Episode Quotes

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] 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.
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.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (audio/visual unsynchronized): As Michael prepares to climb onto the boat he throws a three prong grapple hook over a railing with plastic covers on the tines, the audio has a metallic clink as it connects.
  • Goof (continuity error): As Michael and Sam depart the lower decks, Michael has a gun in his hand. As they exit the upper his hand is empty but when they cross the gangway it is in his hand again.
  • Goof (errors in geography): At the very end when Michael is driving in the Caddy via the Onstar in the Florida Keys he stops behind the 18 Wheeler, he is going the wrong direction on the Seven Mile Bridge. If he was leaving Miami, the "Old Flaglar" Seven Mile Bridge would be on his right, but it is on the Left. The means he was going toward Marathon (and Miami) when the last part was filmed.
  • Goof (revealing mistake): When Michael is standing by the pool at Nate's place, talking on his cell phone to the Green Beret that has Sam, if you look in the background, you can see a "wave" that is not moving. It's a background drawing.
