"HEY." "I'VE DEVELOPED A THEORY." "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THEORIES." "I WANT TO HEAR CURES." "ALL RIGHT." "NOW, LOOK." "UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT WORKS ON THE LEVEL OF THE MICROSCOPIC" "SAMPLE WILL NOT WORK ON YOU AS A WHOLE." "DAMN." "WHY DON'T YOU JUST ADMIT THAT I'M DYING?" "BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO ADMIT THAT AND YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN THINK IT." "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, ADAM." "YOU DON'T EVEN BELIEVE YOURSELF." "I FOUGHT FOR YOU AND WHAT YOU STOOD FOR." "BUT WHAT YOU DID TO US..." "ADAM, I ACCEPTED MY FATE AND I MADE IT MY OWN," "BUT YOU LIED TO US." "I'M NOT DOING IT YOUR WAY ANY MORE." "LISTEN, I CAN HELP YOU."

"ALL RIGHT." "ANYTHING YOU DO YOU PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER," "DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" "THE REALITY IS, ADAM, I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE." "HEY, EM, I JUST SAW BRENNAN TEAR OUT OF HERE." "YOU KNOW WHAT THAT'S ALL ABOUT?" "I SCREWED UP." "I TOLD HIM MY SUSPICIONS ABOUT SIMON FLETCHER." "I'M PRETTY SURE I KNOW WHERE HE WENT." "YOU'RE A HARD MAN TO FIND." "I KNOW YOU."

"I THOUGHT YOU ONLY WANTED TO DEAL WITH ME." "YEAH, WELL, I..." "YOU..." "YOU'VE DISOBEYED ME ONCE ALREADY." "PERHAPS YOUR EMPLOYEE WILL FOLLOW DIRECTIONS BETTER." "HE WANTS SIMON TO MAKE THE DROP." "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW?" "HE DOESN'T KNOW WE HAVE SIMON." "SO WE FOLLOW THAT PLAN." "AND SIMON OPENS THE DOOR FOR US." "SENATOR..." "YOU DON'T WORRY." "YOU'LL HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER BACK BY TOMORROW." "WHAT IS GOING ON?" "WELL, THERE'S A STRANGE SMELL IN THE AIR, KIDDO." "I HAVE A FEELING I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE PLAYING TRICKS OUT THERE."
