Nate: "Did you just kill a guy with an appetizer?"
Eliot: "I don't know. Maybe."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardison: [just lost a bet to Eliot] "How did you know?"
Eliot: "You have a tell."
Hardison: "I have a tell? In Rock-Paper-Scissors, I have a tell?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nate: "Grifter, hitter, hacker, thief. You were all trying to solve your version of the crime instead of just trying to solve the crime. There’s a reason we work together."

Eliot: “What are you gonna do when she finds out you live with your mom.”
Hardison: “Age of the geek, baby. We run the world.”

Eliot: “How is that more important?”
Parker: "I take that personally.”
Eliot: “There’s somethin’ wrong with you.”
