* In "[[Recap/TheATeamS2E21DeadlyManuevers Deadly Manuevers]]", the A-Team is temporarily between missions and Hannibal decides it's a good time for some training. What the A-Team does to keep themselves in shape is rather impressive -- crawling across fields under a hail of bullets and racing through an obstacle course, with the person who comes in last having to do more running.

* Murdock and Hannibal get a double in ''The Beast from the Belly of a Boeing'' when Murdock is (temporarily) blinded by a muzzleflash and he has to coach Hannibal through landing a plane. Murdock can tell how Hannibal is doing just by the sound of the plane and the tilting, and with his coaching, Hannibal lands (mostly) safely, despite the only experience he'd had previously was one lesson with an instructor where he got to hold the stick for a couple of minutes.

* Season Two. The Team is going after a baron who whips up and sells poisoned moonshine. Hannibal and Tawnia are infiltrating one of the clubs where this drink is sold. After patting Hannibal down, the guys who run the club determine that Tawnia cannot possibly be hiding any weapons on her person. She produces a gun, to their surprise. One of them says "[[TemptingFate You wouldn't]]", to which Hannibal, taking the gun, replies:
-->'''Hannibal:''' "Oh, she wouldn't. But I'm a whole 'nother stretch of road." *A-Team starts shooting*

* Face gets a good one in the fourth-season episode "There Goes the Neighborhood". The team has been hiding out from a group of kidnappers in suburbia, passing the time by annoying the local drug smugglers. This impresses the locals so much the make Hannibal block captain of the neighborhood watch, which irritates the smugglers no end. So, when the kidnappers show up and start interrogating Face about the password into the team's other safehouse (which they have inexplicably confused with the drug dealers' place), what does Face tell them to say? "It's the new block captain." Cue one of the show's only three-way gunfights when the kidnappers follow this advice.
