Eliot:
The case is vacuum-sealed.

Hardison:
Do not tell me what’s inside.

Eliot:
Says... “influenza, 1918.”

Hardison:
Get out. Now! Get out! Now! Go! Go! Get out! (outside) The Spanish flu killed 50 million people during World War I, and now somebody’s got it.

Parker:
Look, we can do this. Just treat it like any another job.

Hardison:
This isn’t just any other job.

Eliot:
All right, all right. Stay focused.

Hardison:
I focused! That bug in there killed 50 million people! 50! And that was when the population was lower.

Parker:
Now?

Hardison:
Now? 150 million people. 150 million dead. Hey, we’re thieves, man, and we’re good at what we do, but this is way, way out of our league. And you expect us to go catch some psycho with a city killer? A country killer?

Eliot:
You scared?

Hardison:
You’re damn right.

Eliot:
I’m not. I got the best thief And the smartest guy I know chasing this guy. Hey, listen to me. You’re smartest man I’ve ever known, Hardison. I need that brain to get me to him. ‘Cause you know if I lay my hands on him, it’s done. Get me to him.
