Episode Quotes

Sam Axe: [Michael shoots the rear view mirror off Sam's car] What the hell is he doing?
Fiona Glenanne: I think we just got recruited into Michael's cover identity.
Michael Westen: Making yourself comfortable I see.
Sam Axe: Err, comfortable? I wouldn't go that far. Mike, how do you fit into these little shirts? They're like doll clothes.
Michael Westen: [voice-over] As a spy, you get to spend a lot of time alone... Whether you're in an Indonesian prison, a cave in the Afghan mountains, or the back of a cargo truck, it comes with the job. You're trained to make the most of it, plan your next move, go over your intel, review your training, but, when you've cleaned your gun thirty times, and reviewed the past tense of every verb in five languages, you start itching to make a move.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the police officer picks up the planted automatic weapons, he does so with his bare hands, without gloves. This would be a fatal mistake for any real police officer, as it would compromise any fingerprint evidence that could be on the weapon.
  • Goof (factual errors): SPOILER: When Sam talks to Carla, he offers that the 4-across answer to her crossword is "BEETS". However, when Michael looks at her puzzle that she left behind, the first word is a four-letter word, so therefore the first two across clues would be 1-across and 5-across. Also, Carla told Sam that she was working on finishing the puzzle, then immediately leaves. But when Michael looked at the puzzle later, it was completely finished.

Trivia

  • Michael's cover ID ("Terry Miller") is actually one of the producers.
