The A-Team Quotes

Context

This line is spoken by John "Hannibal" Smith, played by George Peppard, in the TV show The A-Team (1983-87).

We pity the fools who don't know the A-Team. (That's another quote for another day.)

The show is best remembered for its ridiculous, over-the-top action scenes, and the ridiculous, over-the-top Mr. T as B.A. Baracus, but there's no T in A-Team. Okay, there's totally a T in A-Team, but he's not the only character, guys! It's A-Team, after all, not The Mr. T Show.

The A-Team was made up of four former members of a U.S. Army Special forces unit, and they were led by Lieutenant Colonel Hannibal Smith. He was the man with the plans, he loved it when those plans came together, saying it point blank: "I love it when a plan comes together."

Where you've heard it

You hear this when a plan comes together. Obviously, guys.

• Lead your own A-Team with an "I love it when a plan comes together" t-shirt.
• Lux, a character in League of Legends, must be a big A-Team fan.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

As long as your plan actually worked, this quote is fine, but don't get too cocky, mister (T). Plans don't come together 100% of the time.
