Dwight Schultz: 'Howling Mad' Murdock

Quotes 

• Faceman : I don't believe that. Do you believe that? Do you believe those guys bought that?

  Murdock : Look, you can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but that sucker back there we could have fooled every time.

  Faceman : Yeah, they don't make them bad guys like they used to, do they?

• "Hannibal" Smith : Of course, we do have one problem, though, eh, we're going to have to fly to Kenia, and B.A. is... well, he's not that fond of airplanes.

  B.A. Baracus : [refusing to lose face in front of their female client]  What you talking about, man?

  "Hannibal" Smith : Eh, well, eh, you know, how you're eh...

  Murdock : Scared. The word is scared. Scared. You're scared to fly.

  B.A. Baracus : Huh, me? Scared of flying? That's just an act I put on sometime. I ain't afraid of nothing!

  Kamora Kaboko : Great. There's a flight that leaves tonight.

• Murdock : Well, B.A. Baracus, what's it feel like now you here? You taking it all in? It's hard to imagine that, centuries ago, your tribesmen, settled right here, on this ground upon which we lay. Look at the dirt, go on, look at it, look at it, look at it. The tips of their toes curdled around each particle of dirt right here in the palm of my hand. The ashes from their campfires, right here in the palm of my hand. The drippings from their pots and pans, right here in the palm of my hand. The leftovers after Sunday dinner right here in the palm of my hand. B.A. Baracus, this is your roots!

  B.A. Baracus : [grabs the dirt]  This is dirt, fool, which I'm gonna stuff in your face if you don't shut up.

  [walks off] 

  Faceman : What's the matter with him?

  Murdock : Eh! Nostalgia.

• Murdock : [to head poacher]  Hey! I wonder how your white suit is gonna look hanging up on a wall or maybe in front of a fireplace like a throw rug.

• Murdock : Colonel, when the going get's tough, the tough get aeronautical. But... can I take Kong with me?

  "Hannibal" Smith : No, but you can take Face with you.

  Murdock : That's not the same thing.

  "Hannibal" Smith : I know it's not.

• Murdock : [posh British accent]  You are a disease. You are an infection. And I only wish a court of law recognized the antidote.

• Murdock : [B.A.'s patrolling the grounds, a loud roar is heard, Murdock appears at the window]  What was that?

  B.A. Baracus : Nothing, go back to sleep, your watch is next.

  [roar is heard again] 

  Murdock : That's a great big nothing.

  B.A. Baracus : Yeah it is. Put your pants on and come on out here.

  Murdock : Why me? The next shift isn't even for...

  B.A. Baracus : Put them on and get out here!

  Murdock : Aw, you're just 230 pounds worth of fear.

• Murdock : [B.A.'s freaking out after waking up to a monkey on his bed]  First we find out you're afraid of flying, and now you're afraid of simians.

  Faceman : Monkeys!
