Sophie quotes from Leverage

Just take the mob out of it.

What? Take the mob out of it?

Hear me out. Isn't this just a breach of contract?

Eliot

These guys had a deal, right? And your boy, Ray, he lived up to his end, but Moscone didn't. And for that, there's not a court of law in this world this lady can go to.

Parker

Which is exactly the kind of case we take.

Oh, come on. I don't--why Teresa?

Sophie

I don't know. Well, her man's gone to jail for fifteen years, and she's waiting for him. For fifteen years. Do you have any idea how hard it is, to wait for someone?

Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay, let’s go rob Nicky Moscone, a guy who kills people and lives in our city. Yeah, let's do that.

…Oh, and then there's the FBI parked around the corner.

Parker

FBI? Where?

See that crappy van? Says "Plumber"?

Parker

Mm-hm.

Sophie

Did you say "plumber"? That's their cover? Aw, aw, that is so cute. It's like it's 1978 all over again.

Relax. We're with the bureau. Howdy. Special Agent Thomas. This is special agent Hagen. She's fresh out of Quantico. I'm showing her all the hot spots, you know. Uh-Huh. Oh, by the way, we got your memo. We're moving it up the chain.

What? Hey. G-great. Thanks. Well, come on in. Sorry about the heat, and the smell.

Sophie

Huh. How did he know that?

Oh, the field guys are always sending memos. They just need validation.

Sophie

It's a bit like an opera, isn't it?

Eliot

You mean 'cause I want to run away?

Sophie. Where are we at?

Sophie

Huh? I don't know, Nate. I think you need to ask yourself that question. You called me, remember? And now we're working together every day. I don't know what you want. And to ask me that dressed like a vicar? You're a very strange man.

No, no, no. I meant where are we at with finding the money?

Hey, we find the money, we get out before it starts. You know, I swear, I never understood the lengths people go with these things. I mean, the endless--you know, the dresses, and the endless toasts, and the crying. And, and, you know, it's just--it's unbelievable to me. And everyone has a role to play, right? And the bride and groom at the end of the day, they go home with a pile of cash. And if you really think about it, the whole thing is just a giant, giant con.

Sophie

Well...aren't you romantic.

Sophie

I'm staying.

I'm sorry, you're...you're what?

Sophie

I'm staying.

You're staying? Sophie, Sophie, it's the Butcher of Kiev.

Have you ever been to Kiev? The cake-maker of Kiev would whoop all our asses. This is the Butcher.

Sophie

So, padre, a wedding's just a big con, huh? [walks away]

I never said there was anything wrong with that.

Eliot

Hardison, I don't need a ticket. I got an Air Marshal badge.

Sophie

What if there's already a Marshal on the plane?

Eliot

There's only one Air Marshal per every 100 flights.

Sophie

Ooh, I know that's good for us, but I so wish I didn't know that.

Sophie

[To Nate and Eliot] How did you both know there'd be an extra uniform in the bag?

Everyone knows flight attendants are required to carry extra uniforms in case they get called to work unexpectedly.

Eliot

Or if something happens to the one they're already wearing.

Sophie

How does everyone know that?

Worked airport security.

Eliot

Slept with a flight attendant.

Sophie

Okay, so, um...if we're gonna play "happy family," we should, you know, really get our background straight.

Let's keep it simple--use our own back-story. Our wedding day is the day we met, which means we've been married for 8 years.

Sophie

10 years. You don't remember when we met?

No, of course I do. I was just rounding it off.

Sophie

By subtracting two years?

Is this gonna be a thing? A couple of years.

Sophie

You know what that reminded me of?

Yes, Paris. What?

Sophie

It wasn't Paris. It was Tuscany.

Are you sure? No, I could've sworn it was Paris.

Sophie

It was Tuscany.

It's a thing now, isn't it?

Sophie

Oh, yeah.

Parker

Hatbox full of Euros, pouch of uncut diamonds, and a stolen Stradivarius. Now, I’ve never lifted one of those.

Parker...

Sophie

This is insane. Between the four of us, we've found millions of dollars of merchandise. None of it belongs to Genogrow.

Cayman islands--thieves' holiday.

Sophie

I think we should tell her.

Parker

No way. That woman's already paranoid-crazy. We tell her there's a bounty on her head, and she's gonna lose it.

Sophie

I think she has a right to know. Anyway, if Haldeman’s going to this much trouble, then she must have something, some information that could help us help our client. She's our smoking gun.

Okay. Tell her.

Parker

Don't say I didn't warn you.

How would they do it?

Eliot

Easiest way? Take 'em out in transit.

Sophie

You mean bring down the plane they're on?

Sophie

You mean bring down the plane we're on?

Yeah.
