White Collar · Season 1
[Mozzie wants Neal to run away with him.]
(Neal's close friend and a fellow conman): Do you want to leave or not?
No. There are things about this life I'm not ready to give up.
Do you even know what this life is anymore? I mean, you're, on a leash...
I can always walk out that door, Moz. I can never walk back in.
Well, then, you've made your choice. I always thought ours would be a happy ending.
If you want a happy ending, it depends—
—On where you stop the story. Yeah, Orson Welles.
(Neal opens a door and Peter reaches into his pocket and takes out a set of lock picks)
What are you planning on using these for?
(smiles) Always be prepared right?
Yeah (grabs Neal by the arm and pulls him inside with him and talks to security) I have a hostile witness on my hands, do you have a holding room or office I can leave him while I conduct my business upstairs?
Yeah, right here.
Come one, Peter, you cannot lock me in here-
(closes and locks the door on a still-protesting Neal) Watch me.
Why didn't you leave?
You...Elizabeth, Sara, the view from that porch, getting off the elevator Monday morning...I have a life here.
We've been playing by Keller's rules. Let's change the game.
Matthew Keller (Neal's blue-collar counterpart): ...last time, we were sneaking out of somewhere because you got caught in bed with that princess.
I didn't get caught in bed with her. They found me on the ledge outside her window.
I remember seeing you standing there with nothing but a solid gold tray covering your junk. I was the one that got you down from there before they started shooting at you.
In three months you could be a free man.
I said sit on a bench, not reenact Dead Poet Society.
I'll need an alias.
Alistair Stone. A wealthy Hong Kong banker, relocating to New York, looking for a school for your son, Alistair Jr. You like catamarans and cognac.
It's like you're an alias savant. [Neal shrugs] I do like catamarans, but, let's go with Peter instead of Alistair.
Linda's gonna be upset.
Linda?
Your wife. She affectionately calls you Ali.
She'll get over it.
Spousal immunity?
You made that up.
Yes, she has spousal immunity.
Guess they couldn't crack the safe.
So they took the whole damn thing.
Agent Wesley did not graduate from Quantico so that he could write your case reports.
Okay, who’s the case agent?
Before I tell you, remember that your commutation hearing is coming up. You should consider this an opportunity to impress Diana, Jones and myself with you maturity and self-restraint.
Peter, what did you do?
Neal! We are con men,grifters, mountebanks, flim flamers. We have to keep our skills sharp.
Flim flammers?
See? I'm already turning into a dinosaur.
Jones, she [Sara] roped you into this too?
Well, Peter said to help her legally, so you wouldn't have to illegally.
We need to have some rules.
I love rules.
ok. Rule no 1, don't date the boss.
Too late.
