Fringe quotes

Walter

Where are you going?

Peter

Me? I'm going out for drinks.

Walter

Who are you drinking with?

Peter

Olivia.

Walter

Agent Dunham?! A date?

Peter

No, just drinks. Apparently that's what normal people do. They go out for drinks. If you need to reach me, I'll leave the number of the restaurant right here, okay?

Walter

[knocking] She's here, Peter.

Peter

I know. I heard it, too.

Walter

Shall I get the door?

Peter

Absolutely not. In fact, it would be my preference if you could be someplace else altogether.

Walter

Oh, where?

Peter

Chicago? [opens door] Hey, come on in. I know a great place that's just a couple blocks away. I thought we could walk.

Walter

[notices Olivia looking at Peter as he shimmers] Agent Dunham.

Peter

I'll go get my coat.

Walter

Olivia, please don't tell him.

Bring him back to me.

Walter

I promise.

Young Peter

You're not my father, are you?

Walter

Of course I am. Who else would I be? And I'm going to make you all better.

Walter

I realized at that moment that despite what I'd promised, what I fully intended to do, that I could never take Peter back. The way she looked at him. I saw in her what I feared most in myself when I saw him: I couldn't lose him again. It was the first hole, Olivia. The first breach. The first crack in the pattern of cracks. Spaces between the worlds. And it's my fault. You can't imagine what it's like to lose a child.

Walter

Peter! [laughs] They told me you’d be alright, but I was so worried, son.

Peter

There was another man on that bridge. When Newton’s device started to work, I saw him there. Just, walking down the bridge. He had to have been from the other side. You said that the effects of Newton’s vibrations would be devastating. And… They were, they destroyed that FBI agent, they just… they disintegrated him, like he wasn’t even there. But they didn’t kill the man from the other side. And they didn’t kill me. I’m not from here, am I? You didn’t just open up a hole to the other side… You went through. And you brought me back. That’s why I was able to survive Newton’s device. That’s why I can’t remember my childhood.

Walter

You were dying, Peter —

Peter

That’s why my mother committed suicide. Isn’t it? She knew, didn’t she? And when I left, the guilt was too much for her to live with. The lie.

Walter

Peter, you need to understand, son —

Peter

I understand, Walter. I understand everything now.

Walter

Son —

Peter

I am not your son! I’d like to be alone now.

Walter

[to Olivia] I've spent my life making things that bring joy and happiness to make the world a better place. Bubble gum, that was one of my first. Flannel pajamas. Ah, rainbows! And my latest project -- singing corpses!

Who can take a sunrise? Sprinkle it with dew....Cover it with choclate and a miracle or two...The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can. The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!

Walter

Why not bring a little life to the dead I say!

Walter

The Hadron Super Collider is less complicated than that infernal dishwater.

Astrid

Next time, don't use laundry detergent, and the dishwasher will work fine.

You're FBI, huh? What exactly is a civilian consultant?

Peter

Sometimes people with certain areas of expertise can offer them to the Bureau on a consulting basis. My area of expertise is...weird.

You mean difficult to explain?

Peter

No, I mean the strange, the inexplicable.

I was thinkin' 'hey, maybe a slow day', it being Saturday and all. No rest for the wicked.

Oh, you're not wicked, Charlie. You just pretend really really well.

William Bell

Uh, excuse me, excuse me. Don't I know you from… somewhere? Oh, I have it, you're agents. Fringe Division. You work for the secretary.

Sorry, sir, we're in a bit of a rush.

William Bell

I'd imagine you would be. Chaotic times, aren't they? Chaotic times. I… I'm sorry, the secretary and I are old friends. I'm William Bell. I see you're carrying the '76 power side-arms. I designed those, you know…

Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Bell, but we have to…

William Bell

The '76 models don't have the phase repeater. That's a design flaw.

William Bell

They also don't have the pulse function, which I am putting in the '77.

Excuse me, sir.

Walter

Hello, William.

William Bell

Walter.

Walter

I see you've aged.

William Bell

It appears I'm not the only one.

Olivia

I don't think that he can. I mean, not without you. Peter… you don't belong here.

Peter

No, I don't belong here. But I don't belong there, either.

Olivia

Yes, you do. I have thought of one hundred reasons… why you should come back. To — to fight the shape-shifters, to take care of Walter, to — to save the world. But in the end… you have to come back. Because you belong with me.

[speaking to Brandon] You and I know something that many lives and many more dollars have been spent to keep secret: that we are at war. At war with another universe populated by creatures that have damaged the very fabric of reality. All around us our world is under attack. Somehow this girl came here. Somehow she is equipped to move through universes. We need her to help us understand this skill, because if we can do it, we can win this war. And if not, soon there will be nothing left to protect.

No, sir, not yet. Shore patrol said there's no way she could have made it across. The currents are impossible this time of year.

What do you think?

I think from what I know about Olivia Dunham, she's the one person I would bet on who could survive.

Then find her.
