The Real Fake Car Job

This is the first I’ve seen this episode so bare with me. There are spoilers so, sorry. Here are my thoughts and favorite moments. As always the five are colored accordingly: Nate, Hardison, Parker, Sophie, Eliot, and for this one we’re adding the Mark bc he is. Just.

um first of all. Is that... Shaggy from the scooby doo movie???

Gasp that WitSec lady’s pretty 

“I just thought, a guy like you would have an office or something.” “Nah tried that once. Had trouble keeping it in one piece” Thanks a lot Sterling

okay but the victim has. the best eyelashes what??

“He’ll trade his mob records for immunity and a new identity. Sweet.” ... “I mean. Evil and clever, but bad.”

Also the way Eliot looked at her I just- 

Also Also Eliot naming the gun and identifying the bodyguard’s affiliation and connecting it to witsec

A former Millionaire works at a library haha

He just spoiled the book what a jerk

Also it’s free wifi and he’s selling it for $5 fsdhkj “I know it says free internet, that just means it’s available”

Parker and the bag of trash “No! I just had Lucille detailed! Girl- Is that seafood I smell??”

“Really? That’s the best you got?” “Uh-” “Guys I got something.” “Oh thank god.”

Hardison throwing the banana peel at Soph

They used Craigslist I’m-

“All expenses paid trip to Bora Bora” “Lucky, man.”

“Do I have to talk to Parker about-” “Yeah.” “...”

I would rather be in portland than arizona why are you mad??

Parker looking CUTE in the sun dress and floppy hat.

“It’s such a shame isn’t it?” “No. Well, yes, yes of course.”

Parker becoming such a good Grifter now

The mark trying not to appear excited when he connects that it’s the Mussolini 

“I’m Franny Mackleroy, this is my husband-” “Barry Mackleroy. We’re the Mackleroy’s.”

“just a little thank you for letting us JOIN YOU’RE NEIGHBORHOOD!”

Also Soph’s face in the thing

Hardison and Parker’s lil exchange about retiring and living like that “All up in each other’s faces 24/7″

“Eliot told you.” “You were flailing just a little.” “Just a skosh?” “Yeah.”

“Acting strange? In Portland?”

They name dropped Mr. and Mrs. Smith I love it

Sophie speaking Italian

Charlie looks a little nervous...

The Mark haveing $150,000 dollars in cash from basic scams like selling free wifi

Hardison being an annoying artist

Sophie’s wave

“This wheel well and that one, would serve as the perfect base for my next... mmm expression.”

“You’re going to buy this- this car and dismantle it for parts??” “Mm, no, no. I don’t see word, parts. I see links to a very specific time and place.”

The mark being visibly shook about Hardison taking apart a ‘21 Bentley and a mercer cobra i don’t get it oh wait they were his cars kjdfgh

“SEVEN-SEVEN-SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR THIS CAR!” “Sold!” “...for shame.” “Out.”

Sophie and Eliot being sketchy I love them so much

“What do want to do when all this is done?” “I always wanted to open up my own restaurant. But now I might end up making sure Hardison’s doesn’t go out of business. Throw a couple drunks out, won’t let it get robbed once a year.” What a good boyfriend

“okay. Now I’m scared.” “What? I’m here?” “Eliot. You’re what’s scaring me.”

Eliot would 100% be the most readjusted of the five 

“I’m tired.” “You’re tired...Must be all the fresh air you’re breathing.”

*Says something* “Shut Up!” "thank you”

*Repeats Sophie* “Gimme the gun. I’ll shoot him myself.” “No.” “I’ve never shot anyone before. Let me shoot him.”

Oh my god the mob is with charlie I knew it

“You idiot.” Half a second later. “Alright that one’s on me.”

“South entrance will be clear in...ten seconds?”... “Make it five.”

“You mean you want us to get all the way over there, fuel up the car, and drive out all in the middle of a gun fight and pretend it’s bullet proof like the bat mobile?!?” *gun shots* “okay I’m in let’s go.”

The mark screaming whenever he gets shot at

“Stop! Stop driving! Please stop!”

Imagine making the mob because the police in your neighborhood sucked like what an icon

[teldrassils]

Let's all remember that the people writing and directing Leverage referred to Nate and Sophie as the parents and Hardison, Parker and Eliot as the kids.

[teldrassils]

Fun fact from the Leverage commentaries: Lara is Sophie's real name. Gina chose it during the first season and John Rogers said that if s5 really was the last season, then Lara was her real name (if they had gotten a 6th season, it might not have been.)
