Burn Notice (TV Series)

Hard Out (2011)

Sharon Gless: Madeline Westen

Quotes 

• Michael Westen : [narrative]  To hit a facility directly, you just need a gun and the willingness to use it. Less-bloody approaches require fewer bullets but more planning... and more recruiting.

  Madeline Westen : You want me to do *what?*!

  Sam Axe : All you gotta do is tell them that your car broke down. Ask to use the john, toss the doodad in the trash, and split. Easy peasy, no big deal.

  Madeline Westen : No big deal? You're asking me to plant a bomb, Sam!

  Fiona Glenanne : It's a smoke bomb, timed to go off after everybody leaves. Nobody gets hurt... you know, except us if you say no.

  Madeline Westen : Who's this guy who wants you to rob a-a-a weapons company?

  Madeline Westen : Don't bother. Fi hasn't been too forthcoming about this Armand guy.

  Madeline Westen : You want me to get anywhere near this, you better start talking, honey.

  Fiona Glenanne : [sighs]  Armand got me out of Ireland when nobody else could: passport, visa, cash. But his help wasn't free.

  Madeline Westen : What does that mean: "wasn't free"?

  Fiona Glenanne : Well, my price for my ticket to the U.S. was lookout duty on a job in Belfast. Turns out that job was a kidnapping.

  Madeline Westen : Okay. Who was kidnapped? Jesus.

  Fiona Glenanne : Not an angel... but nobody who'd done any harm to me. I-I didn't know until after.

  Fiona Glenanne : [inhales deeply]  Armand kept his word. He always does.

  Sam Axe : Look, the point is, if we're gonna find out who framed Mike for murder, we got to heist that place, Maddy.

  Fiona Glenanne : And we'd like to do it without killing anyone, so...

  Madeline Westen : So, fine. I'll do it.

• [last lines] 

  Madeline Westen : Oh, there they are. Hi!

  [Madeline chuckles] 

  Madeline Westen : Benny, may I introduce my son, Michael?

  Benny : Michael.

  Madeline Westen : And he very special lady, Fiona.

  Benny : My pleasure.

  Benny : [to Madeline about her chair]  Here, let me get that for you.

  Madeline Westen : Oh, thank you.

  Benny : Mm hmm.

  Madeline Westen : Dinner is my treat. Benny actually sat through an entire stretching class with me today, so I owe him.

  Benny : It was a blast - in a "I hope we never have to do it again" kind of way.

  [Benny laughs] 

  Madeline Westen : I knew it. You are so bad!

  Benny : Michael, your mom has told me so much about you.

  Fiona Glenanne : Well, I took the liberty of ordering some wine. May I?

  Benny : Please.

  [both chuckle] 

  Benny : How about a toast from the young lovebirds? What do you say?

  Madeline Westen : [raising her glass]  Yes. Michael, a toast.

  [Fiona holds up her glass and looks at Michael sternly] 

  Michael Westen : To supportive partners.

  Fiona Glenanne : Ohh. Supportive partners.

  Madeline Westen , Benny : Supportive partners.

  [Michael and Fi wait a moment, then drink]
