Eliot quotes from Leverage

Eliot

You want to run a game on this guy? You?

Well, yeah. How do you think I got most of my stolen merchandise back? I mean, this guy, he's greedy, thinks he's smart; he's the best kind of mark.

Parker

He does think he got rid of us.

Element of surprise.

Eliot

What's in it for me?

Payback. And if it goes right, a lot of money.

Parker

And what's in it for me?

A lot of money. And if it goes right, payback. Hardison?

I, I was just going to send a thousand porno magazines to his office, but hell yeah, let's kick him up!

Eliot

[to Nate] What's in it for you?

…He used my son.

All right, let's go get Sophie.

Eliot

What the hell's a Sophie?

She's awful.

Parker

Is she injured? In the head?

Eliot

Seriously, man, she is the worst actress I've ever seen.

This is not her stage.

Victor? Now when was the last time you met a Victor?

Eliot

Vietnam. Town called Banho Zay.

Sophie

Chinese border.

Eliot

That’s an odd thing for you to know.

Sophie

That’s an odd place for you to be.

I know when you sent Dubenich his designs you weren’t supposed to make any copies.

No, I promise. That would be very wrong.

Show me your copies.

Eliot

It’s an airplane.

It’s a short alt domestic airliner, yeah, usually one-hour flights. It’s the fastest growing segment of the industry, very fuel efficient. High tech. Very nice carbon nose, it’s got the titanium wrap. 3 to 1. (Everyone stares at him) You know, you pick up things here and there.

You pick up a lot of stuff.

Eliot

You look better than when we started.

Yeah.

Eliot

Yeah. And that bothers you, huh?

I, uh, well this isn’t supposed to feel--

Eliot

Good? It’s not that hard to figure out. Dubenich screwed you. He cheated by stealing from that other company and your good guy brain sees him as the bad guy. Your conscience is clear.

Eliot

Everybody knows. A guy like you goes off the street, a lot of people notice. And it was a bad story, too. How did they justify that, huh? The insurance company just not paying for his treatment?

They claimed it was experimental.

Eliot

You should have kept one of those Monets you found. You fence that—

Eliot, you and I are not friends.

Eliot

Right. Right. Because you have so many of them.

Parker

What is it with woman and shoes?

Sophie

There’s something wrong with you.

Eliot

That’s what I said.

I'm just very good at what I do.

Parker

This is the score! This is the score!

Age of the geek, baby.

Eliot

Somebody kiss this man so I don't have to!

Eliot

Yeah. One show only. No encores.

Parker

I already forgot your names.

You know I never had that cool a time on a job.

It’s a walkaway.

And I got focus issues brother, you kept me right on.

Parker

I’m really good at one thing—

Parker.

Parker

…only one thing that’s it, but you, you know other things and-and I can’t stop doing my one thing, can’t retire…

Eliot

You want to know what I think?

Not really.

Eliot

How long until you fall apart again?

Oh, I’m touched.

Eliot

Well, a guy like you can’t be out of the game, that’s why you were a wreck, you need the chase.

Yeah, I’ll manage.

Parker

I put all that money in a Swiss bank account.

Eliot

Millions of dollars and you didn’t buy anything?

Parker

I don’t like stuff, I like money.

Parker

What is this?

This is our new cover story. Welcome to Leverage Consulting and Associates, founded in 1913 by the great Harland Leverage the Third.

Sophie

I’m sorry. Nate is going to kill you.

Eliot

Did you paint that?

I’m gifted.

Eliot

That’s weird.

Long version or the short version?

Sophie

Short.

Eliot

Short version

Parker

Shortest.

Photo and video forensics programs, back doors into every electronic banking system in the world, running heuristic datacrawlers all over the news sites to find our clients. Oh, also—

Parker

This is the short version?

Eliot

5.56 NATO rounds mixed in with some 9-mils from the sub-machine guns. Insurgents would have used AK-47s with 7.62 ammo. It has more of a... (hits the back of his hand to his palm) crack. Contractors shot 'em up all right.

Parker

You ID’d the weapon from the gunshot sound?

Eliot

It has a very distinctive sound.

Eliot

The tall one? The way he used a knife? Ex-Marine. Probably Force Recon.

You ID'd a guy off his knife fighting style?

Eliot

It's a very distinctive style.

What I did before, nobody got hurt.

Sophie

I stole paintings.

Parker

I never hurt anybody, either.

Eliot

I actually hurt people, so…
