Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Michael is making the fake ID driver license, at least two errors are shown: The number starts with "L", yet the last name is Winger. On a Florida license, the number starts with the first letter of the last name, so the number should have started with "W". The issue date is shown as 1985 with an expiration date of 2012. Florida licenses are only good up to 6 years, so this date is incorrect.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Michael Westen: [narration] Nobody wants to hear from a burned spy. Your old handlers send your calls straight to voice mail, your appeals are filed in the trash, your old contacts are worthless. Your best bet is to find an active field operative that can't hang up on you. If you're on domestic soil...
