liked those.

Michael: [V.O.] When you work as a spy, it's easy to think of people as assets. Resources to accomplish a goal. Because you don't have a personal relationship with an asset. You don't care about an asset. You don't miss the scent of an asset when she leaves the room.

Michael Westen: [V.O.] If you wanna make a friend, solve a problem for them. No problem to solve? Create one.

Michael: That stalker happens to have a MAC-10 in his jacket! Oh— you knew, didn't you?!
Sam Axe: Mike, look, I did a little pre-scouting; I knew he was packing, but I didn't know he had a MAC-10. I thought it was, like... a regular gun.

Michael: [V.O.] Most people think distracting a group of guys is best done by a beautiful woman. The problem with beautiful women is people want them to stick around, which can cause a lot of problems. Obnoxious guys, they just want to get rid of.

Michael: Fi, get me a sniper rifle and some C4.
Fiona Glenanne: Oh, I like where this is going.

Michael: Mom, I gotta get to work, actually. Uh, what is it you need?
Madeline Westen: Well, I can't find my salad spinner.
Michael: That is tragic.

Fiona Glenanne: Zeke is one careful con-man. He's security conscious, he's smart... smooth, too, in a cheesy, Sam kind of way.
Sam Axe: Hey, smooth is smooth, baby.

Waseem: [quoting from Michael's note] "I will be wearing a white shirt and..." [laughs] This word right here? It is a kind of... spicy goat cheese.
Michael: I was trying to say "black pants". My Urdu's a little rusty.
Waseem: At least you got the name of the restaurant right.

Michael: [V.O.] To win a negotiation you have to show you're willing to walk away. And the best way to show you're willing to walk away... is to walk away.

Michael Weston: [V.O.] Get your hands on any classified document worth having, chances are it's going to be redacted, which makes reading it a lot like watching a movie on an airplane: all the juicy parts are missing but you still get the basic idea.

Michael: [V.O.] One of the hardest things to do in a fight is to make it look like you're trying to kill someone without doing any permanent damage. They don't teach any half-moves in combat training. There are moves designed to kill and maim as efficiently as possible. If those are off limits, one option is open your fist right before a punch lands. Painful, but the force is distributed. Another showy option is a kick to the shoulder. You might break a rib or two; but if you aim right, nobody is going to the morgue.

Michael: [V.O.] A fight is one of the quickest ways to tell if someone isn't who they say they are. If you say you are Russian but fight like an American, consider your cover blown, which means you better know Sambo the mixed martial art of Russia. Of course, you also have to win the fight; a great cover ID doesn't help much if you're dead.

[To escape detection by a security guard, Michael clings to the edge of a rooftop]
Michael: [V.O.] Making yourself invisible when you need to is a crucial skill for a covert operative; it sounds exotic but it's not like there's a super-secret move they teach you at spy school that allows you to vanish into thin air. Often it's just a matter of quick thinking, fast feet, and strong fingers.

Michael: [V.O.] Tailing a trained operative requires a number of time consuming preparations: everything from acquiring a vehicle they can't recognize or trace to familiarizing yourself with all the local traffic patterns. Of course, since you can never be sure who's a trained op, there's always the chance you'll take all those precautions just to follow a secretary back to her cubicle.

Michael: [V.O.] When you work in intelligence, there's no bigger slap in the face than a picture of yourself in the middle of an operation. It's send a clear message: we're one step ahead of you; we're in control; we own you. Mylar balloons and a bottle of champagne, that's just twisting the knife.

Michael Weston: [V.O.] The interior locks in an office suite are usually low-end; just there to keep white-collar workers from stealing coffee cups. File cabinet locking bars, on the other hand, are a more serious security measure. Their main vulnerability is that they depend on people's faith in padlocks. People have too much faith in padlocks.

Madeline Westen: Uh, Sam, didn't you forget something? [Madeline hands him a number of bullets] I found them in your pants. I heard them rattling around in the washing machine when I was doing your laundry.
Sam: Yeah, 9 mm. Uh, hey, err, I don't know what to say.
Michael: I'd say nothing. Nothing's good. Go with nothing.

Michael: [V.O.] Sometimes, when you meet a new operative, it's a good idea to open with an aggressive move. You learn about people when you make them play defense: their reflexes, weaknesses, how they handle themselves under pressure. And even if they are able to counter, it never hurts to know how far they're willing to go.

