Ria: You have an incredible story.
Farida: Thank you.
Ria: I mean, everything you've done.
Eli: Changing the world through peaceful resistance. You're like Gandhi. Except you don't look like a malnourished old man.
Farida: You're too kind.

Eli: She wanted to sign my book. I think we had a connection.
Ria: Oh yeah. I guess Ugandan women can't resist a guy with a girly drink.

(to Gillian) You know, you were very good back there, with Mrs. Burch. Very nurturing. Maybe you should get a puppy. I could talk to Obama's people.

Hughs: It's been two hours. You think we can trust that pervert?

Farida: Do you bring all your dates here?

NASA Director Schaumburg: We're the Federal Government. We record everything.

Cal: (to Ria) Oh look, now you're embarrassed. Well you have every reason to be. You did get it wrong didn't you? Sergeant Scott didn't rape Sheila Lake.
Gillian: Cal!
Cal: She's the one making snide remarks. Look at her face.
Ria: How do people work here?

(to Gillian) No, no, you don't want the muffins here. They're terrible. They taste like sofa cushions with the moldy nuts your grandmother used to keep in a little jar.

Lie to Me Season 1 Quotes

Weil: You haven't done enough muck-raking for one day?
