Cal & Emily moments rocks

Emily: Would you ever lie to protect me?
Cal: You’d never put me in that position.
Emily: That’s a deflection, and a little naive, by the way.
Cal: You see, you’ve been spending far too much time hanging around in my office.
Emily: Just answer the question, please.
Cal: I’d lie my ass off to protect you.
Emily: Me, too.

Lie To Me s2x21 - Darkness and Light

Fold Equity

Ria: So I’m leaving work early, maybe get a pedicure on the way home.
Eli: It’s good we’re not in Vegas.
Ria: Oh, I can catch up on my reading.
Eli: I have a date tonight.
Ria: Oh.
Eli: A third date.
Doug: Come on.
Eli: Sorry, Doug.
Ria: With a girl? A human girl?
Eli: Oh, ha ha. You’re so… not funny. Foster’s sent us a video file to score.
Ria: Oh, one file shouldn’t take too long.
Eli: Oh, no.

Lightman: Congratulations. Once again, you’ve arrived at the foreign destination of “none of your damn business”.
Torres: Man, I don’t get you.
Lightman: Good. Stop trying.
Torres: Fine, pretend you don’t give a damn of what’s going on with her; I know you do.
Lightman: Sit down. Look, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s different when you’re one of us. Everybody has things they don’t wish to share.
Torres: But she’s your friend!
Lightman: You’re not listening to me. In this workplace, in everything that we see, we have to be very clear on the rules.
Torres: You and Foster have rules?
Lightman: If there’s something she wants tell me, she will. Everything else—everything else I see—I ignore. I trust her to take care of herself.
Torres: Wow. Where did you get religion?

Most of the time lying is bad, right? Even if you think you’re doing it for a good reason. Trust me: life’s a lot easier if you learn to tell the truth.

No Butt

Lightman: There is no bomb in that trailer.
Steel: If you’re wrong, it’s your ass.
Lightman: Well, if I’m wrong, in five minutes, I won’t have an ass, will I?

Black Friday II

Cal: You want to tell me how we went from a 7-figure payday to nothing?
Loker: It wasn’t an ideal outcome…
Cal: No, it wasn’t. We can barely keep our heads above water. You decide to go ahead and sabotage a potential elephant account. I mean, what did you do? You put in 40 full hours on this? And then there’s Torres’s time? You have any idea where that’s coming from?
Loker: Your pocket.
Cal: Bloody right, my pocket! You promised me you’d deliver.
Loker: Shifting blame from the guilty party… That wouldn’t have been the truth.
Cal: You see, that choice… That choice… That’s how you make your contribution to this firm. We could go dark, for all I care. We follow the truth here. Right? No matter the cost to our egos or our wallets.
Loker: So, if I’d have taken the money…
Cal: I would have sacked you.
Loker: Hey, can I get one of those “attaboy” speeches from yesterday?
Cal: I’ve run out.
