Walter Bishop quotes from Fringe

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.

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.

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?

Astrid

(as Walter breaks the jaw off of a corpse) You know Walter, working with you, it's amazing the sort of thing you get used to.

Walter

You're not the first person to tell me that.

Astrid

(now examining the jaw) Wow, looks like somebody could have flossed more.

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.

Olivia

What are you doing here?

Walter

We're trying to plug a hole in the universe. What are you doing here?

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?

Walter

Agent, I need this body taken back to my lab.

Hey, lunatic, this body is going to the morgue. Is he crazy?

Walter

Peter?

Who is the agent in charge here?

I am. Take it wherever he wants.

Walter

Lovely.

[to Peter] Is he crazy?

Peter

Oh, yeah.

Walter

Peter! Peter! They said I can ride in the back with the body. Can I?

Peter

Sure. Of course you can. Stay out of the medications, though. Please.
