What is it they say about time and it being of the essence?
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
Secrets breed mistrust.
If my life is in the hands of this Collins guy, I need to know if you're hiding something.
[pause]
Three years ago I had him committed to an asylum.
Fantastic.
Hey listen, kid, if this doesn't work out, I'm glad I got to know you.
OK.
A man gives you what could be his last good-bye and you say "OK"?!
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!
...
OK guys! Come on, let's go!
Never seen him move so fast.
[later, when the team arrives at Galactic Toys]
OK Cabe, I'm gonna go with you.
You're all staying here and that's an order. I'll be back in 10 minutes.
He's been waiting for this his whole life.
Well, then he should be used to it. I don't need a bunch of geniuses to help me detain an unarmed artist.
Well, can you at least get me a Super Fun Guy T-shirt? He's really fun. Cabe, he's really fun!
All artists want the same thingː recognition.

Safe to say this is when the mission went from the frying pan into the fryer.
Safe to say anything you want, unless it pisses me off.
Answering machine begins to record a message.
Oh no. [runs downstairs to stop recording]
What the hell was that all about?
Nothing. An acquaintance.
You don't sprint downstairs for an acquaintance.
Who's Drew?
Old friend.
Bump from acquaintance to old friend in 3 seconds. Interesting.
Look, it's really not important.
You just put your hand on your stomach. It's a conscious protection marker where you once carried a child.
Is Drew Ralph's father?
I didn't know Ralph had a father.
How exactly do you think babies are made?
You know what I mean.
Not that it's any of your business, but Ralph's dad is a minor-league baseball player and--
Great, a jock!
--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.
How long has it been since he's seen Ralph?
Seven years.
Oh that's great. Father of the year. Excuse me, seven years.
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.
He's right. I'm very gentle with plums.
Guys, we are not giving him fruit.
Thank you.
I can just hack his credit info, see what he's been up to, is he any risk to Ralph--
Absolutely not!
I'm amazed that geniuses can even get duped.
Easily. We become so focused that we lose peripheral vision, and it's on the outskirts where ulterior motives lie.
Geniuses state facts, so we assume others state facts, too.
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.
Like Walter.
Or scared of your own shadow.
Like me.
Angry.
Present.
Or a condescending jerk.
SDSylvester Dodd/Happy Quinn
Like Toby.
Ahem. Would your guest like some fruit?
Excuse me?
He's fine! We don't want fruit!
Come on, Babe Ruth, take a peach.
No, thank you.
I know I've said this before, but not good.
What do you remember about your father?
He was tall. He liked his toast burnt. And he left to see a movie.
What?
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.
Walter has ordered a Proton Arnold arcade game as a surprise for the team.
I used to crush that game. What was your high score?
Oh, I don't know. At a certain point, the counter resets.
RBRebecca Burns
What's that?
That is Proton Arnold.
Unplug it.
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."
You're a Cabe Whisperer! I do the same for them.
