The Bad Influence Speaks

White Collar: Wanted

Season 4, Episode 1

 

Neal and Mozzie are living the high, island life while Peter desperately searches for them to protect them from FBI Agent Kyle Collins and his dangerous methods. Mekhi Phifer guest stars.

Neal: That almost sounds like regret, something you said you don't believe in.

 

Mozzie: Just so I'm clear. You can have any woman you want and the one woman you choose is the only woman in the whole archipelago who doesn't want you?
Neal: You have your pursuits. I have mine.

 

Neal: Have you ever considered us normal people, Moz?

 

Mozzie: Neal, the suit isn't wrong.
Peter: Can't you just say I'm right?
Mozzie: Rather not.

Comments:
○Does Mekhi Phifer ever play a likable character?

○I'd missed that Peter warned Neal off at the end of last season. Damn, I hate myself for that.
○He was born in St. Louis? Nice new pre-criminal career titbit.
○I have high hopes for this season being Neal, Mozzie and Peter on the run from the FBI. Neal got to know Peter's life first hand. It's good for Peter to know Neal's.

 

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Judgment Day

 

Season 3, Episode 16

 

It is time for Neal's commutation hearing but Agent Kramer is making waves that could disrupt everything. Beau Bridges guest stars.

Mozzie: Well behind every worst case scenario there's a worse worst case scenario.
Neal: Isn't there a child whose balloon you need to pop somewhere?

Comments:
1) Damn that Kramer.
2) I love getting more of Neal's backstory.
3) Nice jump between trams. They don't have much action of that variety so you miss out on the fact that Neal is supposed to have all the skills of a second story man.



Spoiler if you haven't seen the episode. Scroll down a little bit to get to the pictures and avoid this part.

4) They set us up for this ending when Peter told Kramer that you can't push Neal into a corner. That he'll always run if you do that. Part of me has wanted to see him on the run since the beginning. Season 4 should be exciting as Neal and Mozzie evade Peter and Kramer all over the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Stealing Home

 

Season 3, Episode 15

 

Neal is getting close to his hearing and hopefully won't damage things when he steps into a job with a well liked con artist in an effort to catch him.

Mozzie: Have you ever considered that some criminals are too smart to get caught?
Peter: No.

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Pulling Strings

 

Season 3, Episode 14

 

Peter doesn't want to be disturbed on the weekend of Elle's birthday so he loans Neal out to Sara for an investigation and has Diana keep an eye on them. Agent Kramer is up from DC and snooping in the files about Neal. Beau Bridges, Tom Skerrit, and Debra Monk guest star.

Neal: You're loaning me to my ex-girlfriend?

 

Neal: Honest women make me feel uncomfortable anyway.
Sara: Why is that? Because you're not honest with them?
Neal: I hate feeling at a disadvantage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Neighborhood Watch

 

Season 3, Episode 13

 

 

Elle overhears the plot for a possible crime when Peter leaves some surveillance equipment at the house. He thinks she's being paranoid after her close call with Keller so she recruits Mozzie and Neal to check up on the neighbors. Joe Manganiello and Lola Glaudini guest star.

Mozzie: Oh, our survival hinges on assuming total destruction is a hairs breath away. Never ignore your instincts.

 

Mozzie: I would normally let aspiring criminals do their thing, but for you I'll make an exception.

 

Peter: Even when Neal's not around I end up eating dinner with grand larcenists.

 

Peter: Made yourself at home at the Stardust.
Neal: Oh, when you do a rubbing at a strip club, your options are limited.
Peter: Oh, I'm tempted to make a rubbing at a strip club joke.
Neal: Slid it right across the plate for you.

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Upper West Side Story

Season 3, Episode 12

 

A student at an exclusive prep school believes the scholarship funds are being embezzled from the endowment. Peter goes undercover as a prospective parent, but Neal steals the show when he accidentally ends up as a substitute literature teacher.

Neal: Did Hogwarts book a field trip?
Peter: Looks like it.

 

Peter: It's like you're an alias savant.

 

Mozzie: Well, Neal is more of a romantic and I'm a Machiavellian puppet master so what we're going to give you is game...to get the girl.

 

Mozzie: Do you know how many women I've wooed using an apropos quote from Victorian literature?

 

Amber: Oh, I love Aspen except for the snow.

 

Mozzie: You'll be happy to know I just did the equivalent of the hoisting of the boom box.

Comments:
1) Lying lessons. I would have loved those as a kid. I only mastered BSing (according to my sister).
2) Wow Matt Bomer can do Byron. Oh, can he ever do Byron. For non-poetry aficionados, you can see the full poem at poets.org. I think what I need is a clip of that so I can play it whenever I'm feeling down, or lonely, or it's Tuesday. Whatever.

White Collar: Checkmate

 

 

Season 3, Episode 11

 

Keller has Elle and Peter and Neal must track down Mozzie and the treasure if they hope to rescue her. Ross McCall guest stars.

Neal: Picture yourself shooting Keller right now?

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: Countdown

Season 3, Episode 10

 

The Degas that Mozzie sold to finance the hit on Keller turns up with an arms dealer. Neal and Mozzie must find a way to prevent Peter from finding out it is real. Anna Chumsky and Beau Bridges guest star.

Mozzie: The sparrow dies at midnight.
Neal: I'd hate to be the sparrow.

 

Mozzie: That does leave one question: Do you want to stay?
Neal: I'll let you know.

 

Neal: We've got a problem.
Mozzie: Uh, we should maybe copyright that phrase.

 

Kramer: Searching for the truth is what makes you a good agent. You can't always be right. In fact, the hardest thing to do is admit when you're wrong.

 

Mozzie: Neal, I've been really patient, but it's time for you to make a choice. Do you want to leave or not?
Neal: No. There are things about this life I'm not ready to give up.

White Collar Quotes

White Collar: On the Fence

Season 3, Episode 9

 

Matthew Keller returns wanting the treasure Neal and Mozzie stole. He uses one of his scams involving importing antiquities from Egypt. Eliza Dushku guest stars.

Peter: Tell you what, when you're an FBI agent and I'm the ward of a prison system, we'll do it your way.

 

Peter: Neal Caffrey suggest that someone shouldn't keep secrets from their partner? Where's this coming from?
Neal: Someone who keeps a lot of secrets.

 

Mozzie: It's open season on Keller. Spoils go to the victor.

Comments:
1) Eliza Dushku looks fantastic as the Egyptologist who moonlights as a fence.
2) Keller's "Interpol agent" sounds like he's trying to copy Mark Sheppard's Jim Stirling from Leverage but dumber. And also failing spectacularly.
