Gabriel Manaro : You look pretty pleased with yourselves for a couple of guys who just cut a deal with a drug kingpin.
Matt Bailey : What the hell were you thinking? You know, we told you...
Michael Westen : You said the *Serbs* couldn't find out the CIA was involved. But Carmelo finding out - that wasn't "mission critical," was it?
Matt Bailey : Do you really expect us to make good on immunity for that bastard?
Michael Westen : Actually, I do, because if you let him go to jail, that *bastard* has no incentive to keep his mouth shut.
Gabriel Manaro : We keep him out on the street, you really think...
Sam Axe : Maybe Pearce can explain it to you. Ask her to talk real slow, and you might get it.
Agent Pearce : As long as Carmelo's got a reputation to protect...
Gabriel Manaro : Well, that's just beautiful, but have you heard the story he told the cops?
Matt Bailey : The guy said he went to the marina with his buddies for a picnic!
Gabriel Manaro : Then Serbs attacked, out of nowhere!
Matt Bailey : Oh, but luckily, Carmelo had the sense to bring all these automatic weapons with him to the picnic, you know, instead of food!
Gabriel Manaro : This is the official story we get to sell to the Miami police.
Matt Bailey : [talking over] Yeah, this is what we get to do with this Carmelo guy.
Gabriel Manaro : [talking over] This is the mess you are leaving us with!
Matt Bailey : [talking over] Immunity. Fantastic.
Sam Axe : Yeah, well, sucks being you. But I guess that's nothing new, right?
Matt Bailey : Woah! Ho, ho! Ho!
Gabriel Manaro : Ho! Woah! Mr. Axe! Not so fast. We need our glasses back.
Sam Axe : Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. I... lost them.
[Sam and Michael get into the Charger. Sam chuckles to Michael as he pulls the glasses from his pocket]
Michael Westen : Sam, I just wanna say...
Sam Axe : You don't have to, Mike.
Michael Westen : I was *gonna* say, you owe *me* one.
Michael Westen : [as Sam laughs] And I owe you fifty.

Michael Westen : So you're saying the Agency never tricks third parties into attacking our enemies? Huh. Times *have* changed.
Agent Pearce : Of course we do, but a "Yojimbo" play is a Hail Mary to pull off, not to mention reckless.
Sam Axe : Yeah, well, as the guy who's about to put his head in the lion's mouth, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop reminding me.

Gabriel Manaro : [instantly abrasive] You Westen?
Matt Bailey : [instantly abrasive] Do you want to tell us why the name Sam Axe is appearing on equipment-requisition forms?
Gabriel Manaro : You really put a $40,000 bug on that man's face?
Michael Westen : [pause, then to Agent Pearce] Which one should I answer?
[Bailey scoffs]
Agent Pearce : Michael, this is Gabrial Manaro and Matt Bailey. Guys, this is...
Gabriel Manaro : Oh, we know who he is! He's the genius who involved a heroin dealer in a classified CIA field operation, not to mention Sam Axe!
Michael Westen : [walking past, pronouncing Manaro's name with contempt] Sam mentioned there was a dustup with whichever one of you is Manaro?
Gabriel Manaro : A-a dustup? You could say that. We're not fans.
["Gabrial Manaro & Matt Bailey" / "Not fans of Sam Axe"]
Michael Westen : [pouring wine] So, when did you work with Sam?
Matt Bailey : Five years ago, he compromised a CIA facility in Colombia. He endangered a mission *and* its personnel.
Gabriel Manaro : Specifically us.
Matt Bailey : Yeah.
Michael Westen : I'm sure he had his reasons.
Agent Pearce : Okay. Focus. Mr. Axe's position with Carmelo Dante is... precarious. His story's being checked against a captured Serb. Michael thinks we need the cavalry on call.
Matt Bailey : [laughing] What cavalry? What's with this guy?
Gabriel Manaro : You put an asset in the field...
Michael Westen : [angry] I put my *friend* in the field! Now, I haven't asked for anything yet, but if I do, you better be ready!
Matt Bailey : I wouldn't hold my breath. This mission comes first.
