- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Who has time for dating?
- Det. Don Schanke: He does, what the hell's wrong with him?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Beats me! Ask him
- [she smiles with a forced brightness]
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: . See ya.
- [she drive off]
- Det. Don Schanke: What is wrong with you anyway?
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: You heard the lady, who's got the time?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: It was not my intention to get into a discussion about my dating life or lack thereof.
- Det. Don Schanke: Oh, For crying out loud if I had known - I mean Myra lives for this stuff.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Oh No, Help Me!
- [a mock cry of horror]
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: He's going to sic Myra the Matchmaker on me. I'll end up married to his cousin in Moosejaw.
- Det. Don Schanke: Hello?
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Oh? - I was listening. I was.
- Det. Don Schanke: From what remote satellite? By the way, how is that hole in the ozone layer doing?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Solving a puzzle is it's own reward for me.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Are you sure?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Oh, Yes.
- [Flash back to modern time]
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Liar!
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Evil is a metaphysical condition.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: You're not Evil!
- [Turning to face him]
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: You ended up on my examining table because you tried to help people.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: I just want you to be happy. Last night I realized something.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: [Shallow voice] What?
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: If I'm not careful, I'll get in the way of you and your happiness.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: I accepted your apology last night!
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: In letter only or in spirit too?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: You're testing me. To see if I've forgotten.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: I see you haven't.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Oh please. Don't bother. It won't work. Maybe I'm just one of those people who they say can't be hypnotized. Or maybe I don't wanna be.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: And you're not afraid?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Fear is based on ignorance. I'd rather try to understand. Understand who you are, and... what you are.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: You're a unique woman.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: No. I'm a scientist.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Science won't help you to understand what I am or the hell of an existence I've locked myself into.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: What makes you think I can't help you?
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Help me? Are you serious? No one can help me. My immortality's a curse. A fall from grace.
- [slowly walks behind her]
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Evil is a metaphysical condition.
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: You're not evil.
- [turns around to face him]
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: You ended up on my examining table because you tried to help people. Also, your condition is a physical one.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: I see. Your specialty. And how on earth do you think you can help this 800-year-old body? This incessant hunger for blood? This physical condition of mine?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: I don't know. Yet. But I am willing to try.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: And what's the reward for you, Doctor? What can you possibly expect for in return?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: Solving a puzzle is its own reward for me.
- Det. Nicholas 'Nick' Knight: Are you sure?
- Dr. Natalie Lambert: [smirks] Oh yes.
