Leverage quotes

[hands the briefcase with the money to Parker] There's a lot of money in there.

Parker

Yeah, I know.

My wife's life depends on that money getting where it needs to go.

Parker

I understand. Sometimes bad guys are the only good guys you get.

They haven't arrived yet?

Eliot

Yeah. 'Cause meth-heads are so punctual.

Eliot

Hey. What smells like crank and screams like a girl?

Eliot

That's the right answer.

Sophie

I think it went through and through. Well, it missed your artery.

Well, at least there's that.

Sophie

Things could be worse.

Worse than me getting shot and you blowing our cover?

Sophie

We wouldn't even be in this mess if you'd just walked out with the cash when you had the chance. I would've been fine.

I know.

Sophie

Yeah, I can take care of myself. I've been doing it a long time. Since way before I met you. I'm just saying.

Yeah, you're right.

Sophie

Okay.

Sophie

We lost communication.

Yeah, we did.

Sophie

Hardison, Parker, and Eliot ...

That's right, they are on their own. Yup.

Who are you?

Eliot

Well, ma'am, we'd be the cavalry.

Hey, listen. She's gonna be all right. Everything's gonna be all right.

Your people. They're good?

Yeah. The best.

[Handing Judge Roy one of the pizzas] I was told you were expecting this. Now, is there anything else that we can get you? Anything at all that would help this end peacefully?

Oh, no, wait, whoa, wait. I'm not ...

Sir, now we brought what you asked for. If you let the hostages go, you and me, we can talk this thing out.

You don't understand. You see, it's those four ...

Now, now, look here bro...[gets to his knees] I understand. This seems like a hopeless situation right now.

What are you doing?

But nobody else needs to get hurt.

You, you, you! You're one of them, aren't you?

This is my money! They got my money again!

What the hell are you talking about?

It was in my briefcase!

This briefcase? [opens briefcase and whistles] Crystal meth? My God, Roy, what have you gotten yourself into?

Oh...I don't...That's not mine!

This is all starting to make sense now. It would explain the irrational behavior, the nervousness, the...irritability.

Shut up. You're not even real FBI.

Paranoid delusions, violent outbursts.

Sophie

You're still a geek.

Geek power, baby. Stay strong!

Sophie

Hey, thanks, Parker.

Parker

Whatever.

Sophie

No. It was an excellent performance.

Parker

Yeah, I think I can act okay when I'm yelling at people and bossing them around.

Sophie

Well, it's a good start.

Eliot

[tending to Nate’s wound] Oh! Settle down. You act like you've never been shot before.

So, uh, pizza boxes, huh?

Yeah, I know, I know, you could have done better.

No, no, no. No, I couldn't have.

Eliot

How do we even know this kid is an orphan?

Parker

See him pocketing those cookies? He’s hoarding food. That bag on the table--he keeps his essentials light and portable. He knows he's gonna be taken away at any moment. And there, when she goes to touch him, he flinches. He’s expecting...for her to...Trust me. He’s an orphan.
