Fringe quotes

Olivia

I was thinking about that girl Jessica. One encounter with us and her child almost becomes an orphan. We deal with this every day. We're playing odds, Peter. What do you really think our chances are of having a normal life?

Peter

Olivia, I know you're scared about what happened in the lab yesterday.

Olivia

I don't know what's happening to me, what I'm becoming. I've got this power inside me that terrifies me because I don't understand it, and I just want it out.

Peter

Okay. We'll figure it out. Together.

Olivia

Is that a personal guarantee?

Peter

[kisses Olivia and rests his forehead against hers] After all we've been through, I will not lose you again, Olivia.

Walter

[to Peter and Olivia on the phone] You said that Agent Broyles was on site. Is he evacuating the area?

Olivia

Yes. One square mile from the center of the beam.

Astrid

Okay, Walter, the geologicals are coming in.

Walter

[retrieves printed document] Oh no.

Olivia

Oh no what?

Walter

I know I read something about this. Three months ago a subterranean oil reservoir was discovered below Beacon Hill.

Astrid

What does that mean?

Walter

Imagine putting a match to a can of lighter fluid. Unless we stop this soon, the sunbeam will essentially set Boston on fire from below. Peter, you should alert Agent Broyles. Tell him he will need to evacuate an area with a radius much wider than a mile.

Peter

How much?

Walter

All of it.

Peter

All of what?

Walter

Boston.

Peter

We'll call you back.

Olivia

At least now we know how you got shot. I've seen you shot before just like this. You came to me at the opera house. You said in every version of the future I would have to die.

September

I did not. Or I have not yet. I suspect I understand now. The conversation you are referring to has not yet happened for me. I must investigate the future and find out what I meant. I hope I get back to you in time.

Nina

I assure you if she knows anything, we will too.

Olivia

She took a chance at dying in that office building for whatever her mission is. She was counting on me to save her. They used Jessica to play on my sympathies, and then they used my feelings for Peter; my fear that Jones would kill him.

Nina

William always thought a lot about the powers Cortexiphan children might have.

Olivia

Why is he activating me now? Why is he doing this?

Nina

My dear, you may have a different set of memories now, but in your heart you're still the girl I knew. You've always had incredible compassion. It was your capacity for feeling that made William and Walter so sure that you would be the perfect candidate for the trials, and I don't know what it is but William must want -- no, needs something from you. Something only you can provide.

Peter

It's going to be okay.

Olivia

You know, for the first time, I don't think that it is. I remember being in that lab in Jacksonville with Walter and William and doing the Cortexiphan trials. I remember how it smelled, how I felt, how scared I was, how all alone I was, and now years later nothing's changed. I'm still that little girl and William Bell is still doing experiments on me. I'm still being used.

Peter

No, something has changed: this time you're not alone.

Walter

Excuse me, miss. Is that lemon jello?

These are urine samples.

Walter

Oh, well in that case no thank you. I'm more peckish than thirsty.

Peter

[waves folded newspaper] I found one. It's perfect: Brookline, center hall, two stories.

Olivia

Peter --

Peter

I just figured after everything we've been through in the last couple of days -- the last couple of years -- I thought we deserved a little bit of normal.

Olivia

It's perfect.

Peter

I suppose that he was right, the Observer. I every version of the future you had to die, but I never want to lose you again. [they hug, but Peter notices Olivia's apprehension] What? Are you okay? Did the doctor tell you anything else?

Olivia

Actually, he did.

Peter

What?

Olivia

Peter, I'm pregnant.

Peter

What time is it?

Astrid

a... it's around seven. I made some tea. And I found these in the fridge, their called egg-sticks.

Peter

Oh my God. What is that, punishment food?

Astrid

Welcome to 2036.

Walter

Peter, you let me over sleep. You should've gone out way by now to find Olivia.

Peter

Nobody wants to find Olivia more than I do. But, you're gonna need some pants Walter.

Walter

I'm aware I'm not wearing pants, Peter. I'm not an idiot.

Walter

Oh God [spitting it out], what's that?

It's an egg-stick.

Walter

What a miserable future.

Peter

What did they do to the park?

They paved it to build machines that pump carbon monoxide into the atmosphere.

Astrid

Why?

There's one in every continent. The air here is too oxygen rich for them. Few more years and the effects will be irreversible, to reduce the non-Observer life span to somewhere around, 45.

Peter

So the Observers have Olivia?

No. Amber gypsies.

Walter

What on earth are amber gypsies?

Peter

Markham?

Markham is dead. He died a heroes death [picks up a gun] People were sad. He gave a life, saving a bus full of little children. [Peter breaks down the door, as Edward fires a shot to the ceiling. And then Peter grabs the gun] You're alive....

Peter

Where is she?

All of you....

Peter

Where is she?

Why haven't you aged? How did you not age?

Peter

We know you bought her. [Peter notices the amber chunk on the floor that is being used as a table now, with Olivia in it]

I love her. From the first time she came into my book store. I never meant her any harm.

Peter

[pointing the gun at Edward] How did you get her in here? You had to use a dolly or something.

It's not supposed to happen this way. She's supposed to wake up and see me as her saviour, when I figure exactly how to wake her up.

Walter

It's not as bad as I thought.

Olivia

Walter, is this what I think it is?

Walter

My cold storage of all the Fringe events we ever encountered, dormant for twenty-one years. If we're going to find a diversion to get into the railway station, we'll find it here.

Peter

What do you suggest, Walter?

Walter

There was a time when we solved Fringe cases. Now I think it's time we created a few of our own.

Olivia

Where did you get that?

I found it in our old house on Quincy Street. I wanted to remember things. I don't know. I just wanted to be there. It made me feel closer to you. It was looted; the entire block was. Upstairs in your bedroom, what used to be your bedroom, I found what was left of your old jewelry box. There was this matchbook inside and I shook it. Inside I found this. I figured it had to be important or you wouldn't have kept it.

Olivia

How long have you been wearing it?

Since I was thirteen. You want it back?

Olivia

No, no. I want you to keep it. Let me see it. [smiles] You know, your father used to call this the bullet that saved the world.
