- Alec Hardison: You ID'ed a guy off his knife fighting style?
- Eliot Spencer: It's a very distinctive style.
- Sophie Devereaux: [pretending to be a defense contractor] My company's focused on meeting Senators, but, um, I'm thinking Congressmen.
- Charles Dufort: You know the great thing about Congressmen? 50, 100 grand well spent will get one elected. But then, once they're in, the incumbency rate is over 95%! So you can get on an average 18, 20 years use out of one of them. In these uncertain times, buying a United States Congressman is one of the best investments a corporation can make!
- Alec Hardison: [listening in on surveillance] Oh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm a professional criminal and I find that disturbing.
- Alec Hardison: [about Eliot breaking a camera with a rock] I'm sorry it was too far away for you to punch. I'm sure that really frustrates you.
- [standing atop a skyscraper in repelling harnesses]
- Alec Hardison: I just realized I need to go back to the office.
- Parker: Why?
- Alec Hardison: Because I remembered gravity and the squishiness of my manly parts.
- Parker: [trying to spruce up the office] I bought a plant.
- Alec Hardison: Nice. Team spirit.
- Parker: What does it do?
- Alec Hardison: [after stopping their mark from killing the client] I didn't sign up for any of this. What I did before, nobody got hurt.
- Sophie Devereaux: I stole paintings for a living.
- Parker: I never hurt anybody.
- Eliot Spencer: I actually hurt people, so...
- Nathan Ford: You know, money is... money. That's one thing. Cash is a whole other thing. For all the money in the economy, there's only about $500 in cash for every American.
- [Hardison introducing the others to the central room of Leverage Consulting and Associates]
- Alec Hardison: Long version or the short version?
- Sophie Devereaux: Short.
- Eliot Spencer: Short version.
- Parker: Shortest.
- Alec Hardison: Photo and video forensics programs, back doors into every electronic banking system in the world, running heuristic datacrawlers all over the news sites to find our clients. Oh, also...
- Parker: [interrupts] This is the short version?
