Episode Quotes
Nate: What happened to you?
Eliot: (beat up) How was I supposed to know it was a lesbian bar?

Sophie: Eliot, get ready to meet Irina. I'll give you your cues.
Eliot: You know. I have picked up women before, all right, yesterday.
Sophie: Uh huh, yeah, and we can all agree that, um…
Nate: Dagmara.
Sophie: Dagmara from the car rental was a lovely girl, but Irina is a professional grifter. She's going to see straight through your moves. She does this for a living. Irina gets people to like her, and trust her, even to fall in love with her. She doesn't do this for sport.
Nate: Hmm. Sounds like someone I know.

Nate: Parker, have you found him yet?
Parker: No. I can't believe I lost him.
Nicolas Obrovic: Well, hello, beautiful.
Parker: Found him.

Alec: Woah, woah, woah. I'm getting a bunch of calls to the police. What the hell is going on down there?
Eliot: I'll tell you what's going on. Parker just stabbed her guy with a fork!

Sophie: How'd you know Irina'd go for the movie thing?
Nate: A European grifter who wants to be an actress? Lucky guess.

Sophie: Of course you need the nun. You can't give Irina the death scene.
Nate: Whoa, whoa, whoa, what death scene?
Sophie: In the second act. The thing is you have to establish, you know, the main character's dramatic need. Otherwise there's no emotional payoff in the resolution.
Nate: Wait, this is a movie about NATO troops being attacked by werewolves. No, there is no emotional payoff.

Sophie: You need, you need someone to, I don't know, crawl through an air duct, you call Parker. Bash a head in, Eliot. Internet porn, Hardison. You need someone to take over a movie. then...
Nate: Ahh, yes...an actor.

Eliot: (about Sophie) She can't act.
Nate: She can act, when it's an act.

Parker: Why does an orphanage need armed security?
Alec: Must be some badass kids.

Eliot: Never tell a Chechnyan his sister has a nice smile. Trust me.

Nicolas Obrovic: Hardison?
Parker: (in Serbian) Oh shiny tomato!



Episode Goofs
Since from the start we get to know that the whole scam job will take place in Belgrade, Serbia. So the first scenes are actually some helicopter sunset views of the Danube River and that is really Belgrade. However, once they're in the American Embassy for the party, things change. There is a scene in which Parker abandons the tray (she's playing a waitress) on a table and walks towards a balcony to watch the panorama of the city from there. It's of Florence Italy. The Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio (city hall), can first be seen, and half a minute later the church of Santa Croce is visible.
