Scorpion, Season 1

Happy is trying to talk her way past the marina gate in order to inspect a blown-up boat.

Happy Quinn:
Agent Gallo, Homeland Security.

Marina Guard:
What kind of name is Cabe?

[pause]

Happy Quinn:
It's 'Cah-beh.' My mother's Korean.

Marina Guard:
Oh, sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.

Happy Quinn:
No one ever does.

Toby Curtis:
[on comms] This is perfect. Now he's feeling guilty and self-conscious. Drop a little civics lesson.

Happy Quinn:
I'm here to do the DHS inspection.

Marina Guard:
Inspectors were already here.

Happy Quinn:
Local PD was, not us. A congressman died. Homeland's involved.

Toby Curtis:
This is perfect, now he's feeling stupid. You've got him right where you want him, now make him insecure.

Happy Quinn:
I have work to do, so should I call your supervisor or mine?

Toby Curtis:
And shoulders will be slouching in 3... 2... 1.

Guard's shoulders drop; he sighs and opens the gate.

Toby Curtis:
This is like fish in a barrel.

Happy Quinn:
Good talk.
