Burn Notice (TV Series)

Scorched Earth (2012)

Phil Armijo: Trucker

Quotes 

• Michael Westen : [voiceover]  The vehicle you want when hunting someone down depends on where you are in the chase. If you're behind your target, you need a set of wheels that's fast enough to catch up. If you're ahead and waiting for your target to come to you, you may want to think bigger.

  Sam Axe : Uh, Mike, the clock's ticking. I mean, I thought the idea was to get ahead of Anson so we can spot him from the road.

  Michael Westen : [picking up a rock]  There are no exits for ten miles along that highway. It'll be a lot easier if the traffic's stopped.

  [Michael uses the rock to break the window of a big rig] 

  Sam Axe : Oh, great!

  Michael Westen : [voiceover]  Anti-theft devices, like transponder keys and transmission locks, make newer trucks nearly impossible to steal. Hot-wiring an older truck, on the other hand, is still just a matter of sorting the terminals on the starter solenoid. And, of course, dealing with whoever happens to own the truck.

  Trucker : [spotting Michael and Sam]  Hey! What the hell are you doing?

  Sam Axe : [trying to laugh it off]  Hey, I know this doesn't look good.

  Trucker : No! This guy's stealing my truck!

  Sam Axe : Uh, yeah, he is, but see, the thing is it's kind of a long story, and trust me, pal, you don't want to mess with that guy right now.

  Trucker : Out of my way!

  Sam Axe : Can't do that.

  [the trucker decks Sam; Michael fires a warning shot into the adjacent truck] 

  Michael Westen : Fight's over. Walk away now.

  Sam Axe : [stuffing some bills into the trucker's shirt pocket]  Here. Buy yourself another hot dog. And, uh, you might want to call your insurance company. I think you're gonna need a new truck.
