Michael Westen, a seasoned U.S. spy, is suddenly "burned", i.e. discredited, without any form of procedure. He survives by doing impossible jobs for desperate people in Miami, where his mother lives. Michael is usually aided by his ex-girlfriend Fiona and trusted former FBI informer Sam. Written by KGF Vissers |

| Quotes |
Michael Westen:
[voice-over]
My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy. Until... voice on phone: [phone rings] We got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted. Michael Westen: [voice-over] When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in. Michael Westen: Where am I? Fiona Glenanne: Miami. Michael Westen: [voice-over] You do whatever work comes your way. You rely on anyone who's still talking to you. A trigger-happy ex-girlfriend... Fiona Glenanne: Shall we shoot them? 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? Michael Westen: [voice-over] ... if you're desperate. Madeline Westen: Someone needs your help, Michael! Michael Westen: [voice-over] Bottom line? Until you figure out who burned you... you're not going anywhere. See more » |
