Episode Quotes

Murdock: The colonel really bends my mind out of shape, you know?
B.A.: Man, if your mind was bent out of shape, it�d be straight, fool.

Hannibal: What I tell ya, Face?
Face: What'd you tell me? I'll tell you what you told me. This is gonna go down smooth, Face. A piece of cake, Face. Just a couple of goons with camouflage paint who call themselves a terrorist group, Face. Yeah, in and out, 1, 2, 3, with the girl and the money. No muss, no fuss. Huh?
Hannibal: Right.
Face: Right. Well, I think I got a busted nose. Murdock's lost some ribs. BA�s lost all his marbles. And, a very big and I might say, we lost the money. We were supposed to come back with the money.

Ramon: You�re all dead men.
Face: Really? Gee, I didn�t think I�d feel this good after I was dead. I wanna thank you all for coming to the funeral.
