Go To

You know they got me doing this, doing that
And little bit of something else
Fighting cavities of evil, safeguarding America's health
But an afternoon pass, I don't get up off my ass
Thank you Jesus 'cause I, I'm a secret agent man
Devo, "Secret Agent Man"

"It's good tradecraft, but it's like hanging out in your dentist's reception area 24 hours a day. You read magazines, sip coffee, and every once in a while someone tries to kill you."
Michael Westen, Burn Notice

Sam Fisher: Nice suit. Italian?
Displace Executive: Ah! Oh no... ah... I-Italian... yes, uh, Florentine silk, Andretti...
Fisher: Who's Andretti?
Executive: Andretti? Uh, famous designer... men's suits, tuxedos...
Fisher: I'm not a tuxedo kind of guy.
Executive: But... but you are... some kind of spy?
Fisher: Yeah, I'm the real kind, not the tuxedo kind. I'm the kind of spy that gets blood all over your Andretti unless you give me information!
Executive: Oh God, p-please, don't ruin my suit!
