Episode Quotes
 
Barry: You buying lunch?
Sam: Hey, you're the money launderer for Christ sake, why do I have to buy lunch?
 
Michael: (voiceover) 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: Names Cristo. Like Madonna the whole one name thing.
Sam: Like Charo.
Barry: Sting.
Sam: Fergie.
Barry: Pelle.
Sam: Spiderman.
Barry: Liberacchi.
Sam: Crap, I can’t think of anymore.
 
Michael: (voiceover) Even the most careful spy leaves a trail that can get them burned. A Patriot making a list of deals for his government looks a lot like a traitor, making black market sales for his wallet. Someone up stairs gets the wrong idea and suddenly you're burned and out of the job.
 
Michael: (voiceover) 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. (pause) 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.
 
Anwar: Why don't I just make you tell me then kill you?
Michael: You could do that. The information might or might not check out, torture's unreliable, as you know, and then you'd have to deal with Fiona, who put me in touch with you. More trouble than it's worth, trust me.
