- Clive Babineaux: You say you were Mr. Piercy's "Principal Life Enabler"? I'm unsure what that...
- Nora Shaw: We reject traditional job titles here. It's a tech thing.
- Clive Babineaux: But in traditional terms you'd be... ?
- Nora Shaw: "Personal assistant."
- Olivia Moore: It's just, his expression was more like he demanded respect for an imagined authority.
- Jimmy: Liv, I can't draw that, okay?
- Clive Babineaux: So, how's the brain?
- Olivia Moore: Nothing specific so far.
- Clive Babineaux: You'll let me know if you get an urge to disrupt anything or...
- Olivia Moore: Which begs the question. Can the mind truly comprehend itself?
- Clive Babineaux: Oh, man. So it's going to be like this.
- Ravi Chakrabarti: Messing with the mind, it feels kind of Frankenstein-y.
- Olivia Moore: Horses disrupted feet. Trains disrupted the horse. Smart drugs will disrupt the mind itself. Imagine, Ravi. The new normal.
- [Draws on white board]
- Olivia Moore: Synthetically enhanced brains processing a massively expanded sensorium wired into a worldwide data net with cybernetically empowered superbodies.
- Ravi Chakrabarti: Got it. The future will be obnoxious.
- Ravi Chakrabarti: I'm not mad. In an apocalypse, it'd give me solace knowing you're safe in Cornell's bunker. While I battle motorcycle cannibals.
- Olivia Moore: Logic dictates, if you withhold data, you have reason to hide it. "
- Ravi Chakrabarti: Data," what... You mean her statement?
- Olivia Moore: It's all data, Ravi,
- [Thinks]
- Olivia Moore: I mean, you could design a system, you'd have a mechanism to gather crime data. Physical evidence, testimony, relationships, motive. A smart algorithm analyzes. And voilà.
- Ravi Chakrabarti: Congratulations. You just invented the police.
- Clive Babineaux: You're in "nootropics"?
- Dalton: "Smart drugs," if you will. Cutting-edge pharmacology for brain enhancement, increased energy and executive function.
- [In slogan-y voice]
- Dalton: The bio-engineered mind, the next step in human evolution.
- [Continues]
- Dalton: You know, I'm surprised you guys don't do it. I bet you the criminals do.
- Clive Babineaux: Were you aware of something called "Project Z"?
- Dalton: What, the bunker thing? Wild, huh? The guy was a visionary.
- Clive Babineaux: You know, he kept a list of who he intended to let in.
- Dalton: Was I on it?
- Clive Babineaux: No.
- Dalton: Ah, well, guess we'll be Mad Max-ing it out here together then, huh?
