Peter Bishop quotes from Fringe

Astrid

So this thing has the claws of a lion and the fangs of a snake?

Walter

It reminds me of a woman I once knew in Cleveland.

Peter

Walter, these punctures are over four inches apart. And that would make this snake eight-feet long.

Walter

Her name was Harriet something.

Olivia

How is everything?

Peter

Well, apparently you're looking for a lion-snake named Harriet.

Olivia

Walter, have you got any idea what kind of animal would be in a lab that could do this?

Walter

Well, judging by the wounds, I'd say two or three different ones, actually.

Peter

Right, a motley crew of lab animals got together and decided to exact their revenge on mankind.

Peter

Are you okay? Did you take something?

Walter

Psychedelics? No, not since Thursday, no.

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...

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.

Olivia

Peter, what is happening to me?

Peter

Hey.

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?

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.

Charlie

So this is what I've got so far. Bus driver called 911, reported an agitated woman got off his bus. Moments later, she caught fire and exploded. Police combed the area, they couldn't find any evidence of an accelerant or an incendiary device.

Peter

There's somethin' strange in your neighborhood...

Walter

Who ya gonna call?

Olivia

What process?

To create super soldiers.

Olivia

Super-soldiers.

Yes. Like Khan Noonian Singh.To defend us in the coming war.

Olivia

What war?

Peter

I'm sorry. The Khan?

Yes.

Peter

As in The Wrath of...?

Yes.

Peter

Let me guess. This war, it's against...

The Romulans. Renegade Romulans from the future, here to change the timeline. The sworn enemy of the Federation.

Peter

The Federation. That would be the United Federation of Planets.

Yes.

Peter

Hmm. And you know this because?

I am the son of Sarek.

Peter

Which makes you Spock.

Yes.

Peter

Well, Mr. Spock, thank you for your time. We'll let you get back to the bridge now.

Live long and prosper.

Walter

When Belly and I were younger men, we regularly ingested large quantities of LSD.

Peter

You don't say?

Peter

What else aren't you telling me, Walter?

Walter

Lots, I'm sure.

Walter

You know, there's something you don't know about me, Son.

Peter

What's that? That once you enter a grocery store, you never leave again? Ever?
