Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe

[Sam confesses to Michael that he's found out his new girlfriend is an Admiral's wife.] Sam: So, look, what do you think I should do here? Michael: Go to Maitland and explain. Tell him you didn't know who she was until things had already gotten out of hand. In fact, call him right now. Sam: Mike, that's not what I- look, I was more looking for that super-spy advice on how to keep this quiet. Michael: You remember that thing in Kiev with Misha? When he sold out the wetwork team on their way to Paris? Sam: Hell, yeah. What about it? Michael: That's the kind of secret that stays secret, because if it comes out, people get sent to Siberia. This will come out as soon as Maitland looks sideways at his wife. Sam: Seriously, Mike, you know, I know you're a smart guy, but you've dated, like, one lady, and she was a frickin' psycho. I'm just saying you may not be the expert on this whole boy-girl thing. Sam: I mean, how smart can spies be, right? You're always fighting on the side with no guns. Michael: There's certain rewards to fighting on the side with no guns. Admiral Gregory Maitland: You were in my house, in bed with my wife! And don't even try to deny it, 'cause I found your belt. This look familiar? I talked to Donna, and she told me everything. Sam: (still slightly drunk) Admiral, I was unaware, sir, that she was your significant other. Maitland: You were unaware? You're a Navy SEAL! You're trained in battlefield awareness, and you didn't see my name on the mailbox?! Sam: Well, sir, I wasn't exactly in that frame of mind, sir. As you can imagine, I was otherwise occupied, sir... I'll stop talking now, sir. [Maitland assigns Sam to a mission in Colombia.] Sam Axe: Well, sir, it's been a while since I was down in South America, I really should brush up on my Spanish. Admiral Gregory Maitland: Well, you've got a thirteen hour flight, so... (throws him a mission dossier) Brush up, amigo! Sam Axe: Amigo, that's "friend," right, sir? Maitland: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE! Sam: So between these tanks and the fuel out back, we should have just enough to blow the place. Ben Delaney/Amanda: What?! Amanda: You're not going to destroy the clinic! Isn't Veracruz coming to do the exact same thing? Sam: No, Veracruz wants to destroy the clinic with the people inside. I want to destroy the clinic to create a distraction to save the people. Little bit of a difference. Sam: You stay here, you die. You come with me... Ben Delaney: ...we live? Sam: Well, the odds are a little better. Ben: Okay, real quick... The warning label says "keep away..." Sam: [interrupts] Yeah, that's right. We're building a bomb, okay? So you do the opposite of what the warning label says. Beatriz: [holding a little girl by the hand] She ran off and and she won't stop crying! [in Spanish] Shut up! You're going to kill us all...! Sam: Hey, sister, easy now. Now I'm not an expert here, but I don't think that's how you get a kid to stop crying. Come on, Nina. (in Spanish) Let's go. Don't listen to bad girl. One time, she gives kiss to a monkey. On his mouth. (the girl starts laughing) It's true. I saw it. [Sam is teaching the Espada Ardiente tactics. Beatriz is translating.] Sam: Okay, I have a plan for attack. It's called the zone blitz. And it's all about disguise. Let me hear you say it, all together: zone blitz! [after reaching a CIA outpost] Sam: So guys, what can we do here? Got any weapons? Gabriel 'Gabe' Manaro: We got a couple of 45s? Matt Bailey: And like a box of ammo. Gabe: Other than that we got a lot of computers? Matt: And maps. Gabe: DVDs, good movies. Matt: We're an observation outpost. Gabe: ...mostly observing. Matt: Yeah, doing communications supporting... Gabe: ...not wearing "night goggles". Or going on raids. Matt: We're not a fortress. Sam: Okay, what about all those antennae on the roof? Can you call out? Gabe: [upbeat] Yeah, we can do that. Beatriz: Those men killed my father! Sam: I think it's safe to say if your dad was here, he wouldn't want you catching a bullet. I mean, thinking about it, what would he say? Beatriz: I don't know, he's not here! Sam: He would say a kid a tough and as smart as you is gonna have a big future. He'd want you to grow up and see it, wouldn't he? Beatriz: He would want me to stay. Sam: So you'll stay. Beatriz: [quickly] No. But thanks anyways. You remind me of my father. [grins] And I didn't listen to him either. [Sam and the Espada Ardiente ambush the convoy.] Sam: Flaming Sword, attack! Zone blitz! Beatriz: ZONE BLITZ!
