Transcript[]
| Tedd | Okay, so, no. But if there were something like that, you'd tell me... Right? |
| Edward Verres | (putting his hand on Tedd's shoulder) Tedd. |
| Edward Verres | If you ask me a question I cannot answer, either because I don't know or cannot safely say, I will say so. Or change the subject. Or fake a seizure. |
| Tedd | That was fake? |
| Edward Verres | What I will not do is feed you misinformation. You're in too deep for that to be safe for anyone. If I knew what was happening, I would say so. Or pretend my phone is ringing. |
| Back to the present | |
| Tedd | My dad's never heard of the whales. I know he can't know everything, but... dude. |
| Elliot | You need to relax, Tedd. There's no way of knowing when, or even if, we'll have to deal with magic jerks. |
| Elliot | Particularly when you consider that a potentially immortal whale's concept of time could differentiate greatly from out own perception of spacetime. |
| Tedd | Susan, how much Star Trek have you been making Elliot watch? |
| Susan | I merely provided The Next Generation DVDs. He's the one who insisted on watching the entire series twice. |
| Justin squints at her. | |
