Jesse Porter quotes from Burn Notice

Jesse

[dragging a trunk with a captive in it] Even a day at the beach isn't a day at the beach with you people.

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 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

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

He seemed to really like us.

Jesse

Hey, the guy is standing up for his community. It's pretty inspiring.

Michael

There's a fine line between inspiring and suicidal.

Fiona

I say hit these dealers hard. Send them a message.

Michael

Guys, we don't even know who we're dealing with. Let's figure out who these guys are working with and --

Fiona

Fine. Just promise there will be some hitting involved at some point.

Jesse

[loading a van] Another bag? What, is this every explosive you own?

Fiona

Ha! You don't know me very well.

Jesse

Just goes to show. Payback is a...

Michael

Fiona...

Fiona

You should see the other guy.

Jesse

I don't know what you just volunteered me for. I'm not getting mixed up in anything Michael's got going on.

Fiona

Jesse, we lied about what we did to you. We didn't lie about who we are.

Michael

[referring to Vaughn] His organization has never faced this kind of exposure before. I imagine he'll marshal all of his forces and send them this way.

Sam

So, the gates of hell will open...

Jesse

The apocalypse will be upon us...

Fiona

And everyone we know and love will be in danger of becoming very dead.

Madeline

So what else is new?

Michael

(preparing for his last stand) And for what it's worth, Agent Porter, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I never said it, but I am truly sorry.

Jesse

(embarrassed) Come on, man, just... I signed up to fight the bad guys, right? That's all you were ever doing. So we're in this together. You good with that?

Michael

Yeah, I'm good with that.

Jesse

Listen to me: if you go back out there, you know what's going to happen.

Fiona

Yeah, I'm going.

Jesse

What happened to all that wisdom about you and Mike having different priorities?

Fiona

Well, screw wisdom! I belong out there with him, for better or worse.

Jesse

It's probably going to be for worse.

Fiona

Well, I knew that the moment I met him. (kisses Jesse, then runs back towards Michael) Goodbye, Jesse!

Jesse

How many bangers we got inside?

Fiona

Three. Shouldn't be too hard for me to sneak past them.

Jesse

Hmm. Uh-huh, or, you know, I could go in and you could stay out here, because --

Fiona

If you're about to say because I'm a woman, I'm going to knock your teeth down your throat.

Agent Pearce

[referring to Michael's plan] That is, bar none, the craziest play I have ever heard in the field.

Jesse

Well, you don't hang out with him enough.

Jesse

Ok, I have it pointed away from the door.

Sam

Is it enough?

Jesse

Should be.

Sam

"Should be" or "it is"? "Should be" is how bomb techs lose body parts.

Sam

If that bastard knows what's good for him, he'll come back home in the next thirty minutes.

Jesse

You're not gonna make it to happy hour, Sam. Let it go.

Sam

If I don't, this is gonna be a lot more snatching than grabbing, I can tell ya that much.

Jesse

What the hell does that even mean?

Sam

You're gonna find out what it means.

Jesse

This Lone Ranger thing might feel noble, but it's going to get you killed one day.

Sam

Actually, even the Lone Ranger had Tonto and the horse.

Jesse

Yeah. [points to himself] Tonto... [points to Sam] and horse.

Jesse

Well, they missed a good funeral. Where do you think they are?

Sam

Hard to say. A lot of places in the world with C4 and yogurt. We'll be here for them. They'll contact us when the time is right. Got any plans?

Jesse

Not really, no. You?

Sam

I'm supposed to meet a guy at the Carlito later. Friend of Elsa's.

Jesse

What about?

Sam

I don't know, some kind of problem. Sounded pretty desperate on the phone. Wanna come with?

Jesse

You buying the Mojitos?

Sam

Deal.
