“Pilot” quotes from Eureka

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.

Carter

How long've you been in the tow business?

Henry Deacon

Oh, I don't do this for a living, I do this for fun! I just always liked fixing things. I was, uh, an engineer, back in the day.

Carter

As in trains?

Henry

Space shuttles.

Will your wife be joining you?

Carter

My wife? Oh, umm. [holds up hand with ring] Not likely. We're separated.

Was it the sex?

Carter

Excuse me?

Well, it's a common problem in long term relationships. People get bored, they want to experiment sexually, and they don't know how to express their needs.

Carter

Well, not that sharing my sex life with a total stranger doesn't sound like loads of fun, uh, at the moment my needs are a nap and a shower.

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.
