Charlie: Olivia may have a lead on who abducted her. Only she can't pursue it without some help. I can't help her.
Peter: Why not?

Peter: And you think I'm the guy to break the law for you.

Peter: [to Olivia] You're talking about a man who infects people with giant viruses. If you hadn't escaped, who knows what they would have done to you. Listen to me, you just told him that you killed his wife. He said that to you to try to get a reaction out of you. To get to you. Let it go. You got his confession. Go home.

Olivia: Thank you, Walter.

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.

Astrid: I've got it right here, I'm on it.
Walter: Be sure to check his floppy disks as well.
Peter: Ah, floppy disks are a little outdated. Why don't you focus on what you do best. All yours -- [hands Walter a beaker full of goo] -- liquid brains.

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?

Peter: I don't underestimate my father, by the way. I understand him. Sometimes more than I want to. Look, if I let him talk to that woman, she's just going to accuse him of killing her daughter, which is something he didn't do.
Olivia: Then why not just let them meet?
Peter: Whose side are you on anyway?

Astrid: It also gave him four extra nipples.
Peter: Maybe he mutated into an opossum.
Walter: No, opossum's have 15 mammaries, unlike most mammals, who have an even number of nipples. Hence, the one half rule regarding nipples.
Astrid: The one half nipple rule?
Peter: You just had to ask, didn't you?
Walter: The typical number of young in the litter is usually equal to half the number nipples on the animal. The number of nipples being the maximum litter size. Humans, for example, one child is the typical. Maximum, twins. Barring extraordinary cases when the young exceed the number of nipples.
Peter: God, I hope I never have to hear him say the word "nipple" again.

Olivia: Is your father about?
Peter: Right here. Why don't you ask him what he's doing.
[Olivia looks over, sees Walter shampooing the cow.]
Olivia: I'd rather not. Listen, do you remember that prisoner Jones I went to see in...
Peter: ...in Germany, right?
Olivia: He escaped.
Peter: Good for him. How?

Walter: Two thoughts come to mind. The first, that this affliction might have been caused by a mutation, changing these lipids to seal any and all orifices. Did they check his anus and penis?
Peter: You think we could get the answer to that question without me in the room?
Olivia: What was the other thought?
Walter: Sorry?
Olivia: You said two thoughts came to mind.
Walter: Ah yes. The other was... coffee cake. Tiny pebbles of cinnamon sugar.
Peter: Once again... my father.

Nina Sharp: Cortexiphan: It was part of a clinical trial. A drug that Dr. Bell created in '81.
Olivia: What is it, if you don't mind?
Nina: Dr. Bell theorized that the human mind at birth is infinitely capable, and that every force it encounters, social, physical, intellectual, is the beginning of a process he refers to as "limitation." A diminishing of that potential.
Olivia: And Cortexiphan?
Nina: It was meant to limit that limitation. To prevent the natural shrinking of that brainpower.

Olivia: Is that....
Peter: Yeah, a Geiger Counter.
Walter: Not a rad...I thought you might have teleported to New York in your sleep and killed her. Wouldn't that have been wondrous? But even the most controlled matter to energy transmutation leaves behind some background radiation. Ergo, you were not actually there!

Walter: Consider this...What is mankind's oldest dream?
Astrid: World Peace?
Walter: Oh hardly. It's a social construct imposed by an awareness of our own mortality.
Astrid: Should have gone with 'great taste, less filling' huh?
Walter: What is the greatest desire of the weak, of the subjugated, of the man whose fire is stolen by an opponent whose only advantage is the luck of superior size?
Astrid: We're stealing fire?
Peter: I think we're cavemen in this story.
Walter: Whose woman is wrenched away by brutality and force?
