Numb3rs2005

Charlie Eppes:
[Larry has been waxing philosophical] Is that the kind of stuff you talk about with Megan at lunch?

Don Eppes:
[Don and Dad are surprised; Larry looks at Charlie, who grins mischievously] Wait, ho-ho-hold on. You and Megan went out to lunch?

Alan Eppes:
Oh, please tell me you ordered something other than white food. [the Eppes men laugh]

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt:
[trying to maintain some dignity] This was a meal shared by two inquisitive minds in an intellectual pursuit.

Charlie Eppes:
[grinning bigger] Of course it was, like all your lunches with David. Oh, and with Colby.

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt:
[matter-of-factly] A gamma ray burst will release more energy in ten seconds than the sun will emit in its entire ten-billion-year lifespan.

Don Eppes:
I got it, what's the Hulk's real name?

Charlie Eppes:
Um, Bruce Banner.

Don Eppes:
That's right. I mean, didn't gamma rays turn him into the Hulk?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt:
[still matter-of-factly] They come from the furthest ends of the universe, and after 45 years, we're still uncertain of their origin. [turns to leave]

Alan Eppes:
And?

Dr. Larry Fleinhardt:
[pointedly matter-of-fact] And we're closer to an answer on *that* than the three of you are ever going to get on *this*. [smirks slightly, and closes the door behind him]
