Sleeping Beauty

Jim: Who's this? Your date for the evening?

Blair: No. Jim, I almost hit her with my car. She jumped right out in front of me. She's not talking, she doesn't have any ID, and...she looks terrified.

Jim: Judging from the gown, I'd say she's an escapee from the psych ward at Engelman General. I'll make a few calls. See what we can find out here. Chief, keep her off the furniture.

Jim: Yeah, I hear that. Well, the boss told me that when, uh, Newman died, he cleared out his locker and he found this notebook.

Simon: Looks like rocket science.

Jim: This make sense to you? Not to me, sir.

Simon: Good. I thought it was just me.

Jim: She looks lost.

Blair: She is, man. She went to sleep as a child. She woke up as an adult. She missed critical years of her life. All sorts of cultural indoctrinations, rites of passage. I can't imagine what she's going through, you know?

Blair: Jim Ellison in a dress shop. I would have loved to have seen that. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

Jim: Oh, come on, I was married once, you know? I mean...

Blair: Jim, I think right about now, you're the one she's closest to.

Jim: Me?

Blair: Yeah. Last night...when she went to sleep, I, uh...I found this on the floor.

Jim: This is some kind of schoolgirl crush. Come on. I mean, emotionally, she's a kid, remember?

Blair: When you're 12 years old, your feelings, they may be immature, but they're still real.

Jim: Let's lay out what we have, huh? When the Strassmans were at Pacific Tech, how did you find out that they intended to sell their research to somebody else?

Sullivan: We had confidential information.

Jim: And who would that be?

Sullivan: Shall I define "confidential"

Simon: Come on, buddy. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

Jim: Better make it a double. If I fall asleep now, uh...I don't know when I'll wake up. I don't think I'd make a very good sleeping beauty.
