Gabrielle Anwar: Fiona Glenanne

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Spies come from all walks of life, and no two are exactly alike. But whether they're a burned former operative, a beautiful bomber with a temper, or a hard drinking ex-SEAL, they all share one trait: punctuality.

  Sam Axe : [laughing, pointing at girl at bar]  Hey.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Showing up on time means you're 15 minutes late.

  Fiona Glenanne : [throws origami crane at Sam]  It's noon, Michael! Where the hell is this guy?

  Michael Westen : [sighs] 

  Fiona Glenanne : You think he's still coming?

  Sam Axe : Look, I wouldn't mind, honestly, if Jesse just faded into the mist. I really don't think we need a counterintelligence agent joining our merry band.

  Michael Westen : Jesse's investigating the very same people we are, Sam. They nearly killed everyone at this table. I say he hear him out.

  Fiona Glenanne : Sure. Get a guy fired, ruin his life; I'd say you owe him a Mojito and a friendly shoulder to cry on, at the very least.

  Michael Westen : I didn't burn him on purpose, Fi.

  Fiona Glenanne : Well, *he* may not see it that way.

  Michael Westen : Let's try not to mention it.

  Sam Axe : Ah, here we are. Looks like Jesse got here on time after all.

  ["Jesse" / "Recently burned spy"] 

• Michael Westen : [cover blown, threatened with a slow death starting with a gunshot to the knee]  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Okay, okay, I'll talk! No, I'm gonna talk. I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Holding someone's arms behind their back is a good technique for a bully on the playground, but it leaves you very exposed.

  Michael Westen : I'm gonna talk.

  Michael Westen : [narrative as he does so]  A well placed kick right beneath the knee will cripple your opponent, and a crippled opponent can be a great weapon.

  [Michael spins to deflect the gun, throws the holder into the shooter, punches the shooter with a left hook and right uppercut, and knees the holder on the ground in the head] 

  Jesse Porter : The guy can handle himself. I'll give him that.

  Fiona Glenanne : He has his moments.

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  Creating the *illusion* of force is one of the oldest tricks in warfare. The rise of the private security guard has made it a lot easier. Post a job opening on the Internet in the morning, and by lunch, you can have a whole platoon of muscular guys in black blazers.

  Fiona Glenanne : 17-inch arms?

  [man nods] 

  Fiona Glenanne : Huh. Lose the jacket. Let me see 'em.

  [he bares his right arm and flexes it] 

  Fiona Glenanne : Hmm. You've got a job.

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  Hire some heavy-duty SUVs to put your "security force" in place...

  Fiona Glenanne : Next!

  Michael Westen : [narrative]  ... and it'll look just like you've got troops ready for battle.

• Jesse Porter : About a year ago, I'm workin' for the Defense Department. Get wind of some nasty business - bombings, assassinations, kidnappings, you name it - it was global, but it looked like there was a pattern to me.

  Michael Westen : Is that what brought you down to Miami?

  Jesse Porter : Yeah. Yeah, I was looking at weapons supply lines into the hottest spots, found a connection right here at the port. A lot of guns coming off of ships that passed through Algeria.

  Sam Axe : You got a source?

  Jesse Porter : I made contact with a guy shippin' artillery for one of the operations, told him I wanted to move some guns of my own.

  Fiona Glenanne : Did you get a name or a face?

  Jesse Porter : Only spoke on the phone. He had this, uh... this trippy voice. It was like...

  Jesse Porter : [imitating]  ... sort of like a low hiss.

  Jesse Porter : It was weird, so I called him Cobra.

  Sam Axe : Cobra?

  Sam Axe : [laughs]  I'm sorry. That's just a - a crappy code name.

  Jesse Porter : Oh. Well, maybe you can make up the code names when it's *your* investigation. How about that? So, I was supposed to meet up with him a couple weeks ago. He didn't show up. Now, I don't know if he got cold feet or what, but if we can find him, we can crack this thing wide open.

  Michael Westen : Looks like we're gonna spend some time down on the docks.

  Sam Axe : Now, hold on, Mike, this sounds dangerous. Before you sign us up for this mission, I want to ask our friend here a very important question. What kind of snacks do you like?
