Quotes 

• Sam Axe : I ever tell you you're the reason I drink, Mikey?

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  Recruiting a source is a painful process. Threatening to ruin someone's life can put a lot of strain on a relationship and make it tough to work together.

  Sam Axe : Hello, Marv. Chuck Finley. Nice to meet you.

  Marv : Wish I could say the same. What's this about?

  Sam Axe : Well, the good news is this has nothing to do with your marital indiscretion with Sally Baker.

  Marv : And the bad news?

  [Sam points behind Marv] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  But sometimes a bad relationship is the best you can do.

  Marv : [turns around]  Jesse, what the hell are you doin' to me? I can't be here. I can't be talking to you. You know that.

  Jesse Porter : I know. If there was any other way...

  Marv : What, what, other than dragging my private life into this?

  Jesse Porter : I'm sorry, I really need your help.

  Marv : Help? Are you kidding? This is the second time you've tricked me into meeting you.

  Jesse Porter : You want to know what happened the first time? The help you gave me led directly to the takedown of Drake Technologies.

  Marv : The- You're involved with that?

  Jesse Porter : Yes.

  Marv : I mean- I mean, the congressional hearings are still going on.

  Jesse Porter : I know. I know, and trust me, you do not want to know the details, but you helped stop some very bad people, Marv. So I'm asking you to do it again.

  Marv : [pauses]  All right, what do you need?

  Jesse Porter : All right, someone's getting ready to auction off something really nasty. I got e-mails and some of the people attending. I just need to know the who, the when, and the where.

  Marv : [accepts file]  All right, I'll look into it.

  [Marv walks off past Sam] 

  Jesse Porter : [groans]  The guy's a good friend. I feel like a son of a bitch playing him like that.

  Sam Axe : Yup. I know how you feel. But you know what always cheers me up? Stealing a chemical weapon from a bunch of crazy South Americans.

• Sam Axe : [driving, on Bluetooth]  Hey, Mike, I'm at Watson Key. Looks like I'm free and clear so I'm headin' over there now to drop this baby off with my buddy at the base.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Spies are trained to be careful around road work. Too many workers for too little work: you're probably driving into a snatch-and-grab. No workers with road blocks guiding you toward a freshly paved pothole rather than *away* from one: it's a good bet you're about to drive over a bomb.

  [Sam's not a spy]
