Colby Granger[to Ian Edgerton] "What are you doing here?"
"I caught up with an escaped convict in Riverside, tonight I fly out of LAX to Oslo, fugitive stockbroker."
Colby Granger"So you came down here to taunt us with your lack of availability?"
In a world where mathematicians go mano a mano with a killer.
Colby GrangerThis time it's personal.
It sounds like they created a classic game theory scenario, doesn't it?
Yes, it does. "Johnny von Neumann", the old three man gunfight.
Colby GrangerA mathematical gunfight, huh?
Imagine a duel between three people. Now, I'm the worst shot. I hit the target once every three tries.
[Indicates Charlie]
One of my opponents is better. Hits it twice every three shots.
[Indicates Colby]
The third guy is a dead shot. He never misses. Now, each gets one shot. As the worst, I go first. Then Charlie, then Colby. Who do I aim for, for my one shot?
Colby GrangerI guess me 'cause I'm the biggest danger, right?
[makes a gun shooting motion toward Charlie] I shoot Eppsey first, but not for the obvious reasons. Chances are two to one I'm going to miss.
And now it's my turn. Logic says I shoot Colby. [makes shooting motion toward Colby]
Colby GrangerRight, 'cause if I'm still standing, I'm gonna shoot you, and I don't miss.
Exactly.
As the worst, I use the two better shooters against each other.
Colby GrangerI seem like a roast beef kind of guy to you?
I won't discuss another man's meat.
Colby Granger[about the way David is handling Liz] You better hope you don't have a daughter.
What are you talking about?
Colby GrangerImagine how you're gonna be, when she turns sixteen!
[about Charlie] He's working on a theory.
Colby GrangerSerial killer, and nobody noticed but him.
How'd he figured?
Colby GrangerSignals from deep space?
Colby GrangerThis er... dead Jack in the box, his name is Greg Berlin.
That's our best lead. Let's get on it then?
We could, but I'm pretty sure it's a dead end.
[about Nikki predicting where to find a body before] Here we go again, 'The Amazing Nikki'.
Zombie with a gun, waiting for words that will never come!
Colby GrangerYou mentioned that already. In the car, during processing and in the elevator.
You know, in some circles I'm considered very funny.
Colby GrangerFBI circles?
Colby GrangerWhy do I feel like I'm in a Scooby-Doo cartoon?
Jinkies, Fred, I don't know.
There's two things you got to understand about me, Granger. Number one, I didn't kill Costello.
Colby GrangerAnd two?
There's no way I'm going to jail.
Colby GrangerI hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're already here.
[about old bills] There are four in one bag. Do you guys realise what the odds are here?
Colby GrangerNo, but I'm guessing we're about to find out.
[after getting shot at through their car] I wanna get my hands on that guy.
Colby GrangerNever mind that guy. I wanna get that gun.
"At the request of the bride and groom, I’ll keep my remarks short and not technical. Well, as you all know, the four fundamental forces of physics: electromagnetism, strong nuclear interaction, weak nuclear interaction, and gravity."
Colby Granger"So I wonder what the technical version sounds like?"
"I heard that. We’ve been talking here about the forces that bind the universe. But what binds humans? Love. Powerful in small spaces, yet with profound effect on distance. Love defies time, outliving both its source, and its object. Love is faster than light, for light requires time in order to travel through space. But love reaches its object instantaneously. Love journeys forever, into infinity. And it’s here, binding together two lives. Can we have the rings? Symbolic of eternity, and rendered in a beautiful element. Amita Ramanujan, do you take Charles Edward Eppes to be your husband?
"Yes, I do."
"Charles Edward Eppes, do you take Amita Ramanujan to be your wife?"
"I do."
"I pronounce you: husband and wife."
