_{EPISODE GUIDE}

Smart Alec

Blair: Look at her shapes; look at her curves. She's beautiful. She's perfect.

Jim: You see, that's where we differ, Chief. Those are adjectives that I had reserved for something more female, something more human.

Blair: Jim, we're talking a 12th century Mayan urn from the city of Chichen Itza.

Jim: Looks like a vase that my Aunt Jean had on her counter.

Simon: Ellison! There's been an accident over at the university. And I want you handle it.

Blair: And you figure since I work on campus that Jim'll have the inside track.

Simon: No. His name was next on the roster. Look, the head of campus security will meet you at the scene. I'm sure Sandburg will be able to point out who he is with his inside track and all.

Blair: I'm sure he's a nice kid.

Buckner: He's a brat. He's headstrong, stubborn, utterly convinced he is the only soul on earth who has a clue. In short exactly like, uh...

Blair: Like me when I first got here and you were my faculty advisor? So, I guess what goes around comes around, huh?

Buckner: Oh, I'd prefer to think of it as repaying a debt.

Blair: Can't I just default on a loan or something?

Simon: Jim, help me out a minute here. So far, we have two murders, poisonous spiders, a Mayan urn, a mysterious cylinder, and a teenage genius. I mean, this whole thing is really beginning to bug me.

Jim: You didn't just say that, sir, did you?

Alec: I've got it. You've also developed a virus to kill it. So you unleash the bug, then sell the virus. The farmers will have to pay whatever you want because you're the only ones with the solution.

Carlin: Smart kid.

Alec: I try.

Carlin: Think about this, genius. If I had any doubts about killing you before, they're gone now.

Blair: How the hell did you do that arachnid study with this phobia?

Alec: My shrink said it would help, but it didn't.

Jim: It was a good game, boys. Why don't you hit the showers?

Blair: That's funny, Jim, real funny.
