Jack Carter quotes from Eureka

Carter

Nobody's blaming you.

Zane

I'm blaming you.

Nineteen tests, that's nineteen victories for the Viper, nineteen loses for me. I finally win, everyone's mad at me.

Carter

Nobody's mad at you.

Zane

I'm mad at you.

Jo

We rule.

Carter

We so don't rule.

Allison

Can the two of you get along for five minutes?

Not likely.

Carter

Pompous jackass... How can anyone be attracted to Stark?

Jo

Besides the ruggedly handsome, successful powerful thing, I--

Carter

Thanks, Jo.

Well, if you have any words of wisdom, like "Don't start World War 3", now's the time.

(After Zoe's speech to Martha) And don't start World War 3.

Zoe

Right, and that.

Where the lunatics are running the asylum?

Carter

I used to think the same thing. But, uh, they're not lunatics. They're, they're not all luna—there's a fine line between genius and crazy...

Okay, lab 27 is a sealed biosphere. A self-sustaining ecosystem designed to research and support the Mars missions.

Carter

You do mean the potential Mars missions?

Right! [laughs, then gets a small headshake from Allison] I mean, right.

Allison

(Being sterlized to enter biosphere) Not the way I'd ever pictured us winding up naked.

Carter

You pictured us winding up naked?

Allison

No.

Zane

Carter, Henry, and Stark. That's your money team. They know exactly what they're doing.

Stark

You're sure you know what you're doing?

Carter

I have no idea.

Allison

A pocket of magma developed spontaneously? That's impossible.

Did "impossible" cover my friend with mucus?

Carter

He's got a point.

Stress is America's number one health problem.

Carter

Aw, drop dead.

Followed closely by sarcasm.

Stark

Shut up, Carter, there was no earthquake. I need a favor.

Carter

And that's how you ask? WHO RAISED YOU!?!

Allison

We're sinking zero-balance P-wave detectors all along the ridge.

Stark

I re-tasked the geo satellites to look for ground deformations.

Carter

Sounds good! What's all that gonna tell us?

Stark

Nothing. We just like sounding smart.

Zoe

Dad, you're walking the woman you possibly love down the aisle to marry another guy.

Okay first, not true. And second, since when do you and I talk about this stuff?

Zoe

Since I'm seventeen and you're in denial.

Carter

So just listen and don't call me-

Stark

Crazy?

Carter

That's not listening.
