• [Jenny shops around the clock store, as she hears the music of a clock play beside her] 

  Jack : [Jenny looks over to see the man Jack standing next to it, the clock continues to play beside him]  That's what I would buy for the man in my life.

• [the detectives hope that Carter isn't too nuts to stand trial] 

  Lt. Terri : Well, let's hope he's not too nuts.

  Jenny : What do you mean?

  Lt. Terri : Too nuts to go to jail.

  Jack : You mean, he might not go to jail?

  Lt. Terri : First, we gotta find out if he's competent to stand trial. Even if he is, any smart lawyer'll plead him not guilty by reason of insanity. And, depending on what Waldheim finds out, Carter could wind up a celebrity mental case in some cushy institution.

• [Dr. Waldheim returns to Lt. Terri's office, confirming Carter is Cain] 

  Lt. Terri : Carter is Cain?

  Dr. Waldheim : And Josh and Margo and God knows who else. Now it is clear to me... how Dr. Nix got all his precise data. He traumatized his own son. Then over the years, he observed the effects.

  Jenny : Does Carter know what he did?

  Dr. Waldheim : Carter didn't do anything. Cain did all the killing.

  Jack : Who is Cain?

  Dr. Waldheim : One of Carter's multiples. One of the ones Dr. Nix created when he abused him as a child. When something bad is about to happen to Carter, or when something bad has to be done, Carter blacks out and Cain takes over. After the unpleasantness, Cain exits and Carter wakes up. He has lost some time. He doesn't remember how he got where he is... or what happened while he was asleep. He may be confused, but his conscience is clean.
