Daniel: Do you believe in love at first sight; Mr. Hume?
Desmond: Excuse me?
Daniel: The first time I saw her, I was walking through this museum a few weeks ago. She... she works here. She was on the lunch break. She was eating a chocolate bar. She has these incredible blue, blue eyes, red hair. And as soon as I saw her, right... right in that moment, it was like... it was like I already loved her. And that's when things got weird.
[Daniel search out in his bag and takes a book off]
Daniel: That same night after I saw that woman... I woke up and I wrote this.
Desmond: So what is it?
Daniel: I'm a musician. I have no idea. So I took it to a friend of mine at Caltech. He's a math whiz. He said this is Quantum mechanics. He said these equations are so advanced that only someone who'd been studying physics their entire life could've come up with them.
Desmond: So... so what do they mean?
Daniel: Okay, imagine... imagine something terrible is about to happen, something catastrophic. And the only way to stop it from happening was by... releasing a huge amount of energy. Like setting off a nuclear bomb.
Desmond: You wanna set off a nuclear bomb?
Daniel: Just listen. What if this... all this... what if this wasn't supposed to be our life? What if we... we had some other life and for some reason, we changed things? I don't want to set off a nuclear bomb, Mr. Hume. I think I already did.
Desmond: Listen, mate, um... I don't know what any of this has to do with me. So...
Daniel: Why did you ask my mother about a woman named, Penny? It happened to you too, didn't it? You felt it.
Desmond: I don't know... I don't know what I felt.
Daniel: Yes, you do. You felt love.
Desmond: That's impossible because I don't know anything about this woman. I don't know... I don't know where she is. I don't even know if she exist. She's... She's an idea.
Daniel: No, Mr. Hume. She's my half-sister. And I can tell you exactly where and when you can find her.
