Numb3rs2005

Alan Eppes:
Aren't you going to introduce me to your girlfriend?

Charlie Eppes:
You've met her before, she's not my girlfriend, I'm her thesis advisor.

Alan Eppes:
Does that mean she can't be your girlfriend?

Charlie Eppes:
It's, uh, it's against the rules.

Alan Eppes:
Well, screw the rules. What's more important, learning or love? Well, I'm sure there's no rule against the father of her thesis advisor asking her out.

Charlie Eppes:
Go for it, go right ahead, be my guest.

Amita Ramanujan:
Thank you. Actually, I'm spoken for, Mr. Eppes.

Alan Eppes:
Oh, really?

Amita Ramanujan:
Back in Madras, my parents arranged for marriage to a family friend, a nice Hindu banker from Goa.

Charlie Eppes:
Really? Getting married?

Amita Ramanujan:
God, no, he's a total ass.

Alan Eppes:
Oh.

Charlie Eppes:
Dad, you're, like, hovering over us, and we have so much work to do.

Alan Eppes:
I thought you already helped your brother out on this case.

Charlie Eppes:
Something this complex needed to be checked and rechecked.

Alan Eppes:
There's one thing you and your brother have in common: On some things, you're both very thorough; other stuff, you completely miss.
