ParkerSo, I have to tell you something.
Okay. [pause] Did--did you want to talk now?
ParkerYeah, okay. So, the thing is, I think that maybe I might be having feelings. Like weird, weird feelings... f-for...[pauses, looks around] pretzels.
Pretzels. Okay. Well, they're right here. When you want them.
ParkerI don't think I am being strange enough.
I doubt that.
Sometimes you--you--you don't get a second chance to get it right.
ParkerWhy not?
Rules of life.
But that's exactly what we do. We change the rules.
ParkerWho knew a sedan could hit 140?
Parker, you are never to get behind the wheel of a car again, okay? Never.
Exactly how is this gonna get us Lefty's attention?
ParkerWell, car thieves are territorial, all right. You bring a car like this to a local chop-shop, every boost in town knows there's a new player. Also, this is Lefty's car.
ParkerAll right. Chop shops are a quick and dirty setup. There's probably gonna be one, maybe two guys in here cutting up their latest catch.
[After driving in and finding at least a dozen people inside]
We're gonna need a bigger boat.
Wait! Hold up. You told her?
I should have known. You're a menace, Parker.
ParkerWhat? She deserved a chance.
Nate is going to kill you.
I'm going to kill you.
ParkerOh, stop whining!
I got hit by a car!
Parker[mocking] "I got hit by a car" ... Get over it!
I'm gonna kill her, man. I'm gonna kill her.
Hey! Hey! Nobody's gonna kill anybody. Seriously though, Nate is going to kill you.
Wait, wait, wait, who are you people?
ParkerWE'RE THE GOOD GUYS!
Damn it, Parker, where'd you learn to drive?
ParkerBefore I stole cars I was a getaway driver.
Before? You started stealing cars when you were twelve.
Young Parker[flashback] Get out of the way you old bat!
ParkerGet out of the way you old bat!
The Skagway Shuffle.
Yeah. That's what I was thinking.
See, now y'all are just making stuff up.
It's like the Fiddle Game.
Yeah, only underground.
ParkerIs Eliot going to be the fiddle again?
No.
No.
ParkerCan I be the fiddle?
No.
No.
[Explaining to Parker how to grift] Find the right combination and you can unlock the mark's trust. And then you can steal her...
ParkerSoul.
I was gonna say confidence.
Nicely done.
ParkerI had a little help from Sophie. But yeah. I nailed it. I'm a grifter. I grift.
Yeah. You do know you don't get to keep the money.
ParkerDon't ruin it.
[As the group is arguing]
Hey, hey. What is this? I thought we were supposed to be, uh, finding Moreau.
This is more important.
More important? We don't find Moreau, I might go back to prison forever.
Oh, shush. You did fine in prison the first time.
You got in shape.
ParkerYeah, you look good in a jumpsuit.
[Upset] Learned how to hypnotize people.
When I started telling them about one of my finest jobs ever...
But I know she's lying.
She's a grifter. It's her job.
ParkerWait, I'm confused. Now, she's lying about lying?
It was en route. That's like stealing my mail.
ParkerWhat, is stealing mail a crime?
[Sophie glares at her]
ParkerOops.
[After hearing Hardison's story of the theft and realizing someone must have stolen the dagger]
Now, Sophie [Lifts up the first cup; empty] didn't have the dagger. Eliot [Lifts the second; empty] didn't have the dagger. Hardison [Lifts the third; empty] didn't have the dagger.
[Whispering to Eliot] I still beat you.
[Nate looks at Parker, who looks up at him slyly. Nate taps the table and Parker holds out the crumpled bill]
Parker[Grinning] Yeaaah.
[Sophie blinks at her in stunned surprise]
ParkerWhat?! I'm a thief!
