Nate quotes from Leverage

Sophie

I mean, that's not greed we're looking at it. It's grief.

Eliot

I thought we were supposed to hate the guys that we take down.?

Not a requirement, a perk... usually.

Parker

Are you kidding me? What, you think I wouldn't notice?!

Oh, hey! Hey, girl, this thing is hypersensitive.

Parker

I'm hyper-sensitive when people are building robots to replace me!

It's not a robot.

Parker

I'm not stupid, Hardison, okay? I know how smart you are and how capable you are of doing things. Parker 2000?

No. What, no, see, like, um, okay. Yeah, I used your name, right. But it's not--it's not what you think, at all. It's an ASCD, an Automated Safe Cracking Device.?

Parker

I'm a safe-cracking device. [Stomps out]

[walking into the frame and looking at Hardison] I told you not to call it Parker.

Eliot, we're gonna need to know if anyone has left the carnival.

Eliot

Forty seconds from the main entrance. Nate, if I'm engaged...

Do your worse.

How you two doing with your little mini-Parker?

Parker

I can't believe you brought her here, by the way.

Okay, you know what, Parker? Look. (puts Parker 2000 on table) You want to know why I made it green?

Parker

Mm-hmm.

Because your favorite color is green. You want to know why I named her after you? It's because she's based off of you. Parker, that's why I was always asking you, "What are you thinking? How are you feeling?" Everything she knows, she learned off of you. I didn't make her to replace you. I would never want to replace you. I--she's--she's for you.

Parker

I love it. (grabs it)

Really?

Parker

Yeah. I'm gonna call her "Hardy."

Okay. No. Um, it's "Parker 2000." It says so right there in the fine print.

Parker

It used to be.

Okay, no. That's, that's not gonna work. That's –

Parker

Hardy it is.

But it's Parker 2000. It's like --

Parker

Yeah, but you said it's mine, so I can name it whatever I want. She shall be called Hardy. (to Parker 2000) You like that name, don't you? (high voice) Yes. Yes.

Right, but when I invented it, I registered the name as Parker 2000.

Parker

She likes it. She likes it.

Hardy is good. I can make a Hardy.

Darlene Wickett and her sons are embezzling money from the dying and grieving. It's the oldest grift in the book.

Sophie

And the cruelest. Even I never ran that one--it's tacky.

Where the hell did you get that car?

It's a rental.

How did you find us?

You leave the rest of your guys at the drop, waiting to kill me?

I want my documents.

(moves his jacket to show the envelope) I want my colleague.

Oh, hmm. Eliot.

What the hell's an Eliot?

Put me in a coffin. Here it comes to you. Got something for you. Boom. Evidence. Get it, get it, get it, get it.

Is that really necessary?

The man put me in a coffin, Nate. A damn coffin.

That's true.

Now I think con men or grifters, whatever they're called, are the worst people in the world.

Sophie

I wouldn't necessarily say that this guy was a grifter. I mean, it sounds like he's more like a common criminal.

Well, what's the difference?

Sophie

A con, or a grift, when it's performed properly, it combines elegance and style with a, with a classical imitation of legitimate enterprise, parody--

(clears throat and puts his hand on Sophie’s leg) What she's trying to say is that it's not your fault.

Parker

[over the comms] Hi, Hardison!

Um... hello?

Parker

Nate won't tell me what the name of the job is.

Parker, not now. Please?

Parker

Yeah, but what are we stealing? Is it "let's go steal a mountain" or a potato or a funeral or a panda or...

I told y'all not to let her go to that festival unsupervised.

[disbelieving] Just one piece of chocolate?

That's my girl.

She's scary.

Wait a minute. Who are all these people? They're not shills.

Oh, these people? They are your victims. Meet Mr. and Mrs. Wang. You stole $68,000 from Mr. Wang's father. It was all the money he had. You stole from every single person in this room. Every single one of them is a victim.

Sophie

Hey, you all right with this one?

What?

Sophie

Well, you said it yourself—-a kid's life is at stake. You don't think this might get too personal?

Does it matter?

[on how they're going to steal an airline employee badge] We're gonna twist Sophie's ankle.

Parker

[asking how to get another badge] How do we get do that? Break Eliot's wrist?

What? No, we just pick one up from where the ground crew left it.

Sophie

[discussing the final step-getting into the airline tower] Well, we have to lure them out...

Parker

Oh! Okay, set Nate on fire?

Eliot

[looking annoyed] Settle down!

Sophie

You just told the mark we're after him.

No, no. He knew we were on to him as soon as we grounded his plane.

Sophie

You gave him your name!

I want him to know my name.

I know what you're gonna say.

Sophie

I think you should have a drink.

Okay, I didn't know what you were gonna say.
