Go To

  • Funny Moments: Shaw's snarky cynicism leads to some great lines.
    • Shaw: "He put her on an airplane with a bomb in her suitcase. If the security hadn't found it she would have gone up with everything else. The song says there must be 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover — make that 51."
    • Shaw: "Don't think of it as cheating on your wife, think of it as… fucking for your flag!"
    • Not that Amos gets left out. Shaw is fretting after sending Annibal into Libya.
      Shaw: What's going on in there?
      Amos: Hopefully, safe sex.
    • Annibal does a training exercise where he has to work out if someone has been in his wife's house while he was away. He works out that she's lying, then accuses Shaw of sleeping with his wife.
    • After being roughed up by Mossad, Annibal says he's going to sue everyone in the Israeli government, from the mook who broke his ribs to Golda Meir. Shaw informs him that Golda Meir is dead.
      Annibal: Then you might want to have them dig her up because I intend to sue her.
