Nate quotes from Leverage

Now, we've been in this situation before, I pushed you into it.

Parker

You were drunk. Suuuuper drunk.

Thanks, Parker. I remember that.

No, no, no. This guy's awful.

Sophie

I have to agree with Nate. And you know how much I hate doing that.

Sophie

Nate, I have to say, of all the deceitful, unprincipled, corrupt things I've done in my entire life, nothing's as bad as--

Politics?

Sophie

I can't even say it.

I think I hate you.

You know, I'm okay with that.

I have the media. I have the guns. I have the--the government!

You know what I have? I have a 24-year-old genius with a smartphone and a problem with authority. You really never stood a chance.

Sophie

Don't cry for me, San Lorenzo.

You are utterly unclear on how to be dead. This is the second time in two years you've shown up at your own funeral.

Yeah, you have every right to be proud.

Sophie

I am. I'm proud. You know, we didn't just con someone, we built something.

Well, we did subvert democracy.

Sophie

Ugh. Eggs, omelet.

Okay, Parker listen; you can climb a mountain, right?

Parker

I climb skyscrapers. You can walk up a mountain.

Eliot

It's not the same. Are there avalanches on skyscrapers?

Parker

No, but that would be so cool.

Sophie

Just how dangerous is this gig you took without checking with us first??

Yeah, uh...

Ridiculously dangerous! It's like a danger cupcake with murder icing. Man, that is 20,000 feet high. Only half the people who try actually make it to the top.

But t-t-they figure that Alan Scott died on the way back down, just hours above the base camp here. (uses computer to illustrate)

I'm sorry... died on the way down? That's why black people don't climb nothin'! You know there's like a hundred dead people scattered all over that rock. That's nasty. (pulls up an article about millionaires barely escaping death) These millionaires, man, they go up these mountains just to have fun, and people die trying to drag their ass back down. But, oh, happy day, because the rich guy got saved.

Let's go steal a mountain.

Parker

Again.

What?

Parker

Again. We already stole a mountain, two years ago.

We did?

Eliot

Well, technically it was a resort, not a mountain, but yeah.

You were also very drunk on that one.

I'm just saying, I should go up that mountain with you.

Parker

You want to climb?

Yeah.

Parker

A mountain?

Seriously?

Parker

And that last one was a 10-foot drop!

Okay. Fine. I just think I should keep an eye on you.

Parker

Keep an eye on me?

Well, not... you... you and Eliot. It's a dangerous mountain. There could be some polar bears or ill-tempered Eskimos, like...

Parker

This isn't gonna become a thing, is it?

W-what? No. Pl... no. No. This is… not. Whatever "this" is.

Parker

Oh. Yeah.

Okay.

Parker

Okay. Okay. (Parker punches him on the shoulder and walks away)

Eliot

All right. (walks away) Let's roll.

What? What are you doing?

At least Eliot gave me a hug.

She's kind of scary.

You have no idea.

I'm an experienced climber! I know my husband! I know the routes he would've taken!

You're emotionally involved. It leads to bad decisions.

I'm sorry, did you just say that? With a straight face?

Not helpful. Not helpful at all.

No, no, no. We can't send another climber on the ridge, no.

Eliot

You sure about that?

What do you mean?

Eliot

'Cause I got a footprint. Russian. Spetsnaz.

Parker

[Incredulously] Seriously?

Eliot

It's a very distinctive footprint.

Sophie

I'm running the Moscow circus con, and you're the Ivan. Go.

Okay, I'm kind of dying of altitude sickness here.

Sophie

Well, then, do it quickly.
