I really liked React to Contact and wanted to do my weekly Lie to Me picspam earlier, but real life got too much in the way. I finished the pictures yesterday, but then it came to me that today is 4th of July and how fitting it would be to post this today with the reference of Emily's "Whoa, 4th of July!" line.
So happy 4th of July to everyone who celebrate it and to everyone who don't! Enjoy! ♥
Jeff: Colonel said he'd call you in, says you can see if I'm lying.
Gillian: You won't let people get close to you.
Jeff: I don't want to talk about it.
Cal: You seem more ashamed than you are proud.
Jeff: I told you -
Cal: Yeah, I know, you don't want to talk about it. Which is wy we're going to go back.
Jeff: Back where?
Cal: Back to the root of the problem.
Gillian: The truth is the only way to help him recover. [she leaves]
Ria: So this is Foster's pet project, huh? Virtual reality.
Loker: Yep, Foster got a DOD grant to build this prototype. You know, they say truth is the first casualty of war. Foster thinks virtual reality can change that.
Cal: What, you're a coward now, are you? Are you scared?
Jeff: You calling me a coward captain?
Cal: Who you calling a captain, sergeant?
Captain Renshaw: Every officer reads Dr. Lightman's book. In Iraq we used his facereading techniques to help identify insurgents. I can't tell you how many soldiers he helped save.
Cal: What are you doing here?
Emily: Nothing. I, uh... I got you a cactus.
Cal: Why?
Emily: Why not?
Cal: What have you done?
Emily: I haven't done anything. I just... it... it reminded me of you.
Ria: Well, if you want my read he's telling the truth. Thet's the kind of guy I'd follow into war.
Gillian: That's because he was flirting with you the entire time.
Ria: Well, it gave me a baseline.
Gillian: This is a guy who's deploying back to the war in 3 days. His voice, the pride in it? He's hiding something.
Cal: Are you scared of your dad?
Jake: How do you know?
Cal: Well, I was a boy once, you know.
Ria: Is there something going on between you and Ronnie?
Becky: Ronnie's very special to us. We're very lucky to have him around, particularly with what's going on.
Ria: Yeah. You said no, but what you were actually doing was nodding yes.
Gillian: She never actually said no. Did you, Becky?
...
Ria: So there's nothing more than that between you two?
Gillian: No. There's not. Not yet.
Gillian: What about Jeff? How does he feel about the captain?
Cal: Not much?
Gillian: What else are you hiding from us?
Ronnie: My gun's missing.
Cal: Well he's in there.
...
Cal: That looks like a man who knows how to fight dirty.
Gillian: Well, it takes one to know one. I'm going to go stall him at the front door.
Cal: Well, that's a good idea.
Cal: Put the gun down, Jeff.
Jeff: Lightman, you are way out of your depth.
Cal: Absolutely.
...
Cal: What happened behind the red door?
Captain Renshaw: What happened over there stays over there.
Gillian: Jeff, enough! He doesn't have a gun.
...
Cal: Put the gun down.
Cal: Look, you're running out of options. Either kick the door down or you're raising your kid from the looney bin!
Cal: All right, you're afraid. That's good, 'cause that means you're there.
Jeff: React to Contact. It's what we train for.
...
Cal: It's a kid.
Jeff: I was looking right down the barrel of his gun.
...
Cal: Did you kill him?
Jeff: They train you for everything, they don't train you for that.
Cal: What you just told me was a lie.
Captain Renshaw: I thought the point of therapy was to put the day behind him.
Cal: Oh, what, you're a psychiatrist in your spare time, eh? Neither am I. [points at Gillian] She is, however.
Captain Renshaw: Turley's gotten worse since you've been in his life.
Cal: I have to agree. He's completely unstable.
Gillian: Lightman has that effect on people.
Cal: [points at Gillian] Try being her.
Jeff: That's when the kid came through with the AK.
Cal: Right. Gillian, be the kid. Go on. Heels off, make yourself shorter. You know, shouldn't be too difficult. Ok, so you see the kid. Then what happens, Jeff?
Jeff: I killed him.
Cal: You killed him? Is that before or after Ronnie becomes a cyclops?
Jeff: I didn't kill the kid. I froze. I froze.
Cal: All right. Foster, point at Ronnie. Go on.
Cal: Well, say "bang".
Gillian: Bang.
Cal: All right, brilliant.
Cal: In the report it doesn't say anything about Jeff freezing. You wrote the report up, captain.
Gillian: Why'd you leave that out?
Captain Renshaw: His best frien got hurt as a direct result of his inaction.
Cal: [turns to Gillian] You see that, right?
Gillian: Defensive posture.
Cal: Yeah. Defensive of... yourself?
Jeff: I saw something.
...
Cal: You saw something else?
Jeff: Yeah. I saw someone else.
Jeff: Friendly fire.
Cal: Your report was fiction captain. You killed one of your own men. Game over.
...
Cal: Who called in the air strike? Captain? I wonder.
...
Captain Renshaw: Friendly fire isn't a crime.
Gillian: But covering up friendly fire with an air strike-
Cal: -that... that's a war crime.
Jeff: I wanted to honor him somehow.
Cal: Well, you've done that. Saved Ronnie's life, got a silver star. Well done, mate.
Jeff: Got something better than that last night.
Cal: Oh, yeah?
Jeff: A good night's sleep.
Emily: Brains are ugly.
Cal: That's mine brain, that is.
Emily: Oh. Well, you have a very handsome brain.
Cal: Thank you very much. Ok, you see this area here? That is supposed to be love.
Emily: Aww, when you look at a picture of me?
Cal: Hmm, yeah, aww.
Cal: There.
Emily: Ok, now Foster. Whoa, 4th of July!
Cal: Oh, yeah. Shepherd's pie.
Cal: That's your granddad, that is.
Emily: And this you?
Cal: Yep. He was a soldier.
Emily: You never told me that.
Cal: You never asked. He didn't talk about it much.
Emily: You know, I'm curious about him.
Cal: Yeah, me too.
