Peter Bishop quotes from Fringe

Peter

So let me tell you about my day, Walter. I was abducted, tortured, had two wires shoved up my nose that were connected to a machine I've never seen before and maybe the strangest part of the day is that somehow, without talking, I was able to answer a question that I didn't have the answer to.

Peter

You violated the laws of physics, Mr. Eastwick, and Mother Nature's a bitch.

Peter

You really think it's a good idea to let him have free range in Walter's Believe It Or Not Emporium? ... And just for the record? One mad scientist is my limit.

Peter

Four words that should never show up in a sentence: "classified experimental military project."

Peter

Last week, when Walter got lost, he did exactly what you'd expect Walter to do - he implanted a transponder chip into his neck so that, if he ever got lost, I could find him.

Peter

[speaking to Olivia in a vision] It makes sense now, doesn't it? Why they needed you to take that test voluntarily. Why they needed you to believe that you were their Olivia. They know you can cross over. You've done it before. That's how you ended up here in the first place.

Peter

I know you want to help me, but I don't think you can this time. You can't protect me from everything.

Peter

Olivia, I wanted you to know that I noticed the differences. But I thought it was because of me, because of us. I thought that I was bringing out a different side in you. But it was never because I wanted to be with her more, because I don't.

Young Peter

I know that I sound crazy, but I'm not. I'm not crazy.

Peter

I want Walter. I want you to grant him a temporary furlough so he can help us on the case.

Peter

Let me ask you something. My father... not my favorite. He is without a doubt the most self-absorbed, twisted, abusive, brilliant, myopic son of a bitch on the planet... So he was a chemist. That much I already know. He worked out of a basement lab in Harvard doing research for a toothpaste company. I also know that there was an accident at the lab one night and my father was arrested, beginning the first truly peaceful period in our home. But here's the thing, Olivia. My gut tells me that your friend's life... the one hanging in the balance... not gonna be saved by a tube of toothpaste.

Olivia

[Pause] He worked out of Harvard, but not on toothpaste. He was part of a classified U.S. Army experimental program called Kelvin Genetics. They gave him their resources to do whatever work he wanted, which was primarily in an area called Fringe Science.

Peter

When you say 'Fringe Science', you mean pseudo science?

Olivia

I suppose. Things like mind-control, teleportation, astral projection, invisibility, genetic mutation, re-animation--

Peter

Whoa, excuse me for a sec, re-animation? Really? So you're telling me... what? My father was Dr. Frankenstein?

Walter

[Upon seeing his son, Peter] I thought you'd be fatter.

Peter

You thought I'd be fatter? Excellent. First words, perfect.

Olivia

Dr. Bishop, I was curious. Did anyone else ever have access to your work?

Walter

Well, the assistants had bits and pieces. God, I suppose. I suppose the only one that really knew what I was doing was Belly.

Olivia

Who?

Walter

Belly. William Bell. He and I shared the lab.

Olivia

William Bell?

Peter

You shared your lab with the founder of Massive Dynamic?

Walter

I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. Massive Dynamic...

Peter

Ah, nothing really, just a tiny little company. That's perfect. One guy becomes one of the wealthiest men on the planet. The other guy becomes an institutionalized psychopath.

Walter

Oh!

Olivia

What? What happened?

Walter

Oh, I just pissed myself.

Peter

[smiles] Excellent.

Walter

Just a squirt.

Olivia

[about dream state] Have you done this before?

Walter

I have used this technique to extricate information from a corpse once. You can do that if they haven't been dead longer than six hours.

Peter

[sarcastically] Right, cause after six hours, that's when they're really dead.

Walter

[after being handed the phone] Just making some popcorn.

Peter

Walter, I'm with a woman in her mid-twenties. She is going into cardiac arrest due to an overdoes of anesthesia. :[machine beeps] Her heart just stopped.

Walter

Do you have any cocaine?

Peter

Cocaine? No, I don't have any cocaine.

Walter

Oh, that's too bad. Going to have to shock her heart.
