Nate quotes from Leverage

Where am I? Last thing I remember, I was in my car. I could swear I hit something.

Oh, yeah, you hit something, all right. A little thing called rock bottom. Welcome to rehab.

Oh, my god.

Sophie

Yeah, no, you said you like to drink, but you didn't, you didn't characterize it as a problem.

Well, 'cause it's not a problem. Drinking relaxes me and helps me focus.

Sophie

Oh, I see. So you like to medicate yourself with alcohol, is that it?

What are you doing? Listen, doctor, do you know what the definition of "addiction" is? Any compulsive behavior that has a negative impact on your life. So I guess we could say that those $1,500 boots that you're wearing are an addiction.

Sophie

Well, I haven't heard any complaints.

Sophie

You look awful.

Thank you. That's sweet. Do you need something, Soph?

Sophie

You haven't had a drink in 48 hours. This is withdrawal.

Soph, I’m not in rehab. Pretending.

Sophie

Ah.

Yeah.

Sophie

Well, congratulations. You've got me fooled.

I don't, listen, I don't think I need to apologize for drinking. I need to apologize, maybe, for not drinking. Maybe I'm a bigger bastard sober than I am drunk. Huh.

If this is you sober, hell yeah.

Thank you, Marcy.

Listen, the guy, okay, he's an addict. You know, he's-he knows how to manipulate people. My father was an addict, my grandfather. I know how these people operate.

Sophie

I'm just gonna let you think about that for a minute.

Sophie

[Over the phone] How did you break him [Hurley]?

Ah, well, um…

Sophie

You took him out for tacos? Nate, you're enabling him.

Whoa, whoa! I haven't slept in three days! I had a showdown with two different gangs, who now, by the way, know my face, I sat on a bomb, and all of this could have been avoided had you gave the man a taco?

Parker

I did my job. You told me to get us into the penthouse.

Yeah, by following my plan, Parker.

Parker

What?

By getting us all in safely.

Parker

Did the elevator decapitate you? Did it decapitate you?

Parker

[throws envelope on the table] This isn't for me. It's addressed to somebody named Alice White.

You are Alice White. It's one of the aliases I made for you: vegetarian, bookkeeper. She had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in Phoenix. You should check out her Facebook page.

Parker

Alice White has jury duty.

Damn, I am good.

Parker

Yeah, congratulations. Alice thanks you for getting her out of it.

No. No. Jury duty. A place where you have to follow instructions.

Sophie

Where you have to consider other people's point of view.

Eliot

There's gonna be normal people there, Nate.

No, no, no. You're not getting out of this. Alice White is reporting for jury duty.

Parker

I think there's something dirty going on with this trial and the woman who lost her husband's gonna get hurt even worse, and that we should, um, you know, get involved.

Involved? What--what do you--

Parker

No, no, no. No, no, no. You don't understand. They had hidden cameras, and the lawyers had comms like our comms.

First, move! Second, nobody has our comms.

Parker, listen, there is not some evil conspiracy lurking behind the curtain of every routine civic activity.

I make our comms. Me. I make 'em. Ain't nobody got our comms, do what I do.

Now, what's happening is, you're on a boring jury trial. Okay? Now, could you... [Parker storms off] Parker! Just...

Sophie

You know, she's never done that before.

What, stormed out? Come on.

Sophie

No, asked for our help.

I literally cannot make this slower or any more boring. Okay? You know why they say Justice wears a blindfold? So you can't see that Justice is asleep.

I am sure there's reservoirs of boring you have yet to plumb.

Slide 162, this is, this is good stuff. Dr. Goldferb, hi, can you tell us how the chemicals work their way into the neurotransmitters?

Is this going anywhere, counsel?

Oh, I assure you, Your Honor, the next 100 slides are essential.

Parker

What are we supposed to do now?

We win the trial.

Wha—I'm sorry, the impossible trial? The trial that can't be won?

Yep. That one.

Did you realize what you just did? What you did? You won a jury trial without cheating.

Without chea--I hacked a government no-fly list and used it to humiliate a witness.

Excessively. "Cheating excessively" is what I meant. But, I mean, think about it, I mean, if you applied yourself, Hardison, you could be anything you want.

You know what? I could. I could. You know, next week, I think I’m gonna be an astronaut.

Well, that's not really what I meant. I meant if you studied, you’d--

Yeah, if I--Who needs to study? You know, I’m gonna be a surgeon. A surgeon--ER. Surgeon.

Are you here to kill me, Nate?

Not tonight.

Well, in that case, come in. There's shrimp. [walks away]

I do love shrimp. [tosses gun away]
