Numb3rs 2x02

Bettor or Worse

Season 2, Episode 2

* Larry: Hey, Charlie, have you ever considered our place in the universe?
   Charlie: Certainly every time we speak.
   Larry: More to the point. You know, galaxies are constantly moving away from us and the farther away they are the faster they're leaving us behind.
   Charlie: This is more to what point again?
   Larry: Amita, Charlie.
   Charlie: Oh
   Larry: No, wait.. wait, wait. As you let that opportunity drift away it moves faster, and it moves farther.
   Charlie: It's more complicated than that.
   Larry: And no matter how complicated the shape and structure of a large star. You... you take away the nuclear fuel it becomes what? A black hole.
   Charlie: Mixing cosmic metaphors again are we?

* Larry: The morose and pensive expression of the romantically confounded.
   Charlie: You know, it wasn't like I was thrilled when our date bombed out. You know, I can accept the fact that we're not compatible. You experiment. It doesn't work, you move on.
   Larry: Yeah, a cornerstone of scientific inquiry.
   Charlie: Right, but... thing is is, like... When we're working together we talk and we laugh. And there's an energy. And I don't understand why that doesn't work outside the office. Why don't we have anything else to talk about?
   Larry: You know, you're making an underlying assumption here that I question.
   Charlie: What's that?
   Larry: That there's something else you have to talk about. See, where you see two people unable to talk about politics or movies... I see two extraordinary minds that can communicate on the purest level a man and woman can interface on. Okay, second purest.
