Episode Quotes
Alec: Now I've ID'd the perp, I know what they want, and I know why. What did you do with your afternoon?
Eliot: I'll tell you what I'm gonna do when I get back there.

Eliot: You don't throw crowbars at people!
Parker: Sorry. "You don't throw crowbars at people." Could have just tasered him.

Nate: If you know where I've been, then you know that this is my town now. And I don't want you running game in it.
Jimmy Ford: All your life you thought you were better than me. Now you're trying to be me. You can't be me. You don't have the stones for that. You're not tough enough. You're not ruthless enough. You don't have what it takes.

Nate: We can do this. It's what we do. It's our job to go after the bad guys.
Sophie: It's not your job to take down your father.
Nate: No. It's my pleasure.

Sophie: Eliot! Come on, make it snappy. Being handcuffed in a police station is a recurring bloody nightmare of mine.

Pieter: I don't like you.
Nate: Gee, does that mean I can't come to your birthday party and ride the pony?

Parker: (after rattling off bank security specs) What? What do you guys do on your weekends?
Eliot: There's something wrong with you.

Nate: What was it you used to always say to me? "You're too much of a thinker, Nathan.You need to be, uh, be--be more of a scrapper to survive."
Jimmy Ford: Yeah, well, I'm never wrong.
Nate: That, too, you always used to say.

Parker: So, uh, Nate going to be nice now?
Alec: Don't count on it.
