Leverage: A Picspam
The second season of Leverage premieres tonight at 9pm eastern and if you get TNT, you should be watching!
Disclaimer: I was hurrying to try to get this posted before the season two premiere tonight, so the coloring is kinda all over the place and I didn't collect as many quotes as I wanted to. But it was fun anyway. :)
Basic premise: a Robin Hood-esque group of white-collar criminals (lead by a former insurance investigator) band together to take up the causes of the little guy and fight the powerful corrupt. The dialogue is smart and funny, the characters are three-dimensional, and it's so much fun!
NATE FORD:
The Mastermind. A former insurance investigator who has found a new purpose in life by helping the downtrodden get even against corrupt bigwigs.
Sterling: You just think you’re above the law.
Nate: Oh no. I like to think of it as I pick up where the law leaves off.
Nate: Just because you’re the good guys now…doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun along the way.
ELLIOT SPENCER:
The Hitter. He brings down the bad guys and ble to recognize the make and model of a gun simply by the sound it makes. He also cooks up a mean white truffle risotto.
Elliot: When I knock people out, they tend to stay knocked out.
Elliot: Hardison, how am I supposed to get out of the FBI offices with a box full of surveillance tapes, huh?
Hardison: Punch somebody!
Elliot: Oh, I’m gonna punch somebody....
PARKER:
The Retrieval Specialist Thief. Quirky and more than a little "off-center", Parker may be have a shadowy past as a orphan and be terrified of horses, but she can fit into a small space, climb a wall or rappel off a roof without any fear.
Parker: Oooh.. Old School! I found a safe.
Eliot: He tried to kill us.
Parker: More importantly he didn’t pay us.
Eliot: How is that more important?
Parker: I take that personally.
Eliot: There’s something wrong with you.
ALEC HARDISON:
The Hacker. If there is a computer to be decoded, a bug to be planted, a car to be traced or an identity to be created, Hardison is the man to do it.
Hardison: A couple years ago all the cellphone companies went digital with their voice-mail systems. Man, it was like somebody put a brand new swing set on my playground.
Hardison: Age of the geek, baby. We run the world.
SOPHIE DEVEREAUX:
The Grifter. The chameleon con-woman, she can give a performance that pulls the wool over just about anyone’s eyes
Sophie: Did you say plumber? That’s their cover? That is so cute. It’s like 1978 all over again.
Nate: Sophie Devereaux is the finest actress you’ve ever seen... when she’s breaking the law.
Parker: It’s embarrassing. Everyone knows you don’t rob a bank without an exit strategy.
Hardison: I had to retask 2 satellites just to get a lousy internet connection. Took more than an hour to torrent the last episode of Doctor Who.
Maid of Honor: You don’t think it makes me look fat?
Parker: Oh definitely. I mean, why do you think I’m letting out the waist? To make you look less skinny?
Parker (as a flight attendant): In the event of a water landing, your seat cushion can be used as a floatation device. But let’s face it, if this thing goes down in the water, more than likely, the impact will kill you.
... Look, flying isn’t really all that scary when you think about it. I mean, there are a lot more likely ways to die than on a plane: car crash, house fire, electrocution, drowning, auto-erotic asphyxiation. I mean, fact is, death haunts us every day, no matter where we are.
Elliot: It’s the lemon juice.
Nate: Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?
Nate: We’re both addicts.
Sophie: We’re all addicts. One way or another, we’re all addicted to our past.
Doctor: The world doesn't work this way.
Nathan: So change the world..
Hardison: Let’s make tactical supply chains sexy again, people. Who’s with me?
Eliot: You have a tell.
Hardison: I have a tell? In Rock-Paper-Scissors, I have a tell?!
Sophie: I never thought I’d say this. Ever. But that is too much money to steal.
Nate: Grifter, hitter, hacker, thief. You were all trying to solve your version of the crime instead of just trying to solving the crime. There’s a reason we work together.
