Leverage · Season 1
Who are you? Where's Becky?
She got promoted. Did you not get the email?
She got promoted? She only started a few months ago.
She must really know how to pick 'em. A few more lay overs, and she'll be piloting one of these things, huh?
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.
10 years. You don't remember when we met?
No, of course I do. I was just rounding it off.
By subtracting two years?
[Sophie picks up magazine and Nate sighs]
Is this gonna be a thing? A couple of years.
[as a flight attendant, speaking before takeoff] In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device. But let's face it, if this thing goes down in the water, more than likely, the impact will kill you.
[People give each other uncertain looks while Eliot rubs his face]
Please take a moment to locate the nearest emergency exits. Because if this plane's on fire, you're gonna wanna get out quick. Jet fuel burns at over a thousand degrees! That's hot, folks.
[People murmur, looking even more concerned and confused]
What?
Nothing. It’s just...I could've sworn I saw a maintenance guy get in that elevator.
A--A maintenance guy? Wow. Real nice. I bet you think we all look alike.
That's not what I meant.
You know what? If I have to go to one more of those damn sensitivity seminars, I know who I’m blaming.
No, no, no.
I know who I’m blaming.
It's not what I meant.
I blame you! You!
So we should focus on carry-on. No one checks bags full of cash.
Might not be cash.
What's it gonna be, Parker? Gold bars? They don't exactly travel well.
No, Parker's right. We could be looking at traveler's checks or bearer bonds...anything that packs light.
Could I have a ginger ale please?
You've already had two.
Yeah, I know. It's like a placebo effect. It's not really working, but it makes you feel better anyway.
Yeah? So, when's that supposed to kick in?
Look, flying isn't really all that scary when you think about it. I mean, there are a lot more likely ways to die than on a plane: car crash, house fire, electrocution, drowning, auto-erotic asphyxiation. I mean, fact is, death haunts us every day, no matter where we are.
You know what that reminded me of?
Yes, Paris. What?
It wasn't Paris. It was Tuscany.
Are you sure? No, I could've sworn it was Paris.
It was Tuscany.
It's a thing now, isn't it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they transferred me from the second floor.
Well, I don’t know what it was like in consumer integrations, but let me tell you, I have been working my butt off on this account. But Steve, no, he's just sitting back, waiting for me to fail. So he can swoop in and save the day. I swear, it's like he's a rogue and I’m a mage and we're part of the same guild, but secretly, he's at work with the Alliance to undermine us.
For the Horde.
For the Horde. [fist-bump] You play 'World of Warcraft?'
You kidding? Did you get the new expansion pack? Woman, I was up all night. Now, look, I mean 'Burning Crusade' was great, but this new one is mind-blowing.
Hardison...you bailed on the job because you were up all night playing a game?
First off, "game" is hardly adequate, okay?
Have you even gotten into Haldeman’s office...or have you found a way to screw that up, too?
I'll figure something out.
You can't skate by on talent and luck forever.
Hatbox full of Euros, pouch of uncut diamonds, and a stolen Stradivarius. Now, I’ve never lifted one of those.
Parker...
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.
I think we should tell her.
No way. That woman's already paranoid-crazy. We tell her there's a bounty on her head, and she's gonna lose it.
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.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Erlick? The guy we just took out?
[Eliot looks at her]
The guy Eliot just took out?
How would they do it?
Easiest way? Take 'em out in transit.
You mean bring down the plane they're on?
[Everyone looks at her pointedly]
You mean bring down the plane we're on?
Yeah.
When I knock people out, they tend to stay knocked out.
