Neal Caffrey quotes from White Collar

Neal

Deceit and manipulation are generalities that can apply to anyone who lies, and everyone lies, including you, Dr. Summers.

Neal

Why would I delude myself?

Neal

I don’t strike you as confident?..

Neal

You're confident. What are your flaws?

Neal

Nobody’s perfect.

Neal

[suddenly very insecure] I’m..I’m reformed.

Neal

Of course not. Because everyone has done something bad at some point in their life, even you.

Neal

I thought confident people could admit to their flaws.

Neal

So are you.

Peter

I work hard. I do my job well. And I don't have a ten million dollar view of Manhattan that I share with a 22 year old art student while we sip espresso!

Neal Caffrey

Why not?

Peter Burke

Why not?! Because I'm not supposed to. The amount of work I do equals certain things in the real world. Not cappuccino in the clouds.

Neal

Look, I will find out where June buys her coffee if it's that important.

Peter

It's not about the coffee.

Neal

I think it is.

Peter

No it's not. [pause] This is what gets you into trouble. This is the start of those something-for-nothing schemes that lead to the frauds that got you locked up.

Neal

I think it's some sort of Italian roast.

Peter

Get in the car.

Peter

No, you don't get to lecture me about relationships. My wife didn't change her identity and flee the country to get away from me. [Neal looks stricken.] That was harsh, I didn't mean that.

Neal

Yeah you did. [Peter doesn't argue.] Did she really flee the country?

Peter

I don't know.

Neal

France, did she go to France?

Peter

I don't know!

Neal

You only know the guys that get caught. They're the second best criminals.

Peter

What's that say about you?

Neal

It says that there's an exception to every rule.

Neal

Did you really put Elizabeth under surveillance before you asked her out? Peter, I underestimated you.

Peter

You told him?

Elizabeth Burke

Oh, he said he wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing anybody else. Honey, it's cute.

Neal

I think it's adorable.

Peter

I'm putting you back in prison.

Neal

(After putting sunglasses on Peter) Now say, 'I'll be back'

Peter

No.

Neal

I swept the leg he went down.

Peter

You don't look dirty.

Neal

Yeah, well I know what I'm doing.
