[Entering a morgue.]

[In his workshop/laboratory.]
Austin: Why do men blink three times every ten seconds, and women only twice? What part of the brain is the soul located in? What was the blood-clotting mechanism of a tyranosaurus? Nobody knows. But the answers are here. And I'm going to find them. That's what kind of place this is. It's the universe!

Austin: I'm going to take you on the greatest adventure of your life. You probably'll never even thank me. Let's go.

Michelle: A science groupie. I have seen everything.
Austin: She's obviously done a lot of work on this. We have to encourage young minds, Micki. Give them a chance to tap our brains.

Michelle: If you're so smart, how come you let a computer program chase you into a crummy laundromat?

Michelle: What kind of human being are you?
Austin: When I was eight years old, I took off all my clothes and painted myself blue. Then I climbed up on the roof of a house, I placed both thumbs on the base of a lightning rod, and faced the electromagnetic north pole. Why? Why did I do that?
Michelle: How should I know?
Austin: Well, when you figure it out, then you'll know what kind of human being I am.

Michelle: You're not on drugs or anything, are you?
Austin: I have fragmented REM cycles. I'm slightly schizophrenic.
Michelle: Is that why you sleep in a tool cabinet?
Austin: Sensory deprivation tank. Helps me dream.
