4. Herman Melville's Bartleby The Scrivner
Which Episode It Can Be Found In: Skorpio There are the odd times that Archer's attempts to blend in with the help during a mission do not go according to plan. After being discovered and subsequently captured by a vicious terrorist Skorpio aboard a massive pleasure ship, Sterling Archer is subjected to a verbal list of horrible atrocities that will soon befall him and his partner Lana Kane. His response to the list is, I'd prefer not to. This line was made famous by the character Bartleby in Herman Meville's oft ignored short story. To hammer the point home even further, Archer continues to humorously over explain the reference to a crowd of uncultured henchmen.
