You know Michael I almost didn't come tonight. Pablo made a pretty good case finding an operative like you cooling his heels in the DR sounded almost too good to be true.
Glad to know I have a fan.

If that bastard knows what's good for him, he'll come back home in the next thirty minutes.
You're not gonna make it to happy hour, Sam. Let it go.
If I don't, this is gonna be a lot more snatching than grabbing, I can tell ya that much.
What the hell does that even mean?
You're gonna find out what it means.
Why did you park so far away?
I didn't want to be blocked in. I had a notion you were doing more than slashing the tires
You think you know me, McBride?
I'm learning...
This Lone Ranger thing might feel noble, but it's going to get you killed one day.
Actually, even the Lone Ranger had Tonto and the horse.
Yeah. [points to himself] Tonto... [points to Sam] and horse.

To do what we do you have to be willing to give up everything. I went straight from the GRU to this. This is the only life I know. I never had a chance for friends or a family. I threw them away lightly.
[smashes a snow globe] I HAVE GIVEN UP EVERYTHING! LOOK AT THIS PLACE, I HAVE NOTHING! My friends, they moved on. Built new lives without me. I look in their eyes and all I see is pity. My brother is dead. (crying) My mother will never forgive me for getting him killed. This thing that your part of, you're the only thing I have left.
SSonya
That's one thing we have in common.
[They kiss]
[Michael is asked how he became so skilled]
[on interrogation drugs] My training kicked in. Look at my time in Kiev. That many high risk ops in seven months, you grow stronger or you die.
JJames
Gradual improvements that come with training and experience had something to do with it but that is only the icing on the cake.
[Michael hallucinates a camp fire]
JJames
What's happening, what are you seeing?
I don't know... I don't know (tries to chuckle)
JJames
Michael, you only need to put yourself there to find the answer.
(laughing) Your taking about me kid. I am the answer.
[her last words] This one's for my boys. [triggers bomb]
[after Michael and Fiona's "funeral"]
Well, they missed a good funeral. Where do you think they are?
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?
Not really, no. You?
I'm supposed to meet a guy at the Carlito later. Friend of Elsa's.
What about?
I don't know, some kind of problem. Sounded pretty desperate on the phone. Wanna come with?
You buying the Mojitos?
Deal.
[The series' last lines]
[about Charlie, asleep in his lap] What will I tell him when he's older?
About what?
About me.
Tell him the truth.
Where would I start?
Start from the beginning. Start with, "My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy."
