Leverage: The Long Way Down Job

Season 4, Episode 1

 

The team takes to the mountain to find the evidence that a mortgage company is intentionally foreclosing unnecessarily on homes.

Eliot: It's not the same. Are there avalanches on skyscrapers?
Parker: No, but that would be so cool.

 

Hardison: It's like a danger cupcake with murder icing.

 

Sophie: Nate, I'm at a party full of drunk millionaires who are far from home, who are dizzy from lack of oxygen. It's like grifter Christmas in here.

 

Nate: Okay, people. Let's go steal a mountain.
Parker: Again.
Nate: What?
Parker: Again. We already stole a mountain two years ago.
Nate: Really?
Eliot: Well, technically it was a mountain resort, not a mountain, but yeah.
Hardison: You were also very drunk on that one.

 

Eliot: The two of us, we do things they can't, won't.
Parker: That make us bad?
Eliot: It make us...us. Now you can take that as a gift, or you can take it as a curse, but that's up to you.

 

Nate: I said simple stall; you heard multinational finance feeding frenzy.
Sophie: To-ma-to, to-mah-to.

 

Hardison: You know, my nana used to say that what's normal is whatever works for you. We all work okay.

Hardison: Last time someone was in the news this much, they had a nasty video out.
Parker: What kind of video?
Hardison: I don't know. I did not watch it. That would be wrong.

 

Parker: How do you half save someone's life?
Eliot: 'Cause I was the one sent to kill him so I figured that only counts as a half, right?
Hardison: That actually makes sense.

 

Sophie: You sure about this?
Nate: Let's go steal a country.

 

President Ribera: This is the office of the President.
Moreau: Ribera, you're no the first president I've bought. You're not even the most expensive. This is my office. Just sign.

 

Sophie: Nate, I must say, out of all the deceitful, unprincipled, corrupt things I've done in my life, nothing is as bad as...
Nate: Politics.
Sophie: I can't even say it.

 

Hardison: You do know that I haven't hacked into any of the security feeds for Parliament?
Nate: Yeah.
Hardison: I should go get on that.
Nate: Do.

 

Michael Vitale: How is a campaign promise different from a lie?
Nate: It's complicated.

 

Sophie: Nate, if stealing a country were easy, everyone would do it.

 

Michael: I think I hate you.
Nate: I'm ok with that.

 

Hardison: Age of the Geek, baby.

 

Nate: You're just another bastard in a suit.
Moreau: So? Then what are you?
Nate: I'm a thief. Thieves don't win elections, we steal them.

 

Nate: In the absence of truth, the press will report rumor.

 

Nate: You know what I have? I have a 24 year old genius with a smart phone and problems with authority. You never really stood a chance.

 

Nate: You are utterly unclear on how to be dead. This is the second time in two years you've shown up at your own funeral.

Hardison: It's a second chance. Don't waste it.

 

Parker: Who taught you how to drive?
Sophie: Taxi driver in east Istanbul.
Parker: I like it.

 

Chapman: You said you didn't like guns.
Eliot: I don't. Never said I couldn't use them.

Eliot: Yeah. You never know if you're gonna have to fight a guy on ice.

 

Nate: What? Like you don't have one of these in your closet.

 

Hardison: Hey! That's him, isn't it?
