Fiona Glenanne quotes from Burn Notice

Michael

If we need more than this, we're doing something very wrong.

Fiona

Or something very right.

Michael

Fi, get me a sniper rifle and some C4.

Fiona

Oh, I like where this is going.

Fiona

Zeke is one careful con-man. He's security conscious, he's smart... smooth, too, in a cheesy, Sam kind of way.

Sam

Hey, smooth is smooth, baby.

Sam

"Daddy"?

Fiona

Bet you never thought you'd hear me call you that.

Fiona

Are you just trying to keep me away from Campbell?

Michael

Who?

Michael

Revenge is a waste of time.

Fiona

So is watching television and eating candy, but you do it because it feels good.

Fiona

As stimulating as all this is, I still don't see why you called me over here, Michael.

Michael

It always helps to bounce ideas, Fi.

Sam

Uh, I'm gonna grab another beer... and, uh, drink it on the balcony.

Fiona

It's late, I should be going.

Michael

Wait, Fi.

Fiona

Whatever you're going to say... it was in the past.

Michael

It is, and it isn't. Sam and I worked because we were the same. She knew I lied to people. She loved it. She did the same thing. It was easy. And then I met you... It was different. It was never easy. You knew a side of me she never did. And I left her... because, you don't marry someone when you love somebody else.

Fiona

Patricia, I want you to try something. It's a relaxation exercise I do in situations like this. I want you to close your eyes and breathe deep. Picture a peaceful mountain stream, can you do that? Now picture yourself drowning the kidnapper in the stream. You're taking a rock from the stream and raising it above your head, and with tremendous force you're bringing—

Michael

Fi!

Well, if you get the urge to destroy evidence, stop by; we'll be waiting for you.

Fiona

Was that flirting or does she hate you?

Michael

I am not her type.

Madeline

So what you're saying is, Michael's missing his own birthday party?!

Fiona

He's busy!

Madeline

Busy. Busy being shot at or busy getting blown up?! Doesn't he ever take a day off? ...I mean, you know, a little consideration is all I'm asking! I'm making an effort, so should he!

Fiona

He seems to be making progress.

Madeline

Don't fool yourself, honey. Loving Michael is always trench warfare.

Fiona

So, Randall's off to party in Cancún with my client's money.

Michael

Look at the bright side, Fi: you weren't killed.

Fiona

Oh, please. If a nuisance like Randall can kill me then I deserve it.

Michael

Why can't you be with me on this?

Fiona

Talking to you is like talking to Spencer. You're both so focused on one thing it clouds everything else. It's a crazy way to live, Michael.

Michael

I am like Spencer. We both see the world in a certain way and we both have skills to make it a better place. That's not a bad thing. I don't want to keep talking about this, so let me be straight with you. This job, what we just did, saving American lives. This is the type of work I was made for, Fi. It's what my old job gave me the chance to do every single day, so no. Getting back in isn't just a way to survive to protect the people I love. It's what I want. And if you truly care about me you should damn well want for me what I want for myself.

Fiona

If that's what you want. I'll be with you. I'll be with you.

Michael

Wow. That's like two days worth of yogurt.

Fiona

Either that's a brilliantly disguised bomb or somebody knows the way to your heart.

Fiona

I know a guy, goes by Beck. He might be able to help. He's made a lot of money for some very powerful people over there. If there's a Ukrainian in town, he'll be able to fill you in.

Michael

Based in Miami?

Fiona

Mmhmm. Started as local gangster, went big time. He hijacks cargo and ships it. Like FedEx, the Kalashnikov set. He's about as connected as a Miami hustler who can't speak Russian can get.

Michael

Think you can get me a meeting?

Fiona

You might not want me as your go-between. I may have intercepted a couple of his shipments once. Sparkling new P-90s, Michael. They deserved a good home.
