Evelyne Brochu: Delphine Cormier

Quotes 

• [Delphine tells Cosima the tag number of her synthetic sequence] 

  Cosima Niehaus : Okay, here's the synthetic sequence. And this is the differentiated portion.

  Delphine Cormier : Yes, this is an encrypted I.D. tag. It's how they tell you apart.

  Cosima Niehaus : Okay. But how-how to decode it? I have four nucleotides to work with... G, C, T, and A... And no idea how they're encrypted. I mean, there's thousands of permutations and we're running out of time.

  Delphine Cormier : Yes, but I know your tag number.

  Cosima Niehaus : You do?

  Delphine Cormier : Yes, I saw it many times. It's numeric, so, if we know how that translates, then we can figure out the rest.

  Cosima Niehaus : Okay. What is it?

  Delphine Cormier : It's 324b21.

  Cosima Niehaus : 324b21. Right. I'm 324b21.

  Delphine Cormier : [Cosima sighs]  I'm sorry.

• [Cosima and Delphine make way into breaking the synthetic sequences] 

  Cosima Niehaus : Okay. Okay, think. We're molecular-encoding, from 30 years ago.

  Delphine Cormier : Yes, but we're looking at it from now.

  Cosima Niehaus : Of course. They weren't coding nucleotides.

  Delphine Cormier : It was whole base pairs?

  Cosima Niehaus : Not four letters, but two, AT and GC.

  Delphine Cormier : [Delphine smiles]  Ones and zeros.

  Cosima Niehaus : [Cosima smiles]  Binary. They were coding in ASCII!

• [Delphine shows up at Felix's doorstep] 

  Felix Dawkins : Oh. Well, now, I get it.

  Delphine Cormier : Um, is Cosima...? Is sh...

  Felix Dawkins : [Felix calls out for Cosima]  It's Delphine! She's got baggage!

• [Cosima learns that the clones are property] 

  Cosima Niehaus : [Cosima reads on her computer]  'This organism and derivative genetic material is restricted intellectual property'.

  Delphine Cormier : [when Cosima looks to Delphine]  I'm sick, Delphine.

  [as Cosima cries]
