Scorpio - Cemetery Conversations: Responsibility and Intentions
McLeod: [at Sarah's funeral]
The hunter home from the hill.
Scorpio:
I'd buy a plot here soon, Mr. McLeod. It's a nice cemetery.
McLeod:
You think I'm responsible for this?
Scorpio:
Cross will.
McLeod:
And you think he'll come back?
Scorpio:
Don't you?
McLeod:
We have evidence that he's in Moscow.
Scorpio:
Then burn incense in front of it, McLeod. And pray.

Scorpio - Desire for Access in a Complicated Situation
McLeod:
Now, your government would like more names.
Scorpio:
Your second mistake, McLeod. Cross gave me enough information on each operation we did together. Not conclusive, but enough to make a strange reading. You can't let me go into a public court.
McLeod:
What do you want?
Scorpio:
I want inside.
McLeod:
Where?
Scorpio:
Beirut.
McLeod:
You want Cross's job? If you get Cross, you get his posting.
Scorpio:
More.
McLeod:
More?
Scorpio:
$25,000.
McLeod:
Where's Cross?
Scorpio:
More.
McLeod:
You run it right to the edge, don't you? What?
Scorpio:
I want to know the reason.
McLeod:
Executive order. You don't question a directive in the Agency, Scorpio.
Scorpio:
I'm not in the Agency until I get Cross. The reason?
McLeod:
He's a face, a double agent. He sold to the opposition and he has a lot more to sell. Do you know where Cross is or don't you?
Scorpio:
I don't. But a man named Zharkov will.

Scorpio - Contractual Ethics in the Underworld
McLeod:
You were supposed to kill Cross at the Paris job.
Scorpio:
No contract.
McLeod:
You took the money. You left the money. Why?
Scorpio:
Cross had his contract in first. I don't play games when the rules are bent.
McLeod:
No one bends them faster than Cross.
Scorpio:
Never with me.
McLeod:
I want Cross. And I want him burned. You know him best. Find him.
Scorpio:
You make too many mistakes.
McLeod:
Like?
Scorpio:
You confuse what you want with what I want.
