Episode Quotes

Frankie: Scuse me, why is Murdock playing with his underwear?
B.A.: Some fool paying him to do it.

Murdock: I just want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to inspect my shorts on this trip.
Hannibal: Murdock, I admire your dedication. I know that I'd feel confident in anything inspected by number 6.
Murdock: Oh, thank you. You never gonna know how much this means to me.

Face: You, uh, you have any idea what this is?
Hannibal: No.
Face: No, well, this happens to be a sample of Project Victory. What, what Carla said could have catastrophic repercussions on the West. That's what this is. What this whole mission is about. Right here, in my very own, sock drawer.
Hannibal: Good a place as any. Gimme a cigar.
