Cabe Gallo quotes from Scorpion

Cabe Gallo

Well, you know what they say. Good, fast, polite--pick two.

Cabe Gallo

Men don't talk about their medals.

Cabe Gallo

On behalf of the United States Government, I am hereby commandeering this Super Fun Guy balloon.

Toby Curtis

We're gonna get a little un-PC up in here. Traditional bomber profile means we lose Asians and Latinos. Cut anyone over 60 and under 12.

That's not how this software's meant to operate.

Toby Curtis

Explosives are traditionally a boys' club so let's lose the women. And anyone not wearing a hat or sunglasses. Alright! Now, who's ready for a little hustle and flow?

Cabe Gallo

What's that?

Toby Curtis

Flow dynamics. Study of herd think, actions and reactions. When one gazelle's ears perk up, so do all the others', and they all run from the cheetah with the same urgency. Ah! [points to screen] That guy in the hat and sunglasses. White male, 30s: fits domestic-terrorist MO. See, he's calm 'cause he knows no other bombs are gonna go off.

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.

Cabe Gallo

If my life is in the hands of this Collins guy, I need to know if you're hiding something.

Walter O'Brien

Three years ago I had him committed to an asylum.

Cabe Gallo

Fantastic.

Cabe Gallo

Hey listen, kid, if this doesn't work out, I'm glad I got to know you.

Walter O'Brien

OK.

Sylvester Dodd

A man gives you what could be his last good-bye and you say "OK"?!

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!

Cabe Gallo

I'm amazed that geniuses can even get duped.

Walter O'Brien

Easily. We become so focused that we lose peripheral vision, and it's on the outskirts where ulterior motives lie.

Sylvester Dodd

Geniuses state facts, so we assume others state facts, too.

Walter O'Brien

If you become ostracized from an early age for being different, or if someone targets you because they have something to gain, you don't see their motives until it's too late. After awhile, it starts to affect your core self. You trust no one, you grow up to be distant.

Happy Quinn

Like Walter.

Walter O'Brien

Or scared of your own shadow.

Sylvester Dodd

Like me.

Walter O'Brien

Angry.

Happy Quinn

Present.

Walter O'Brien

Or a condescending jerk.

Like Toby.

What's that?

Sylvester Dodd

That is Proton Arnold.

Cabe Gallo

Unplug it.

Sylvester Dodd

OK.

I think what Cabe means to say is, "I told my ex-wife what a great team I work with, smartest I'll ever meet."

Paige Dineen

You're a Cabe Whisperer! I do the same for them.

Gallo. You look the same as you did seven years ago. Not a compliment.

Cabe Gallo

Nothing worse than getting an insult from a lady. Thank God it's coming from you.

Toby Curtis

That's nice. Witty banter. It's my favorite kind of banter.

Happy Quinn

Who's gonna be Marvin?

Cabe Gallo

Well, Interpol's still doing a background on Sima, but there's no question she's probably dangerous. So I'll do it.

Walter O'Brien

No, you're Homeland, you're former FBI. She could have intel on our agents. We can't risk her ID'ing you.

Toby Curtis

Sylvester can't do it, he's a nervous wreck, he'd barf all over her.

Sylvester Dodd

I would.

Toby Curtis

I guess I'll have to do it. I just hope she doesn't fall in love with me, too.

Cabe Gallo

No. Intel indicates that she probably works alone, but we can't be too careful. We need someone to profile the crowd in that bar and make sure she has no collaborators.

Paige Dineen

So we're down to Walter? Am I the only person who just heard that phone call?

Walter O'Brien

Oh, I learned a lot from that exchange!

Paige Dineen

After hearing your performance on the phone, you're gonna need help. I'll be your Cyrano.

Walter O'Brien

The story of the guy with rhinophyma, the large nose disease.

Paige Dineen

You missed the whole love story?!

Walter O'Brien

I was focused on his medical condition.

Cabe Gallo

Hey! How come a bunch of geniuses can't answer a phone?!

Sylvester Dodd

I don't carry my phone on me. Radiation.

Happy Quinn

I was welding.

Paige Dineen

Mine's in my bag.

Walter O'Brien

Couldn't hear it over the rocket.

Cabe Gallo

Of course. And what about you, Doc?

Toby Curtis

I keep mine off; I owe a bookie.

Cabe Gallo

We have to prevent these guys from transmitting any communications from this ranch....We can't let 'em know we muzzled 'em.

Walter O'Brien

They won't. They'll think their messages are being received because Sylvester will respond, posing as their associates.

Sylvester Dodd

Remember back at the garage when I said I was uncomfortable with deception?

Walter O'Brien

Uh huh.

Cabe Gallo

Uh huh.

Happy Quinn

Mm hmm.

Sylvester Dodd

Still uncomfortable.

Cabe Gallo

You kept [the ferret]?

Walter O'Brien

It saved my life. Least I could do was save it from becoming a snake's lunch. Toby named it Ferret Bueller. I don't understand the reference.
