Probe Quotes

Austin James: C'mere. C'mere! Look at it! [tosses a charred skull to Mickey, who gasps in horror]
Austin James: That's all that's left of Donald Statheim, an aviator, crashed 1921 while circumnavigating Hudson Bay. Note the object imbedded in the left posterior fontanel. FONTANEL. It's the point of an icepick. Statheim didn't die in the plane crash; he died a minute beforehand when someone drove that into his brain. But who did it? And how? Those who saw Statheim leave on his last flight, they insist he was alone. And if the murderer was aboard the plane, how was he able to survive the crash, and then trek out of the wilderness? Nobody knows. [grabs skull]
Austin James: I'm going to solve it! Motive, method, murder! And I'm going to do it using nothing but this skull.
Michelle Castle: You're crazy! That's impossible!
Austin James: Look at it! The answer's got to be there; some infinitesimal bit of minutiae is just screaming it. And all I need to find it is the power of observation.

Michelle Castle: Okay. Okay, I'm coming!
Austin James: [to himself, out of earshot] It doesn't work out, I can always change the limerick.

TV Show: Probe
Austin James: [a monitor plays a video recording when Mickey tries to gain entry to Austin James' warehouse] There once was a poet named Gunderson, whose rhymes were exceedingly cumbersome. With each botched refrain, his complaint was the same, Blah, blah... blah, blah... blah, blah, blah! You have ten seconds to give me the last line to get in. Otherwise, go away.
Michelle Castle: [frustrated] How do I get into these situations? [to her surprise, the door opens]
