I prefer to get the truth in person, but sometimes you just have to make do.

I'm just saying, you know, you need to stop dwelling in the past. You know, forge on. Fight the good fight.
Where'd you get this crap?
Oprah, mostly.
. . .
You really should try, you know, opening up to me.
Is it Oprah?
Eh, it might be.
Still overcharging the city and everyone else for stuff that's unusable in court?
You still offering my wife unsolicited martial advice?
Ex-wife.
(turns to look at Emily) Ex-wife.
Didn't you used to study suicides?
I still do.
I understand how you feel. If there's anyone to blame for this, I'll find them.
So what, we, uh, we get back in with the Devil's Spawn and we see what she knows?
The 'Devil's Spawn? What is with you on this one?
This pompous douchebag flies around the country on his private jet, he gets people to give him their hard-earned money -- steals it-- and then they act like we are are persecuting him.
Where have you been?
Can I talk to you for a minute?
I'm a little busy right now. I could have used you a couple of hours ago. I called you, I think, twice.
Just a minute. Please?
What? What do you want?
I'm on my way to meet with Carolyn Holland. But I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.
I'm fantastic.
You know, because I can put Holland on hold for a while until things quiet down around here.
No, I told you. I'm fantastic.
You didn't make it to your meeting with the mayor.
I canceled it.
No, actually, you didn't, and it's been on the books for three weeks.
Well, I meant to cancel it.
Cal.
Go mother someone else. Everyone back to work, please.
Yesterday he was watching some video of an old British woman when I walked into his office.
Brown hair? About 40?
Yeah.
Lightman probably spent about a thousand hours watching that film. Her name was Louise Mason. She was a patient of one of Lightman's professors when he was in grad school. She had been in the psych ward about a month when that was recorded. She told the professor she was fine. No one could see she was actually in agony. Lightman finally got the idea to slow down the film and that's when he saw the agony on her face. That's what led him to discover microexpressions in the first place.
Well, I hope they didn't let that woman off the psych ward.
Well, she got a pass home for the weekend and killed herself. They didn't know to look for microexpressions then. Nobody knew they existed.
I just figured that if his daughter was guilty, a man like Holland wouldn't hesitate to eat his young.
Look at a man like he's the devil and you'll never understand his motives.
(to Ria) Just because you can see everything doesn't mean you can understand it.
You shouldn't think about that stuff, love.
What am I supposed to think about?
Celibacy.
(Emily laughs.)
There must be some reason why they killed themselves.
I know you don't want to hear this again, but I'm going to say this to you anyway. It doesn't matter how many you find a reason for. It wasn't your fault.
The worst lies we tell are out of love.
You have to put these people away or they will keep coming back like a cancer. You cannot let them think they can do this and not get punished.
When you're the boss, make whatever call you want.
(Gillian closes the door on Eli. He walks away angrily.)
(About Zoey encouraging her to help Cal) She's a lot more forgiving then I would ever be.
Well she's the mother of my daughter, we've all got things to forgive.
