Paige Dineen quotes from Scorpion

Paige Dineen

You're the world's smartest computer guy and this comes down to plugging something in?

Paige Dineen

Secrets breed mistrust.

Paige Dineen

My people are smarter than your people....You don't want to wake up tomorrow knowing you could have saved 13 people who died because you followed the rules.

Paige Dineen

Guys? I'm gonna need help opening an offshore account.

Paige Dineen

That's your plan?! You want me to punch a shark in the nose?!

Sylvester Dodd

Screw this up, brains and guts are gonna ignite all over town!

Happy Quinn

Actually, fuel tanks ignite on impact. You won't find a body part.

Toby Curtis

Mmm, blood-soaked spleen could burn at a slower rate.

Paige Dineen

Hey! Please check your language around my 9-year-old.

Paige Dineen

Who the hell are you to tell me that my polish looks cheap? That hurts my feelings. Do you understand?

Walter O'Brien

Yeah, I recognize that. I've been told things like that a lot.

Paige Dineen

And my polish streaks because Ralph does it. He loves to paint. And don't tell me that he needs help, either. He's challenged. Have some empathy.

Walter O'Brien

Challenged, huh? Look at Sylvester and him. Do you know what they're doing? The matches are the king, jelly's the queen, the sugar packets are the knights. He's playing chess. With a grandmaster. Who's about to lose.

Sylvester Dodd

Walter, do you see this? Checkmate in 8 moves! This kid is amazing.

Walter O'Brien

He doesn't like to paint your nails. He does it because he wants to hold your hand, but he can't process physical contact. So help him, or he will never connect with you. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your son is a genius.

Paige Dineen

Hey, seriously, what's wrong?

Walter O'Brien

I'm fine... So is Ralph, by the way. He hacked the thermometer, recallibrated the digital display.

Paige Dineen

He did what?!

Walter O'Brien

He hates school.

Walter O'Brien

Any dreams you have of [Ralph] making a team or being in student council, it's just, uh, not gonna happen.

Paige Dineen

I thought you told me he'd eventually fit in.

Walter O'Brien

He will. Just not in school.

Exactly what are you looking for?

Toby Curtis

If we explained it to you, your mind would melt into your socks.

Cabe Gallo

It's official government business, just give us some room.

Toby Curtis

Normals, huh? [looks at Paige] No offense.

Paige Dineen

None taken.

Sylvester Dodd

Galactic has the greatest superhero pantheon in this or any other universe, including my personal favorite, Super Fun Guy. [aside] I'm getting there, Walter, I'm getting there. [to team] They manufacture these little masterpieces using state-of-the-art, cutting-edge 3D printers and scanners. They have everything one would need to create the perfect forgery. The forger must work there. And he is so...lucky!

Sylvester Dodd

OK guys! Come on, let's go!

Toby Curtis

Never seen him move so fast.

Sylvester Dodd

OK Cabe, I'm gonna go with you.

Cabe Gallo

You're all staying here and that's an order. I'll be back in 10 minutes.

Paige Dineen

He's been waiting for this his whole life.

Cabe Gallo

Well, then he should be used to it. I don't need a bunch of geniuses to help me detain an unarmed artist.

Sylvester Dodd

Well, can you at least get me a Super Fun Guy T-shirt? He's really fun. Cabe, he's really fun!

Paige Dineen

Oh no. [runs downstairs to stop recording]

Toby Curtis

What the hell was that all about?

Paige Dineen

Nothing. An acquaintance.

Toby Curtis

You don't sprint downstairs for an acquaintance.

Happy Quinn

Who's Drew?

Paige Dineen

Old friend.

Toby Curtis

Bump from acquaintance to old friend in 3 seconds. Interesting.

Paige Dineen

Look, it's really not important.

Toby Curtis

You just put your hand on your stomach. It's a conscious protection marker where you once carried a child.

Walter O'Brien

Is Drew Ralph's father?

Sylvester Dodd

I didn't know Ralph had a father.

Happy Quinn

How exactly do you think babies are made?

Sylvester Dodd

You know what I mean.

Paige Dineen

Not that it's any of your business, but Ralph's dad is a minor-league baseball player and--

Toby Curtis

Great, a jock!

Paige Dineen

--we bounced around a lot, team to team, and we agreed Ralph should have some stability. We settled in L.A. and Drew was gonna come out after a season. He got a job pitching in Mexico, then Tampa, and you can fill in the rest.

Walter O'Brien

How long has it been since he's seen Ralph?

Paige Dineen

Seven years.

Toby Curtis

Oh that's great. Father of the year. Excuse me, seven years.

Toby Curtis

Hey, you want to know if he's a good guy? Watch him eat fruit. He digs into the flesh with his fingernails, it's a primordial sign of aggression. But if he peels it in one long curl, that is a planner.

Sylvester Dodd

He's right. I'm very gentle with plums.

Walter O'Brien

Guys, we are not giving him fruit.

Paige Dineen

Thank you.

Walter O'Brien

I can just hack his credit info, see what he's been up to, is he any risk to Ralph--

Paige Dineen

Absolutely not!

Sylvester Dodd

Ahem. Would your guest like some fruit?

Drew Baker

Excuse me?

Paige Dineen

He's fine! We don't want fruit!

Toby Curtis

Come on, Babe Ruth, take a peach.

Drew Baker

No, thank you.

Paige Dineen

What do you remember about your father?

Ralph Dineen

He was tall. He liked his toast burnt. And he left to see a movie.

Paige Dineen

What?

Ralph Dineen

When we left for L.A., he said he'd catch up with us later, he was just going to see a movie. There were 12 theaters within 20 miles of our home, 48 screens, 227 showings, average runtime 112 minutes. Maybe he just wanted to stay and see more movies.
