Quotes[]
- Olivia Dunham: His name is Peter Bishop. He's a high school drop out; an IQ at 190, but just 50 points North of Genius- misfit, nomad. Hasn't held a job longer then two months. He's been a wild land fireman, cargo pilot and briefly a college Chemistry professor. He falsified a degree from MIT and even managed to get a few papers published before he was found out. Sounds like a massive pain in the ass.

- Walter Bishop: Excellent. Let's make some LSD!

- Olivia Dunham: I can have you on a flight back here in four days, but first…

....
- Olivia Dunham: I thought you were a genius. You must have had a system?

- Olivia Dunham: Where did you learn that, MIT?
- Peter Bishop: No, actually picked that up reading books, you should try it sometime, it's fun.
