Beat the rush
-It's just... The guy is so damn arrogant!

I know how to pick up little things with tweezers, too.
-Oh, good. We beat the rush.
-I mean, I'm with you on this one. We should be cracking this case, not him.
-Cool your jets, Jackie. We are cracking the case.
We're way ahead of science boy.
what does it mean beat the rush?
thanks.
