Episode Quotes
Sophie: The Skagway Shuffle
Nate: Yeah. That's what I was thinking.
Alec: See, now y'all are just making stuff up.
Sophie: It's like the Fiddle Game.
Nate: Yeah, only underground.
Parker: Is Eliot going to be the fiddle again?
Nate: No.
Sophie: No.
Parker: Can I be the fiddle?
Nate: No.
Sophie: No.

Sophie: A great grift is like a romance. You have to find out what they want and just give it to them. You have to woo them.
Parker: I don't woo.

Sophie: Find the right combination, and you can unlock the mark's trust, and then you can steal her...
Parker: ... soul.
Sophie: I was gonna say "confidence."

Alec: Now, there's no cell reception underground. Okay, the miners, they use a leaky feeder signal to communicate in the mine. But that's not compatible with our comms. (Eliot stares) I know. Quite the problem. You're wondering if I have an answer? I do. Bam! I created these UHF wireless nodes to couple with the leaky feeder, boost the signal, and then we.. hey! Hey, man, hey!
Eliot: Look, man, I know! I put them in the mine!
Alec: Yeah, but they're very...
Eliot: What? I got it! They're fragile!
Alec: I thought we was making progress.

Sophie: Tell me everything you know about her.
Parker: Okay, I've got some really good stuff in here. Okay, she likes sugar in her coffee--lots of sugar. And she hides tasty treats in her desk. She has a sweet tooth--maybe we could use that.
Sophie: Probably not. What else?
Parker: Umm. she never takes calls from her mother. No? Ooh, ooh! I got it. She mixes her blue pens with her black pens. In the same cup. Like... mixes them together.
Sophie: Yeah. Parker, I'm looking for something that someone might find weird. Someone normal. Uh, yeah. Someone normal might find weird.

Alec: No! No! Ew! Old people! Ew!
Sophie: Parker, they're not working out. They're... you know.
Alec: Sex, Parker! They're knocking boots.
Parker: Oh, yeah.

Alec: (over the earbud) All right, Eliot. I think I got a lock on the bomb.
Eliot: I got it.
Alec: What's it look like, man? Red wires, blue wires, what?
Eliot: (pushes a button) Boom!
Alec: Ah-ha. You're not funny.

Alec: Micro detonator, surround sound, dust spray, modified oxygen meter, and... what? What? Yes, I do spend my weekends making these things. Man, w-we're coming to a mine. It 's not rocket science.
Nate: I like it. It gives him a whole Village People construction-dude thing.
Alec: Thank you.

Alec: What are you doing?
Parker: Stealing souls is exhausting.
