Lie to Me · Season 1
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!
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?
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]
Apology accepted.
Right. Thanks.
Lightman's been keeping a file on Burns.
Why?
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?
[to Cal] You're going to get him killed!
Admit it, you want her.
Yes, I do. In the worst possible way.
Nice work in there, by the way. You're one of the best liars I've seen in a long time.
Back at you.
So you're just not in Gillian's life for a bit of the old, you know --
Sex? You can't say the other word, can you?
Love?
You know, you could have died yesterday.
Possibly.
So, you admit you're an idiot.
No, because if I was an idiot, right, I would get into far more mundane trouble for, you know, forgetting your lunch date with your daughter.
It's a good thing you never do that.
Absolutely not, I'm a grown up. [watches as Emily takes a small book from her handbag] Don't tell me you read your Granny's diary. You read your Granny's diary.
And look at this! I am 99.99% yours. You might want to take this test again. There's still a .01% chance that people in the lab were lying.
So I might get lucky, you mean?
[...]
You never really trust anyone, do you? You know that's why you'll always be alone.
I'm not alone. [Emily smiles as she watches Lightman to sit with Foster]
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.
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?
Do you know how to create a disturbed personality? Constant criticism and lack of affection. Works like a charm, that does.
You mean like how you treat Loker?
Who?
Well, science, right, like many other things in life, is open to interpretation.
Oh, please. Not that again.
You like this Rudi fella?
Yeah. He’s nice.
Ah. Well, then, I’m fine.
He’s no Cal Lightman, though.
Oh, mum must be devastated.
Yeah, because she told me what she’s really looking for is another workaholic who’d always know what she was gonna say and would contradict her before she even got the chance to say it, eats beans on toast twice a week, whose wardrobe consists of 15 pairs of the same jeans, jackets, and shirts, and who likes to make fun of any and all authority, even if it’s his ex-wife who lives 1,200 miles away.
Yeah, there’s not many of us about.
I know. It’s a shame.
I shake people up until they lose control and forget to hide their emotions. Not the same as bullying at all.
Every genius has his weakness, genius.
