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?

Divya Katdare : ["Characters Welcome" crossover ad with "Royal Pains": Divya Katdare is diagnosing Sam in a bar] It could be excessive blood loss or hypoglycemia. Are you on a diuretic?
Sam Axe : No.
Divya Katdare : Perhaps it's even psychogenic polydipsia.
Sam Axe : Oh?
Divya Katdare : Any one of those could be causing your excessive thirst.
Sam Axe : I see.
Waiter : [gives Sam a beer bottle] Here you go, sir.
Sam Axe : Thank you.
[he takes a drink from it]
Sam Axe : Hey! What do you know? It's gone! It's like a miracle cure!
Divya Katdare : Miraculous.
Sam Axe : Doesn't mean it's stopped. Sammy's very sick.
Divya Katdare : Is this how you usually pick up women?
Sam Axe : No, usually I just get 'em drunk. Waiter!

Sam Axe : ["Characters Welcome" crossover ad with "Royal Pains": Sam's drinking a mojito when Evan R. Lawson calls him on his cellphone] Evan! How's HankMed?
Evan R. Lawson : Forget HankMed. One word: "Spyami."
Sam Axe : "Spyami?"
Evan R. Lawson : The future #1 spy-for-hire agency in all of South Florida.
Sam Axe : [incredulous] Uh-huh?
Evan R. Lawson : Just imagine benches and T-shirts and coffee mugs! We're going to be rich but it's going to be amazing!
Sam Axe : Oh no, I'm going into a canyon here in Miami.
[makes garbled noises]
Evan R. Lawson : I'm going to call you right back. You stay right there. I'm going to call you right back.
