Quotes 

• Carla : Remember, there are worse things than being blacklisted.

  Michael Westen : Oh I know, I could be this guy.

  [nodding toward her henchman] 

• Michael Westen : [first lines - narrative]  The most dangerous time in any operation is when everything is coming together. You never know if you're about to get a pat on the back, or a bullet to the back of the head.

• Michael Westen : [answering phone during car chase shoot out]  Carla, not a good time.

  Carla : You think you're clever.

  Michael Westen : Clever? Well, I tested well in school, but they say that doesn't mean...

  Carla : You're trying to save the man who tried to kill you. Victor and I have known each other for a long time. You have no idea who you're dealing with.

  Michael Westen : You know, I know it's been a short time, but sometimes you meet someone and you just get that feeling.

  Carla : Enough. It's time you learned actions have consequences.

  Michael Westen : Funny, I was thinking it was time for you to learn the same thing.

• Michael Westen : Victor I sympathize with your situation but it's a little hard to trust someone when they've tried to kill you, four times.

  Victor : Four, that seems high.

  [pause] 

  Victor : Oh come on, you're counting earlier with the chair!

  Michael Westen : Yes.

• Victor : Wait a minute, you're going to help me? I get to be one of Michael Westen's clients? One of the desperate people to whom you lend your razor-sharp mind and fists of fury?

  Michael Westen : Lucky you.
