Mozzie, Mozzie, Mozzie. What is there to say about this fantastic, yet quirky sidekick? If you haven’t noticed from my previous White Collar articles, I love Mozzie! He brings a little spark to every scene he’s in and a multitude of entertaining one-liners. White Collar would not be complete without him.
The summer finale left me in shock and freaking out as poor Mozzie is shot and left for dead slumping over on that bench. He better be okay! The White Collar premiere cannot come quickly enough. So for my fellow Collar and Mozzie fans, here is a little dose of White Collar to hold you over until the premiere. After some fun White Collar research, here are ten of the best Mozzie quips:
1. Mozzie: Yes, I’ll take it to the lab; run some tests.
Neal: You don’t have a lab, you have a storage unit.
Mozzie: Semantics.
-Season 1, Ep. 3: Book of Hours
2. Mozzie: A New Yorker who does not take the subway is not a New Yorker you can trust.
Neal: I don’t take the subway.
Mozzie: Precisely.
-Season 1, Ep. 10: Vital Signs
3. Neal: Geez, Moz. Overreact much? What are you going to do with tweezers?
Mozzie: The Shinobi Ninja can fashion a weapon out of anything.
Neal: You’re not a ninja.
Mozzie: That’s what I want you to believe.
-Season 1, Ep. 12: Bottlenecked
4. Elizabeth: You know Moz, you never told me what you do for a living.
Mozzie: I know that. Neither have you, Mrs. Suit
Elizabeth: I’m an event planner. I run my own company.
Mozzie: Burke Premier Events. I thought that company was a front for Peter.
Elizabeth: Okay, not everything has a secret meaning.
Mozzie: Naïveté. So sweet. I bet you believe in the moon landing.
-Season 1, Episode 13: Front Man
5. Neal: You’re being paranoid.
Mozzie: Paranoia is a skill. The secret to longevity.
-Season 1, Ep. 13: Front Man
6. Mozzie: I need a new nickname.
Caffrey: Mozzie’s not cutting it anymore?
Mozzie: What about, um, The Question, or perhaps The Skeptic. Con man!
-Season 2, Ep. 1: Withdrawal
7. Neal: Why are you still here?
Mozzie: You have a better wine selection than I do.
Neal: Love your honesty.
-Season 2, Ep. 5: Unfinished Business
8. Mozzie: Mi cassa es suits casa.
-Season 2, Ep. 7: Prisoners Dilemma
9. Mozzie: Don’t think this is my only safe house. One of many. I call it Tuesday.
Burke: Why?
Mozzie: Because I’m usually here on Wednesdays.
-Season 2, Ep. 7: Prisoner’s Dilemma
10. Mozzie to Diana: I answer to no one Nancy Drew.
-Season 2, Ep. 8: Company Man

I love Mozzie…please don’t be dead!!!
“Fate has a way of putting in front of us that which we most try to leave behind” – Mozzie. That is my favorite quote by him.
“We feel free when we escape, even if it’s from the frying pan into the fire.”
I’ve shown mine now you show me yours
Mozzie belongs to the likes of aristotle, Plato etc. He is awesome. i love this quote of his “Mi cassa es suits casa.” and the “moon lading one”. He is just brilliant and with Neal they are like formidable
That’ll do pig that’ll do. A quote from the movie “Babe” on Unfinished Business.
I so much enjoyed this scene in the park – tickled my funny bone. There are so many great quotes by all the characters. I love it! Can’t wait for Jan 18th!
Mozzie: I saw a mockingbird in the park. (Peter doesn’t answer) Then you say, “What color is the mockingbird?”
Burke: I’m doing the newspaper thing. I’m not doing the stupid bird thing.
I like this quote from season 2 episode 9″so she has u dog whispering now”
Here’s the “Mozzie quote” I like:
Mozzie: “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”
Neal: Well, it’s been a while since you’ve quoted Einstein.
Not sure which episode this was on.
He is alive. He has to be. He is too awsome to die.
From “Dante Habersham’s Twitter page:
In the great words of Mark Twain. “The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated”

And yet another from Twitter:

Mozzie: “You ever wonder why you’ve never been introduced? She meets you, and suddenly I become the quirky friend.”
Another one I found on Twitter:

Life is better thought of as a scavenger hunt rather than a surprise party.-mozzie
This was a good one posted on Twitter:

“Fate has a way of putting in front of us that which we most try to leave behind.” -Mozzie
“You ever wonder why you’ve never been introduced? You meet her and suddenly I’m the quirky friend” -Mozzie to Neal (about introducing Gina in “By the Book”
I love number 2 the most. The best part about Mozzie is his back and forth with Neal, they complete each other.
I cannot choose between any of his quotes: just love him!
I love Mozzie too! He has so many great lines on the show! I can’t wait for White Collar to come back next week!
I LOVE MOZZIE<3333
I'm hoping he's alive. 5 more days till the season premiere!
