Awake 1x9

Game Day

& Dr. Evans: Certainly I’ll be watching. The pageantry*, the struggle, the victory and defeat. A sport is a link to our tribal past.

& Rex: Who said this was about a girl?
    Michael: Nobody lies in bed all day listening to depressing music because they have a stomach cramp. I’m a Detective. I know when people are lying.

& Rex: How do I give her one of those polygraph things?
    Michael: Well... Giving your ex-girlfriend a polygraph is not one of your better ideas.

& Rex: You said you could tell... When someone’s lying. How do you do it?
    Michael: Son...
    Rex: Seriously, how do you know?
    Michael: Well... Liars tend to, uh, stiffen up*. You know, their body language, their arms and feet become, their movements become minimal. They cross their arms or they... Touch their nose or their throat. They’ll avoid eye contact. They generally get defensive. You know, if you’re telling the truth you’re on the offensive.

& Michael: H-hold on. W-wait a second. Before you go off conducting an interrogation into a breakup, can I ask you... What do you hope to find?

& Michael: What do you do for a job, George?
    George: I’m an investment banker.
    Freeman: No wonder our country’s going in the toilet. Our people of high finance are painting themselves green.

& Michael: I want to ask you a question, and it might be completely... Inappropriate. Are you... by any chance...
    Emma: H-how did you know?

& Hannah: What’s going on?
    Michael: There’s something we need to talk about.
