FaceI'm allergic to bullets. Especially those headed into my direction.
I'm surprised the surgeon general let me out.
FaceHe didn't. I did. I had to bring your Uncle Deke into town.
How is Uncle Deke?
FaceYou don't have an Uncle Deke.
I'm sorry to hear that. I was beginning to like him.
FaceNo, you hated him. He used to beat you.
That creep!
FaceI got us a Gulfstream. Can you fly it?
Hey, brother. If it's got wings, I can fly it.
FaceGreat.
Hey, Face, what's a Gulfstream?
Hannibal is strapping an unconscious B.A. to his seat on the plane.
Excuse me, but what are you doing?
We're tying him up so he won't kill us if he comes-to.
I see. Excuse me again, but isn't he one of you, I mean isn't he on the team?
FaceYes.
So then why do you have to drug him?
He hates the pilot.
Hates the pilot? Why?
FaceBecause our pilot is insane.
So he's up there now, flying us?
FaceYes.
Murdock, who should be flying the plane, walks past singing. Face gets up and leads him back to the cockpit.
FaceWhat a kidder!
I'm not sure you are exactly what I bargained for.
Let's get something straight right now. You want your friend back. The authorities shined you on, so you went out and hired a bunch of gun-fighters. Now, if you wanted someone with good manners, you should've hired an English butler.
The pilot's really insane?
We think so.
Are you still being chased by the government?
That's right.
What I don't understand, is why you're not living in Switzerland, where it's safe?
Because we're not Swiss. We're Americans. We've got a little problem right now. But we'll work our way out of it somehow. In the mean time, we stick together and do what we do best
Face gets hit hard in the face.
(holds up three fingers) How many fingers am I holding up?
FaceBlue.
TRAAAAAASH BAGS! I want TRAAAAAASH BAGS! (gets one and stops shouting)
We give him one, and he shuts up for a couple of hours.
FaceHmmm. Interesting. If I could talk to him, I might be able to determine if it's a genuine neurotic fixation or if our boy is trying to section eight his way into the soft walls of a prison psych ward.
I sure would appreciate that. None of us can get any sleep around here.
Face and Hannibal get arrested by a county cop.
'Course you realize when we run these prints thruogh we are gonna find out who you guys are.
I told you before, we're ballet dancers.
FaceThat guy over at Doc's is our choreographer.
Yeah, we had a nasty audience. I don't think they liked our "pas the deux". Opened up on us from the first row with a .50-calibre machine gun.
We're offline Hannibal, all four mics are dead!
[from behind a newspaper] Looks like they found them.
FaceGreat, that means we've lost the edge. Up against guys like these that, that doesn't make me feel too good.
[Murdock opens his mouth to say something]
Shut up, Murdock! Shut up!... I told you this plan stinks!
Face(after their left wing started releasing smoke and the plane's altitude reader,fuel indicator, compass, and other things started messing up.) Murdock, what's gonna happen?
Looks like we're gonna crash.
FaceNo, c'mon, really. What's gonna happen?
(Their right engine stops) Looks like we're gonna crash... And die.
Murdock, B.A., take the right. Face, stay with me.
FaceUh, Hannibal, if we're gonna fight, I'd really prefer to be teamed with B.A.
Me too.
Are you guys saying you don't want to team up with me?
Yes!
Why?
I'll tell you why. Because when you're on the jazz man, you're dangerous!
What are you gonna do with us?
FaceWell, we were thinking maybe we'd tie you to a tree and leave you for the lions. They like a little snack at night.
Yeah, the get the munchies, right after Carson.
Could try the old Indian trick.
FaceStake 'em out over an anthill?
I've always liked it.
FaceUh, I don't know. I'm not sure how I'd get the ants to go for these two.
Oh, that's easy. Just stick an ice-cream con right in their pocket.
You guys are crazy.
Oh, he's crazy. We're just bad-tempered. Okay, start walking.
What, you are letting us go?
For now.
We'll never make it back on foot.
Try it on your hands and knees.
FaceYou don't have a plan, do you?
Of course I have a plan. But it's a secret.
Murdock is laying on the tracks to hear if the train comes.
No. No, I don't hear nothing.
Murdock's horse nods.
Are you sure?
Horse whinnies and Murdock listens again.
Well, I don't hear nothing but if you're positive that..."
B.A. grabs Murdock.
I'm warning you, I've had enough of you talking to your invisible friend.
Murdock points at his horse.
Does he look invisible? You can't see HIM?
Invisible or not, I don't want you talking nothing to nobody. Got that?
Well, I'm sorry but I'm not the one with the bad attitude. When someone talks to me I feel obliged to respond in kind.
It's not a somebody! It's a horse! And horses don't talk!
(sings) A horse is a horse, of course and no one can talk to a horse, of course, unless of course (B.A. starts to strangle him) the horse, of course is the famous Mr. Ed.
Face(on the radio) Murdock, any sign?
Murdock chokes on the radio.
Face(into the radio) B.A., take your hand off Murdock's throat.
Yeah! (into the radio) Ed says ...
B.A. grabs the radio.
(into the radio) Ain't no train coming!
Face(to Hannibal) Who's Ed?
Guess?
Murdock's horse whinnies and train is audible.
(into the radio) Train coming, muchachos. And I ain't tellin' you who told us.
After the A-Team freed some wild mustangs.
Once again, the misterious Rider of the Range deals another triumphant blow for the rights of the oppressed.
Face(to a man) Don't ask.
I wasn't going to.
Face calls Hannibal.
Tomy Tillis? Crazy Tommy T?
FaceThat's right. Crazy Tommy T. A guy like that that has mob connections out that wazoo, you know what I mean?
Yeah, but the question is, what's he got to do with Denham? And why put the pressure on Mickey to keep from putting his high-rise up?
FaceWhatever the reason, Hannibal. I don't think we wanna get in this guy's way. Crazy Tommy T hits a wall head on and there's nothing left but a pile of bricks.
Well, as soon as B.A. finishes paying off the crew, I'll take him and Murdock and I'll scout Denham. Now, you stick with Tillis. See what else you can find out.
FaceStick with Tillis? Hannibal, I didn't plan on making a career out of this. You know, I'm in my Vette. Not exactly the most inconspicuous car to do a tail job in.
That'll work for you. He'd never think that anybody could be crazy enough to follow him with a car as flushy as that.
FaceYou don't believe that?
No, but thought you'd feel better. Bye.
