Fringe Quotes

Peter: Walter, what are you doing?
Walter: I'm dosing a caterpillar.
Peter: Dosing. As in LSD?
Walter: Well, it's a special blend.
Peter: I see. Hey, guess what just happened?
Walter: Hmm?
Peter: Finding out that my father is giving drugs to bugs, somehow just became a typical moment in my life!
Walter: Wonderful isn't it?

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?
Charlie: Suffice it to say, that sometimes the problem with being in law-enforcement is that you got to obey the law yourself.
Peter: And you think I'm the guy to break the law for you.
Charlie: I'm sorry, I didn't...
Peter: No, look, you're right. I am the guy to break the law for you.

Olivia: Why would they do that? I mean, what would they want with me? What were they doing? Who could they be?
Walter: You're like a question machine.

Peter: The man's insane, Olivia.
Walter: I concur, and in the category of takes one to know one… that man did seem disturbed.

TV Show: Fringe
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.
Walter: I was worried too. When you were taken.
Olivia: Thank you, Walter.
Walter: [looking at Peter] Not as much as him, of course.

TV Show: Fringe
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.

TV Show: Fringe
Olivia: Astrid, can you check his hard drive? I had it transferred with some of his other effects.
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Peter: Ah, floppy disks are a little outdated.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: Fantastic! I'll get the bone saw.

TV Show: Fringe
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: Safe sex is important. You do always have your sexual partners wear a condom, I hope?
Peter: Walter...

TV Show: Fringe
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?
Olivia: I know what it's like to live with something unresolved. That's all.
Peter: Congratulations. You just described the entire planet.

TV Show: Fringe
Peter: I tried to expense a couple of Celtic tickets on the FBI--she caught me.
Walter: Oh, I see. I hope she doesn't notice the $2,000 for the baboon seminal fluid I ordered. I hope I can recall why I ordered it.

TV Show: Fringe
Bowman: What weapons do you have? What weapons?!?
Male Flight Attendant: We have a taser in the cockpit which I will use on you if you don't calm down.
Bowman: Taser won't do a thing. It'll just piss me off.

TV Show: Fringe
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: Cut open his hand.
Peter: What?
Olivia: I want to see if there's a disc in it, like Bowman's.
Walter: [springing up out of his chair] I like cutting!

TV Show: Fringe
Olivia: You didn't have to come with me, you know.
Peter: Shady deals with shady guys in shady hotels is my M.O. And typically, if someone is going to kill you, it's a good idea to have an ally in the room.
Olivia: I'm not scared.
Peter: Being fearless doesn't mean you're being safe.

TV Show: Fringe
Walter: This is an antidote. While I can't guarantee it will actually work, I do have a recorded IQ of...
Astrid: 196.
Walter: Really?

TV Show: Fringe
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?
Olivia: Nobody knows. It makes no sense. The German authorities came to see me last night.
Peter: How come when nobody knows and it doesn't make sense, they come to us?

TV Show: Fringe
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.

TV Show: Fringe
Olivia: I was hoping you might have one of your... weird connections...
Peter: Weird connections?

Peter: Well, you're always a little weird.

Markam: Who's this friend?
Olivia: Olivia Dunham.
Markam: Five dollars I could name at least one item on your nightstand, Olivia Dunham. Don't tell me. You're gonna like this, I'm never wrong. It's a gift. Okay. Tony Morrison novel, something by Obama and/or the current issue of Bon Appetit.
Olivia: I'm reading Advanced Forensic Science by Anaman. I keep it next to my gun.
Markam: I like this one.

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.

Walter: Unless you have an IQ higher than mine, I am not interested in what you think.

Peter: Walter, Olivia's here, she needs to talk to you. Walter!
Walter: Could she come back later? I'm about to step in the bath.
Peter: No, she can't come back later. It's the middle of the night. She needs to talk to you right now.
Walter: [walks out of the bathroom] Honestly, Peter, can't a man get -- Agent Dunham. Peter, why didn't you tell me Agent Dunham was here?
Peter: I'm pretty sure I did.

TV Show: Fringe
Olivia: Walter, the last time you used that thing, you drilled it into the guy's head.
Walter: If you think he'll find it disagreeable, I suppose it could be modified.
Peter: Really? You didn't think to mention that to the last guy?

TV Show: Fringe
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!
Peter: Great, well I'm glad we got that cleared up...

TV Show: Fringe
Peter: New York it is.
Walter: I love New York! We could catch a show! PIPPEN! (starts to sing) Cats fit on the windowsill, children fit in the snow...
Peter: Walter, you're staying here [to Astrid] I'll make it up to you.
Walter: [still singing, softly] Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go?
Astrid: That is the Jackson 5, right?
Walter: [nods, sadly] Absolutely.

TV Show: Fringe
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?
Peter: Sexist cavemen at that.
Walter: Simple. To kill with thought. To wish someone dead. To murder with the mind.
Peter: Come on, that's ridiculous!
Walter: You're right, I'm sure. Unless of course it happens again.

Peter: You know, until this year I'd never actually been to a mental hospital.
Olivia: Learn to like new things.

Walter: Nick Lane may be turning into a walking epidemic. As his emotions become more intense, he may become more contagious.
Peter: Great...Why can't 'more angry' ever translate into less dangerous?

Broyles: We have another monster on the loose?
Olivia: Ah, no sir. Walter said the teeth marks are definitely human.
Broyles: I can just about remember when a suspect being human was a given, not an option.

TV Show: Fringe
Walter: [singing] C1 Cervical Vertebra's connected to the C2 Cervical Vertebrae. C2 Cervical Vertebra's connect to the C3 Cervical Vertebrae....
Peter: Walter, that's enough.
Astrid: When you finally meet a nice girl, I would avoid bringing her home for as long as possible.
