Quotes 

• Madeline Westen : Hey, Sam? You've got a visitor. Says he's an old friend of yours.

  [Sam sighs, goes into the house and meets-] 

  Sam Axe : Mack.

  Mack : [with hat in hand]  Hey, man. Been a long time.

  [Mack reaches out to shake hands, freeze frame] 

  Mack : ["Mack" / "Sam's old friend"] 

  [Sam hits Mack with a left cross] 

  Madeline Westen : Sam!

  Mack : [hand on chin]  That's okay. I deserved that.

  ["Mack" / "Sam's former friend"] 

  Mack : [Sam hits Mack with a right cross, then moves in for more] 

  Madeline Westen : [restraining Sam]  Sam! Sam! Hey, easy, easy. Sam.

  Mack : That one, too, I suppose. All right, look, Sam... I know you and I have had our problems, but I need your help. Can I buy you a beer? Please.

  Sam Axe : I'm not in a drinking mood.

  [Sam goes to the kitchen. Michael follows him in] 

  Madeline Westen : Sam, who is this guy?

  Sam Axe : Oh, we served together during my SEAL days.

  Madeline Westen : You don't look too excited to see him.

  Sam Axe : Yeah, we had a bit of a falling out.

  Michael Westen : [Madeline listens]  Anything you want to talk about?

  Sam Axe : I'm sorry, Mike. I...

  Sam Axe : [sighs]  Maybe I'll just let him buy me that beer. I'll be all right.

• [Sam is boxing up 8-track tapes for storage] 

  Madeline Westen : You're not packin' my Ice Babies, are you?

  Sam Axe : Uh, no, Maddie, those are staying behind.

  Madeline Westen : Good, because you destroyed *half* my Winter Wonderland collection when you blew up my house.

  Sam Axe : Come on, now. I thought we were past all that.

  Madeline Westen : We are. I was just pulling your chain. Ha!

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  When you're extracting a heavily guarded target, it's important to choose the right entry point. Guards watch windows and doors... so if you come in through the common wall of a neighboring apartment, you've got surprise on your side, not to mention a shower of shattered concrete.

  [Michael listens to the wall] 

  Sam Axe : What is it, Mike?

  Michael Westen : It's a little too quiet in there.

  Michael Westen : [looks to window]  And a little too quiet out there, too.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Of course, surprise doesn't count for much if you're walking into a trap.

  Sam Axe : [of what he sees out the window]  Looks like Vega decided to crash the party.

  Mack : [at the door]  Hey, we've got guys coming up the stairs.

  Michael Westen : I hope you brought enough rope, Sam.

  [window blows out] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Traditional rappelling requires holding a rope with both hands, which is inconvenient if you're being shot at. That's why Special Forces are trained to rappel in unconventional ways.
