As Larry and Charlie revise their theory, just after the mother's confession, Larry looks at a board with calculations that faces the wrong way. After the camera changes to Charlie for some seconds, the board now faces properly to Larry.
Alan: (to Larry) Not everyone has the emotional and intellectual resource to search for God in a supercollider. Though Alan was directly commenting on Larry's search for God in a religious context, he was also alluding to the work Larry does at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. As a scientist, Larry assists in searching for the theoretical Higgs boson, also known as the God particle, using the D0 (pronounced D Zero) supercollider.

Don: (while chasing the suspect) Not sure where you're going, buddy!
David: Pretty sure the top of this tower doesn't come out in Mexico!
Larry: I wouldn't so readliy discount the thousand psychopaths theory. I mean, what kind of mindless cretins [cre-tins]... Don: Cretins? Larry: (continuing)...would blind themselves to the gifts of science? How else would a Creator reveal Himself but through His creation? And to deny the mind of that creation is to deny the mind of God! Don: (to Charlie) Isn't it cretins [cree-tins]?
David: I hate to break this up, but I was about to pass out from the marker fumes. Amita: Ah yes, that would be the lemon. I told you it was too much. Charlie: I like it. David: It smells like a urinal cake.
Charlie: Oh boy, that's the fourth security camera we passed since they buzzed us through the gate. Larry: Extremist in Orwellian paranoia as well as stunted religious beliefs.
Larry: You, with your job, so many horrific things that you hear people say or do, I mean, how do you shrug that off? Don: Alcohol? (later in the conversation) Larry: Pascal's wager: One lives as if God exists. If He does, your gain is infinite; if He doesn't, you've lost nothing. Don: Think Vegas gives odds on that? Larry: You don't feel any emptiness is this? Don: Hence the alcohol.
M.E. Ridenhour: We all have normal levels of heavy metal like arsenic or mercury in our bodies. Hair shows abnormal dosages. David: Even a year later? M.E. Ridenhour: They dug up Napoleon and it worked on him, so yeah, I think we still got a window here.
Charlie: We're neutral, you know. Just scientists. Doran: You're brick layers; paving the path to hell with good intentions.
(Robin and Don are watching Sullivan's Travels) Robin: You know every line? Don: Not on purpose!
