Larry Fleinhardt quotes from Numb3rs

Don Eppes

You decided that maybe you were too old to be making out in the backseat of a car?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Also ... car ... no backseat.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Actually, I may have before me a problem that cannot be drummed away.

Charlie Eppes

Megan?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

She's ... she's exiting and she's beautiful, and this thing that is between us, it's beginning to affect my work!

Charlie Eppes

What is going on between you two?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

[stresses every single word] I have not the slightest idea!

Charlie Eppes

Well, you never worked well with emotionally uncertainty!

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

You think that's it? You think that a emotional uncertainty lies at the heart of all this?

Charlie Eppes

Really, I'm not as familiar with that side of you.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

[sighs] No ... nor, it seems, am I.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Tighten it.

Charlie Eppes

[slaps Larry's hand] Don't touch it.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Hey. Play nice.

Megan Reeves

Twenty minutes ago I was on the couch, watching Blazing Saddles in my pajamas. This better be good.

Charlie Eppes

Oh, this is better than good.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Your red cowgirl PJs?

Megan Reeves

[grins] Mmm-hmm.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Oh ... [stares into space, apparently contemplating the scene]

Oswald Kittner

Are the numbers supposed to be glowing at some point?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

I have noticed that some expressions have a certain shimmering quality to them.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

I believe that's my copy of the Quarterly Review of Cosmology?

Charlie Eppes

Yeah, it is ...

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Why are we engaged in combat over it?

Charlie Eppes

Are we all so bad down here?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Beauty and fragility of life on Earth, it takes my breath away.

Charlie Eppes

So what's your problem?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

That I will habituate and lose the vision.

Charlie Eppes

You're right.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

About what?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

That page is blank.

Charlie Eppes

Not after I sign it.

Charlie Eppes

I have the willpower of a field mouse!

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

But in that field you are a very popular mouse!

Charlie Eppes

Galactus? That's the guy who ate planets.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Yeah, but he was stellar Darwinism. He was necessary to the survival of the universe.

Charlie Eppes

What?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

He was the third four, along with eternity and death.

Charlie Eppes

Larry, he wanted to eat the Earth.

Charlie Eppes

There is nothing wrong with my driving.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

So the chorus of car horns that follows in your wake ... what is that? A spontaneous phenomenon?

No offense, but if you got to get a FBI bodyguard, why not get that hot one we worked with, Agent Reeves? Pretty sure she was diggin' me!

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

You know, actually, Ray – Agent Reeves – or Megan – and I, we're kind of involved.

[laughs] ... You're serious?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Yeah, I am. And a little less incredulity on your part would be appreciated.

No, Larry, sorry. It's just that how often do women like that get involved with guys like us? Nice going!

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Okay, well – thank you!

David Sinclair

What's the deal with the waffles, man?

Amita Ramanujan

I think it's Charlie's way of saying that your family is whoever you want to eat waffles with.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

That's a worthy sentiment.

Megan Reeves

And one that's even better with syrup.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

When I'm stuck, I've always found the work pattern of a certain Englishman to be inspirational.

Amita Ramanujan

Sir Isaac Newton?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

No, Sherlock Holmes.
