From “As annoying as you people are, I quit this crew when I quit this crew, nobody makes me leave” to “[I’ll keep them safe] ‘til my dying day”, Eliot-fucking-Spencer
parker AND eliot were both using lil flip notepads when they were casing the museum
- - - - -
they were apart for three months. THREE!!! MONTHS!!!
- - - - -
the whole scene where parker, hardison, eliot and sophie are casing the place and just narrowly missing each other until it all blows up in their faces? BIG doctor who vibes from the episode where donna and the doctor keep barely missing each other until they see each other through the windows and get caught
- - - - -
aww the last dammit hardison of the season
- - - - -
(Hardison drops his helmet as he rounds a corner, followed by two guards)
Hardison (to Eliot): Help me.
Eliot: I got you.
Hardison: Help me, help me!
(Eliot grabs Hardison’s arm and flips him, then gestures to the other guards)
Eliot: I got it.
Eliot: All right, check one floor up. I think I saw another guy dressed just like this one.
Guard: Got it.
Guard 5: Let’s go.
Eliot: Move! (pushes Hardison into the elevator)
Hardison: I'm gonna kick your butt.
Eliot (pushes Hardison): Stand over there!
Hardison: I'm gonna kick your butt
🥰 chaotic boyfriends 🥰
- - - - -
(Sophie walks toward the doors. Parker drops down in front of her)
Parker: Oh! W- Where did you --
Parker: Run now. Talk later
- - - - -
sophie took off her heels to run
- - - - -
okay but I NEED THAT SCENE OF ELIOT, HARDISON, AND PARKER SQUISHED INTO THE BACK SEAT OF NATE’S CAR AS THEY SPEED AWAY, HAVING NOT SEEN EACH OTHER FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS
- - - - -
Hardison: How'd you know we'd be there?
Nate: Last week before the exhibit opens, security almost in place, but not fully staffed. Best time to case the joint. Plus, I did chase all of you at one point or another.
- - - - -
Eliot: Is she in on this?
Sophie: "She" can hear you, okay?
Hardison: Wait a minute. There is no "this," Eliot.
Parker: Sophie did come back for me.
(Nate walks over to the table, which is covered in plans)
Eliot: Wouldn't have had to if she wouldn't have lied to you.
Hardison: No calls for three months. I don't need you people.
Parker: What do you mean, you don’t need us?
Sophie: I’m sorry, I seem to remember a certain job with horses where I backed your play, actually.
Eliot: I don't care! You don't con your crew!
(the four of them begin arguing, talking over each other. Nate whistles to get their attention)
parker immediately backing sophie up? we love a trusting daughter
hardison acting all dismissive and parker IMMEDIATELY calling him out? amazing
eliot having trust issues? we’re sad to see it but not surprised at all lol
- - - - -
Nate: Glen-Reeder security system here.
Parker: And that's not the worst of it. (walks over to table)
Nate: Hmm?
Parker: The Davids are under bulletproof glass on a motion-Detector pad.
Nate: Really?
(the others join them, Nate takes a step back)
Parker: Mm-Hmm.
Sophie: Environmentally sealed…
Nate: Really.
Sophie: …kept at a constant temperature and humidity in the case. I saw them working on the airflow.
(Nate walks away, no one notices)
THE FAMILY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
- - - - -
Nate: Why'd you come back? We agreed to scatter for six months. All of you–all of you—made an amateur move being there.
Parker: It's too hard to leave a job undone. It's like an itch.
Hardison: I put a lot of work into us, into that office. It was like my second home. I blew up my second home.
Eliot: As annoying as you people are, I quit this crew when I quit this crew. Nobody makes me leave.
Sophie: I just, I really wanted to hurt Sterling.
THEYRE A FAMILY, YOUR HONOR
- - - - -
eliot smiled when nate said he taunted them bc:
1. fuck with sterling at all costs,
2. typical nate, and
3. he MISSED THIS
ALSO
hardison and sophie look exhausted and annoyed when nate said he told them he was going to steal it. meanwhile, parker and eliot fucking smile because yeah, get on their level. they Get It™
- - - - -
the team sitting around the table like old times ,,,
ALSO hardison’s worktable tho,,, half eaten bag of chips, empty bottle of orange soda, mini basketball, etc. we love to see how this man works
- - - - -
Sophie: Hey, I think the roof's the way in, but it looks like they've rigged alarm sensors to the skylights.
