Episode Quotes
 
Michael: (voiceover) The term shock and awe gets misused a lot these days. It's a popular name for a military tactic called rapid dominance. Whether you do it with a thousand pound bomb or a can of turpentine and a power drill. It's all about being spectacular. Kill the electronic brain in any late model car and it's dead, won't start windows won't open. And you can pretty much do what ever you want.
 
Michael: Jason Bly! Always a pleasure.
Agent Bly: Nice job ditching the police to other day. I knew you'd do it of course, but you always manage those things with such style. Maybe it's the sunglasses where did you get them.
Michael: Oh, an Algerian special ops guy I tangled with a while back. He didn't need them any more.
 
Fiona: I have to say Sam's romantic side is surprising.
Michael: Not now Fi.
Fiona: I'm talking about Sam.
Michael: And your gonna use Sam as a way to talk about us. (Fiona begins to speak) After. All right?
Fiona: All right. But I promise you that if I am not satisfied I am gonna kick your ass.
 
Fiona: You have always had a problem with my work. I have always supported you.
Michael: I'm helping people, you're running guns. Big difference.
 
Ernie: She can kill my whole family?
Michael: Well, she's a shark, Ernie. She plans on killing me, too, if that makes you feel any better.
 
Michael: (voiceover) The longer you run form the police the more certain you are to get caught. There's a small window of time after a chase begin before back-up arrive, before helicopters are deployed. If you want any chance of getting away, you'd best use this time to find some place secluded and bail out.
 
Michael: (voiceover) Any new employer is looking for the same things: are you willing to go the extra mile? Can you take the initiative, impress them?
 
Michael: (voiceover) In any new job there's always friction with your co-workers. They are wondering if the boss likes the new guy better, if he's going to make them look bad in some jobs that can get you a dark look in the break room, in other jobs that can get you a bullet in the back of the head.
 
Michael: (voiceover) 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 home-made firebomb, on the other hand, is Styrofoam. A military demolition expert can put something together in a few hours. An IRA trained guerilla can do it in twenty minutes give or take.
