Numb3rs · Season 2
[Talking about a girl with interest in Don]
You know, that term "dark matter" has always perplexed me. It fallaciously implies that the 95% of our universe that cannot be observed is some amorphous, eventless emptiness.
I'm sorry?
I guess it's all too human. Instead of admitting to the present limits of our knowledge, we just declare things to be unknowable.
We all use math every day: to predict weather, to tell time, to handle money. Math is more than formulas or equations; it's logic, it's rationality, it's using your mind to solve the biggest mysteries we know.
Until we find dead bodies, this is still a search and rescue.
[challenging Charlie to a game of air hockey] My physics versus your geometry.
Why do they want pictures of us?
[yells] He's a famous mathematician!
Don't do that.
Hey, get your vogue on, Charlie.
It's from someone who says she's a fan of my work. She's also a fan of my ... hair.
You know, this isn't the first love letter I've ever received. When I published my first article in the American Journal of Mathematics, I was invited to spend the weekend at a bed and breakfast in Santa Barbara.
Did you go?
Ah, I was fourteen. My mother had to break the news to a very embarassed female professor at Berkeley.
Agent Sinclair, you just happen to be talking to two card-carrying members of the North American Sundial Society.
Let the good times roll.
It's a white-collar fraud case. Nobody expected Martha Stewart to go down in a hail of bullets.
[to bodyguards] I'm assuming you all have permits for those bulges in your jackets?
[to Don] My hope for grandchildren has been rekindled!
(Talking about a dispute between Larry and Ivan Tsgorski over a paper)
Larry, I was there when he gave that paper. And you stood up and called him a big fat cheater in front of a room full of people.
Well, no. Now, you're exaggerating. That room could not have been more than half full.
You assulted a federal agent with a deadly weapon.
It was a Volkswagen.
So what does your behavioral science training tell you about a grown man who still lives with his mother?
About as much as two brothers still mooching meals at their dad's house three nights a week.
Hey, hey, don't get all Fleinhardt on me. It's just the Physics Department Paper Airplane contest.
Fleinhardt? Since when did my last name become a predicate adjective?
Since your students started using it that way.