Parker: I can get around those.
Eliot: Really? And end up on one of the new 20 cameras they got down there from our last little trip to the basement?
Parker: That was fun.
Hardison: Yeah. Could we talk about that?
Parker: Talk about what?
hardison: can we talk about the kiss or ???
parker and eliot are sitting next to each other :)
also eliot is wearing flannel now and we love to see it
- - - - -
Eliot: How'd we miss that?
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 was a reason we worked together.
- - - - -
Parker: What about Maggie?
parker likes maggie
+
Parker: Okay, look, you always have a plan "b," right? So, fine. Without Maggie, what's the plan "b"?
MASTERMIND PARKER IN SEASON ONE
- - - - -
Nate: You know, I had to ask her out 10 times before we even got a coffee --
Eliot: Coffee? I would love to. Yeah. What time--? In an hour? I, yeah, I would love to. Let me write down where you want to go. I know exactly where that place is at. All right. I'm looking forward to it. (hangs up)
Nate: Yeah, all right -- No.
Eliot: She probably just really wants some hot coffee.
Nate: Shut up!
Eliot: It's not like a date. (pulls his hair back)
Nate: Are you kidding me? You're fixing your hair?
Eliot: Because I’m playing the professor Sinclair dude!
maggie’s thirst + nate ready to die LMFAO
- - - - -
parker, hardison and sophie watching the button cam footage like a soap opera (sophie is literally eating gummy bears lmfao)
- - - - -
(Parker, Eliot and Hardison sit on the stairs as Maggie and Nate stand in the dining room, arguing)
Eliot: I feel used.
lmao poor eliot. although we love to see the ot3 sitting together as a unit
- - - - -
eliot using a tight alias and then using his real phone number? big dumbass energy
- - - - -
Nate: So we replace the rebar, reinforce the concrete, with any luck, they'll never know what hit 'em. And that, that's the plan.
Maggie: You actually expect this to work?
Nate: Um…
Hardison: No, no, you're supposed to say, "wow. That's just crazy enough to work."
Sophie: Incredibly, chance does seem to bend itself to his bizarre machinations.
Parker (whispers): That's his superpower. (smells Maggie)
in this house we love and respect maggie
also dnjsjsjjdnsn under the cork boards there are two (2) big cases of orange soda and beer for eliot
+ now parker is wearing a very pretty flannel that I want
- - - - -
Maggie: I have to check museum inventory.
Nate: Oh. Easy.
(Nate looks at Hardison, who types on a laptop, then shows monitor to Maggie)
Maggie: This is confidential. (takes laptop) You're not reading my e-mails, are you?
Hardison: No. No.
(Maggie looks down at the laptop. Hardison nods to Nate while she’s not looking)
LMFAO
- - - - -
Sophie: Okay, why don't you run up to him? Being just a little bit out of breath, it changes the speech rhythms—
[Blackpoole Gallery]
Sophie: --makes it harder to detect a lie.
(Maggie passes Parker, taking Lloyd’s phone, and starts to run)
Maggie: Lloyd!
[Mansion Dining Room]
Hardison: See? Like that right there. It's informative.
Eliot: You learn and you con
it’s true, your honor
- - - - -
Nate: Okay. What's he found?
Hardison: Oh. Well, looky here. Dr. Ernst Volk, University of Berlin, dead. Dr. Schliemann, London museum, dead. Oh. Oh, and also the three guys that actually discovered the tomb. Eliot, what does that say?
Eliot: It says "dead."
Hardison: D-E-D, dead, baby.
Eliot and Nate: D-E-A-D.
Hardison: I-I know how to-- I was throwing a little style on it, Just a little bit, a little style. I know how to spell "dead," damn it. I can steal a bank, I can spell "dead. (annoyedly drinks orange soda)
give him a break pls
- - - - -
Sophie: Wrap it up now, Maggie. You're doing great.
THEY HAVE CHEMISTRY
john rogers said that they had a fling in canon (I’m thinking during sophie’s absence in season two) and bless his soul for giving that to us
- - - - -
Eliot: You need something?
Sophie: I was just trying to make myself useful.
Eliot: Yeah, well, last time you tried that, we had to blow up the office.
Sophie: That's not fair.
