[B.A. and Murdock were attacked by one of Boyle's men]
Hannibal: You're sure it was one of Boyle's men?
Murdock: Absolutely. It was that guy, Lupis. He's about 6'3', built like a bathtub.
[...]
Face: You want me to pick up WHO?
Hannibal: Eh ... Lupis. He works for Boyle. We saw him yesterday.
Face: Oh, yes. It's the big one, about 6'4', built like a chest of drawers?
Murdock: Yeah, that's the guy, guy. And you be careful. He almost killed B.A. He's at least 6'5', 240.
Hannibal: Now, I'm gonna check out his office. You check his house. If the guy Lupis shows, bag him.
Face: Wait, the guy's 6'6', 250 pounds. He almost killed B.A., and you want ME to bag him?
Hannibal: Sure.

[Murdock acts as if he was a crazy boss who is being threatened by some guys]
Murdock: Nobody comes in here and threatens me under my own roof. Especially when I'm eating a tuna-fish sandwich.

[Murdock has just told Face that AJ Bancroft was his father]
Face: What kind of a friend are you?
Murdock: Well it still might not be true. It's possible that he isn't your father.
Face: Yeah, and it's possible he is. Why didn't you tell me Murdock, why? Why- why did you hide it from me?
Murdock: Because AJ begged me not to tell you, and I said OK, but if he didn't tell you, then I would.
Face: I see, so you tell me now, huh, after he's dead. Well your timing stinks!
Murdock: WELL HE WAS DYING! What do you want me to do?! It was a last request!
Face: Oh, I see... Well, it's nice to know where your loyalties are. And who else have you told? Hannibal, BA, Frankie, the newspaper boy?
Murdock: No no... Just you, me and... Stockwell knows.
Face: Stockwell? You- you told Stockwell about my father but you can't tell me?! I swear, you know, I don't understand what motivates you. And you know something? You were always the one that I thought I could count on.
Murdock: Well you still can count on me!
Face: Oh really?! Now because of you I may have lost the only chance I had to find out who my father was. Did you think it wasn't important?
Murdock: Face-
Face: Ah, just leave me alone...
Murdock: Listen, there's more to this story-
Face: JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
[Face shoves Murdock to the ground. They stare at each other for a moment and Murdock gets up]
Murdock: Good... good, good. You're perfectly clear about that. But let me tell you one thing. You remember when I was in the van and you caught me on the phone? And I told you I was talking to Erica and I asked you for your advice. I said someone had come to me and they told me something about Erica but they begged me not to tell her about it, I said what should I do, you said to trust your gut instinct! Well it wasn't Erica I was talking about. It was you! And you were wrong! And let me tell you this: If AJ had not died, and if he had the opportunity to tell you, right now, here by this tree, you would be thanking me for holding back and not telling!
Face: Look, Murdock-
Murdock: No, don't say anything!... The one thing about you and me I've always liked... that's our fights. Because we don't have to... stumble over our lips... apologizing.

[Murdock pretends to be a crazy painter and brought off a deal. His partner wants to shake hands]
Murdock: Murdock does not shake hands, Murdock does not play sports, Murdock does not open canned food. Murdock paints.
[...]
Murdock: [holds up a pizza] Let us break pizza to cement the bargain.

After the A-Team freed some wild mustangs.
Murdock: Once again, the misterious Rider of the Range deals another triumphant blow for the rights of the oppressed.
Face: (to a man) Don't ask.
Man: I wasn't going to.

Face calls Hannibal.
Hannibal: Tomy Tillis? Crazy Tommy T?
Face: That's right. Crazy Tommy T. A guy like that that has mob connections out that wazoo, you know what I mean?
Hannibal: Yeah, but the question is, what's he got to do with Denham? And why put the pressure on Mickey to keep from putting his high-rise up?
Face: Whatever the reason, Hannibal. I don't think we wanna get in this guy's way. Crazy Tommy T hits a wall head on and there's nothing left but a pile of bricks.
Hannibal: Well, as soon as B.A. finishes paying off the crew, I'll take him and Murdock and I'll scout Denham. Now, you stick with Tillis. See what else you can find out.
Face: Stick with Tillis? Hannibal, I didn't plan on making a career out of this. You know, I'm in my Vette. Not exactly the most inconspicuous car to do a tail job in.
Hannibal: That'll work for you. He'd never think that anybody could be crazy enough to follow him with a car as flushy as that.
Face: You don't believe that?
Hannibal: No, but thought you'd feel better. Bye.

Murdock is laying on the tracks to hear if the train comes.
Murdock: No. No, I don't hear nothing.
Murdock's horse nods.
Murdock: Are you sure?
Horse whinnies and Murdock listens again.
Murdock: Well, I don't hear nothing but if you're positive that..."
B.A. grabs Murdock.
B.A.: I'm warning you, I've had enough of you talking to your invisible friend.
Murdock points at his horse.
Murdock: Does he look invisible? You can't see HIM?
B.A.: Invisible or not, I don't want you talking nothing to nobody. Got that?
Murdock: Well, I'm sorry but I'm not the one with the bad attitude. When someone talks to me I feel obliged to respond in kind.
B.A.: It's not a somebody! It's a horse! And horses don't talk!
Murdock: (sings) A horse is a horse, of course and no one can talk to a horse, of course, unless of course (B.A. starts to strangle him) the horse, of course is the famous Mr. Ed.
Face: (on the radio) Murdock, any sign?
Murdock chokes on the radio.
Face: (into the radio) B.A., take your hand off Murdock's throat.
Murdock: Yeah! (into the radio) Ed says ...
B.A. grabs the radio.
B.A.: (into the radio) Ain't no train coming!
Face: (to Hannibal) Who's Ed?
Hannibal: Guess?
Murdock's horse whinnies and train is audible.
Murdock: (into the radio) Train coming, muchachos. And I ain't tellin' you who told us.

Murdock opens his mouth to say something.
B.A.: Shut up, Murdock! Shut up!

Murdock's got a plant which lives in B.A.'s van. Then the van gets stolen.
B.A.: Hey, man, he's taking my van!
Murdock: B.A., will you stop acting like a crybaby? ... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. The little guy's in the van. They've got my plant! He's been plantnapped. Oh, they'll probably cut off a leave and send it to me to prove they've got him.
