Dr. Henry Deacon: Well, you’ve got a lot of great stuff in here.  It just deserves our respect.
Dr. Douglas Fargo: The dumpster’s down the hall to the left.
Henry: Dumpster? No, No, No. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter [looking at a MAD silo] Yeah, that can’t be good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: Okay, okay, this ion beam thingy, that is what exactly?
Dr. Henry Deacon: Irradiated uranium isotopes.
Dr. Douglas Fargo: Oh, God!
Jack: Oh, death ray.  Why don’t you just say death ray?
Henry: I’ve searched your entire database. There’s not one single record of silos, or irradiated isotopes, or ionosphere particle beams.
Jack: Try death ray?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: I’m looking for a retired scientist.
Eugenia Biddle: Swing a cat.
Jack: A Dr. Thatcher?
Eugenia: Irvin? Room 101. But why do you want…? [Carter leaves quickly]
Zoe Carter: Wait for it.
Jack [returning]: Hey! Room 101, that would be…?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Irvin Thatcher: The question remains fusion or fission. Fission? Certainly not. I haven’t been fishin’ since I lived on Lake Erie. You think that’s eerie? How do you explain quasar energy paradox? Or baldness amoung musicians? Hmmm?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Henry Deacon: These locking bolts, are they some kind of proprietary threading?
Dr. Irvin Thatcher: Reverse the hex.
Henry: Excuse me?
Irvin: If you want sex, reverse the hex.
Dr. Nathan Stark: Sheriff, at any point when you picked him up, the car ride, the long walk down here, happen to notice this guy’s not all there?
Jack: Yeah, there may have been signs.
Irvin: Righty loosey, lefty tighty.
Henry: Got it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MAD Machine: Weapon will deploye in 20 hours.
Dr. Nathan Stark: Do it.
MAD Machine: Lauch code override initiated. Weapon will deploy in 7 hours.
Nathan: Let’s not cut any more wires.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deputy Jo Lupo: We’ve got everything under control. [MAD silo opens] Except for that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Nathan Stark [shouts after several attempts]: Henry, how’s the drilling going?
Dr. Henry Deacon: This laser bombardment drill cuts through quartz like butter! I should be done in what, uh, 5 hours.
MAD Machine: Weapon will deploy in 4 hours.
Nathan: Drill faster.
Henry: Yeah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Nathan Stark [after Carter breaks the glass on the display case and borrows his Nobel]: I miss Sheriff Cobb.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Nathan Stark [after Eugenia cracks her knuckles to use the computer]: Oh, for the love of God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter [looking at the bigger MAD silo]: Not good. Very not good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Irvin Thatcher [speaking of using Carter’s Jeep as a remaining device]: I think desperate times call for desperate measures.

Dr. Allison Carter: Carter? Whatcha doing?
Sheriff Jack Carter: I’m the sheriff. I’m sheriffing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Allison Carter: So strip. We’ll just do the physical here.
Dr. Jack Carter: Excuse me?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: No.  There’ll be no pant dropping without a nice dinner and many, many cocktails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: Gotta go. Protect and serve. [leaving]
Deputy Jo Lupo: Wait for it.
Jack [returning]: Where am I going exactly?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Carl Carlson: Every molecule of my life has been erased.
HR counselor: That’s our goal. Have a good day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Carl Carlson: I irritate you. I irritate everybody, it’ not surprising. I’m irritating.

Vincent: Roasted jalapeno maize kernals with demiglaze, get ’em while they’re steamy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deputy Jo Lupo: What’s wrong with you people? Turn it down!
Spencer Martin: What? Why?
Jo: The neighbors are complaining about the noise.
Spencer: Which neighbors?
Jo: The state of Idaho. Turn it down!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Henry Deacon: It’s a little difficult to breath with you camped out on my diaphragm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Henry Deacon: Tell me this wasn’t filled with weapons.
Sheriff Jack Carter: No. No, it wasn’t.
Henry: You’re lying to me aren’t you?
Jack: Oh, big time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Nathan Stark: Our tests have confirmed that it’s terrestrial in origin. We just can’t figure out who created it.
Congressman Arnold Faraday: Oh, my God.
Nathan: That’s one theory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Jim Taggart: Who is it?
Sheriff Jack Carter: It’s Carter. I’m unarmed. Open the door.
Taggart: And, ah…, What is this in reference to?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Allison Blake: So, everybody’s ok?
Sheriff Jack Carter: Oh, no, they’re freaking bug nuts.

