Michael Westen:
[voice-over]
My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy. Until... voice on phone: [phone rings] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted. Michael Westen: [voice-over] When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in. Michael Westen: Where am I? Fiona Glenanne: Miami. Michael Westen: [voice-over] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend... Fiona Glenanne: Shall we shoot them? Michael Westen: [voice-over] An old friend who used to inform on you to the FBI... Sam Axe: You know spies... bunch of bitchy little girls. Michael Westen: [voice-over] Family too... Sam Axe: [phone rings] Hey, is that your Mom again? Michael Westen: [voice-over] ... if you're desperate. Madeline Westen: Someone needs your help, Michael! Michael Westen: [voice-over] Bottom line? Until you figure out who burned you... you're not going anywhere. See more » |
