Episode Summary

When loan shark Jack 'the Ripper' Lane, who is too violent even for his mob extortion boss Nathan Vincent's taste, breaks Italian restaurant owner Gino Giani's fingers, he and his daughter Gina hire the A-team, but get cold feet after threats to their entire family. So Hannibal, alias Sean O'Shea, deliberately takes a loan from Lane to start an Irish pub cum restaurant, The Naked Lady (where busboy Murdock's new vocation is that of union representative), and then doesn't even give him a seat, thus provoke him to a sniper assault, and then takes on Vincent's by own (hard-hand enforced) juke-box business... - IMDB

Episode Quotes

Murdock: I will handle all general grievances.
B.A.: I got a grievance!
Murdock: That's why I'm here, what is it, tell me?
B.A.: My grievance is: I don't like you and I don't wanna listen to you and I'm getting ready to throw you through a wall.
Murdock: Can I get back to you on that grievance?

Hannibal: As my dear departed father used to say, a cow dung is widened if trodden upon.

Hannibal: Ah, Jack. As me dear departed father used to say, promise too much, and there will be many in search of you.

Hannibal: I feel called upon to quote my dear departed father.
B.A.: Oh, Hannibal, I had enough of you and your dearly departed father. I don�t like Irish proverbs.
Hannibal: Oh, you�ll like this one.
B.A.: No I won't.
Hannibal: Oh, yes you will. The proverb says that seldom is the last of anything better than the first.
Face: Seldom is the last of anything better than the first, that doesn't make any sense.
Hannibal: Of course it does. It means, I love it when a plan comes together.
