Recap

Executive Mark Young arrives late for a meeting at an office building New York City. He gives his presentation but as he cleans up afterward, alone, he sees a butterfly floating through the conference room. It lands on his hand... and slices it open with razor-sharp wings. Mark manages to kill it, but a couple of others fly in and slice him. They fly into the heating duct and Mark bends over to look in... and hundreds of the butterflies pour out into his face. Covered in lacerations, Mark finally runs through the window and falls to his death. He lands on a car below... in front of the Massive Dynamic Building...

Episode Notes
Mark Young is taking an Oceanic flight to Omaha: Oceanic is the airline in J.J. Abrams' Lost.



Episode Quotes
Peter: Just your average multi-national corporation specializing in secret bio research and defense contracting. Massive Dynamic. Seems like such an innocent name for a corporation, don’t you think?

Walter: It’s a shame I don’t have a lab. I’d like to examine him.
Peter: You do have a lab, Walter. Your lab at Harvard.
Walter: Yes. I do, don’t I?

Charlie: Do you ever wonder how we survived as a species without drugs?

Walter: Coffee yogurt.
Astrid: The synthetic compound?
Walter: Peter. When he was 13, all he would eat was coffee yogurt. Almost drove his mother to tears.
Peter: Walter, that wasn’t me, that was you.
Walter: Oh?
Peter: (answering his cell phone) Hello?
Walter: If that’s Agent Dunham, tell her to bring some coffee yogurt.
Peter: Can you hold on for one second?
Walter: He’s right about the yogurt. In case you haven’t noticed, I can be quite obsessive.
Astrid: Really?

Olivia: How long is this going to take?
Walter: Miss Dunham, what we’re doing, what you have asked me to do, is pushing the boundaries of all that is real and possible. We’re not roasting a turkey.

Walter: Uh oh.
Olivia: What?
Walter: I just got an erection. Oh, fear not, it's nothing to do with your state of undress. I think I simply need to urinate.
Olivia: That's good to know.

Olivia: Walter, what’s the Bible for?
Walter: Well, you’re taking untested psychedelics, lying in saline with an electric charge in the base of your cranium. Among other things, I thought it appropriate to pray you don’t get electrocuted.
Olivia: Praise the Lord.
Walter: Amen.

Walter: I need you to adjust the drugs.
Peter: Well, what did you give her this time?
Walter: Drugs I’d rather be taking myself.

George: Massive Dynamic is Hell. And its founder, William Bell, is the Devil. And I can prove all of it.

Walter: There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality. I’ve rarely if ever opposed to such things except now.
