Scorpion, Season 1

Answering machine begins to record a message.

Paige Dineen:
Oh no. [runs downstairs to stop recording]

Toby Curtis:
What the hell was that all about?

Paige Dineen:
Nothing. An acquaintance.

Toby Curtis:
You don't sprint downstairs for an acquaintance.

Happy Quinn:
Who's Drew?

Paige Dineen:
Old friend.

Toby Curtis:
Bump from acquaintance to old friend in 3 seconds. Interesting.

Paige Dineen:
Look, it's really not important.

Toby Curtis:
You just put your hand on your stomach. It's a conscious protection marker where you once carried a child.

Walter O'Brien:
Is Drew Ralph's father?

Sylvester Dodd:
I didn't know Ralph had a father.

Happy Quinn:
How exactly do you think babies are made?

Sylvester Dodd:
You know what I mean.

Paige Dineen:
Not that it's any of your business, but Ralph's dad is a minor-league baseball player and--

Toby Curtis:
Great, a jock!

Paige Dineen:
--we bounced around a lot, team to team, and we agreed Ralph should have some stability. We settled in L.A. and Drew was gonna come out after a season. He got a job pitching in Mexico, then Tampa, and you can fill in the rest.

Walter O'Brien:
How long has it been since he's seen Ralph?

Paige Dineen:
Seven years.

Toby Curtis:
Oh that's great. Father of the year. Excuse me, seven years.
