- (Murdock tries to find a disguise for B.A.)
  Murdock: (holding out a cowboy hat) How about this hat? You could play like you're a cowboy, and then it'd be just you and me, Cowboys and Indians!
  B.A.: I'm gonna play stagecoach, fool, and run you over if you don't shut up!
  EDIT SHARE
- Face: Hannibal, this is the third time this month I've got hit in the eye. I'm beginning to lose my sense of humor.
  Hannibal: Face, a little ice'll do wonders. And it looks good, gives it a little needed character.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mason: Whatever Winnetka's paying ya, I'll match it, I'll double it.
  Hannibal: I like mathematical progression, but we're a little picky about who we work for.
  B.A.: Yeah, real picky!
  EDIT SHARE
- B.A.: I don't wear disguises, Hannibal.
  Murdock: Not even a feather for your hair?
  B.A.: Get this crazy fool away from me. You ain't no real Indian! Real Indians don't look and act like a crazy fool.
  EDIT SHARE
- Murdock: I don't wanna be a secret weapon! I want to be an exposed weapon!
  EDIT SHARE
- Hannibal: It's not nice to impersonate the A-Team, that's us.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- In Murdock's flooded room at the V.A., there is a life preserver ring labeled "Titanic"; floating inside are three rubber duckies.
  
  The 1912 ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg just before midnight on April 14 and had sunk completely by 2:20 a.m. on April 15. There were life preserver rings on the Titanic; however, they were white with no lettering, unlike the one in Murdock's room.
  EDIT SHARE
- Murdock: You fools! You didn't bring your Murdock. What's the matter, phony Face? Couldn't break him out? (He presses half a fruit into the face of "phony Face.")
  
  Murdock's gesture of shoving the fruit into the face of "phony Face" echoes a famous scene from the 1931 film Public Enemy, in which James Cagney pushes half a grapefruit into Mae Clarke's face.
