Sophie quotes from Leverage

Sophie

You look awful.

Thank you. That's sweet. Do you need something, Soph?

Sophie

You haven't had a drink in 48 hours. This is withdrawal.

Soph, I’m not in rehab. Pretending.

Sophie

Ah.

Yeah.

Sophie

Well, congratulations. You've got me fooled.

Listen, the guy, okay, he's an addict. You know, he's-he knows how to manipulate people. My father was an addict, my grandfather. I know how these people operate.

Sophie

I'm just gonna let you think about that for a minute.

Sophie

[Over the phone] How did you break him [Hurley]?

Ah, well, um…

Sophie

You took him out for tacos? Nate, you're enabling him.

Whoa, whoa! I haven't slept in three days! I had a showdown with two different gangs, who now, by the way, know my face, I sat on a bomb, and all of this could have been avoided had you gave the man a taco?

Parker

[throws envelope on the table] This isn't for me. It's addressed to somebody named Alice White.

You are Alice White. It's one of the aliases I made for you: vegetarian, bookkeeper. She had a pretty wild time at her sister's wedding in Phoenix. You should check out her Facebook page.

Parker

Alice White has jury duty.

Damn, I am good.

Parker

Yeah, congratulations. Alice thanks you for getting her out of it.

No. No. Jury duty. A place where you have to follow instructions.

Sophie

Where you have to consider other people's point of view.

Eliot

There's gonna be normal people there, Nate.

No, no, no. You're not getting out of this. Alice White is reporting for jury duty.

Sophie

I think it's funny. You know, it reminds me a bit of rugby, except, well, you Americans, you wear the helmets and the pads and everything so you don't get hurt.

Oh, you didn't.

Sophie

What?

Sophie

You know, she's never done that before.

What, stormed out? Come on.

Sophie

No, asked for our help.

How much money are we talking?

[Sputtering] You...you're serious?

Sophie

I flew 14,000 kilometers to give you that number.

That's a very long trip.

Sophie

That's a very long number.

Sophie

Okay, today did not go well, but that's all right. You know, we learn when we fail. We're gonna-we're gonna go back to basics, and we're gonna do a little role-playing. Gonna start with-with persuasion techniques. So, Eliot has an apple. Alice has an orange.

Eliot

I love apples. Apples are my favorite fruit.

Parker

Good for you, sparky.

Eliot

I-I don't have to sit here and take this crap.

Sophie

Go on. Just do it for me.

Eliot

You have an orange, all right? Now, convince me that I want the orange, not the apple. I'm gonna take a bite. [slowly brings the apple to his mouth and takes a bite]

Parker

I put a razor blade in that apple.

Eliot

[He spits the bite of apple out] Are you serious?

Parker

Maybe. But do you know what doesn’t have a razor blade in it? This orange. [smells the orange] Don't you want it? [tosses the orange at Eliot and leaves]

Sophie

You fell for that?

Sophie

All I need for you is to settle your current legal matters. We can't go into business with you with bad press.

Earnshaw says if we settle, we open ourselves up to lawsuits--

Sophie

We don't care about more lawsuits. With a billion people in the workforce, a few deaths won't raise an eyebrow.

Government won't crack down?

Sophie

Mr. Quint, it takes five years to get a parking permit.

Parker

Alice made a friend!

Eliot

I'm gonna tell you one more time. You made a friend. Not "Alice."

Parker

Oh. Cool! Well, think she'll want to go steal a painting with me?

Sophie

Start small, Parker. Try coffee.

Sophie

You honestly think that we can fool Maggie with a fake?

No. She's too smart and too experienced. When we worked together, there was nobody better.

Sophie

A simple "no" without the cheerleading would have done. This does complicate things.

Sophie

Maggie, works for the man who let your son die? She doesn't have a problem with that!

She doesn't know! [Sophie looks at him in shock] She doesn't know that IYS and Blackpoole denied Sam’s treatment.

Sophie

How can she not know?

She doesn't know, because I never told her.

Sophie

Was that absolutely necessary?

He wouldn't have believed a handshake. And it felt good. Hardison, where are you?

Hardison, what is this?

Yeah, well, since Sterling blew our covers, I had to find a new safe house. Lay low.

Sophie

This is your idea of laying low?
