- Ella: Don't you know? All good stories start with "Once upon a time" and end with "Happily Ever After"

- Peter Bishop: So what made you wanna be a detective?
- Olivia Dunham: I don't know. Uh, I, Uh... I guess that I just always knew what it was I was meant to do.
- Peter Bishop: And what's that?

- Peter Bishop: [as Miles Davis' Freddie the Freeloader plays...] Do you like jazz?
- Olivia Dunham: Jazz?
- Peter Bishop: Miles, Duke, Louie, John Coltrane. You can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. And whether or not they dance.
- Olivia Dunham: Jazz- not so much, but dancing? Sure.
- Peter Bishop: Well, I guess we're opposites. I hate to dance. I'd take you though.
- Olivia Dunham: You would? Why's that?
- Peter Bishop: I don't know. Seems like it'd be fun. You look like a good dancer.
