Episode Quotes
Broyles: Is he coming out?
Peter: Well, that’s unclear. He’s currently in the car fiddling around with the seat warmer.

Peter: Something on your mind?
Walter: Please. The term “on your mind” vexes me with its depictive inaccuracy.
Peter: Aw, stop. Would you just talk like a person? What are you thinking?
Walter: Please. The term “on your mind” vexes me with its depictive inaccuracy.
Peter: Aw, stop. Would you just talk like a person? What are you thinking?

Peter: Walter, I am with a woman in her mid-twenties, she is going into cardiac arrest due to an overdose of anesthesia. (pauses) Her heart just stopped.

Walter: It's one of the inherent pitfalls of being a scientist, trying to maintain that distinction... between God's domain and our own. Sometimes I forget myself. But then, you already know that.
Olivia: What do you mean?
Walter: If you've read my file, then you know the truth about Peter's medical history. I've been meaning to ask you-
Olivia: Walter. There was no mention of any medical history. Just his birthday.
Walter: Oh. Uh-I was going to ask you to keep it between just the two of us, but... umm... I suppose then there's no need.
