EPISODE'S BEST QUOTES
|
- Peter to Broyles in the lab when Broyles questions Peter about Walter's obsession with fruit cocktails.
Peter: "Mr. Broyles, two thirds of the time my father’s not even lucid. And in those rare and unpredictable moments of clarity, he rambles on about the food and beverages that he missed while he was incarcerated in a mental institution for the better part of the last two decades. To say that he’s not focused is to say that he’s a biped, which is to say, you’re absolutely right, he’s not focused. And it’s not going to change anytime soon. I’m his son, I’m not a puppeteer. I don’t have a remote control. There’s no master switch I can flick and turn him into the man I wish had raised me, or even somebody I don’t have to baby-sit every day.
"I guess that's been on my mind for awhile."
Broyles: *dry* Apparently"
- Walter: "Excellent work, son. You may have found your true calling at last. Working with me!"
- Peter: "I certainly hope not!"
- Olivia, as Walter talks about finding maker's footprint in the genetic code of the parasite excitedly
Olivia: "I don't understand..."
Peter: "That puts you in the same group as the rest of humanity."
- Walter: "You know, I had a fruit cocktail once in Atlantic City. Mind you, I’m not the fruit cocktail sort of guy."
- "Excellent. Conductive gel to prevent the electrical current from setting him on fire. Spread it evenly, and don’t forget his nipples." - Walter
- "I would tell you to snap out the hell of it. To stop whining about what can’t control, can’t change. I would tell you to get some sleep while you can because tomorrow we’ll do this all over again, and guess what, you’ll have a million answers and a million and one new questions. I would tell you those things, but I won’t, because your dissatisfaction is what makes you so damn good. Someone I’m proud to say I work with." - Broyles
