Sebastian : Did you ever hear the one about Superman and Wonder Woman?
Matt : Stop clowning around
Sebastian : No come on this is a good one. Superman's flying around metropolis and he's horny as hell. He's checking out the rooftops and all of a sudden he sees Wonder Woman sunning herself on the roof of the Justice League. I mean she is lying there buck naked and spread eagle. Looks like she wants to get fucked right? So Superman starts thinking to himself, "Man I gotta get myself some of that wonderpussy." and then he realizes that he can fly down, do a little fast pumping and be gone before she even sees him. Because he's Superman. he's faster than a speeding bullet, right? So Superman, he swoops down, he fucks her so quick, she doesn't even see him. Wonderwoman sits up and says, "What the fuck was that?" and The Invisible Man says "I don't know but my asshole is killing me." That's funny right?
Matt : hmm
Sebastian : C'mon, guys. That's funny.

Matt : My 5th grade teacher told me, that "Genius is the ability to go from A to D without having to go through B and C." Sebastian can do that, but for me, I gotta have the B and C.

[Isabelle has been made visible and put in her cage]
Matt : Man, look how peaceful she is.
Sarah : Yeah, if I didn't know better, I'd say nothing happened to her.
Sebastian : Yes, so let's schedule a vivisection for Monday. I want to check her neural pathways.
Sarah : You just brought her back, and now you're gonna slice up her brain?
Sebastian : I'm not runnin' a goddamn zoo! All right?
Sarah : You're a fucking unethical bastard.
Matt : Whoa, whoa, whoa. He's kidding.
[to Sebastian]
Matt : Tell her you're kidding, right?
Sebastian : Right. I don't want to cut her up for another few weeks.
-
Linda : Did you see that?
Matt : Sebastian, can you hear me?
Sebastian : ...The lights! Turn off the... lights!
[Linda and Matt turn the lights]
Sebastian : I can't close my eyes.
Linda : You can, but your eyelids are transparent.
Sebastian : It's weird. I feel the same, but I'm not here.
[Linda pushes on Sebastian's chest]
Linda : You're here.
-
Sebastian : I can't take much more testing.
Matt : I know how hard it is.
Sebastian : Bullshit. You don't know anything.
Matt : This isn't easy for any of us.
Sebastian : Fuck you, Matt! It *is* easy for you. I was to be in phase-shift for three days. It's been ten fucking days, all right? Ten days of tissue tests, radiation tests and your fucking needles! I can't fucking take it anymore.
Matt : What I meant was...
Sebastian : Fuck what you meant! And don't ever... Don't ever tell me how hard you have it.
-
Dr. Kramer : I'm going to call out the scientific council.
Matt : Is there anything we can do in the meantime?
Dr. Kramer : How about clearing out your offices?
Linda : For what is worth, we're both very sorry.
Dr. Kramer : It's a little a late for apologies.
Mrs. Kramer : What's the problem?
Dr. Kramer : Just a screw-up at work!
Mrs. Kramer : How bad?
Dr. Kramer : Bad enough to wake up a few Generals.

Matt : [after Sebastian lied the committee] What the fuck just happened in there?
Linda : Yeah, this better be goddamn good.
Sebastian : I wasn't ready for them to know yet.
Linda : [scoffs] You weren't ready.
Matt : Ready's got nothing to do with it. You have results, you report them.
Sebastian : Can I please just explain?
Linda : You just fucking lied to the Pentagon.
Sebastian : Once they know that we've completed the circle, what's to stop them from taking over the project?
Linda : Why would they do that?
Sebastian : Because they won't need us anymore.
Matt : But it's their project Sebastian. It's gonna happen sometime.
Sebastian : It may be their project, but it's my dream, it's my vision.
Linda : And what are you proposing?
Sebastian : That we go to phase three ourselves.
Matt : Phase three? Are you nuts? You can't just jump into human testing. There are rules, procedures.
Sebastian : You don't make history by following the rules. You make it by seizing the moment.
Linda : Do want to be the first one, don't you? That's what this is all about.
Sebastian : No, this is not about me, this is about us. We always said we would change the world. Now is our chance.

