Episode Summary

The A-Team travels to New York City to help out a group of beleaguered shopkeepers who are being extorted by a band of local thugs. Hannibal opens up a small TV repair shop and it isn't long before he gets a visit from the "insurance salesmen". B.A. follows them back to their lair, a trendy uptown bistro with a swanky owner (Yaphet Kotto). The team proceeds to put the pinch on them as they attempt to recover the extorted money for their clients. - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Tracey: [Murdock is watching a TV set with no reception using his upturned and backwards sunglasses as a magnifying glass] Your friend sure has a weird sense of humour.
Amy: Yeah, he has a weird sense of something. [Murdock looks up at her through the glasses]

Murdock: Now, Hannibal, this sounds like one of those plans. And whenever we use one of those plans, somebody always gets mad at us.
Hannibal: Yeah.

Murdock: Yes indeedy. The thing I like about the A-Team is you get a chance at such diversity. Career diversity.
B.A.: We�re garbage men, fool.
