  Fiona Glenanne : Key West?

  Jesse Porter : Hey, you want an alibi on such short notice, you don't get to be picky.

• Jesse Porter : [commenting on Fi's changes to Michael's home]  Is that potpourri that I'm smelling? You're killing me, man.

• [finishing a funny story] 

  Sam Axe : So I said, "Shoot the dog."

  Jesse Porter : So I did.

  [laughing] 

• Brad Ramsey : This seems too good to be true. Then your guys start asking details about my business. I mean, how do I know you're not cops?

  Sam Axe , Fiona Glenanne , Jesse Porter : [amused laughter] 

  Michael Westen : Fair question. Deserves an honest answer.

  [Michael hands his sunglasses to Fi, his drink to Sam and takes the bottle, and takes a pocket handkerchief from Ethan] 

  Michael Westen : Cops write tickets.

  [Michael pours the alcohol on the handkerchief] 

  Michael Westen : Cops eat doughnuts.

  [Michael stuffs one end of the handkerchief into the neck of the bottle]

  [Michael lights the end of the handkerchief and tosses the Molotov cocktail into a car. The glass smashes and the car's interior is engulfed in flames] 

  Brad Ramsey : Son of a bitch.

  Brad Ramsey : That's - that's my car!

  Michael Westen : No, that's not your car.

  Michael Westen : [turns him around to a sporty sliver Porsche Carrera 4 convertible]  *That's* your car. I call it the thinking car. Take your time. Have a ball.

  [Michael shoves Ramsey towards the car. He walks over, opens the door, starts the engine and drives off] 

  Fiona Glenanne : "Thinking car"?

  Michael Westen : Felt right at the time.

  Jesse Porter : It fel- I don't give a damn how it felt; I better see my car again, Mike.

  Sam Axe : [claps Jesse's shoulder]  I know the feeling, buddy.

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  Protecting a target from a bullet sometimes means taking a few shots at them yourself. A near miss puts the target on their guard and keeps the real gunman at bay.

  Jesse Porter : Fi. Fi, not my car!

  Fiona Glenanne : Relax. I'll just put one through the windshield.

  Jesse Porter : Fi...

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  But you can never predict how someone's going to react to a bullet whizzing by their head.

  [Fi fires, Ramsey ducks] 

  Brad Ramsey : [exclaiming]  What the hell?

  [Ramsey backs up, turns, then drives out the lot over the curb. Jesse flinches as the rear bumper detaches and is dragged behind as Ramsey races off] 

  Jesse Porter : Just the windshield, Fi?
