Episode Quotes

Peter: Which I'm sure used to be very funny.

Astrid: The coroner's on the way with a body.
Walter: You know, this is the part of the day that I look forward to the most. When I know there's something bizarre out there, I just don't know what it is. Like a grab bag of disturbing events.

Peter: Oh, this is gonna be awesome.
Peter: Oh, this is gonna be awesome.
Walter: All we know is that his brain matter has been completely liquefied. How? My first thought is an extremely virulent form of syphilis.
Olivia: You're saying that his brain could have been cooked by an STD?

Walter: Oh, and be sure to check his floppy disks as well.
