I don't have any feelings and even I'm uncomfortable watching this.

Walter O'Brien

When I'm not at a hundred percent, it frightens me.

Walter O'Brien

I've controlled satellites from this computer. I can handle a thermostat.

For $108.3, which month has 28 days?

Walter O'Brien

All of them.

I actually know this one--February?

We have a winner!

Walter O'Brien

Idiots.

Walter O'Brien

Mr. Brooks, I am hacking into airport security. I'm gonna rotate the cameras to point at the monitors. I'll see it remotely and I will walk you through each step.

Who am I on with here? I am not comfortable with you hacking into anything at this airport.

Walter O'Brien

Then don't make it so easy.

Walter O'Brien

In situations like this, carelessnes, mistakes--they will haunt you. I know this from experience.

Toby Curtis

Walter, I'm always on point. Have you seen my hat?

Paige Dineen

Who the hell are you to tell me that my polish looks cheap? That hurts my feelings. Do you understand?

Walter O'Brien

Yeah, I recognize that. I've been told things like that a lot.

Paige Dineen

And my polish streaks because Ralph does it. He loves to paint. And don't tell me that he needs help, either. He's challenged. Have some empathy.

Walter O'Brien

Challenged, huh? Look at Sylvester and him. Do you know what they're doing? The matches are the king, jelly's the queen, the sugar packets are the knights. He's playing chess. With a grandmaster. Who's about to lose.

Sylvester Dodd

Walter, do you see this? Checkmate in 8 moves! This kid is amazing.

Walter O'Brien

He doesn't like to paint your nails. He does it because he wants to hold your hand, but he can't process physical contact. So help him, or he will never connect with you. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your son is a genius.

Walter O'Brien

Do you ever pause your dreams, Ralph?

Ralph Dineen

Yeah.

Walter O'Brien

Ever rewind them?

Ralph Dineen

Sometimes.

Walter O'Brien

Yeah, me too.

Paige Dineen

Hey, seriously, what's wrong?

Walter O'Brien

I'm fine... So is Ralph, by the way. He hacked the thermometer, recallibrated the digital display.

Paige Dineen

He did what?!

Walter O'Brien

He hates school.

Walter O'Brien

Any dreams you have of [Ralph] making a team or being in student council, it's just, uh, not gonna happen.

Paige Dineen

I thought you told me he'd eventually fit in.

Walter O'Brien

He will. Just not in school.

Mr. O'Brien, I understand you waived your public defender.

Walter O'Brien

Correct, yes, I don't need one since this court can't provide me with a fair trial. You see, it's my constitutional right to a jury of my peers, which means you'd have to find 12 residents of Clark County, Nevada, with an IQ of 197 or above. And I've spent some time in Clark County. I can tell you, that's not gonna happen.

Happy Quinn

Not good.

Walter O'Brien

There's no option but to release me.

Bail is set at $500,000.
