Episode Quotes
Michael: (voiceover) Counterfeiting pharmaceuticals is pretty straight forward; fill some vials with your choice of beverage. The trick is to keep people from looking closer; with some compressed gas from your local farming supply store, and a few cryogenic containers, you can convince people if they get a little too curious they could loose a finger frostbite.

Michael: (voiceover) If you're driving a sports coupe, you're not be able to lose an off-road vehicle off road. Your best bet is to get them on the road where you have the advantage. It's less about speed than it is about maneuverability. You need to put yourself in a position you can do something they can't.

Michael: (voiceover) Dealing with a trained operative is like playing chess with a master. Dealing with criminals, on the other hand, is like playing checkers with a three year-old: they like to change the rules.

Michael: (voiceover) When you need to distract someone without raising suspicions, it helps to play to preconceptions. Tourists are fat, old people are cranky, and girls can't drive.

Sam: Can't hurt to talk to her, Mike.
Michael: Mmm, it could. It could hurt a little. Could hurt a lot.

Fiona: I bought an assault rifle from him last year. He doesn't know you. Seymour has trust issues.
Michael: I don't want to date him, Fi. I just want to find out what the people who burned me are doing with a Russian sniper rifle.

Seymour: You wanna be a badass, you gotta eat healthy.

Virgil: Listen, I didn't pack enough underwear, so I borrowed a set of your boxers: the blue ones with the stripes.
Michael: They will never fit you; stay out of my closet.
Virgil: They're a little snug down under, but I got all packed in. 'Preciate it.
Sam: Mike, be glad you didn't have to see that.
