What do you see?
I see an skeptical, emotionally distant scientist obsessing over facial twitches.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
I would not have pegged you for a hoops geek.
You know the fifth-grade boy with the vintage Dr. J poster and the instant recall of his career stats. (Eli nods) I was that boy.
We're not magicians. We're scientists.
Hey, what's up with the mime act?
You ask the questions, I observe.
Dr. Lightman finds asking questions distracting. He prefers to watch.
(Cal is getting handsy with Sergeant Scott.)
Quite a bicep you've got there. You must really love the weight room, huh? I don't normally mix business with pleasure, but... wow. And, I was wondering you fancy grabbing a drink later?
SSSergeant Scott
Ahh, I'm not gay. And isn't this a little inappropriate?
Absolutely.
SSSergeant Scott
Right. Excuse me.
What the hell was that?
I love a man in uniform, you know?
You really think a woman would lie about rape?
Unpleasant truths, human mortality, mustache on a woman... three things we'd all prefer to ignore.
(Ria smirks slightly at Cal.)
You know, generally, it's not a good idea to call your boss an idiot.
I didn't say you were an idiot.
Yeah, but your buccinator did. Oh, that's a pretty impressive combination of contempt and disgust.
(backs up against the wall) I-- I-- I--
Apology accepted.
. . .
(Ria is told that Seagrent Scott may have raped someone else in the platoon. She doesn't say anything.)
Ahh, your buccinator is playing up again.
It's not-- I didn't say..
Oh, look, now you're embarrassed. Well, you have every reason to be. You did get it wrong, didn't you? I mean, Sergeant Scott didn't rape Sheila Lake.
Cal!
Look, she's the one making snide remarks. Look at her face.
How do people work here?
. . .
(Gillian glares at Cal.)
(stares back) What? Oh, now you're starting on me? Don't say something you'll regret.
(Gillian glares as she exits the room)
I saw that.
Anybody else want a side of feces? Anybody? Side of feces?
Why is guys named White are always black and guys named Black are always white?
Am I going to sorry you're here?
Barry White. Jack Black.
Does your radical honesty pledge mean you have to say everything you think?
It's the only way to be truly honest.
Let's turn it off while we're working, shall we?
(Gillian indicates another sound wave from Taft and Eli plays it.)
That is when Taft met you. See how the graph is all scrunched up? It indicated arousal. Apparently the pine is not the only thing our aging jock wanted to ride.
(A group of women in uniform enter another room.)
(over the intercom) Ladies, if you'll wait in there, I will be taking you in one at a time.
Playing out your favorite fantasies, Loker?
Studying the psychological influence of uniforms on credibility. Lightman wanted to see how they effect people's ability to spot lies.
Women in uniforms?
(smiling) I do love my work.
How's it going with Lightman?
Ah, he's not my biggest fan.
Well, that's just 'cause you're uneducated.
Excuse me?
Well, you're a natural. The few naturals Lightman's come across have one thing in common: no college degree. You haven't been asked to focus on verbal skills, so you focus on body language.
You're saying I can't learn the science?
I'm saying you didn't have to. It's got to be irritating for a guy who's spent two decades trying to see what you were born seeing.
Thanks. That's very un-Loker of you.
I've never been with a Latina woman.
Don't push it.
(talking about a basketball case) How's it going with the ball player?
Ball players play baseball.
(Cal and Gillian are watching a video of an athlete being interviewed.)
Why is he secretly angry?
I spot the liars. You're the feelings department.
