Mr. T: B.A. Baracus

Quotes 

• B.A. Baracus : Losing someone you love is hard. And there's nothing anyone can say or do that'll make it any easier. It's just gonna take time. That's the only thing that'll make it easier, just time.

• "Hannibal" Smith : Of course, we do have one problem, though, eh, we're going to have to fly to Kenia, and B.A. is... well, he's not that fond of airplanes.

  B.A. Baracus : [refusing to lose face in front of their female client]  What you talking about, man?

  "Hannibal" Smith : Eh, well, eh, you know, how you're eh...

  Murdock : Scared. The word is scared. Scared. You're scared to fly.

  B.A. Baracus : Huh, me? Scared of flying? That's just an act I put on sometime. I ain't afraid of nothing!

  Kamora Kaboko : Great. There's a flight that leaves tonight.

• Murdock : Well, B.A. Baracus, what's it feel like now you here? You taking it all in? It's hard to imagine that, centuries ago, your tribesmen, settled right here, on this ground upon which we lay. Look at the dirt, go on, look at it, look at it, look at it. The tips of their toes curdled around each particle of dirt right here in the palm of my hand. The ashes from their campfires, right here in the palm of my hand. The drippings from their pots and pans, right here in the palm of my hand. The leftovers after Sunday dinner right here in the palm of my hand. B.A. Baracus, this is your roots!

  B.A. Baracus : [grabs the dirt]  This is dirt, fool, which I'm gonna stuff in your face if you don't shut up.

  [walks off] 

  Faceman : What's the matter with him?

  Murdock : Eh! Nostalgia.

• Murdock : [B.A.'s patrolling the grounds, a loud roar is heard, Murdock appears at the window]  What was that?

  B.A. Baracus : Nothing, go back to sleep, your watch is next.

  [roar is heard again] 

  Murdock : That's a great big nothing.

  B.A. Baracus : Yeah it is. Put your pants on and come on out here.

  Murdock : Why me? The next shift isn't even for...

  B.A. Baracus : Put them on and get out here!

  Murdock : Aw, you're just 230 pounds worth of fear.

• McKaydoo : The last warden disappeared because he didn't listen. The one before him retired, a very rich man.

  "Hannibal" Smith : Well I'm not retiring, and I'm already rich.

  B.A. Baracus : Yeah, and I'm already mean!