Frank : [after finding out Sebastian sabotage the video feed] It's really pretty clever. All it does is loop the same image.
Janice : So what do we do now? Go after him?
Linda : No. We're going to the committee.
Carter : Whoa, shouldn't we wait and talk to him? I mean, he hasn't really done anything.
Sarah : Hasn't done anything? He killed a dog with his bare hands.
Carter : Oh, and you were there to see that?
Matt : Look, he's been going out there night after night with absolute disregard for his safety and ours.
Frank : God knows what he's done.
Janice : I don't wanna think about it.
Frank : So how much trouble are we in?
Linda : You guys didn't mislead the committee. Matt and I will take full responsibility.
Sarah : What do we do when he comes back?
Linda : Nothing. We're gonna follow procedure. Then we're gonna wait for the committee to put the security into place.
Matt : We'll brief you tomorrow morning.
-
Matt : [after the quantum reversion simulation fails] Full quantum cascade at 95 percent. Fuck.
Sebastian : Some breakthrough. If I were on a table right now, I'd be a steaming pile of flesh.
Matt : Don't tempt me.
Linda : Come on, guys. We're closer, that's what counts.
Sebastian : Closer? He just treated quantum energy for stability. It's ludicrous.
Matt : Come on, Sebastian. You're just pissed you didn't think of it.
Sebastian : Oh really, Matt? Ninety-five percent? That's not even worth my time! For christ sake.
Matt : [as Sebastian walks off] Asshole.
-
Matt : [after Isabelle the gorilla is tranquilized Sarah storms in] Sarah's on the warpath, so I suggest you play nice.
Sarah : This is bullshit, Sebastian. Bullshit.
Sebastian : And good morning to you too. Let's get the monkey on the table.
Sarah : How can you morally justify injecting Isabelle with the serum before you've even tested it?
Sebastian : 'Cause it'll save time.
Sarah : Fine. Then you can mop up afterwards.
Sebastian : You think I'm trying to kill Isabelle with the new protocol?
Sarah : Kill? More like liquefy.
Linda : Lab's prepped.
Sebastian : Well your objections are duly noted and summarily overruled.
Sarah : Yes, sir.
Sebastian : How come when you say, "Yes, sir" it kind of sounds like, "fuck you".
Sarah : Practice.
Sebastian : How'd you ever convince me to hire her?
Linda : You said you wanted the best vet in the country.
Sebastian : She cares more about the animals than the research.
Linda : And maybe that's why she's so good.
-
Matt : [after the simulation fails on his laptop] Oh! Goddamn it!
Linda : What?
Matt : I lost cohesion again.
Linda : Are you any closer?
Matt : No. You know, I just-- I can't figure out the B and C of it.
Linda : The B and C?
Matt : My 5th grade teacher told me the genius is the ability to get from A to D without having to go through B and C. Sebastian can do that. But me...
[whispers]
Matt : I gotta have the B and C.
-
Linda : Testing D-phase protocol, Serial Irradiated Protein Caine 125.
Matt : You know, maybe if you stopped naming 'em after yourself, you'd have better luck.
Sebastian : [Sarcastically] Thank you, Dr. Kensington, for that keen scientific observation. I'll be sure to include it in my memoirs.
Matt : [also sarcastically] Oh, I'm so flattered, Dr. Caine. I'll make sure to put you in mind.
-
Janice : [as Frank hands her a tranquilizer gun] If you're saying you want us to the son of a butch. I'm in.
Carter : [Frank gives him a tranquillizer gun also] Look this isn't a monkey we're talking about, it's Dr. Caine. Don't you think we're overreacting here?
Matt : [as he's giving Carter thermal goggles] I don't give a rat's ass, if we are overreacting. When he's out there, he's at risk.
Linda : If someone finds out what he is, the whole program is destroyed.
Sebastian : [talking over her] Jeez, relax. Nobody's gonna find out.
Janice : [pointing the tranquilizer gun at him] Can I still shoot him?
Matt : Where the hell have you been?
Sebastian : I told Carter. I was getting a little stir crazy. I went to my apartment to pick up some stuff.
Linda : Bullshit. I went to your apartment. I know you did a hell of lot more then pick up some stuff.
Sebastian : I have no idea what you're talking about.
Linda : [disgusted] You of all people. How could you?
Sebastian : And what exactly did you see in my apartment?
Linda : I saw your face. Your clothes.
Matt : Sebastian, in public. Why'd you have to go out in public?
Sebastian : I'm still project leader. It's my decision to make.
Linda : You're right. It's your decision. But if you leave the compound again, I swear I'll go straight to the committee.
Sebastian : Throw your career away? Not likely.
Linda : Try me.
Sebastian : So that's it, huh? I'm officially a fucking lab rat?
Matt : You volunteered for this. You knew there could be consequences.
Sebastian : Carter.
Carter : Yeah?
Sebastian : Next time you do inventory, get me an exercise wheel.
Carter : Yeah, sure.
[everyone looks at him]
Linda : OK, let's pack it up and go home.
Carter : Exercise wheel, was he serious?
Frank : What do you think?
Sarah : Hey, Lynn.
Linda : Yeah.
Sarah : The committee. They do know what we've done, don't they?
[Linda nods her head no]
Sarah : Shit, Lynn!
Linda : It won't matter if we can bring him back
Sarah : I can't believe you did that!
Linda : Sarah, you have deniability, you didn't know. All I ask is please, please don't fuck us.
Matt : [as Sarah leaves] Think she'll say anything?
Linda : No, she's in too far. Its not her I'm worried about.
Matt : Sebastian.
Linda : Yeah. He's gone longer than the animals. What if it starts affecting his mind?
Matt : What if it already has?
