5x05 Square One

Michael Westen: [Ethan is asking for Michael's help to catch his sister's abusive boyfriend] If you want my help, Brandon goes to jail, not to the morgue.
Ethan: Fine. But I'm coming along every step of the way. When we catch him, I want to be there. At the very least, I owe this guy a broken nose.
Michael Westen: I can live with that.

Jesse Porter: Hey. Got here as soon as I could.
Michael Westen: How'd it go?
Jesse Porter: Okay. Put together some credit card receipts putting everyone in Key West yesterday on a little vacation.
Fiona Glenanne: Key West?
Jesse Porter: Hey, you want an alibi on such short notice, you don't get to be picky.

Michael Westen: [voiceover] As a spy, you're in the information business - stealing it, protecting it, and if you have to, destroying it. Some secrets are so dangerous that you can't allow them to continue to exist. A murder weapon that implicates you in a crime you didn't commit, for example, is a secret best kept with four thousand degrees of burning thermite.
