Nate quotes from Leverage

My wing in the museum opens this weekend. Little celebration for the fundraisers.

Yeah, blood money buys the best art.

Are we still unclear? I'm a functioning alcoholic, you know? And the trick is not to get hung up on the "alcoholic." But celebrate the "functioning" part of the sentence.

Eliot

You're getting worse.

This--this is messing you up, man.

Parker

[reading from a notepad] We can't keep watching you do this to yourself.

Is this my intervention?

Ian

Nate. Why did you come to me?

Well, I knew you'd pay the best price. Renaissance art is your life. Guilt was a bonus.

Ian

You hate me.

Yeah. Of course I hate you. I mean, what--what? You think I want to be here? I don't have a choice, all right?! I'm drunk, I’m broke, I'm living out of my car, I just want the paycheck, and at this point, I don't care where it comes from.

Maggie

Nate?

Maggie.

Sophie

You honestly think that we can fool Maggie with a fake?

No. She's too smart and too experienced. When we worked together, there was nobody better.

Sophie

A simple "no" without the cheerleading would have done. This does complicate things.

No, no, Nate. We haven't done any prep, we don't have our tools.

Parker

You want me to break into a secure storage facility with whatever I can scrounge up the buffet table?

Pretty much. Yep.

Parker

[Smiling] Cool.

Eliot

I'm sorry your wife gave me her phone number.

Don't want to talk about it.

Eliot

I-It was only to coordinate where we were gonna go anyway.

Not talking about it.

Eliot

I gotta be honest with you, there was a second I—

Sophie

Maggie, works for the man who let your son die? She doesn't have a problem with that!

She doesn't know! [Sophie looks at him in shock] She doesn't know that IYS and Blackpoole denied Sam’s treatment.

Sophie

How can she not know?

She doesn't know, because I never told her.

Sophie

Was that absolutely necessary?

He wouldn't have believed a handshake. And it felt good. Hardison, where are you?

Sterling

Do you remember when we were friends? After work, we used to come up here, have a drink, watch the sun set.

We were never friends, Sterling.

Sterling

So the answer to my question would be no, then.

I got out of sales.

Ian

So, what are you in now?

Theft. Yeah, I’m going to rob the Two Davids gallery on opening day.

Sterling

Aren't you gonna call the, uh, police?

Ian

Of course not.

Ian

We're done here.

Yeah, I’ve got some errands, too. Rope, masks, knockout gas! Be seeing you, Sterling.

Hardison, what is this?

Yeah, well, since Sterling blew our covers, I had to find a new safe house. Lay low.

Sophie

This is your idea of laying low?

How'd you know we'd be there?

Last week before the exhibit opens, security almost in place, but not fully staffed. Best time to case the joint. Plus, I did chase all of you at one point or another.

Why'd you come back? We agreed to scatter for six months. All of you–all of you—made an amateur move being there.

Parker

It's too hard to leave a job undone. It's like an itch.

I put a lot of work into us, into that office. It was like my second home. I blew up my second home.

Eliot

As annoying as you people are, I quit this crew when I quit this crew. Nobody makes me leave.

Sophie

I just, I really wanted to hurt Sterling.

Sophie

It's going to be twice as hard to steal those statues.

Oh, no, no. It'll be four times as hard. They know we're coming.

Parker

And how do they know that?

I went to their office and told them.
