Amita Ramanujan quotes from Numb3rs

Amita Ramanujan

When you get married in India you marry the entire family.

David Sinclair

Somebody should tell Don.

Amita Ramanujan

Tal Feigenbaum is easily as good a hacker as Augie.

Charlie Eppes

Yeah, he's probably trying to ... decode the backdoor, too.

Don Eppes

You know, what if he's not trying to hack Augie? I mean, what if he's trying to find him?

Amita Ramanujan

IRC. Internet Relay Chat. It's how hackers talk when they don't want to be overheard.

Charlie Eppes

It's a pretty primitive chat program.

Amita Ramanujan

Think of it like shipping channels in the ocean. You can't see them until a boat cuts through the water leaving a wake. If two boats meet in the middle of the ocean to swap a load of illegal drugs, you have to catch them in real time, otherwise there's no evidence of the meeting left behind.

Charlie Eppes

No names, no accounts, no records of exchange.

Don Eppes

Well, how do they see each other?

Amita Ramanujan

Online names.

Don Eppes

Okay, so what, we've got "the_fist", and, and ... what's Augie's?

Amita Ramanujan

[points at the website] "00zemeister". I'll set up an alarm to alert us if either name enters an IRC channel.

Don Eppes

Can we see what they're saying?

Amita Ramanujan

In leetspeak. Luckily, I speak leet.

Charlie Eppes

That's so hot!

Charlie Eppes

All right, Feigenbaum's online!

Nikki Betancourt

I'll get Don.

Charlie Eppes

What are they saying?

Amita Ramanujan

Okay. "I've got a surprise for you." "Funny, got one for you, too."

Don Eppes

You got a trace?

Charlie Eppes

Yeah, but they're probably bouncing around a hundred IPs. I mean, they'll be offline before we get a location.

Amita Ramanujan

"We should meet." "Ha ha. Touch my system and it will eat your young." Okay, that was Augie.

Don Eppes

Okay, so Feigenbaum wants to meet.

Charlie Eppes

Augie's rewriting his code.

Amita Ramanujan

Hey, you guys, wait. This is going to be over in a second.

Nikki Betancourt

Can we get a screenshot?

Amita Ramanujan

Got it!

Alan Eppes

I'm a traditionalist. I like to get my news like a human being.

Amita Ramanujan

Yeah, I've seen the human being that gives this report. She makes Pamela Anderson look like a refugee.

Alan Eppes

I know, but she reads beautifully.

Amita Ramanujan

You know, I've been thinking about what Buckley said... about honeymooning in Costa Rica.

Charlie Eppes

Depending on the time of year, lots of rain.

Amita Ramanujan

We'll bring umbrellas.

Charlie Eppes

Scorpions! They got scorpions down there that sleep in peoples shoes.

Amita Ramanujan

So we'll wear sandals.

Charlie Eppes

Very long flight.

Amita Ramanujan

Not if we take separate planes. [Don enters]

Amita Ramanujan

What do you think about Costa Rica?

Don Eppes

Ahm, I don't know. I hear they've got a lot of scorpions.

David Sinclair

[on stakeout with the team] So are you saying, we're here on a hunch?

Charlie Eppes

I wouldn't call it a hunch. It's a...

Amita Ramanujan

[whispers] An induction.

Charlie Eppes

It's an induction!

David Sinclair

So this whole stakeout here is based on evidence that basically guarantees we're gonna fail?

Amita Ramanujan

[after the TV gets blank] Ahm, Charlie!

Charlie Eppes

What?

Amita Ramanujan

The TV!

Ah, it's the cable, there's a... there's an intermittent where it hooks up in the garage.

Amita Ramanujan

I know.

Charlie Eppes

[sees the face she makes] I'll go fix it.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

"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?"

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

"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?

Amita Ramanujan

"Yes, I do."

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

"Charles Edward Eppes, do you take Amita Ramanujan to be your wife?"

"I do."

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt

"I pronounce you: husband and wife."
