- Arthur Maciel: [to Brian] Just wait. You know... even if you're not sure, you still did an incredible thing. You got me out of prison. I owe you. Everything. Thank you.
- Brian Finch: I started e-mailing back and forth with some very interesting people. There's Nina, who has some truly fascinating ideas about why quantum particles change form when someone observes them. Then there's John. He's working on a drug that alters the way we all perceive time. I mean, if you could make ten minutes feel like an entire day, what would you do with the extra hours?
- [pauses]
- Brian Finch: Oh! And Arthur... he claims he's one breakthrough away from being able to double a mouse's lifespan by mutating its genes. The limits of what we know... that's something you can get lost in. That's a way to take your mind off a broken heart.
- Brian Finch: [about Arthur, the mouse scientist] Was he a genius, or just a crazy guy in Queens? Off NZT, it's really hard for me to tell. I'd like to think he's a genius.
- Brian Finch: You're telling me to blow off the work the FBI gave me?
- Agent Rebecca Harris: I'm telling you to prioritize.
- Arthur Maciel: Although, I do have to say you're different than I expected you to be. Your e-mails are always... so articulate.
- Brian Finch: Yeah, uh, just kinda depends on the time of day.
- Jarrod Sands: When Mr. Morra gave you that shot to make you immune to the side effects of the pill, he told you it comes with an expiration date. You're gonna need a booster, shortly, or... your life's gonna take a nasty turn - brain damage, blackouts, psychosis. When you bring me those files, all of them, then and only then will you get your next shot.
- Brian Finch: You definitely have to lie to someone, but you can choose who that is. I'm not sure why you picked the one person who's lookin' out for you.
- Nasreen Pouran: [Brian's shirt says: F-emale B-ody I-nspector] You will have access to knowledge that, if applied improperly, would leave you vulnerable to charges of treason. You know, I need to know that you understand this and take it seriously, and that T-shirt isn't helping.
