Eureka · Season 1
I was up all night reading Shakespeare!
Uh-huh. You're really into the school play, huh?
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?
Last period every day, including geometry. Love drama.
My mom used to make my costumes.
You used to do theater?
Believe it or not, Carter, I didn't have childhood dreams of becoming a commando.
So you went from being told to break a leg, to actually breaking them?
We're being Puck-ed with.
You're argument is so strong it's almost petty of me to ask: how?
He's got a thing.
A thing
Yeah. A-a-a gizmo, a device. Has to be a device.
Do you have a piece of device-oriented evidence?
I figured it all out. I know what you're up to.
In regards to...?
I know that you have a device that can...create a wormhole, or, uh, bend time, or make you invisible...or a wormholing, time-bending, invisibling device, that shields you from the mind.
Yes, he said "invisibling".
[Carter struggles with Jason Anderson, though the others manage to pull him back.]
[points] There. That's the device that invades your mind.
It also starts my car. [shows ordinary car-keys]
[The group's watching a very loud movie.]
(screaming) What's wrong with you people?! Turn it down!
What? Why?
Your neighbors are complaining about the noise.
Which neighbors?
The state of Idaho! Turn. It. Down.
Vinnie, get Jo a beer.
I'm on duty.
I can respect that. Like it to go?
Wow. I mean, that is like...
Unbelievable. Yet... believable.
Definitely.
Like being there.
Oh man, I've gotta go. Hey, you guys keep it down, okay?
We'll walk you out. You know, in case of alien invasion. Strength in numbers.
Right.
Henry, You don't believe in aliens, do you?
No, I believe in Occam's Razor. It’s the basis for methodological reductionism.
... Oh, Yeah. So... still dizzy...
Okay, so, given two equally predictive theories, you choose the one that has fewer assumptions. So, a tree falls after a storm. The first hypothesis holds that the tree was blown over by the storm. The second - rival hypothesis - claims that the storm forced an alien spaceship to cash into the tree. See?
Y-no.
Okay, who gave Fargo a gun?
So everybody's okay?
Oh no... they're freaking bug nuts! (to soldier) Restraints now!
You’re not Sheriff Cobb.
Ah, no. Sheriff Cobb retired. I took his place. (awkward pause) There was a town meeting, and, uh, uh, everything. I gave a speech.
I don’t get out much.
Yeah, I’m gathering.
But since I’m here, what is your emergency, exactly?
I have to get to work.
You called 911 to bum a ride?
Vincent! A beer.
Okay. But you don't drink alcohol and I don't serve you anymore since you brought in the health inspector.
There was a fly in my soup.
You sensed a fly in your soup.
I may have overreacted.
[about Carter] Yes... he said invincibly.
