from "Psych" episode 4x1
Shawn tries to get into a karate class.
Karate instructor: This class is for 5- to 8-year-olds.
Shawn: Yes. Yes it is. And uh.. that’s what I call uh...
Gus: Discrimination.
Instructor: Discrimination?
Gus: Yes. And ageism.
Instructor: Who are you?
Gus: I’m his lawyer.
Shawn: That’s right.
Instructor: You brought a lawyer?
Shawn: I keep a lawyer on retainer at all times. There’s so much injustice in the world that you practically can’t leave home without one, and apparently today it paid off.
Instructor: Right. Okay well I will see you in court, then, now--
Gus: Perfect. Now I’ll need a statement from you, and as we plan to try this in both civil and criminal court, I’ll need the police here as well. Can I use your phone? Or do you only let the white people use that?
Instructor: Who said anything about white people?
Gus: You just did.
Instructor: The words “white” “people” did not come out of my mouth.
Gus: There they are again. Luckily I had my hand recorder on for that one. By the way, I am now disclosing that this conversation is being recorded.
Instructor: Recorded? Okay, this is crazy--
Gus: Crazy? You wanna know crazy? I sued 300 businesses last year alone. I sued a hot-dog cart and got everything but the wheels and the buns, which I won in the civil case two months later.
Shawn (coughs, whispers): Dude. I think he gets it now.
Gus (to Shawn): I know. But the words are coming out of my mouth faster than I can think of them.
Shawn: Bring it home.
Gus (to instructor): Now. If you don’t mind, before I start snapping evidence photos, I’m a little parched. So can you tell me which one of these fountains I’m allowed to use?
(One fountain is a child's, about 3 feet off the ground; the other is adult-height.)
Instructor: That one.
Shawn whistles.
Instructor: I mean, you pick. Sir.

You can kind of tell he’s crazy genius. Well kind of. If you look at him with other people he looks unassuming—oldish, smallish, homelyish. But if you look at HIM, him ALONE, I think you can see it. If you focus, you can capture it—a glint in the eyes,...
