What we perceive as solid matter is mostly empty space. Just as we may perceive that a life is full that is actually a series of empty encounters.
He's been like that all day. It's been awesome.

No, Peter's right. Your pupils are dilated. It's a symptom of high stress. Unless you're using hallucinogens. Are you tripping, Agent Dunham?
Does any of this trigger anything in your mind?
Yes, but not about banks. Think back 20 years. Imagine yourself then imagining yourself now, 20 years into the future. In your wildest imagination, could you ever think you'd be here?
Is he stoned?
When she's finished chewing her cud, remember to brush her teeth.
I am not brushing a cow's teeth, Walter. You know I have real work to do, right?
You violated the laws of physics, Mr. Eastwick, and Mother Nature's a bitch.
Walter, what are you doing?
I'm dosing a caterpillar.
Dosing. As in LSD?
Well, it's a special blend.
I see. Hey, guess what just happened?
Hmm?
Finding out that my father is giving drugs to bugs, somehow just became a typical moment in my life!
Wonderful isn't it?
Olivia may have a lead on who abducted her. Only she can't pursue it without some help. I can't help her.
Why not?
Suffice it to say, that sometimes the problem with being in law-enforcement is that you got to obey the law yourself.
And you think I'm the guy to break the law for you.
I'm sorry, I didn't...
No, look, you're right. I am the guy to break the law for you. What do you need?
Why would they do that? I mean, what would they want with me? What were they doing? Who could they be?
You're like a question machine.
The man's insane, Olivia.
I concur, and in the category of takes one to know one… that man did seem disturbed.
[to Olivia] You're talking about a man who infects people with giant viruses. If you hadn't escaped, who knows what they would have done to you. Listen to me, you just told him that you killed his wife. He said that to you to try to get a reaction out of you. To get to you. Let it go. You got his confession. Go home.
I was worried too. When you were taken.
Thank you, Walter.
[looking at Peter] Not as much as him, of course.
The coroner's on the way with a body.
You know, this is the part of the day that I look forward to the most. When I know there's something bizarre out there, I just don't know what it is. Like a grab bag of disturbing events.
Astrid, can you check his hard drive? I had it transferred with some of his other effects.
I've got it right here, I'm on it.
Be sure to check his floppy disks as well.
Ah, floppy disks are a little outdated. Why don't you focus on what you do best. All yours -- [hands Walter a beaker full of goo] -- liquid brains.
Fantastic! I'll get the bone saw.
All we know is that his brain matter has been completely liquefied. How? My first thought is an extremely virulent form of syphilis.
You're saying that his brain could have been cooked by an STD?
Safe sex is important. You do always have your sexual partners wear a condom, I hope?
Walter...
I don't underestimate my father, by the way. I understand him. Sometimes more than I want to. Look, if I let him talk to that woman, she's just going to accuse him of killing her daughter, which is something he didn't do.
Then why not just let them meet?
Whose side are you on anyway?
I know what it's like to live with something unresolved. That's all.
Congratulations. You just described the entire planet.
I tried to expense a couple of Celtic tickets on the FBI--she caught me.
Oh, I see. I hope she doesn't notice the $2,000 for the baboon seminal fluid I ordered. I hope I can recall why I ordered it.