Eliot: I was just getting used to it.
Sophie: What? Having an office?
Eliot: Being part of a team.
Sophie: Look, I didn't mean, you know, it wasn't supposed to go down like that.
(Parker walks in and tosses a bag on the floor near Eliot)
Parker: What's going on?
Eliot: Sophie here was just trying to apologize.
(Hardison carries the painting into the room)
Sophie: No, I wasn't.
Parker: She tried that with me earlier. She kind of sucks at it.
Eliot: A little bit.
Hardison: Oh, did she give you the speech about how we're thieves and about how this is what thieves do and if we were in her shoes, we'd have done the same thing?
Eliot: No, I think she was just getting to that part.
(Eliot puts the part he was working on down and stands up)
Eliot: You apologized to him first, huh? Why am I last?
Sophie: I wasn't apologizing. I...
Eliot: That's the problem.
Sophie: I just wanted to see if w-we… we were all okay with each other.
Eliot: Okay. There it is.
Parker: I forgive you.
Hardison: Apology accepted.
Eliot: Yeah.
they give sophie shit but they still love her
also eliot is such a sap he misses the office and even admits that he liked having a team what a SOFTIE
- - - - -
Geary: Pictures have been distributed. We're scanning every guest that comes into the museum.
Sterling: Eliot Spencer?
Geary: Eliot Spencer, (referencing files) wanted in five countries, including Myanmar—
(Eliot walks behind Geary and Sterling, pausing to listen for a moment as they walk away from him)
Geary: --which is offering a half-million-dollar bounty on his head.
Sterling: Bringing Spencer to justice and getting paid for it? It's icing on the cake.
(Geary and Sterling get into an elevator)
[Museum Lobby]
(Geary and Sterling walk out of the elevator)
Sterling: Parker?
Geary: Parker. Wanted in nine countries, including Brazil and Yemen.
Sterling: Yeah, tough choice. I'll have to flip a coin.
(Parker is working in the gift shop of the lobby, watching them walk by)
Sterling: How about Sophie Devereaux?
Geary: England, France, Spain, Luxembourg -- Europe, basically.
Sterling: France. Wonderful shopping, horrifying prisons.
(they walk past Sophie, who stifles a laugh)
[Mechanical Room]
(Hardison turns on a light on his hat, opening a panel and attaching clips)
Sterling: Alec Hardison.
Geary: Well, he better not show his face in Iceland
I LOVED THIS MONTAGE
also we love to learn more about the team
- - - - -
on hardison’s phone when it shows their synchronized countdowns, he has himself down as “big h”
- - - - -
Ian: Conspiracy to commit robbery is what, five years? Catching him in the act, 20.
- - - - -
nate rappelled in this one!
- - - - -
nate snatching the gun right out of blackpool’s hand? eliot taught him that and you CANNOT change my mind.
- - - - -
Ian: Maggie!
(Ian walks over to Maggie, followed by Nate and Sterling)
Ian: Well, you understand –
(Maggie punches Ian in the face. He falls to the floor)
Maggie: Screw therapy. That felt really good. (walks away)
we stan a QUEEN
- - - - -
Sterling: Of course, you know your entire plan depended on me being a self-serving, utter bastard.
Nate: Hmm. Yeah, that's a stretch.
(Nate hands Sterling the gun and heads for the door)
Sterling: I'll call you when it's done.
Nate: You do that
- - - - -
(the team stands in a circle, dressed for travelling)
Nate: Thank you, all of you. You surprised me.
Eliot: We had a good run.
Hardison: It's a good time to move on.
Parker: I'm going somewhere... else.
Sophie: A fresh start.
Nate: We made a difference. Remember that.
Hardison (to Parker): Where you going?
Parker: Let's see how hard you look.
(the team separates reluctantly, each going a different direction. They all pause for a long moment, then the screen goes to black)
parker and hardison are still cute, parker is about to cry, hardison and eliot look very sad and almost tearing up, and sophie is actually crying
also hardison was the last one to turn around and that’s so in character it hurts my heart
+ the ot3 were each wearing leather jackets (plus eliot wearing a hoodie underneath = bix2)
I hate the scenes when they split up and the producers said that they ended every season as if that was final anD B O Y IF I HAD TO WATCH THAT AND HAVE IT BE THE END I WOULD HAVE R I O T E D
