Episode Quotes

Hannibal: [reading newspaper article] You've heard of them, the legendary A-Team. Three fugitives, alone and on the run, chased by the military police wherever they go, and yet these same men have found the time over and over again to go to the aid of those in need, the helpless, and the oppressed. But, is this yesterday�s news? Have our modern day Robin Hoods gone sour? Or is this just a case of the leopard revealing its true spots?

Face: Murdock, you�ll always be one of us. The question is, which one.

Hannibal: This is, uh, BA Baracus. This is Templeton Peck, Faceman. This is Howlin� Mad Murdock. And, uh, I�m Hannibal Smith. We are The A-Team.

Murdock: Fools! You didn�t bring your Murdock! What�s the matter, phony Face? You couldn�t break him out?
