Eli Loker quotes from Lie to Me

Gillian

Why did you do that?

Loker

You gotta have faith in something and I'm putting mine in you.

Gillian

Thank you.

Cal Lightman

Hey, how'd it go with the suits?

Eli

Well I got us the job, where were you?

Cal Lightman

None of your bloody business. No, I figured your were up for it so... It's probably a gross overestimation on my part.

Eli

Nah, I appreciate the confidence boost.

Cal Lightman

Well selling's the easy part, it's delivering that's the tricky party and that's what you've promised. So you and Torres are on your own, you think you're up for it?

Eli

I've read every major study on group behaviour cover to cover, this is my wheel house.

Cal Lightman

Fascinating, well time'll tell.

Eli

Any other words of inspiration?

Cal Lightman

Yep: We need the money, and don't embarrass me.

Ria

(About Loker chatting online with Emily) Oh, God. What'd you do?

Loker

Nothing... Told her I might be going to Musicfest, too.

Loker

(about her cyberfriends) All right, these guys. Bad idea. Keep your distance.

Emily

Eli, I barely know them.

Loker

Good. Then your distance will be kept because from what I'm reading, these guys are bringing an entire pharmacy to the concert.

Loker

Please try not to judge.

Torres

(surprised) You're cyberfriends with Emily?

Loker

(panicky) Judgment all over your face. Look, she friended me. She's the boss's daughter. What am I supposed to do?

Torres

Hit ignore. [edit]

Cal

I know you were just trying to look out for her, right? And I shouldn't have hit you. I was wrong. Physical violence... right... it's very, very wrong.

Loker

Apology accepted.

Emily

Dad, come on. Don't blow the apology.

Cal

(to Loker) I'm sorry.

Loker

Probably should have seen it coming.

Cal

What, the kiss?

Loker

No, the punch. You're emotional wildfire where Emily's concerned.

Foster

Lightman's been keeping a file on Burns.

Torres

Why?

Loker

Three guesses: Foster, Foster and Foster.
