Bull
Thursdays 10:00 PM on CBSBull Season 2 Quotes
Bull: What is it, exactly, that he pulled off?
Flanagan: What do you mean. I think that's pretty clear. He hacked into our air traffic control system and nearly brought down two jetliners.
Bull: Yeah, I know. I've been thinking about that. I've read all of the interviews with the air traffic controllers and it sounded like he had everything right where he wanted it. Those two planes were seconds from colliding and then…
Benny: They didn't.
Flanagan: What's your point?
Bull: It's always helpful to have motive and it's hard to find motive in an act that seems like it could have happened but then just didn't.

Bull: A trial is a lot like an approaching storm. You know it's coming, you pull together appropriate provisions, you board up the house, but you still have to ride it out and hope it isn't any stronger than you thought or last any longer than you expected. Anything can happen. What?
Donovan: Please, I have weather insurance. I have Jason Bull.
Donovan: You know as well as I do just because someone goes to a gun range doesn't mean they're planning to shoot someone.
Bull: A depressive with PTSD and impulse control issues isn't just someone.
Thoughts and actions are two different things. That's why the professional standard in a case like this is for the psychologist to determine if there is a serious and imminent threat.
Benny
