Don Eppes quotes from Numb3rs

Some guys like women who can handcuff 'em.

Don Eppes

Can't blame 'em for that.

Charlie Eppes

What do you think we should do now?

Don Eppes

The same thing when I was in school and I didn't know the answer – fake it.

He's showing us what he's capable of.

Don Eppes

Well, now it's our turn.

Don Eppes

I want you to know I don't take for granted what you do.

Charlie Eppes

I never thought you did.

Alan Eppes

Well, it seems like your new math consultant is working out nicely.

Don Eppes

I gotta tell you, dad, I can't think of anyone who could have helped us the way Charlie did in this investigation.

Alan Eppes

You just remember how Charlie is. Can't seem to quit a problem. He's still working on the same one he's had since grade school.

Don Eppes

And what's that?

Alan Eppes

Trying to impress his big brother.

Don Eppes

What'd you do, you opened it? What is with you, man? Even when we were kids, you were always going through my stuff.

Charlie Eppes

You always had cool stuff.

Charlie Eppes

You know, I've been running some numbers from your minor league days. I wanted to see which ones were the best pitches for you to go after.

Don Eppes

Charlie, I don't like to think about it too much, all right?

Charlie Eppes

Why not? If you can analyze your performance, you can improve it, Don.

Don Eppes

Some things are about how it feels.

Don Eppes

Look, what you hear stays in this room.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don Eppes

A truck carrying three casks of this stuff was hijacked this morning.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Oh, that's not optimal.

We're fairly confident that hasn't happened yet.

Don Eppes

You're fairly confident?

Don Eppes

Hey, Charlie.

Charlie Eppes

Hey.

Don Eppes

What's up?

Charlie Eppes

Just grading tests for my non-linear dynamics class.

Don Eppes

Glad to see you're taking my advice and having some fun.

Charlie Eppes

Why do they want pictures of us?

Don Eppes

[yells] He's a famous mathematician!

Charlie Eppes

Don't do that.

Don Eppes

Hey, get your vogue on, Charlie.

Don Eppes

So what does your behavioral science training tell you about a grown man who still lives with his mother?

Megan Reeves

About as much as two brothers still mooching meals at their dad's house three nights a week.

Don Eppes

Who made this?

Charlie Eppes

Me. Why?

Don Eppes

Well, the wings are a bit thin.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

Hey, wait, wait, let me see this.

Charlie Eppes

Forgive me if all my years in advanced applied mathematics take issues with that assessment.

Don Eppes

Well, forgive me if all my years in high school detention say I'm right.

Charlie Eppes

Dad would be so happy if we married a doctor.

Don Eppes

Yeah, well, Dad would be happy if I married someone with a pulse.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

You know, Don, you and I are very alike. We are both focused on large possibly unattainable goals. Me trying to explain the workings of the universe ...

Don Eppes

And what am I doing? Trying to take all those unworkable workings and put them in jail. Yeah, good luck to both of us.
