Michael: Now I work for Craig.
Roger: Well, you're on his team.
Michael: "His team"? I'm on his damn "team"? What is this, gym class? Who started this "team" crap, anyway? (edit) Michael: Well, I could go for a devil dog now. You wouldn't have anything like that here, would you?
Dr. Theo: We would ask whenever you're at home you use this lavatory. Which has been specially equipped to collect both your liquid and solid waste for further study.
Michael: You know what? I'm not really hungry anymore. (edit) Dr. Theo: Call it mother's intuition, but I think our boy's about to check his package.
Michael: (to himself) Holy crap!
Dr. Theo: Damn right. Made in America, baby. Made in America. (edit) Dr. Theo: I know what you're thinking. What's the catch? And of course, there is a catch. Pretty big catch. Not huge, but formidable. In return for saving you life, and let me remind you that for all intensive purposes you are already dead and buried Mr. Wiseman. In return for the gift of sight, mobility, and tactile sensation, for being able to walk, talk, taste, and touch, all your government asks in return is that you stay dead. By that we mean you may have no contact of any kind with anyone who you knew in your first life. Ever. That's all. We know you didn't choose to die, Mr. Wiseman. We know there were no good-byes, we're sure your desire to let friends and loved ones know you're here, know you're well...But like I said, I saw your family. I know how precious they must be to you. But your government can't let anyone know of the existence of this technology. You reaching out to anyone from you past absolutely guarantees your immediate and final death. And the death of whomever you confided in. I need you to tell me you understand and agree to that.
Michael: What if I say no? What if I won't do it?
Dr. Theo: Well, hey, this is America. That's your right. Of course, we'll have to take our 3 billion dollars worth of logic sensors, voice stimulators, computer driven neuron transfer generators, and those assorted other doodads, and go home. (chuckles) Let nature take its course. I figure it'll take about sixteen seconds for you to turn into a memory. Aw, forget memory, it'll take about sixteen seconds for you to turn into waste. But please, do think about it. I'll check back. (edit) Michael: Am I alive? Am I dead? What am I?
