Casey : Thanks... for everything.
Jin : Thank you... for being here
Casey : I hope my mom's gonna be okay.

Jin : [translating his father's manuscript in Korean] It says, "Effort plus cost," uh, "to see what is invisible and always visible." No, "omni-visible." No, "always visible." "Always visible."
Casey : Wow. I should ask Gabe at work. He's really into these kind of riddles.
Jin : Yes. Yes, what the fuck? My father was always trying to be so profound. Why wouldn't he just write the name down or draw a better picture?
Casey : Well, I didn't think he thought someone was ever going to read this. He probably knew exactly what he meant.
Jin : Still fucking annoying.
