Chaos theory?
Yeah, a virus mutates in the Congo. We evacuate an ER in Chicago. Romano gets his arm cut off.
You lost me.
Seemingly random events, all part of a larger equation.
I'm hot.
You know, a butterfly flaps its wings in China, and creates a tornado halfway around the world.
Are you hot?
I'm just saying that there's an inherent unpredictability about everything-- evolution, life. Love, relationships.
So what am I? The butterfly or tornado?
No, you're chaos in general.
Oh, thanks.
No, I'm just saying, you're chaos to me. The unknown. I'm chaos to you.
You are hardly chaos, Carter.
I'm just saying there's a risk in anything that you do, right? But don't you want to stack the odds in your favor? I mean, I'm drawn to you. It's kind of that simple. I've been drawn to you for two years, but chaos always seems to rule, and I don't want it to rule. I want to know where it's taking me. You know what I mean?
Nope.
The tornado. Definitely the tornado.
