Here is the quote of the week:

LARRY
In cosmology, the Arrow of Time
simply points in the direction of
expansion; if the universe decides to
contract one day... well...

ROBIN
The past will come looking for us
whether we want it to or not?

LARRY
Cosmologists argue that the future
will continue to point in the same
direction...
(beat)
... but perhaps the universe has a
more open mind.

This weeks quote: (sorry I didn't post last weeks!)

LARRY
Very good. This isn't about
numerics, but Numerology. Consider
when the Beijing Olympics began.

COLBY
August.

LARRY
More precisely, eight seconds past
8:08 on August 8, 2008. The Chinese
organizers wanted good fortune for
the games and eight is their
luckiest, most auspicious number.

The weekly quote from Sneakerhead:

CHARLIE
I can use a Wavelet Analysis to
supersmooth rapid word combinations.

DON
Start with words we understand.

CHARLIE
Every spoken word contains phonemes -
sounds inherent in human speech.
Voice Recognition is based on that...

DAVID
It keys on sounds within words
instead of the words themselves...

The featured quote from "Greatest Hits":

ALAN
They're making progress...

CHARLIE
We found the point of convergence.
(a nod toward Bloom)


((This was pretty funny!))

Here is the quote from the Season 5 finale (Angel and Devils):

LARRY
No... it's a puzzle.

And he assembles the pieces --

LARRY (cont'd)
Six piece puzzles dating from the
1800s... traditionally, notched wood
that assembles into the form of a
seed burr --

-- into a remarkably snug-fitting BURR PUZZLE --

CHARLIE
(spitballing)
Bill Cutler proved that there are 25
possible notchable pieces to make
solid six-piece burrs -- and they can
be assembled 314 ways...

EDGERTON
Great -- he's not a psycho, he's a
puzzle fan.