Sheriff Jack Carter: What’s next? They’re going to classify the contents of my fridge, my underwear drawer?
Dr. Allison Blake: You think agents of a foreign government would be after your underwear?
Jack: Maybe. I can be pretty up when I want to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deputy Jo Lupo: It’s called a senior moment. Soon you’ll be driving with just that one right blinker going nonstop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Henry Deacon: I can put that under a UV scope.  It’ll high… [watching Jack color on the ticket with the side of a pencil] Or you could just draw over it. Same thing.

Deputy Jo Lupo: Carter, this is a town full of scientist. Everyone knows there’s no such thing as ghosts.
Susan Perkins: Where’s Walter?
Sheriff Jack Carter: [looking at Susan Perkins who was just buried] Um… You were saying?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: It’s not like we have a standard form to undead you.
Deputy Jo Lupo: clears throat
Jack: Tell me you’re kidding.
Jo: 924 slash B. In triplicate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Allison Blake: But we’re still going to need to do some digging.
Sheriff Jack Carter:  Awww… You mean I gotta go back to the…
Allison: Yes.
Jack: Well, someone’s gotta get me a cor…
Allison: That’s right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: [watching Henry putting his Coronor tag on his overalls]
 County Coronor, huh?
Dr. Henry Deacon: Board certified.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Henry Deacon [after Jack told him to pull the batteries from his Omniversal Remote]: Batteries. Now why didn’t I think of that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Douglas Fargo: Um… You might want to be careful with this. It’s a portable generator.
Sheriff Jack Carter: So?
Fargo: A fission-powered portable generator.
Jack: Ok. Don’t sleep on the nuclear powered device. Good safety tip.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter [after seeing the outside of SARAH]: I’m going back to my cell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dr. Douglas Fargo: Bathroom.
Sheriff Jack Carter: Oh, Fargo, you gotta get yourself a girlfriend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter [after being left alone with SARAH]: I’m a human guinea pig.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Susan Perkins: Yes! I am Susan Perkins. Back from the grave. Everyone take a good look.
Dr. Allison Carter: Ah. You feel better now?
Susan: Yeah, a little.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: Do ghosts have frequencies?
Dr. Henry Deacon: Oh. We’re gonna need a bigger battery.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: I gotta fill out a report on this anyway, and I still don’t know how to spell corporeal, so…
Dr. Henry Deacon: C-O-R-P-O-R-E-A-L.

When someone tells you something defies description, you can be pretty sure he’s going to have a go at it anyway.

This continuity error has a valid reason behind it.  The error is when Brian and Nanuk are in the RV and Nanuk is growling at the break down in the laws of physics.  In the wide shot you can see both Nanuk and Brian, but in the close up of Nanuk you can only see the dog, but should be able to see Brian’s shoulder.  They were in close proximity.  The reason Brian isn’t in the shot is safety.  You don’t want a child that close to a snarling dog.  Even if it is just acting.

Marshal Jack Carter: Let’s not shoot the crazy-end-of-the-world machine just yet okay?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marshal Jack Carter: You’ve had problems before.
Dr. Allison Blake: Ocassionally.
Jack: Like?
Allison: Global Warming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheriff Jack Carter: Not the promotion you were hoping for. No big deal. You can do this Jack.

Notice that, just after Marshal Carter follows Lowjack through the forrest before Taggart shoots Carter with the dart gun, when Carter raises his hand as he’s saying “This is the creepiest this I…” he’s got the dart in his hand.

Trivia time.  In Purple Haze, after the Sheriff breaks up the fight between Fargo and Seth Osbourne Fargo says to his beta fish “Warren, tonight we sleep like King’s.”  This is a reference to the Pilot episode.  Warren King was the head of Global Dynamics.

Look at the logo for GD in the pilot, it’s a rounded GD, but in the episodes it’s triangular.  And they have that cool lit sign in front of the building.
