Sophie quotes from Leverage

Sophie

Don't cry for me, San Lorenzo.

You are utterly unclear on how to be dead. This is the second time in two years you've shown up at your own funeral.

Yeah, you have every right to be proud.

Sophie

I am. I'm proud. You know, we didn't just con someone, we built something.

Well, we did subvert democracy.

Sophie

Ugh. Eggs, omelet.

Sophie

Just how dangerous is this gig you took without checking with us first??

Yeah, uh...

Ridiculously dangerous! It's like a danger cupcake with murder icing. Man, that is 20,000 feet high. Only half the people who try actually make it to the top.

But t-t-they figure that Alan Scott died on the way back down, just hours above the base camp here. (uses computer to illustrate)

I'm sorry... died on the way down? That's why black people don't climb nothin'! You know there's like a hundred dead people scattered all over that rock. That's nasty. (pulls up an article about millionaires barely escaping death) These millionaires, man, they go up these mountains just to have fun, and people die trying to drag their ass back down. But, oh, happy day, because the rich guy got saved.

Sophie

I'm running the Moscow circus con, and you're the Ivan. Go.

Okay, I'm kind of dying of altitude sickness here.

Sophie

Well, then, do it quickly.

Now let me get this straight. When I said--when I said "simple stall," you heard..."multi-national, high-finance feeding frenzy," right??

Sophie

Tomahto, tomato.

Sophie

It's a gala. That's great. The place is gonna be swarming with guests.

Eliot

Okay, that's fine for you two, but what about the three of us? How do we get in?

Uh, excuse you. Do you not know my name? It's nothing to get on that list. I've been to the Oscars every year since I was 15.

Parker

I've never been to a costume party.

Sophie

Now that is just heartbreaking.

Eliot

[Angrily, over the comm] Why'd you have to dress me up like Howdy Doody?!

Sophie

Actually, Charlie Siringo was a real-life cowboy and a Pinkerton detective.

Eliot

Why couldn't you have picked me something normal, like Hardison?

Excuse you? No way in the world I'd have picked Encyclopedia Brown as my....these ugly-ass penny loafers.

Sophie

Hardy Boys. You're the Hardy Boys, and Parker's Nancy Drew.

Eliot

Yeah, well, why did Nate get to pick his own gear?

Sophie

Because he's just a bit more of a whiny baby than the rest of you.

Sophie

All right, it's your bar. Think. It's what you do.

Yeah, thanks, yeah.

Sophie

But while you're thinking, think about this. Are you climbing into that bottle because of what you think we see when we look at you, or because of what you see in the mirror?

I can resist the spotlight, by the way.

Sophie

Of course you can. Never see you taking any kind of victory lap after you've pushed us all to the edge, or sticking around to gloat over the bad guy being dragged away.

Hm. Is that sarcasm?

Sophie

A mild amount.

Sophie

Well, the guy we're clearing out was a fireman for 43 years and just donated a kidney to his best friend.

We're not gonna hurt him.

Sophie

I'm just saying, it's lucky we don't believe in hell.

Nate believes in hell. Shoot, I believe in hell.

Sophie

Oh, yeah.

Sophie

Consciously or not, I think you look at Reed Rockwell and see everything you hate about Nathan--

Any way I can get you not to finish that thought?

"Well, Nate, winning isn't everything."

Sophie

You know, for a while there you were an honest man. And then for a while you were a thief?

Yeah, well maybe I'm both?

Sophie

You can't be both. I'm just not sure at this point which one I want to win.

Now, she was loyal. Loyal to this town, loyal to you. She made you a promise. She said that she would keep the Van Gogh safe, and that's exactly what she did...

Watching over it every time she played the organ.

She saved her tips all those years, hoping.

Charlie

In case I came back.

Yeah.

Charlie

You know... When I came back here and found out she was gone, I felt cheated. I-I didn't know how she would have felt about seeing me. Now I-I guess I do.

Sophie

You can't possibly know that's the real story.

No, but it's the best story.

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Sophie

Oh, I'm starving. All that talk about tubers.

Let's, uh, let's get dinner.

Sophie

Huh?

Oh, no, no. I'm not, no. I'm not saying, like, dinner like that, no. Just like a bite to eat, kind of...

Sophie

As colleagues.

As friends.

Sophie

Oh. A civilized working meal.

Yeah, as friends.

Sophie

Oh. You said that part.
