Dr. Edison Cardosa quotes from Gen V

Indira Shetty

What the hell happened?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

I mean, maybe Sam penetrated the ear canal with, um... his member?

Indira Shetty

That's the sum total of your searing insight, that Sam skull-fucked Bob here?

Indira Shetty

I want the whole security team on this.

Dr. Edison Cardosa

Well, half of them are dead.

Indira Shetty

Then use the other half.

Indira Shetty

Okay. So she’s the answer. We do this... and there’s no going back.

Dr. Edison Cardosa

I- I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to, I was just following orders. We killed a Supe. My God. I- I mean, I thought she’d get the flu. Some vomiting. Maybe diarrhea.

Indira Shetty

So the virus worked?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

Only five millimeters more, that was all.

Indira Shetty

All right. Now can you make it contagious?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

Compassionate control.

That is such a great phrase. Do you mind if I steal that?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

[Meeting Victoria in a parking garage with briefcase] The virus isn’t very contagious, thank God. It can survive for a few days at ambient temperature, but, you’ll want to get these test tubes into cold storage sooner than later. NIH will know what to do.

Speaking out against Vought takes a lot of courage, Dr. Cardosa.

Dr. Edison Cardosa

I was so relieved when you contacted me about my research. I could not stand by any longer while Dean Shetty twisted my work. You and I have the same goals, right?

Compassionate control.

Dr. Edison Cardosa

That is such a great phrase.

Do you mind if I steal that?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

Sure. It’s all yours. And you’ll get me and my family out before things take a turn. Witness protection, right?

Yeah. Already taken care of. [Hands him business card and he hands her briefcase] Is this all of it?

Dr. Edison Cardosa

Yeah. And... you’re the only one who knows how to replicate it, right?

We’ll make sure this stays out of the wrong hands. [Walks to vehicle, opens door and turns to him] Hey. You’re a 21st-century American hero, Dr. Cardosa.

Dr. Edison Cardosa

[Notices blood dripping from nose onto blank business card and chuckles] Oh. The air must be a little dry. [Victoria implodes Edison's head and gets in her vehicle]
