Sophie quotes from Leverage

Sophie?

Sophie

Yes?

You okay?

Sophie

Yeah. You?

Ask me again in 10 minutes.

Sophie

You're gonna remember this one, aren't you?

Yeah.

Well, it took ten years, but we had our first crash-landing.

Sophie

Ten years. Thanks for getting it right this time.

You're right. Ten years ago I saw you for the first time. You were swiping a Degas from a collection in Prague. I saw you. You saw me.

Sophie

I ran. You chased.

Then, two years later, I, uh, caught up with you in Damascus. Caught you, I should say. You, uh, turned around, introduced yourself, and that's when I met Sophie Devereaux. It'll be eight years next month.

Sophie

Well played.

Thank you.

Sophie

I still don't understand how you can mix up Paris and Tuscany.

Eliot

Where the hell is he at?

Maybe he overslept.

Eliot

No. He doesn't oversleep. This guy sets an alarm to set his alarm.

Parker

"A man with one watch knows the time. A man with two is never sure."

Sophie

Huh?

Parker

I had fortune cookies for breakfast.

Okay, run it.

So, what, you had left-over Chinese for breakfast?

Parker

No, just the cookies.

Do you put milk on the fortune cookies? ‘Cause I don’t...

Parker

It's not cereal. It's a fortune cookie. You don't dunk it.

Sophie

Are you drunk?

Technically, no. I was drunk a couple of hours ago. Now I'm just hung over.

Sophie

I thought we had an agreement.

What agreement?

Sophie

That you'd sort yourself out.

I don't remember making a deal.

Sophie

No?

No.

Sophie

That's what we're afraid of.

Sophie

So, uh, you can write that little check now, eh?

Hey, why can't they all be this easy?

Of course not. We have to go to Miami. My dad's the one who has to write the check.

Aw, hell, why they all got to be this hard?

All right, Sophie, do not take the check.

Parker

What?!

Eliot

What?!

I’m sorry, what?

Now, don't tell me this makes you squeamish, 'cause it's all legal. I just found a...a loophole.

I said, "do not take the money."

Now, you tell him this.

Sophie

If what you're saying is you want to do real business, then I might have an opportunity for you, but it's for serious investors only. This is not something I would ever present to your brother.

Interesting.

Sophie

Hardison, where were you when it mattered? He asked me to tear up the check, so I tore up the check.

I didn't make the decision to throw away everybody else's money, okay? That was you and Nate.

Parker

Y'all are in cahoots.

We're going with a much bigger scam. One of the classics.

Parker

The "London Spank"?

The "Genevan Paso Doblé"?

Eliot

The "Apple Pie"?

Eliot

It's like The "Cherry Pie", but with lifeguards.

Sophie

[savoring the thought] Ooh.

[announcing the actual con they'll be doing] The "Glengarry Glen Death". It's like mutual fund, but instead of stocks, you invest in, in death. [Walks out to the balcony]

Parker

Is it me or is he getting creepier?

Guys, you got to trust me, all right? You've trusted me before, and with your life.

Eliot

[slams his hand down on the table] Not when you're drunk.

Oh, come on.

Eliot

You're not in control of yourself.

So, what, you're gonna control me? Is that it?

Eliot

Ah, I ain't your daddy. You can drink yourself into a coma as far as I’m concerned, but you take me down with you--then it's my problem.

You know, you talk too much. You ought to just go skip some rope.

Eliot

What? What? [gets up angrily]

Skip some rope.

Eliot

You want me to skip something? [heads across the room]

Sophie

Hey, hey! [gets in front of Eliot]

Eliot

I'll skip your drunk ass off this marble floor.

Now, don't you dare give me the "we're all a family" speech.

Sophie

Mnh-Mnh. No speeches. Just a question. Is this helping you? Hmm? If you give Wayne Scott back what he lost, will you be satisfied?

You know me. I can do this.

Sophie

I knew you two years ago.

Well, I’m still the same person.

Sophie

No. You're not

No, I’m not.

Sophie

You never used to go in for theatrics.

Well, like you said, I’ve changed.

Sophie

You're still a mess. You know, one of these days, they may not stick around and back you up.

They?

Sophie

Yes. They. I'm me.

Are you threatening to bail on me, Sophie?

Sophie

[Smiling] Give me a reason to stay.

Sophie

Bit early for that, isn't it?

What--what's that? [sees her holding pop can] What does that matter? What does that matter? What matters is this nice woman runs a food bank--you know, that we keep her out of prison. That's what's the matter. Look, this guy is probably halfway around the world already. Let's go.

Sophie

Is he sleeping?

Could be a concussion.

Eliot

No, I’ve had concussions. You don't snore.

Sophie

Yeah, no, you said you like to drink, but you didn't, you didn't characterize it as a problem.

Well, 'cause it's not a problem. Drinking relaxes me and helps me focus.

Sophie

Oh, I see. So you like to medicate yourself with alcohol, is that it?

What are you doing? Listen, doctor, do you know what the definition of "addiction" is? Any compulsive behavior that has a negative impact on your life. So I guess we could say that those $1,500 boots that you're wearing are an addiction.

Sophie

Well, I haven't heard any complaints.
