Nate quotes from Leverage

It was reckless.

Parker

It was worth it.

Eliot

Yeah, this time.

Parker

(to Hardison) Bet you're starting to like that C.G.I. Yoda a little bit now?

Yeah, when he gives back the childhood he stole from me. Why don't you just ask me to join the dark side? Go ahead.

"Well, Nate, winning isn't everything."

Sophie

You know, for a while there you were an honest man. And then for a while you were a thief?

Yeah, well maybe I'm both?

Sophie

You can't be both. I'm just not sure at this point which one I want to win.

Or -- but -- not -- no, not -- not a toy.

Eliot

What, man? He's telling me to learn technical stuff all the time.

Well, that'll never happen.

Charlie

I don't have any painting.

Mr. Lawson, uh, we are not the police.

Charlie

I don't care if you're Vincent Van Gogh himself. I can't help you.

What do you got?

Oh, probably just my sensitivity to dust mites. It's what happens when you send me to the hall of records a second time.

You know what, man, if I get out of this job without upper-respiratory issues, it will be a miracle.

Yeah. (puts a tissue against Hardison’s face)

What? Really? This? What -- nasty. Don't know where this has been. (drops tissue)

I think The Boston Museum of Art is an excellent choice, Charlie.

Charlie

Hmm. H-how did you figure it out?

You told me. See, once I knew that Dorothy had the painting, the key to finding it was understanding her.

Now, she was loyal. Loyal to this town, loyal to you. She made you a promise. She said that she would keep the Van Gogh safe, and that's exactly what she did...

Watching over it every time she played the organ.

She saved her tips all those years, hoping.

Charlie

In case I came back.

Yeah.

Charlie

You know... When I came back here and found out she was gone, I felt cheated. I-I didn't know how she would have felt about seeing me. Now I-I guess I do.

Sophie

You can't possibly know that's the real story.

No, but it's the best story.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Sophie

Oh, I'm starving. All that talk about tubers.

Let's, uh, let's get dinner.

Sophie

Huh?

Oh, no, no. I'm not, no. I'm not saying, like, dinner like that, no. Just like a bite to eat, kind of...

Sophie

As colleagues.

As friends.

Sophie

Oh. A civilized working meal.

Yeah, as friends.

Sophie

Oh. You said that part.

Oh, damn. (sits up) Oh.

Sophie

Nate. (hands him his shirt) We were being spontaneous, living in the moment.

Yeah. Yeah, it was, uh, it was a mistake, yeah.

Sophie

It's called… The San Lorenzo.

Is that what they call it? (puts on shirt) Um, Sophie, I, um…

Sophie

Mm?

I'm sorry. But you know that I don't want a relationship. I really, I-I-I--

Sophie

Of course you don't. Well, the work's the most important thing. (moves to sit at the counter) I mean, the team's perfect the way it is. Why change?

E-exactly what I was gonna say. Yeah.

Sophie

Hey, we're adults. We enjoy each other's company. You know, we don't have to turn this into a big thing. We're friends with... extras. There's nothing wrong with that... What'd I say?

Hmm? [The team walks in]

Isn't anyone mad at Sophie? Hardison, she punched you in the face.

Takes a real man to take one for the team.

Eliot

Hey, whatever you need to keep telling yourself.

Burn room?

It's usually a vault within a vault. The walls are lined with thermite. All he has to do is press a button and flame on. All his dirty secrets burn away.

Parker

Everything burns? I want one.

You're too young for a phone.

It's for if I get abducted.

Yeah, whatever. Okay, so, one of the things that makes, uh, Verd Agra so special is its security. (looks at posted floorplan) Yeah. Right now, we're in the public area. But all the exciting stuff happens on the top floor. Now, you see how it looks like a bull's-eye? You have green, yellow, and red security zones. Red for top secret.

Parker

So, teacher Mike, what if I want to go to the red zone?

Well, no, teacher Jen. No can do. We-we-we only have visitor badges.

Parker

But, teacher Mike, what if I take someone else's--

Find...

Parker

--find someone else's badge?

Well, that's the tricky part. Teacher Jen, you see, the badges are also trackers. Yes, it's like Lojack for people. So, what happens is, is that the scary security system will know wherever you go. Yep.

Parker

So, we have to fool the security system to get the banana?

Potato.

Parker

Whatever.

On the other hand, sometimes old school really is the best kind of security, I mean...

[whispers to Trevor] No, it's not.

What?

I'm listening. [whispers to Trevor] He's old.

What?

Sophie

What?

Now, come on. Don't, I can't...

Sophie

What, do this?

No, I just, it's...

Sophie

You can't do this? Really?

Well, it's...

Sophie

A former Jesuit seminary student doesn't know if he can handle a casual relationship.

No, it's...

Sophie

What a shocker.

No, it's just, I mean, this, um, just... what, what do we, uh, do?

Sophie

I say, dinner.

Just a, just a bite to eat.

Sophie

As colleagues.

As friends.

Sophie

Exactly.
