'''Eliot''': I don't. (fires four shots into mook's chest) Never said I couldn't use them. }}
* Hardison disarming the massive EMP bomb at the end of "The Big Bang Job." No wonder Parker [[Will They or Won't They?|finally]] [[They Do|wanted]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|pretzels]] when it was all over.
{{quote| '''Hardison''': If I do this right, I overload the batteries, they'll explode, and this thing is worthless.<br />
'''Parker''': And if you do it wrong?<br />

{{quote| '''Nate''': "I'm not trying to talk you out of anything... I just want you to know why I'm doing this."}}
** Also a meta-example: the actors in "The Van Gogh Job" flashback are Hardison, Parker, Nate, Sophie and Eliot playing subtly to intensely different roles, which really shows how ''phenomenal'' the acting on this show is.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZtSrYNXTd8 Eliot vs. Roper] (played by mixed martial arts champion Urijah Faber) in "The Carnival Job". With a concussion from having very recently been rammed into by a carnival ride, fighting disoriented in a hall of mirrors, Eliot then has to go up against a hired martial arts expert that proceeds to [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|outclass him in every respect and repeatedly leave him gasping on the floor]]... and then the [[Theme Music Power
** What's particularly great about the scene is the subtlety; they don't go with the cliche that 'Eliot can kick more ass with his eyes closed than he can with them open'. Instead he closes his eyes (presumably to avoid the disorienting effect of the mirrors) and concentrates on nothing but all-out defense, not even trying to attack... but his ability to duck everything Roper is sending his way while blind, when immediately earlier he was hitting Eliot practically at will, completely spooks Roper into thinking that Eliot is some kind of superhuman ninja. At which point he's off his game enough that Eliot can just open his eyes again, slam Roper in the gut, and then drop him like a bad habit.
* In "The Boiler Room Job", the team concocts a plot to take down the episode's villain by getting each and every person he had stolen from involved in the con, allowing them to personally confront the thief that had stolen their life savings. The villain is so flabbergasted that he thinks the team is lying to him.
