The A-Team (TV Series)

Trial by Fire (1986)

David Ackroyd: Major Laskov

Quotes 

• [at court, Hannibal describes how they had robbed the bank] 

  Mayor Laskov : That's quite a heroic saga, Colonel. How much did you steal from the bank?

  Col. John "Hannibal" Smith : Ten million piasters.

  Mayor Laskov : That's about... one million US dollars. A bank of Hanoi audit showed a loss of fifty million piasters.

  Col. John "Hannibal" Smith : Then some North Vietnamese got very rich. All we got was ten million.

• General : Hannibal Smith is rather adept at invoking the element of surprise, Mayor.

  Mayor Laskov : With all due respect, sir, I don't think Colonel Smith's unorthodox strategies will be very effective in the face of a court martial. The A-Team will discover that the element of surprise is ours this time.
