Leverage · Season 1
You know, I couldn't believe it at first.
Sterling, welcome.
Then again, you did drink yourself right out of a job. Lost your house, your wife, plenty of money troubles.
Keep talking. You'll get to the point eventually.
Nathan Ford is a common criminal.
Oh, common. That’s just hurtful.
[to Eliot] Okay, listen. I am not gonna jeopardize the rest of the team because you have something to prove to your high-school sweetheart. It's just not gonna happen.
Oh, and you're not trying to prove something to Sterling? You're not trying to prove something to the world every time we help somebody out? We're all trying to prove something, just being here with you.
[to Eliot] If it gets too close, I will pull the plug and you will walk away, and that will be that. [to Sophie] And you--who do you have someone to prove to?
Myself...you arrogant son of a bitch.
[Crawling through an air duct] Looks like Parker's gonna have to crawl through the air duct again. God forbid anyone else would have to learn how to frickin' crawl on their stomach through a tiny space. It's not rocket science, people.
[on comms, from the truck] Parker, you realize that we can still hear you?
[Parker sighs exasperatedly]
Aimee...I've found Kentucky Thunder. He's a really, really big horse.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Uh, yeah, sometimes they keep him in there before he gets teased.
I don't want to be in a stall with a horse that's about to be teased!
See, you're not dead, good.
Don't be silly. Horses are much less murderous than I originally thought.
So...I was wrong.
I don't think I've ever heard you say that before. Wrong about what exactly?
You're never gonna be the kind to settle down, but, uh, I'm glad you found a family.
Th--those guys?
I'm just sorry it couldn't be me.
Look, it's terrible, what happened to your son. No one's denying that. Suffering doesn't automatically make you a hero.
I never claimed to be.
You just think you're above the law.
Oh, no. I like think of it as I pick up where the law leaves off.
[Scoffs] I'm not gonna be so nice next time.
Mm. Neither will I.
Hey. Sophie's here. What do I tell her?
Anything but the truth.
[Sophie walks in]
Hey.
Hey.
Thank you so much for coming to my play last night.
Oh.
Last night was awesome.
Thanks, Parker.
Yeah, it was like a horror movie. Attention must be paaiidd.
That was the worst night of my life.
Come on man, you've been in worse situations!
[Flashback: Eliot in a game of Russian roulette]
No. No, that was the worst.
Mm! How great were you? I mean, they ought to call it, uh, "Death of a Saleswoman." What a great commentary on the glass ceiling for women in corporate America.
Nate, I-I played the part as a man.
Yes, and brilliantly.
Thanks.
It’s not gonna be your last mass, Paul.
Hey, what are you gonna do? Nate?
Just...move God's…plans along.
That's Saint Nicholas?
Yes.
Santa Claus has a church?
[irritated] It's not Santa Claus!
[Later]
Hardison, can you make the statue cry without melting Saint Nick's head?
Don't melt Santa!
It's not Santa!
I don't do gangs.
Come on. We got some fresh air. Get off the computer.
I rappel.
Come on!
Did no one see me rappel?
Oh, I heard about it.
[As a gang member is holding a gun on Eliot]
You seeing this, Hardison?
Yeah, uh, the situation has my attention, yes.
You see, this is why I don't like guns. They have a specific range of efficacy. You see, most guys will make one mistake. They get too close.
[Knocks down the gunman and takes the gun, unloading it]
[Questioning a gang member]
You got a number?
[The gang member hands him a paper]
Can you do something with that?
Seven digits? I can find you on Mars.