Michael: [V.O.] When meeting a covert operative for the first time, the arrangements can tell you a lot: if they give you a map and a photo, they trust you; a place and a time, they want to check you out before they make contact; a cryptic clue like "tidy pelican", they've just got an irritating sense of humor.

Michael: [V.O.] Dealing with a trained operative is like playing chess with a master. Dealing with criminals, on the other hand, is like playing checkers with a three-year-old: they like to change the rules.

[Sam and Virgil, Michael's houseguest, are talking to Michael on the phone.]
Virgil: Listen, I didn't pack enough underwear, so I borrowed a set of your boxers: the blue ones with the stripes.
Michael: [visibly horrified] They will never fit you; stay out of my closet.
Virgil: They're a little snug down under, but I got all packed in. 'Preciate it.
Sam Axe: Mike, be glad you didn't have to see that.

[Michael stops a soccer ball headed in his direction.]
Boy: Kick it! Kick it!
[Michael kicks the ball towards the boy.]
Marcela: Hey, no ball on the sidewalk.
Michael: He started it.

Therapist: And that's why I like to say that trust is a bridge, and it needs a strong foundation, and you can't build a bridge out of pain and fear, can you? [He nudges Michael awake.] Can you, Michael?
Michael: [sleepily] Uh, no, because that would make it, um, structurally unsound.

Michael: [V.O.] Spend a career in covert ops and you're going to know some bad people. You'll work with them, you'll live with them, you might even trust your life with them. But none of that makes them your friend. It can't. Because one day, you might have to end them.

Michael: [V.O.] Spies make great neighbors; they're polite, they keep the lawn trim, and they never crank up the music at night. They don't stand out, because they don't want to be found. So if you're hunting for a covert operative and all you've got to go on are the names of a few dozen suspects, you're out of luck... unless you know where to look.

Michael: [V.O.] Surveillance is the leading cause of weight gain among operatives.

Michael: There's an art to drinking without getting drunk. Start with a lot of ice to dilute the alcohol; order a new round before you're done so your half-full drink gets taken away, and of course, spill.

Michael: Most people think snipers like to shoot from ledges. Fact is, the best sniper position is inside a room through an open window: it hides the shooter, masks the report of the supersonic round, and makes the muzzle flash impossible to see.

Michael: [as "Johnny" while Fiona empties a bottle of vodka onto a bar] Miami...it's humid. Plus...your place is on fire. [Fiona lights the vodka]

Fiona: If we looked for everyone who tried to kill you, we'd do nothing else.

Michael: Now, I just need help tracking someone down, Seymour. That's it.
Seymour: You are such a badass. It's kind of awesome. You need my help? Okay. One condition.You got to teach me some of these moves.
Michael: Sure.

Seymour: Don't argue with destiny. It will kick your ass.

Madeline Westen: Michael, what are you doing?
Michael Westen: [Removing a file folder from the stove] I left something in here.
Madeline Westen: You just assumed I was never gonna broil anything?
Michael Westen: Well, I've been right so far.

Michael: I left her because, you don't marry someone when you love somebody else.

Fiona: [having just shot and killed Carla] Finally.

Burn Notice Quotes - Season 1

Do you have a quote to add? E-mail it to princess041104@gmail.com.

Michael: [V.O.] Covert intelligence involves a lot of waiting around. Any meeting, any appointment, you have to show up early, make sure you are not followed; make sure the area is secured; check out the other guy's advance team and see how well he is prepared. It's good trade craft but it's like hanging out in your dentist's reception area 24 hours a day. You read magazines, sip coffee, and every once in a while someone tries to kill you.

Michael: [V.O.] In a fight, you have to be careful not to break the little bones in your hand on someone’s face. Never happens in movies, but in real life a busted hand will get you killed. That’s why I like bathrooms. Lots of hard surfaces.

Michael: [V.O.] My mom would have made a great N.S.A. communications operative. Drop me in the middle of the Gobi Desert, hide me on top of the Himalayas, bury me in a goddamn cave on the moon, and somehow, some way, she’d find a way to call me and ask me for a favor. [screams into a pillow]

Madeline Westen: You know you missed your father's funeral... by eight years.
Michael: Well, last time I talked to him he said, "I'll see you in hell, boy," so I figured we had something on the books.

