The A-Team is an American action-adventure television series that ran on NBC from 1983 to 1987 about former members of a fictitious United States Army Special Forces unit.

The series was created by Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo. A feature film based on the series was released by 20th Century Fox in 2010.

[Hearing that they are going to Rivertown by airplane, B.A. gets suspicious]

"B.A." Baracus:
Hey Hannibal, you know I don't flying! And I've seen that trick before: you give me a burger and expect me to eat it!

"Hannibal" Smith:
[sighs] B.A., you know you get cranky on an empty stomach. Now, eat your burger.

"B.A." Baracus:
Not this time! I ain't falling for no sleeping powder in my burger. I'm taking yours!

[B.A. switches his burger with Hannibal's]

"Hannibal" Smith:
Help yourself... just fine.

"B.A." Baracus:
You figured I would think my burger was spiked and take yours! I'm taking Face's.

[B.A. takes Face's burger and gives him Hannibal's]

Face:
OK.

[Face chuckles. Hearing this, B.A. gets suspicious again]

"B.A." Baracus:
Wait a minute... I've got it! You figured I'd take your burger, get wise to it, then take Face's burger! And Face's burger is the one that got the sleeping powder in it... or Murdock's!

[Murdock looks at his hamburger, then offers it to B.A]

"B.A." Baracus:
Hey, wait a minute, I'm on to you guys... the one place you would never put sleeping powder, and that's in the first burger you gave me!

[B.A. takes back his original hamburger from Hannibal, gives him Face's, then takes large bite from his hamburger. Nothing happens. Hannibal, blank expression on his face, gives B.A. small carton of milk. B.A., in the euphoria of his 'victory', drinks the milk without suspicion]

"B.A." Baracus:
That's what I know!

[B.A. chuckles, but falls to sleep. Murdock grabs B.A.'s hambuger as he falls down, putting it in the bag]

Face:
And he was doing so well...

[as the sleeping powder wears off, B.A. wakes up screaming and finds himself in jail cell]

"B.A." Baracus:
[stands, examining his sorroundings] What is this?

Murdock:
'What is this?' Well, after giving it a lot of thought and summing the situation real quick, this is one very mad B.A., holding on the bars of a jail cell... from the inside.

"B.A." Baracus:
Hannibal, let me out of here! You tricked me. You put me to sleep again!

Murdock:
[takes a metal cup] What you've got to do B.A., I've seen it in all the gangster pictures, is...

[Murdock rakes the cup across the cell bars, making terrible noise]

Murdock:
...and call up the warden's name.

"B.A." Baracus:
[covers his ears] Hannibal!

[Hannibal gestures to Murdock to stop. Murdock complies]

"Hannibal" Smith:
B.A., I have to swear you in as an official deputy of Rivertown. You have to take the oath.

"B.A." Baracus:
[sullenly] If I take it, will you let me out?

"Hannibal" Smith:
Word of honor. Face, swears him in.

Face:
[gets up, gets the bible and approaches the cell] Put your hand on the bible. Raise your right hand.

[B.A. puts his left hand on the bible, raises his right hand but crosses his fingers]

Face:
[scolding] B.A., this is the bible!

[reluctantly, B.A. uncrosses his fingers]

Face:
[reciting the oath] 'I, B.A. Baracus, will do all the laws of Rivertown. I will conduct myself as an honorable peace officer and obey at all time, all the rules of deputyship'. Do you so swear?

"B.A." Baracus:
[grudgingly] I swear!

Face:
[gives B.A. deputy badge] There you go. Done!

"Hannibal" Smith:
[unlocks the cell] Thanks, Face. OK, B.A., you're a free man.

"B.A." Baracus:
Now I'll tear you guys apart...
