Michael Westen: (whistles)
Michael Westen: (voice-over) 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 Westen: (groggily) Where am I?
Fiona Glenanne: Miami.
Michael Westen: (voice-over) You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you:
Michael Westen: (laughs tightly)
Michael Westen: (voice-over) ... a trigger-happy ex-girlfriend...
Fiona Glenanne: Should we shoot them?
Michael Westen: (voice-over) ... an old friend who's informing on you to the FBI...
Sam Axe: You know spies: bunch of bitchy little girls.
Michael Westen: (voice-over) ... family, too...
Sam Axe: (phone rings) Hey, is that your mom again?
Michael Westen: (voice-over) ... if you're desperate.
Madeline Westen: Someone needs your help, Michael.
Michael Westen: (voice-over) Bottom line: until you figure out who burned you, you're not going anywhere.
