Quotes 

• J.T. Forbes : Tell me again why this time it's going to be different. I've been bait for bad guys before and it never went well for me. Kidnapped, beaten up, hung from the ceiling, twice. Any of this ringing a bell?

  Captain Tess Vargas : J.T., that's all in the past, okay? Except now, if you get your ass kicked, it's in front of your ex-girlfriend.

  J.T. Forbes : Very funny. You know, maybe I should get my coffee to go.

  Captain Tess Vargas : Uh... joke, okay? Relax. I've got unis in the front and the back. If this so-called "Dr. Paretti" turns out to be another vicious bounty hunter looking for intel on Vincent, I've got you covered.

  J.T. Forbes : Weirdly, that doesn't make me feel better.

  Captain Tess Vargas : Look, just chill out. Look for anybody who looks like a killer.

  J.T. Forbes : [scoffs]  I don't even know what a killer looks like.

  [takes sip of coffee] 

  Dr. Paretti : [beautiful young woman enters, short blue summer dress, black high-heeled court shoes]  Excuse me, are you J.T. Forbes?

  [J.T. is too surprised to say a word, and she holds out her hand] 

  Dr. Paretti : Aline Paretti, bio-technology at Tanirushi. I've read all of your research. I'm so excited to meet you!

  [giggles as he shakes her hand] 

  J.T. Forbes : I'm excited, too.

  [girl chuckles again] 

  Captain Tess Vargas : [mutters by herself]  I said "killer" not "killer body."

  [speaking into wire:] 

  Captain Tess Vargas : Okay, can you get out of there? This is clearly a trap.

  J.T. Forbes : This is an unexpected surprise. I mean, I, I... wasn't expecting someone so... young.

  [Tess looks at them very annoyed] 

  J.T. Forbes : But just to be clear, Dr. Pretty...

  Dr. Paretti : Paretti.

  J.T. Forbes : Right. Is this an actual job interview? Uh, I'd hate to waste time if... Tanirushi and... you aren't really interested in me.

  Dr. Paretti : Professor Forbes, your thesis on cytokine fusion proteins is exactly what Tanirushi is looking for.

  [Tess glances over at them impatiently] 

  Dr. Paretti : "Interested" is an understatement.

  J.T. Forbes : [with laughter in his voice]  Fantastic. Please, have a seat.

  [Aline sits down, as Tess watches] 

  J.T. Forbes : So... tell me how you see our future together. And talk slow.

  [both laugh] 

• Heather Chandler : [the Channel 10 TV News van ground to a halt]  I guess Grace Rose is gonna have to do a report on the weather instead. I hear it's raining bananas.

  J.T. Forbes : You stuck bananas up Grace Rose's tail pipe? Where did you learn that? Beverly Hills Cop?

  Heather Chandler : Never heard of it.

  J.T. Forbes : A classic movie starring Eddie Murphy?

  [she just shrugs] 

  J.T. Forbes : He was the Donkey in Shrek. You know what? Forget it. Wherever you got the idea, it was a good one.

  Heather Chandler : Just trying to help.

  [munches on last banana she had left of Vincent's refugee lunch]
