Scorpion, Season 3

Paige Dineen:
What is this?....We're doing the Department of Energy server upgrade today.

Walter O'Brien:
Nope. That job has been postponed indefinitely.

Paige Dineen:
What? I spent weeks landing that contract.

Cabe Gallo:
And Walt spent minutes dismantling it.

Paige Dineen:
Explanation. Now.

Walter O'Brien:
Well, it's quite simple, really. Our point person at the DOE kept saying he was going to pay us a hundred and nine thousand dollars.

Paige Dineen:
Yes, that's what we agreed to. One hundred nine thousand.

Walter O'Brien:
No-o-o that's not what he said.

Happy Quinn:
Here we go.

Walter O'Brien:
He said a hundred AND nine thousand dollars. That's a hundred dollar bill, and nine thousand dollars. That's substantially less than our fee.

Paige Dineen:
For the love of God, Walter, it's an expression.

Walter O'Brien:
"Make haste not waste" is an expression. "A penny for your thoughts" is an expression.

Paige Dineen:
"Not playing with a full deck" is an expression!

Walter O'Brien:
Exactly, but what the DOE rep said was mathematically inaccurate. And I told him. Repeatedly. People don't wanna better themselves?

Paige Dineen:
The irony of that question is completely lost on you, isn't it?
