B.A. Baracus quotes from The A Team

Stockwell

Where are Peck and Murdock?

Frankie

Well, uh, Face saw a girl he knows and Murdock, he, he saw....

B.A

Somethin' in his head, aint' no tellin' what it was.

Stockwell

I believe my instructions to stand by were quite clear.

Frankie

Well, you know how impulsive boys can be.

Frankie

I've always thought of Johnny as some kind of ... Superman ya' know?

B.A

There ain't no body!

Frankie

They don't always find a body B.A

Murdock

Hey Frankie, do you know something we don't know? Why are you trying to convince us that Hannibal's dead?

Frankie

I'm not! I'm just trying to face facts. Everything we've heard so far says that Johnny's not alive.

Face

Frankie, there's not a shred of hard evidence that says that he's dead.

Frankie

Yeah, except that goon back there who says he was killed!

Murdock

WELL YOU SHOULDN'T BE LISTENING TO GOONS!!!

Murdock

I'm, I'm sorry, i'm sorry. It's just that g- goons are not a very reliable source of information you know.

Face

Yeah, see the bottom line here Frankie is that were not gonna believe Hannibal's dead until we get some proof.

Murdock

If there's no body, then Hannibal is alive.

Face

I think the key to this whole mess is Bobby, that little peddycab peddler.

Frankie

Yeah how come you haven't let Stockwell in on that one!?

Murdock

Stockwell? Stockwell? Stockwell doesn't give a rats tail whether Hannibal is alive or dead!

B.A

You got that right crazy man.

Stockwell

O.K we're upgrading the status of this mission to Code Red. Now according to Colonel Smith's message, we've got 16 hours before the plutonium shipment changes hands. I have arranged for our friend back there to be picked up in a half an hour. So I want you to stay here until then.

Face

B.A and Frankie will uh, cover this end here for you, Murdock and I have something we've gotta check out.

Stockwell

No, you're not checking anything out until the prisoner is picked up. Then I want you to meet Alice and me at Hop Louies. Understood?

Stockwell

Is there a problem?

Murdock

Yes. We do not believe that Hannibal is dead, General.

Stockwell

That's an interesting fantasy, but we don't deal in fantasies in this business.

Frankie

Fantasy? Whoa, whoa, whoa wait just a minute here. This situation is NO FANTASY!

Stockwell

Well, perhaps that was the wrong choice of words. No commander rests easily when one of his men has fallen. But men do die. Colonel Smith understood that. He took that responsibility. Now, we've got fifteen hours and fifty-eight minutes to find the plutonium, or it won't matter whether Hannibal Smith is alive or dead. The only thing that will matter, is whether he died in vain.

Stockwell

Now, you went against my instructions and got involved in this peddycab mess. They tried to kill you. Face and Murdock get up to leave while Stockwell has his back turned . Obviously our cover was blown the minute you stepped in the hotel.

Frankie

Uh, Face saw a girl.

B.A

And Murdock saw something in his head.

Murdock

Just think: if we get a pardon, we may never have to eat a knuckle sandwich again!

BA

I wouldn’t bet on it crazy man. Looks like Hannibal’s on the jazz again!

Face

Oh no…

Murdock

[to Hannibal] No, you tell me right now, you tell me right to my face, you tell me that you don’t have a plan.

Hannibal

Well, I...I was thinking, like Bernie and George. What are we gonna do when this thing’s over? I mean, what are we really qualified to do?

Face

Go after thugs in the park…

Hannibal

And outlaw motorcycle gangs…organized crime figures… why, there’s a world of slime-balls out there!

Murdock

I knew it. I just knew you had a plan.

Hannibal

Comforting, isn’t it?

BA

I'll get the van.
