notable moments from The Experimental Job
nate: “you wanna skip the ‘behold my genius’ part and just skip to what you found?”
bruh chill ,,, people need to appreciate hardison more
bruh I’m a psych major and I’m going to go to grad school for it eventually and my skin is CRAWLING these experiments were so unethical it hurt to watch
nate: you ever go quail hunting, hardison
hardison: do I LOOK like I go quail hunting?
eliot: lemme ask him something, HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED A VIDEO GAME WHERE YOU GO QUAIL HUNTING?
FUCK YEAH LESBIAN COP I LOVE IT
Hardison: “He's just a kid, Nate. How bad could it get?”
Nate: “How many grown men said that about you while you were raining digital fire down on their lives?”
Hardison: *laughs* “Now I'm nervous.”
EW WHAT THE FUCK ELIOT JUST CRACKED AN EGG AND PUT IT IN HIS CUP AND D R A N K IT YALL NASTY
the scene where it shows how parker can tell what numbers are being punched into the lock without actually seeing them? genius
the contrast between parker and hardison at the party and eliot at the homeless shelter
parker hyping hardison up about his video games even though she doesn’t really care for it
she cares for HIM and if it makes him happy it’s important to her
sophie: “that actually worked?”
hardison: “no. but the fact that she thought it would work, that worked.”
eliot: “if this country was known for keeping its promises we wouldn’t need the marines” FUCKING SAVAGE
“they had me at food” bruh that’s so sad
eliot having to let the guy tase him with an annoyed/resigned look on his face
Interrogator: You ever count them?
Interrogator: You know. The people you've killed?
Interrogator: Give me a ballpark. It's got to be a big number, right?
Eliot: You think asking me about my past is gonna open up old wounds? Maybe put me off balance a little? Make me easier to break?
Interrogator: I'm just trying to get to know you better. Why does that question make you so nervous? Is that what all this is for you? Are you trying to punish yourself for the things you've done?
Interrogator: I think that's it. I think the reason why you won't give me your word and walk out that door is 'cause you think you deserve to be here.
Eliot: What do you want to know? Names? Dates? Locations? (softly) You want to know what food was on their breath? Their eyes – what color their eyes were? You want to know the last words they spoke? You want to know which ones deserved it. Or, better yet, the ones that didn't? Do you want to know which ones begged? Do you know why I remember these things?
Interrogator: I don't know.
Eliot: You don't know? 'Cause I can't forget. So there's nothing you can do, no punishment you can hand out that's worse than what I live with every day. So, to answer your question, no. No, I haven't counted. I don't need to.
Interrogator (shaken): All right, we're -- we're done for the day
man this monologue gave me the CHILLS
eliot suffering through the comms at night and parker bringing coats to all the participants the next day
I know that was technically part of the con but still
PARKER WAVING A WHITE FLAG IN THE DOORWAY AFTER SHE AND HARDISON GOT IN A FIGHT GOD I LOVE HER
eliot & co. dropping E V E R Y T H I N G to save hardison
eliot’s whole ‘four minutes to change your mind about torture’ like I GET IT you love hardison
+ that shouldn’t have been as hot as it was
parker swooping in time save her bf
“should I tell him it’s the age of the geek?”
“he’ll figure it out eventually”
*parker kicks the asshole frat boy in the head*
lesbian cop who I am in love with: *splashes coffee on the wall* there, perfect
man I LIVED for all the homeless vets getting back at that asshole,,, leverage retribution at its finest
