" Hardison," "Pull up all the auctions in boston in the next two days." "Starke never stays in a city more than two days." "Wait a minute." "Not " " Not museums?" "No, no." "Starke likes to use auctions" "To figure out who wants the painting." "He picks who he's gonna sell the fakes to." "That bit was actually my part of the scam." "I made that up." "It's good, isn't it?" "That's still a lot of paintings." "Yeah, it's high-Profile." "A scam like this requires a lot of publicity," "Paintings $10 million or more."

"We need something to trade for the mercers' painting." "Such as?" "That." "That's what he's come for." "That's what he wants." "We just got to get there first." "Okay, parker." "Talk to me."

"Nate, if you tell him the truth about us, we're blown." "You cannot tell him about our clients" "Or about us helping people -- He's gonna use that against us." "If you know about us," "Then you would know to get out of my city." "It's still your city, nate." "I'm " " I'm just gonna take her out" "For one night of cheap fun." "I'll get her back to you in the morning." "I know this style." "This is chaos." "Chaos." "I heard you were in jail." "Guess i was wrong." "Hardison." "I heard you sucked." "Guess i was right." "Hardison!" "I seem to have lost my wallet." "Where's my i.D. Card?" "Folks, uh, we're gonna close a little early today."

"There's no way this crew is gonna get to that painting before we do " " No way." "We're not giving up on our only hope of helping the mercers." "They've waited their entire lives for justice," "And we're not gonna fail them now." "Yeah, yeah." "That." "Sure." "Yeah." " But, i mean, who does this guy..." " Think he is?" "Nathan ford, that's who." "Hey, what did he say about sophie devereaux?" "Did you kill her?" "Don't listen to that." "Come on." "We fooled them the first time."

"Why don't we just walk over here, sir?" "Come on." "I got this." "What kind of bird did you use?" "North american kestrel." "It's small-Bodied, but its wingspan is expansive enough" "That it sets off the motion detectors." "I would've gone with the scarlet tanager." "Similar wingspan, but the brighter colors are more distracting." "Yeah." "That was my second choice." "That's the wrong way." "You're going to come out on the wrong side of the room!" "Go!" "Your exit is directly above that painting!" "So i told them, i'm with the insurance company," "You know, to help smooth things over." "They were just super helpful." "All right." "Blueprints, security codes." "Great guys." "And now the lasers." "Goodnight, hardison." "P-P-Parker, the lasers are on!" "Freeze!" "Nate, he locked me out." "He has total control of security."

"You are the red in the red cross" "And in the red, white, and blue." "I got to go." "All right." "Back to your posts." "Come on." "Let's go." "This is saving me how?" "Well, at first," "I thought it was you that sent me that bomb" "To keep me from ruining this gig for you," "But then you said something to nate." "Word on the street is" "That you run the nastiest crew this side ofhe atlantic." "No reason to put a bomb in sophie's apartment" "If you thought she was still a thief." "Well, of course she's still a thief." "She's sophie devereaux." "You know, i wanted to recruit you for this gig." "Did you tell anyone else" "That you wanted to invite me to the party?" "Yeah, my " " My... my crew." "And, you know, once hardison got decent pictures of all of them," "Well, you know, the rest was, uh, was easy." "It's a match, baby." "Yeah." "I knew that she was trouble" "From the second you said her name!" "Now, why would you want to kill sophie?" "Come on, starke." "I had set up the perfect double-Cross," "And then you want to go and bring in a new player" "At the last minute?" ""Oh, and by the way, guys," "That new player is gonna be sophie devereaux."" "There's no way i'm gonna try to out-Con sophie devereaux!" "And i hate to break it to you, starke," "But she was the one that everybody was always scared of." "It was never you." "I've got a feeling there's a bomb" "Very similar to the one they sent me" "Waitg for you your getaway car." "Sophie, come on." "I'm not an amateur." "I'm not gonna let a keyboard monkey like that con me." "Where is your car?" "And if we hadn't come along," "When, exactly, do you think you'd be getting in it?" "Well, right about... why, that little son of a bitch!" "I don't think he's your problem now." "I am." "Well, what do you want?" "A deal." "Yes." "Your people in trade for the first painting you stole, the gustav klimt." "Do i look like moses?" "They're not my people." "Your reputation will be ruined." "Starke gets his whole team busted." "So much for the mastermind." "No one's ever gonna work with you again." "And, of course, to top it all off," "We do have the, uh, van gogh that you came for." "Oh, well...i mean... i'll trade you for that." "You really do run the nastiest crew this side of the atlantic." " We'll be in touch." " Yes, you will." "So, who's emily, then?" "Eighth grade." "I was crazy about her." "Little temptress, huh?" "Oh, you could say that, i guess." "Go." "I can top that." "Frag grenade, somalia." "Myanmar." "Sniper." "I was a sniper in myanmar for a while." " When?" " 2003." "Oh, no, no, no, no, no." "We can't have that." "Handcuffs." "Y'all nasty." "So, when i heard this painting belonged to somebody else," "I was so, uh..." " dismayed?" " So... uh... more, um, shocked." "Shocked, maybe?" "Shocked." "Uh, my associates and i just decided we had to return it." " Oh, god bless you!" " That's okay." "Thank you." " Thank you." " God bless you." "Enough of the hugging." "After 70 years, to see justice done... you are a fine man." "So...where's mine?" "You know, the sophie devereaux i knew " "She'd never waste her time like this." "What happened to her?" "Well... she ed, remember?" "Come on." "It wasn't so bad being the good guy." "Oh, please." "You ran a couple of cons," "You committed about 12 felonies trying to blackmail me," "And you handed over a stolen masterpiece" "Just to get what you wanted." "You're still thieves." "And in the end, i still win." "You did give him one of the fakes, didn't you?" "Yes, of course." "He got my phone!" "Go, go!" "Go!" "Thanks for letting us use the real one." "Yeah." "I hate loose ends." "Listen, i don't mean to be rude," "But my flight to paris leaves in 10 minutes." "No problem, sir." "Routine question about your checked baggage." "Oh, okay, great." "Wait." "Um, i don't have any checked baggage, so... that's your name, isn't it?" "?" "That's " "I, um... i... starke was right." "I'm not sophie devereaux anymore." "I haven't been for ages." "I... you killed her, you and your silly crusade." " It's just a name." " No, they're not just names, not to me." "All my aliases, every one of them, i " "I know when their parents died." "I know when they had their first kiss." " I " " Sophie." "You're the closest thing i've ever had to a real friend," "And i've never heard you say my real name." "How sad is that?" "So tell me." "Let me " " Let me finish burying sophie first." "Finish burying the rest of them... until all that's left is me." "Just me." "And how long will that take?"
