Fiona Glenanne quotes from Burn Notice

Fiona

Ah, the mating dance of the spy. It's a wonder spies ever get close enough to kill each other, isn't it?

Fiona

If we looked for everyone who tried to kill you, we'd do nothing else.

Fiona

[having just shot and killed Carla] Finally.

Fiona

Third degree burns prevent acne but it doesn't mean you set your head on fire.

Fiona

Getting shot sounds noble until it actually happens to you. Don't volunteer for it unless it's absolutely necessary.

Fiona

Ooh he called him a 'pendejo', it's like idiot but ruder.

Fiona

For your sake, Michael, I hoped you were dead. I can put up with a lot, but four calls without so much as a text back?! That just puts me right to the edge!

Fiona

[after Jesse hits Russian spy with pistol] This was my idea! I should have gotten to hit him!

Fiona

Sometimes you have to be your own white knight.

Fiona

[to Vaughn] You see, Michael wants to believe that you're different, but I know nothing's changed. It's the same old tune you bastards have been playing since day one: "Do what we want or die." You just sing it a little differently.

Fiona

[in goodbye letter] Even before I knew your real name, I loved you. Before I should have, I trusted you. Because I've always known your heart. You do what's right, no matter the cost to you. And I've learned that when you love a spy, you have to be willing to make that sacrifice, too. At times, your job has made it hard to be with you, but it's never shaken my faith in you. I can't let you ruin anyone's life to save mine. I have to force you to tell what you know. If you don't, you won't be the man I love. Do the right thing. I love you, Michael. Forever.

Fiona

[voice-over] I don’t expect to make many friends here, but then I’ve never made friends easily anyway. At least I have a little privacy. I’m not in the yard. At meals or on work duty I’m housed in a unit for violent offenders, alone. It reminds me of the first time I lost you in Ireland. I’d see you in my dreams and then I would wake up and you were still gone. The dreams hurt but they were all that kept me going. They did then and they do now. Love, Fi.

Michael

[V.O.] My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy, until...

[Over the phone] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted.

Michael

[V.O.] When you're burned, you've got nothing. No cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in.

Michael

Where am I?

Fiona

Miami.

Michael

[V.O.] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...

Fiona

Shall we shoot them?

Michael

[V.O.] An old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI...

Sam

You know spies. Bunch of bitchy little girls.

Michael

[V.O.] Family too...

Sam

Hey, is that your mom again?

Michael

[V.O.] ...if you're desperate.

Madeline Westen

Someone needs your help, Michael.

Michael

[V.O.] Bottom line is: as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere.

Madeline

Someone needs your help, Michael.

Michael

[V.O.] ...And a down-and-out spy you met along the way.

Jesse Porter

That's how we do it, people!

Michael

[V.O.] Bottom line is: as long as you're burned, you're not going anywhere.

Michael

Uh, listen, Fi, now's not the best time...

Sam

[entering] Oh, Jesus, Mike, you didn't tell me she was gonna be here.

Fiona

[rushing at Sam] You cost me a lot of money, you son of a bitch! I've been wanting to talk to you for a long time!

Sam

I cost you? Okay, for starters, what you're talking about never officially happened! Second, you deserved a lot worse than what you got, lady!

Michael

Sam...

Michael

[V.O.] There's a reason spies don't have a lot of parties. Everybody's got a history with everybody else.
