First the stick, then the carrot.
GusYou don't even know what that means.
Leave me alone.
We made notes for you. Bullet points you might wanna try to hit. Don't show any fear.
Don't split any infinitives.
Don't dangle your participles.
GusAt least not in public.
Just so we're clear, [he holds his hand high]Cops are here. [he holds up his other hand, much further down] Bounty hunters are here. [he moves the first hand directly on top of the second] And psychics are here.
GusDude, we beat out bounty hunters!
By a knuckle.
Where are orthodontists on this list?
The Christmas spirits told me to give this to you.
Oh my goodness, a Daisy Red Ryder! I had one of these when I was a kid. It was the reason I wanted to become a policeman.
Well, Merry Christmas, from me and Gus.
Thanks, guys.
GusHe's gonna shoot his eye out.
Yes he is.
GusThat was amazing. How did you know that?
Uh, the room where I take naps shares a vent with the room where they do the psychological evals. Lassie!
I-I hate snow globes.
Well, that's strange. My psychic senses told me specifically that snow globes didn't give you nightmares about being trapped in a clear ball with snow that burns your skin off. Merry Christmas from me and Gus! [turns to Juliet] Mr. Mittens says it felt just like going to sleep and he doesn't hold it against you at all. Kitty heaven? It's just like East Beach.
That is the best news ever.
GusMerry Christmas, from both Shawn and--
Whoa, whoa, this is a very special gift that's clearly just from me. Don't appropriate. Not at Christmastime.
...
Alright! Who keeps telling people I want snow globes for Christmas?!
GusYou can't get Indian blood from working in a casino, Shawn.
Maybe you can't.
How the hell did you two get in here? You're coming with me.
GusI don't think so!
[flashing badge] BAM! Say it with me: Vis-i-tors baaaadge!
GusDo something. I dare you!
I'll be watching you.
We'll be gettin' watched!
Dude! That rock is sprayed with arterial red!
GusTaste it.
Dude, what is up with that? Every time I cut myself you were like "taste it, lick it, it'll make it feel better."
GusIt will. Taste it.
IT'S NOT MY BLOOD!
Well, at least that gives us the "how". Now we just gotta figure out the "why", which reminds me, Gus, will you please get us those tickets for The Who?
GusWhere?
What the hell are you guys doing here.
GusThis is the part where you get blindsided with Plan B. It's kinda fun when it's not happening to me!
GusHe was a Hollywood guy. Used to write on Blossom. Decided Spanish soap operas were a better reflection of the human condition.
Obviously, he didn't write the Blossom where she adopted a chimp and hit the road in an eighteen-wheeler.
She beat me up.
GusI hardly think there's a woman capable of that!
Bea Arthur?
GusI stand corrected.
Gus[about Shawn's acting in the telenovela] Okay, don't take this the wrong way, but... I think it lacks some passion.
Passion...?
GusYes.
Do you have any idea how many pages we shot today? Eighty-three! And I'm getting by with the Spanish I learned from Charo on Love Boat.
GusBrazilian airport codes. How do you know that?
I lived in an airport for a month, Gus.
GusThat was Tom Hanks in The Terminal!
Same difference.
My God! Did you see who that was?
GusIt's hard to see anything with someone's knee in your eye!
It's your own knee!
GusDo not get up there and start winging it! That's not how we operate.
Dude, where have you been for the last two years?
