Quotes:

[Birack teaches a class on quantum physics.]
Professor Edward Birack: Let's talk about our beliefs, and what we can learn about them. We believe nature is solid, and time a constant. Matter has substance and time a direction. There is truth in flesh and the solid ground. The wind may be invisible, but it's real. Smoke, fire, water, light -- they're different! Not as to stone or steel, but they're tangible. And we assume time is narrow because it is as a clock -- one second is one second for everyone! Cause precedes effect -- fruit rots, water flows downstream. We're born, we age, we die. The reverse NEVER happens. ...None of this is true! Say goodbye to classical reality, because our logic collapses on the subatomic level ... into ghosts and shadows.
[Walter is studying quantum physics.]
Walter: Why do I want a Ph.D. in this?
Catherine: Particle beam weapons, research grants...
Walter: A millionaire when I'm forty! Now I remember!
Kelly: Hello? I'm opening the door, if you want to stop what you're doing and put your clothes on!
Walter: Why is everybody looking at me that way?
Brian: Because you're being asshole-ish.
Walter: Well, it's asshole-ish of you to say so!
[Wyndham is being consumed by beetles.]
Wyndham: I've got a message for you, and you're not going to like it. "Pray for death."