Michael: [V.O.] 30 years of karate. Combat experience on five continents. A rating with every weapon that shoots a bullet or holds an edge. Still haven't found any defense to Mom crying into my shirt.

[After Michael almost broke Sugar's hand.] 
Michael: [V.O.] There is a reason spies have a hard time making friends.

Michael: Would you put some pants on?
Sam Axe: What? I work better when I can breathe down there!

[Sam attempts to disable a car that Fiona supposedly wired to turn off via a cellphone. It explodes.]
Michael: Fiona, you were supposed to stop the car, not blow it into the Everglades! What happened to shorting the ignition?
Fiona: You said disable; it's not going anywhere.

Michael: [V.O.] My mother's understanding of my career changes with what she wants from me. One day, she can name everyone on the National Security Council, the next day, she thinks I work for the post office.

Michael: [V.O.] Truth is, identity theft isn't hard. A number and an ID is all you need to drain a bank account and return some money to some very surprised retirees. But why stop there? As long as you're stealing someone's identity, why not use it to contact some known terrorist organizations on unsecured phone lines? Why not use it to threaten federal judges and insult the local drug cartel? Most fun I've had in Miami.

Michael: You lost my car in a card game.
Nate Weston: Well, I needed the money and you weren't helping me out. Besides, nothing ventured, nothing gained, bro.
Michael: It was a rental car you ventured.

Michael: [V.O.] International conferences attract spies for the same reason hotel bars attract hookers: you can do business and drink for free.

[Madeline is reminiscing about Michael and his father.]
Madeline Westen: I remember what fun you two had always working on cars in the garage.
Michael: Fun? I remember him making me fake a seizure at Mr. Goodwrench so he could steal spark plugs.

[After Fi scares off the hit squad with her Molotov cocktails]
Sam: How many were there?
Fiona: I don't know, four? They took off after cocktail hour.
Michael: Fi, it looks like Fallujah down there.

Michael Westen: [V.O.] Spies go to bars for the same reason people go to libraries: full of information if you know where to ask.

Carl Wilhelm: "Pimped"? I'm not a pimp.
Michael: [cheerfully] You say "tomato", I say "pimp."

Sam Axe: If I lose my pension, you're gonna be changing my diapers when I'm 95 and drooling.
Michael: Sam, I would never let that happen. I'd smother you with a pillow first.

Sam: [chuckles] Come on, Mike. Fiona calls, whisper whisper, all of a sudden you gotta have yogurt? What's the big secret?
Michael: No big secret, just looove yogurt.

[Fiona is making an explosive concoction.]
Michael: How's it coming, Fi?
Fiona: Dangerous, unstable. Remind you of anyone?

Sam Axe: Hey, Mikey. When you read this guy's profile you're gonna kiss me.
Michael: I am not gonna kiss you, Sam.
Sam: Look, I'm not saying I'm gonna like it. I'm just saying you're gonna kiss me.

[Nate hugs Michael and walks away.]
Madeline Westen: Now you see Michael, you're too hard on him. I mean, he can be so sweet. I just want us to be a family.
Michael: I know, Mom, I know. [Michael pauses and then looks up.] He just stole my wallet.

Michael Westen: [V.O.] Getting information out of someone who doesn't want to give it up is all about upsetting the target's emotional balance, impairing their judgment. Fear is good for that; anger is not bad either.

Michael: [V.O.] Anyone who has handled large amounts of cash can tell you it's one of the toughest things in the world to move. It's heavy and dense; dead weight. If it's on fire, of course, that complicates things further.

Michael: [V.O.] As a rule, spies don't like dealing with cops. Covert ops are illegal by definition. If they were legal they wouldn't need to be covert.

Michael: [V.O.] You can tie up a lot of resources by keeping a bugged phone line open. As long as it's open they're supposed to keep listening. Say a few cryptic things now and then and they'll be stuck in their little van trying to figure out what the hell you're doing.

Fiona Glenanne: Honestly, I don't know why they bother. They should just put a bullet in your head and be done with it.
Michael: Apparently I'm more valuable alive than dead. But I'm sure they'll take it under advisement.

