Answers lie in each of us.

But they're so very hard to find.

That's the trade-off, yes.

To inane questions, often enough.

Sadly, yes.

In all of us, Dr. Suresh?

I'd like to hope so.

...Do we know one another? How do you know who I am?

...You don't know me?

Oh this is too good.

Elle Bishop.

Mohinder Suresh. Which you apparently already knew.

Which raises the question of why you find my lack of knowledge of you "good".

It's sarcasm, Dr. Suresh. Doesn't really matter if you remember me or not.

You thought it important enough to give voice to, and yet now you dodge the question. I fear I don't find duplicity a winning trait.

Good day, madam.

I told you, it's sarcasm. It's really not that good considering you were my partner.

But wow. You've got a little bit more of a backbone than the Mohinder I knew had. Hopefully you don't lose that before you start working for daddy.

About the only thing I find less winning than duplicity is another party attempting to drag on a conversation whose end I have already signalled. That is generally what one means when one wishes someone else a good day. Perhaps that wasn't clear. So allow me to be clear now:

I wish no further conversation with you. I will engage you no further, for whatever it is you're attempting to push--I'm not interested.

Good day, madam

You believe so?

Truly. Both figuratively and literally, I believe.

What are the questions?

The same ones as ever. Why are we here? What is our purpose? Why are some of us different, and what's to be done with those differences? What's our destiny?

Well, then, of course we all have those answers in us. No one else can answer those questions for us.
