Leverage, Season 1

Sterling:
Why are you playing poker with my client, Nate?

Nate:
Alan Foss is your client. Huh. The fire, you're investigating the stable fire for IYS, you got my old job.

Sterling:
Actually, I have your old office, very roomy. Allow me to rephrase. Why is an ex-insurance agent playing poker with the subject of an open insurance investigation?

Nate:
Open investigation? Local cops think it was an accident.

Sterling:
Local cops don't have to write a check for $2 million. It's my job to make sure that doesn't--Uh huh. Oh, Nate, that's pathetic. This is another one of those complicated little games that you like to play. All right, so, you're hustling Foss, trying to prove arson or get him on fraud. Whatever, as long as the company doesn't have to write the check. You're trying to get your old job back.

Nate:
Okay. You have it all figured out. I'll just back off from now on, hm?

Sterling:
Nah. It's too late for that. Tell you the truth, though. I'd kind of given up on Foss. I like the trainer for the fire, Willy Martin.

Nate:
Willy Martin's an innocent man.

Sterling:
We're insurance men, Nate. We don't care about who's innocent and who's guilty. Just who pays.
