What an excellent episode

9.5

By OnePerCentClub, Aug 22, 2011

You know, I really didn't watch season 1 fully so I don't know if there are any continuity errors or something like that, but I have to say that this is one of the best episodes. At least for me, there wasn't a moment where I felt lost, bored or not impressed with the story of how Neal met Peter and how everybody else got together to have this very dynamic team.

It was good to see Andrew McCarthy, loved him since his "Pretty in Pink" days and as the millionaire of "Lipstick Jungle".

I like how Neal is a criminal, but how much he was in love with Kate and there was nothing that could stop him.

Episodes like this make me want to see more and more.moreless

An excellent prelude to the coming episodes.

You must see this episode. It has got it all: Neal's background, Neal and Kate's romance story, music box, and Mozzie with a goatee. There's a new and interesting character, too: Victor Adler. It is definitely a prelude to the coming episodes. As each episode, this one is light, but you will get a feeling of something coming up. I can't wait to see what will happen next. And Kate Morell... wow! Just beautiful. I do hope we will see more of her soon. Maybe, just maybe she did not die in that explosion. I know thinking so is childish, but wouldn't it be wonderful?moreless

ADD QUOTES
- Neal: Why are you filling that bottle with bargain red?
  Mozzie: Have you studied Adler's wine list?
  Neal: Is that the '91 Bordeaux?
  Mozzie: The one year it was corked to the wrong bottle. Eight hundred dollars a pop. I, of course got this bottle empty (smells the wine, makes a face) Best served when the guests are drunk.
  EDIT SHARE
- Neal: (noticing Peter brought a six-pack of beer): Yeah, I'm not much of a beer drinker, so-
  Peter: I know. That's why I brought you this. (hands Neal a bottle of wine)
  Neal: Oh. I don't recognize the bottle.
  Peter: That's because it costs as much as a beer.
  Neal: Wow. I don't even need a corkscrew.
  EDIT SHARE
- Peter: I'll make you a deal. Full immunity for anything you say from this moment until the sun rises over that balcony.
  Neal: Full immunity?
  Peter: Did you kill anybody?
  Neal: No.
  Peter: Then full immunity.
  EDIT SHARE
- Neal: If you want to know about Adler, we got to start with Mozzie.
  Peter: Why am I not surprised?
  EDIT SHARE
- Peter: Mozzie had a goatee?
  Neal: Well, only to distract from his toupee.
  EDIT SHARE
- Neal: What was my nickname?
  Peter: What?
  Neal: Come on. Every case gets a nickname. Hagen was the Dutchman before you ID'd him. What was my nickname?
  Peter: Oh, don't recall.
  Neal: That's too bad. Well, the sooner you remember, the sooner we can move on.
  Peter: James Bonds.
  Neal: Bonds.
  Both: James Bonds.
  Peter: Yes, yes.
  Neal: Would you like another beer?
  Peter: Yeah.
  Neal: Shaken, not stirred?
  EDIT SHARE
- Neal: The teller was a real sweetheart.
  Mozzie: Oh, she gave you a sucker. You know, the irony of that would not be lost on Alanis Morissette.
  EDIT SHARE
- Mozzie: Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
  Neal: St. Augustine.
  Mozzie: Good. You've been reading.
  Neal: Smart guy told me to.