Michael Westen: [V.O.] Military firebombs are typically white phosphorus or chlorine trifluoride. These are remarkably effective, but they are also unstable, lethally toxic, and hard to find at the grocery store. The main ingredient in a homemade firebomb, on the other hand, is Styrofoam. A military demolition expert can put something together in a few hours. An IRA trained guerrilla can do it in twenty minutes... give or take.

Michael: [V.O.] In intelligence work, surveillance is called coverage. It's like basketball; you can run zone defense or man-to-man. Man-to-man is risky; follow someone too long and they're going to get suspicious. Zone is usually the way to go. Stay put and let targets come to you. Less obvious, easier on the feet... and you can catch up on your celebrity gossip.

Michael: [V.O.] Clandestine meetings are never fun to arrange. It's a big part of the job for a covert operative but it's never pleasant. It's not so much the fear of death that bothers you, it's driving to the meeting with a bag over your head... Sometimes they wash the bag, sometimes they don't.

Barry: Name's Cristo. Like Madonna, the whole one name thing.
Sam Axe: Like Charo.
Barry: Sting.
Sam: Fergie.
Barry: Pélé.
Sam: Spider-Man.
Barry: Liberace.
Sam: Crap, I can't think of any more.

Michael: [V.O.] The thing about security is that the very things that protect you can be turned against you by someone who knows what he's doing. It's tough to compromise a well thought-out security system, but making someone think you can compromise it, well, that's much easier. Take surveillance cameras, for example: you can disable one by shooting a laser at it and overloading the light sensitive chip. Cheap, easy, and exactly the sort of thing a sophisticated criminal gang with lots of resources would do. Leave around some tell-tale signs of surveillance like cigarette butts, a forgotten camera lens cap and the more security there is, the more likely they are to think they've got a very serious problem. Even the security team itself can be an opportunity. The more employees you have, the more you have to worry about them. Deliver some vague threats and a few hundred bucks to a security guard. If he's honest he'll tell his boss, who then wonders who wasn't so honest. For the cost of a nice dinner you can get a whole security team canned.

Fiona Glenanne: I know a few Iranians who are coming into town.
Michael: Oh, let's avoid people who use "Michael Westen" and "jihad" in the same sentence.

[Fiona is threatening Lucio with a taser.]
Michael: [V.O.] The art of turning someone into a double agent is delicate. The target has to be put into a fragile psychological state.
Lucio: Get this crazy bitch away from me!
Michael: [V.O.] Fortunately, fragile psychological states are a specialty of Fiona's.

Michael: [V.O.] Facts are the hallmark of a good false identity. It is harder to create history than it is to alter it. Plus, the more truth to your lie, the easier it is to remember.

Michael: [V.O.] A basic rule of covert ops is let someone else do your dirty work. Let someone else find the guy you want to kill. It's a great technique... as long as you're not the someone else.

Michael: [V.O.] Just because there are no windows or doors doesn't mean there are no exits. The thing to look for is an air conditioner unit, that's where the wall is weakest. Also, people watch doors; they don't watch air conditioners.

[Sam and Fiona are doing recon at a gay bar.]
Sam Axe: How do you want to handle this?
Fiona Glenanne: Well, I think the balls are in your court.

Michael: [V.O.] The truly paranoid don't go to meetings themselves. They use a cut out, someone unrelated to them hired to show a pre-arranged sign and deliver a message. The sign is something innocuous but hard to miss. My favorite is a tourist guide for Madison, Wisconsin. No one will look at it twice, but unless I'm in the Midwest, I know they are waiting for Michael Westen.

Nate: Hey bro, you look tired.
Michael: Hey Nate, you look clean. You shaved the ferret off your face.

[Sam walks into Michael's house with a bucket of fried chicken and Michael pulls his gun.]
Michael: That'll kill you, you know?
Sam: [referring to the gun] Yeah, no kiddin'.
Michael: No. The bucket of trans fat you've got there.

[Michael and Fiona are standing over a large cache of weapons, preparing for an operation.]
Michael Westen: If we need more than this, we're doing something very wrong.
Fiona Glenanne: Or something very right.

Michael: [V.O.] 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.

Michael: [V.O.] 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.

Carmello: Who are you?
Michael: I'm Michael Westen. I used to be a spy.

Michael: [V.O.] You've been in the business way too long when you recognize the sound of a 45 caliber over the phone.
