White CollarHey Collars, I decided to try something different this time and make the quotes article more in line with what I do with Supernatural. Sound off in the comments below about how you would like to see the quotes go next season. Of course, also sound off about your favorite quotes too. White Collar has a lot of delicious dialogue so it makes discussion fun. Plus stay tuned this week for the beginning of our favorite season 4 episode contest. We will start by ranking the episodes and then do a head-to-head competition until we get to a final winner.

My favorite quote by far was Neal: "Family doesn't show up on your doorstep after 30 years. They're the ones who've been there when you need them." I love when Neal and Peter admit that they are family, especially since that brotherly bond is what hooked me into the show to begin with. I also like all the Mozzisms of course.
ReplyDeleteI liked James' Gin Quote
ReplyDeleteThat one made me laugh too. I'm glad we got to see a more fun side of him before he betrayed Peter and Neal.
ReplyDeleteI was skeptical about Treat Williams being Neal's dad but over these past episodes, he completely sold me especially in this one before he turned into a bastard lol
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big fan of his character in Everwood but that show made me think he was a decent actor. White Collar has successfully made me stop thinking of him as Andy Brown now. I wonder how big a role he will have in season 5.
ReplyDeletethis episode had too many good quotes..and it wouldn't be right to make limited choices.So basically I'm cool with either
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling James is out of allies. He deserves what he gets. Thanks for the feedback on the quotes format.
ReplyDeletethe worst part is if he had confessed then Neal and Peter would have turned every stone to get him reduced sentence or something else..but now i dont know
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure..it'll be a LOooooooooooong wait..so you'll be doing more polls then?
