Edgerton is, well, edgy. Sometimes he makes me smile, sometimes his know-it-all attitude annoys me, and yet other times he scares me just a little bit because, you just can never know with him, right? Here are my three favorite Edgerton moments from the series. Because I’m more of a Don, Charlie, Don/Charlie fan than an Edgerton fan, my favorite moments revolve around Edgerton’s interaction with the Eppes boys.

---

Title: Sniper Zero: Edgerton and The Professor
Scene: The first meeting between Charlie and Edgerton

Edgerton: But yours was a good guess, too.
Charlie: It wasn’t a guess, it was more of an estimate.

Why I'm rec’ing this scene: I love it when Charlie gets all riled up and protective and defensive about his math, and Edgerton just pushes all his buttons. This is not the only scene in Edgerton’s eps where he and Charlie spark, in fact, not even the only scene in this ep, but it was their first meeting, so I had to choose it.

Title: Toxin: Edgerton and the Eppes boys
Scene: Don and Charlie arriving at Sibley

Edgerton: Professor and Agent Eppes, how can I not learn something today?

Why I'm rec’ing this scene: Edgerton always seems so happy to see Don and Charlie that it makes my day! His later comment in this very ep, I have the best time with you guys. is indicative of why he’s happy to see them. It’s never boring with Don and Charlie around.

Title: Two Daughters: Edgerton and Buck
Scene (off-screen): Edgerton getting information about Megan out of Buck anyway he has to.

(Don’s closing all the blinds in the interview room)
Don: You’re not going anywhere until you tell me what I want to know.
Buck: That’s all right, I got all day.
Don: Well I don’t, and that should worry you.
Buck: Yeah? Why?
Don: ‘Cause nothing matters to me except getting my agent back, and I’ve got very little time, and you’re my only lead.
Buck: So what? What’re you gonna do, you gonna beat me up?
Don: I’ve never beaten a prisoner in my life, but if you don’t tell me what I want to know by the time I walk out of that door, it’s out of my hands.
Buck: I’m not telling you anything.
(Don walks out, Edgerton walks in and closes the last blind)

Why I'm rec’ing this scene: The fact that Edgerton will do what he has to thrills me a little bit, and scares me a lot.
