Does this new handler of yours set all her meetings with crossword puzzles? Or is she just flirtin' with ya?

These people burned me, blacklisted me and threatened my family. I think we're a little past flirting.
Michael Westen:
Gonna need a fresh face on this one, someone he won't expect.
Fiona Glenanne:
You know how I feel about money launders. The last one I dealt with, they're still finding pieces of him all over Belfast.
Michael Westen:
Do it for me?
Fiona Glenanne:
Your charms no longer have any effect on me Michael.
Michael Westen:
Do it for all the yogurt you can eat?
Fiona Glenanne:

[
voice-over] Most people think distracting a group of guys is best done by a beautiful woman. The problem with beautiful women is people want them to stick around; which can cause a lot of problems. Obnoxious guys, they just want to get rid of.

[
voice-over] People don't trust information they get for free. If you wanna sell someone on a lie, you have to make them drag it out of you. It's effective, but often painful.

I've always liked to think that the "C" in counseling stands for communication.
Madeline Westen:
Michael? You still haven't fixed my coffee maker and I can't find the warranty.

voice-over] Relationships are about trust. People trust you when they have something on you. Like, say, the name and address of a mistress in Orlando, or information about a secret gambling habit. It's all about making them feel secure.
Michael Westen:
That stalker happens to have a Mac-10 in his jacket!

pauses and looks at Sam]
Michael Westen:
Oh, you knew didn't you?
Sam Axe:
Mike, look, I did a little pre-scouting; I knew he was packing, but I didn't know he had a Mac-10. I thought it was like a regular gun.
Sophia:
Campos is in a turf war with the Mexicans. They put a hit out on him last week. It's pretty ugly.
Michael Westen:
Ugly's good. We can work with ugly.
Sophia:
How?
Michael Westen:
I need to get in with Raul. Quietly make myself useful; get some information. Then I let Campos know that Raul is spilling information to a new friend behind his back. Campos deals with Raul for us and it looks like you had nothing to do with it.

Fiona Glenanne:
Oh, I like where this is going.
