I haven’t done a fan post on a favourite show in a while….so here goes, I LOVE PSYCH for those of you who don’t know it’s basically about this silly genius, SHAWN, who along with his straight-laced but equally funny best friend, Gus, start a psychic detective agency and work with the police. Shawn’s father Henry and detective Lassister add some great comedy . . . here are some of my favourite quotes:
Carlton Lassiter: I need to get something off my chest.
Shawn Spencer: Is it your shirt? Please say no.
……………
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: Brazilian airport codes. How do you know that?
Shawn Spencer: I lived in an airport for a month, Gus.
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: That was Tom Hanks in The Terminal.
Shawn Spencer: Same difference.
………….
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: I can’t spend the night in the museum. I don’t have my toothbrush, I don’t have my multi-vitamins, and oh yeah, I don’t want my soul suffering eternal damnation for disrupting the sleep of an Egyptian canal digger.
……….
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: Shawn? What the heck are you doing here?
Shawn Spencer: I should ask you the same question.
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: I work here!
Shawn Spencer: I should ask you a different question.
……..
Shawn Spencer: The important thing is that you got your cover story.
Reporter: Actually, it’s page 64.
Shawn Spencer: It really depends on how you fold it, doesn’t it?
……………..
Shawn Spencer: Gus, don’t be a myopic chihuahua. I have a foolproof plan that solves the case and gives the Chief all the credit.
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: What is it?
Shawn Spencer: Actually, all I have is the phrase “I have a foolproof plan.” Beyond that, I’m wide open.
…………………..
Shawn Spencer: Life insurance policy?
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: It doesn’t make any sense.
Shawn Spencer: Tell me about it… Dude, seriously, tell me about it. I have no idea what this means.
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: You never could understand legalese.
Shawn Spencer: Oh, really? Remind me who it was who set up our Psych 401ks?
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: Oh, you mean our 601ks? Because India doesn’t have 401ks.
Shawn Spencer: It’s a growth economy, Gus. We’ve already made like, 500 rupee.
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: That’s thirteen dollars.
……………….
Henry Spencer: [watching Shawn jump up and down because he just figured out the case] Shawn, don’t you *dare* learn a wrong lesson while I’m trying to teach you a right lesson!
……………….
Shawn Spencer: How can you tell that someone’s a compulsive liar? I mean, assuming that their pants aren’t on fire.
……………..
Juliet O’Hara: Detective Lassiter is literally on fire today.
Shawn Spencer: “Literally on fire” as in Michael Jackson in the Pepsi commercial, or as in a misuse of the word “literally?”
…………………
Shawn Spencer: I can’t believe this. You lifted your look right off this mannequin!
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: On the contrary, Shawn. Clearly, someone is stealing my look.
Shawn Spencer: Right… I did see Tommy Hilfiger creeping from bush to bush sketching you.
…………….
Burton ‘Gus’ Guster: What part of “stay put” is confusing to you?
Shawn Spencer: The “put” part. I wasn’t “put” in the first place, Gus. The whole expression is a complete disaster.
………….
Gus : I’m a man of untold mystery. That’s why my friends call me “G.”
Shawn : Ha. That’s funny. I thought they called you “Big-Head Burton.”
Gus : Don’t ever say that name, Shawn. Besides, I know it was you who started that.
Shawn : I’m sorry, Gus; I have a knack for alliteration. I’m a slave to it. Besides, how many words start with a B?
Gus : About a thousand! You could have used, “bold, black, beautiful…”
Shawn : Dude, who would have called you “Black Burton”?
………………
Gus’s Secretary : There’s a “Lieutenant Crunch” here to see you sir.
Gus: “Lieutenant Crunch”?
Shawn: Actually I’ve been promoted. It’s “Caption Crunch” now.
…………….
Shawn : Goooodmorning detectives. Collecting donations for the Policemen’s Ball?
Lassiter : We don’t have “Balls.”
Shawn : I honestly have no response to that.
………….
Shawn : “Luckily, your phone has GPS.”
Gus: “You tracked me?!”
Shawn: “Yes, I did, with a little help from my friends at your wireless service provider. By the way, they might be calling; they think you’re a fugitive from justice. Run with it.”
