Episode Quotes
Eliot: I thought we were supposed to hate the guys that we take down.
Nate: Not a requirement--a perk... usually.

Molly Connell: Don't have many people to talk to these days.
Eliot: I wonder why.
Molly Connell: Other than Daria.
Eliot: Who's that?
Molly Connell: She's our Eastern-European housekeeper. Talking to her is like... talking to an Eastern-European housekeeper.

Eliot: You know, I know a way to beat these, uh--these games you think are rigged?
Molly Connell: Yeah?
Eliot: Yeah.
Molly Connell: What?
Eliot: What do you think it is? Hard work.
Molly Connell: Was Rudy on cable last night.
Eliot: Yeah.

Alec: But it's not--it's not what you think, at all. It's an ASCD, an Automated Safe Cracking Device.
Parker: I'm a safe-cracking device.
