Parker quotes from Leverage

Parker

Well, of course we want them to come back. How else are we gonna catch them?

We--we don't. We're gonna call the cops.

Parker

Normally, I would agree with you, but what we've been doing here... Not super legal.

Oh, I knew it!

Parker

Just think of it as more charity work.

Okay, but my other charity work doesn't involve having a gun pointed at me.

Parker

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Oh, you meant that as a bad thing.

Oh, we should sit Romeo and Juliet together and see what happens.

Parker

Oh, my God. That’s genius!

It is?

Parker

No, no, not what you said. What I thought of. But inspired by what you said.

Parker

Hey. Hey, wait.

What?

Parker

I'm gloating.

Parker

To new friends, new food, and no fish.

No fish.

Kiss for luck?

Parker

Who needs luck?

Eliot

Hang on.

Parker

Um, no. Cops, bad. Thieves, go.

Eliot

The case is vacuum-sealed.

Do not tell me what’s inside.

Eliot

Says... “influenza, 1918.”

Get out. Now! Get out! Now! Go! Go! Get out! (outside) The Spanish flu killed 50 million people during World War I, and now somebody’s got it.

Parker

Look, we can do this. Just treat it like any another job.

This isn’t just any other job.

Eliot

All right, all right. Stay focused.

I focused! That bug in there killed 50 million people! 50! And that was when the population was lower.

Parker

Now?

Now? 150 million people. 150 million dead. Hey, we’re thieves, man, and we’re good at what we do, but this is way, way out of our league. And you expect us to go catch some psycho with a city killer? A country killer?

Eliot

You scared?

You’re damn right.

Eliot

I’m not. I got the best thief And the smartest guy I know chasing this guy. Hey, listen to me. You’re smartest man I’ve ever known, Hardison. I need that brain to get me to him. ‘Cause you know if I lay my hands on him, it’s done. Get me to him.

Hi. Kiss for luck?

Parker

I don’t believe in luck.

Parker

For luck.

Parker, no! Don’t do it! Parker! Parker!

Parker

Fire’s the only thing that’ll kill this thing, right?

Yeah. Yeah, that’ll do... that’ll do it. (he pulls her into his arms) Don’t do that to me. I can’t lose you. Do you understand? I can’t lose you. Don’t scare me like that.

Parker

Yeah.

I can’t.

Parker

You're shot. You should go to the hospital.

Eliot

I don't do hospitals.

I told you. He takes getting shot very lightly.

Parker

All right, people, place your bets, 100 bucks gets you in.

I'm in. Five minutes.

Sophie

She'll go seven.

I say three minutes

Parker

I'm under two.

Eliot

Everybody that got laid off has a job.

Parker

What about the building?

I heard an anonymous donor put in a bid for it. He said he's gonna turn it into a theater for the local high school.

The arts are vastly underfunded in this country, don't you think?

Sophie

You sly old dog.

Parker

What's the White Rabbit?

It's the ungriftable grift, it's impossible.

Parker

Yeah, but we do the impossible.

Eliot

(just hit Parker with his car for the con) What are you doing? That was way to close!

Parker

(Giving a thumbs up) Had to make it look real! Was it good?

Stop taking stuff.

Parker

Hey, what about this? Should I take this? (holds up a red t shirt)

Put it back.

Intel. We're not here to steal.
