Zoe Carter quotes from Eureka

Zoe

(about seeing Beverly) Actually, my Dad’s making me go here. Apparently I have "issues" with "authority" and "listening" and... I don’t know, other stuff. I wasn’t really paying attention, so...

Zoe

[during her graduation speech] Thank you for making me and my dad a part of your family. I promise to do my share of the chores, and I'll try not to blow up the world if you don't.

Zoe

Frozen girl! Hugs!

Zoe Carter

Listen-- dog.

Jack Carter

No, you listen, home girl--

Zoe

[pointing] No, dog!

Zoe

What if you don't make it back? I'll be stuck in here like those guys in the plane who had to eat each other.

You're right.

Zoe

I know.

Here. Here's some ketchup. Start at your feet, work your way up.

Deputy, where is the sheriff?

Jo Lupo

Can't you see I'm busy?

Ummm... Honestly?

Jo

You wanna know where the sheriff is? He's out on police business. Which is where I should be, instead of babysitting Felon Spice here.

Zoe

Hey!

Jo

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna stop doing your job, and start doing mine.

What're you doing out of your cell?

Zoe

I'm getting take-out for me and Jo. Turns out we have a lot in common.

Like what?

Zoe

Like fighting an oppressive patriarchal society to express our feminine power.

Zoe

I was up all night reading Shakespeare!

Uh-huh. You're really into the school play, huh?

Zoe

Yeah, you know, um, I think drama club is really helping me find myself... emotionally. Um, I feel like I'm really starting to fit in.

How many classes do you get to skip for rehearsal?

Zoe

Last period every day, including geometry. Love drama.

Put the gun down, Dylan.

Why? So I can go to jail for the rest of my life?

Zoe

Damn straight!

Not helping!

This is obstruction of justice.

Zoe

How do you figure?

You’re making me late for work.

Zoe

The school's completely out of control. Kids in fights, making out in the hallways, teachers apathetic.

So, more like normal school, then.

Zoe

Exactly.

Jo

Maybe it was just a one time thing. You know. Adrenaline. Heat of the moment.

Zoe

Making out with Taggart? More like a moment of insanity.

Jo

Not so loud. Look, I really need some outside perspective here. Please?

Zoe

You want perspective?

Jo

Uh-huh.

Zoe

You hooked up with a guy whose age difference with you is the same as me and my dad.

Jo

(Looks over at Taggart. Taggart waves. Jo waves back.) That did it.

Lucas

Clearly Jasper thinks you're hot, but not smart enough to be his partner. [Zoe looks offended] In my opinion he's an idiot. [pauses] No one usually asks my opinion.

Does everyone have a partner?

Zoe

[Looks around frantically] Well, it looks like we're stuck together.

Lucas

Welcome to my world. It's quiet, but it has its advantages.

Zoe

Like what?

Lucas

Kidding, no advantages.

Zoe

I'm Zoe.

Lucas

I know. I'm Lucas, we have three classes together.

Zoe

Really?

Lucas

Story of my life.

Zoe

I'm not hot.

Lucas

Now you're just fishing for compliments.
