Dr. Gillian Foster quotes from Lie to Me

Gillian

Back to you and Clara.

Cal

Really?

Gillian

Well, she's up to something and I want to make sure you're not compromised.

Cal

No, no, it was just a bit of fun between us.

Gillian

It was a little bit more than that.

Cal

Were you there?

Gillian

I'm talking about from her perspective.

Cal

You know I can read faces, don't you?

Gillian

Did I say incredible? I meant impossible.

Cal

Thank you very much.

[after waitress sets plate on table] What do you call that? Stupid on a plate? [waitress leaves, Foster and her boyfriend, Dave Burns, walk in] Hi! Long night, Gillian?

Foster

What are you doing here, Cal? I thought you hated this place.

It's the best breakfast in town, this one!

Foster

You don't even eat breakfast.

A man can change.

Foster

So you're not here to pry, then?

What, me? Pry? On you, in here? Never.

I get it. You're cross at me, but I was doing the right thing! You know, I was looking at Burns, but not behind your back!

Foster

Which, by the way, only makes it worse.

Dr. Lightman, this ship's leaving.

[waves him off and turns back to Foster] Woop-tee-do. No more secrets, right?

Foster

Prove it.

You know my mum's birthday, right? All right, you know what I'm talking about. And, you know. [motions to his face so Foster can see how he feels]

Foster

Apology accepted.

Right. Thanks.

Foster

Lightman's been keeping a file on Burns.

Torres

Why?

Loker

Three guesses: Foster, Foster and Foster.

What's your game? Are you jealous?

That's a deflection, that is.

Deflection?

Yeah.

You can't stand me being around Gillian.

Look, mate, this is not about her.

Your feelings for her are the only reason you're here! You want the truth? Be honest!

You killed him, right?

Foster

[to Cal] You're going to get him killed!

Admit it, you want her.

Yes, I do. In the worst possible way.

The Lightman Group was built on my sweat. I don’t see anyone else’s name on the door, nor on my book jacket, for that matter.

Foster

The one you haven’t written?

You mess with my finances again, you and I are through. Now, you’re the language expert. Can you tell me, do I mean that?

Well, science, right, like many other things in life, is open to interpretation.

Foster

Oh, please. Not that again.
