(Face and Murdock throw B.A. out of a plane)
Face: Wait, did you pull his rip cord?
Murdock: No. Oh!
(Murdock jumps out of the plane) (edit)
Frankie: Have you tried tanning butter?
Murdock: Only on pancakes and it was pretty yucky, but it turned my tongue a nice shade of brown.
(Murdock sticks out his tongue) (edit)
Curtis: I remember you guys. You're the A-Team!
Hannibal: Boy, is that music to our ears. (edit)
Hannibal: He [Stockwell] says Captain Curtis is alive.
Murdock: Curtis is alive?
Face: Wait a minute: then he could testify that we hit that bank in Hanoi under orders. Yeah, then we'd uh -- we'd be free to be normal people. No offense, Murdock. (edit)
Stockwell: I work inside the system. I keep my skirts clean, I am a dedicated American patriot.
Hannibal: You're also a little pompous. (edit)

Trivia

add »
Murdock's shirt says: Stamp Out Cellulite. (edit)
Murdock is automatically assumed into the program, although his team membership has always been in question with the government. (edit)
New opening scenes and credits are rolled in this episode, the fifth season premiere. The theme song has also been reworked. (edit)
Goof:
Stockwell says "Your callsigns will be Empress 7 through 12."

There are only four members of the A-Team, and along with Frankie Santana, it would make a total of five.

"7 through 12" would be six numbered call-signs. (edit)
