Cabe Gallo quotes from Scorpion

Paige Dineen

What is this?....We're doing the Department of Energy server upgrade today.

Walter O'Brien

Nope. That job has been postponed indefinitely.

Paige Dineen

What? I spent weeks landing that contract.

Cabe Gallo

And Walt spent minutes dismantling it.

Paige Dineen

Explanation. Now.

Walter O'Brien

Well, it's quite simple, really. Our point person at the DOE kept saying he was going to pay us a hundred and nine thousand dollars.

Paige Dineen

Yes, that's what we agreed to. One hundred nine thousand.

Walter O'Brien

No-o-o that's not what he said.

Happy Quinn

Here we go.

Walter O'Brien

He said a hundred AND nine thousand dollars. That's a hundred dollar bill, and nine thousand dollars. That's substantially less than our fee.

Paige Dineen

For the love of God, Walter, it's an expression.

Walter O'Brien

"Make haste not waste" is an expression. "A penny for your thoughts" is an expression.

Paige Dineen

"Not playing with a full deck" is an expression!

Walter O'Brien

Exactly, but what the DOE rep said was mathematically inaccurate. And I told him. Repeatedly. People don't wanna better themselves?

Paige Dineen

The irony of that question is completely lost on you, isn't it?

Cabe Gallo

OK, one of you get online and win your way into that tournament. [no one moves] What's the hold up?

Walter O'Brien

We don't play chess.

Toby Curtis

Not anymore.

Cabe Gallo

Why the hell not?!

Paige Dineen

Why are we looking at a coat hook?

Toby Curtis

That is not a coat hook; that is a coat rook. Wound up in this wall five years ago.

Walter O'Brien

After a week-long chess tournament.

Sylvester Dodd

A tournament that went horribly wrong.

Paige Dineen

You threw a rook in the wall?

Walter O'Brien

Wasn't me.

Toby Curtis

Nope.

Sylvester Dodd

It was a three-way tie for points! I was about to engage a masterful attack: the bishop's gambit. But then Walter sneezed on my knight.

Walter O'Brien

It was an accident.

Sylvester Dodd

J'accuse! My knight was covered in your mucus. The one piece I needed just happened to be the one you doused with your filth.

Walter O'Brien

One, I do not have the ability to aim my mucus. Two, you could have cleaned it off.

Sylvester Dodd

Not without touching it! I played half the game with a dead pony!

Toby Curtis

At checkmate, Sly whipped this rook at Walt's head.

Cabe Gallo

Not a half-bad arm.

Sylvester Dodd

It was unbecoming.

Walter O'Brien

So we vowed never to play the game again for the sake of the team, and our friendship.

Toby Curtis

Spiked punch! Just like a real prom.

Cabe Gallo

Like you'd know.

Paige Dineen

Don't drink the punch, Ralph.
