Nate quotes from Leverage

We're going to use the money that we have in here.

It is not enough. We're still short thirty grand.

No, Michael, no, not that money. We have an alternate revenue source.

Is he suggesting what I think he's suggesting?

Parker

Are you suggesting what we think you're suggesting? You want to give our bad guy's money to some other bad guys?

Yes, exactly what I'm suggesting we do. But we're going to do it without blowing our covers, gang.

Who are you talking to?

Parker, have you ever robbed a bank that's being robbed?

Parker

[smiling gleefully] There's a first time for everything. The bank was built before 1980, before computers. Means it's got a larger than normal night deposit chute.

'Cause business had to drop off ledgers with their daily hauls. What, you thought my genius was only limited to ones and zeroes?

We actually have bigger problems.

Eliot

What's that?

Well, Sheriff Coltrane over here called the FBI, the real FBI. Now the closest office is in San Diego, so they should be here in about, um, give it 45 minutes.

We can't worry about that now.

When do we worry about it?

In about 45 minutes.

Sophie

I think it went through and through. Well, it missed your artery.

Well, at least there's that.

Sophie

Things could be worse.

Worse than me getting shot and you blowing our cover?

Sophie

We wouldn't even be in this mess if you'd just walked out with the cash when you had the chance. I would've been fine.

I know.

Sophie

Yeah, I can take care of myself. I've been doing it a long time. Since way before I met you. I'm just saying.

Yeah, you're right.

Sophie

Okay.

Sophie

We lost communication.

Yeah, we did.

Sophie

Hardison, Parker, and Eliot ...

That's right, they are on their own. Yup.

Hey, listen. She's gonna be all right. Everything's gonna be all right.

Your people. They're good?

Yeah. The best.

So, uh, pizza boxes, huh?

Yeah, I know, I know, you could have done better.

No, no, no. No, I couldn't have.

Eliot

This would be easier if you were in here.

Well, we would be if Sophie weren't already old friends with the ambassador.

Sophie

I wouldn't say "old" friends exactly.

The United States is pleased to make the first payment for construction of the trans-Ukrainian pipeline to her Royal Highness, Princess Magda of Slovenia.

Sophie

[Smiling] I still have that tiara, though.

Sophie

Now anchor the emotion. Raise the champagne flute to your lips.

Eliot

Cheers.

Sophie

Take a nice, long sip. And now every time she laughs or smiles, repeat that motion. She’s gonna link that to a nice, warm feeling. You can use that later.

That, uh, drink thing. You’ve never used that on me, have you?

Sophie

[takes a drink of her soda] I would never.

Of course not.

Sophie

So, how'd you know Irina would go for the movie thing?

A European grifter who wants to be an actress? Lucky guess.

Sophie

This, this, this is my world! Okay, you need, you need someone to, I dunno, crawl through an air duct, you call Parker. Bash a head in? Eliot. Internet porn? Hardison! You need someone to take over a movie, then...

I ask an actor. Right. Um. Sophie. About the acting…

Sophie

Oh, yeah? What? What is it?

[looks around uncomfortably] You're right. You're right. You, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna go with your scene.

Sophie

Really?! Ohh! It’s gonna be -- it's gonna be fantastic.

It certainly is.

Eliot

She [Sophie] can't act!

Oh, she can act. When it's an act.

Parker

Hey, how did you know I’d be at the orphanage?

Thank Hardison for that.

You know you could have gotten killed. Did you even have an exit strategy?

Parker

[Apologetically] I didn't really think that far ahead.

You don't work alone anymore, you know that?

Parker

I know.

We're a team.

Parker

We're a little more than a team.

Parker

Hey, Nate, I have to tell you something.

What? What is it?

Parker

[Whispering] We have to stop at Haagen-Daz.

Haagen-Daz!!
