  • It's not like that, Felicity. It's not (Beat) really what you think it is. It's (Beat) more like the other way around. It works the polar opposite of what your guess is (Beat) as to how it truly works. (Beat) I'm trying to help you understand, but do you get it? (Beat) Good. That's good to hear, Felicity. I'm happy to hear that. (Beat) It makes me happy to hear that you know how it works now.

  • *Sighing* Alright. This is where Imogen works (Beat) as a physicist. I had some interactions with her over the past few days or whatever, and... (Beat) yeah. That's how I know she works there. From what else I know of, judging by the research I did some digging through, this is where she lives. That right here, is Imogen's residence. (Beat) That's where she lives, just less than twenty minutes away from where she works. (Beat) Now... all I have to do is (Beat) figure out a plan.

  • I don't know what to make of this. (Beat) I need to think about what just happened for a minute. This is... screwed up. This is just screwed up. (Beat) Piper... (Beat) from what I had just watched... (Beat) I can see why you got sick from it. You said you had to vomit because of this video footage, right? (Beat) Yeah, that's... what I thought. I can easily understand why you had to get up to retrieve a bag, and use it as something to throw up into. Again, this video... footage (Beat) is just... *Sighing* It just goes to show how sick... in the head that Jasper Strouse is. The fact that he had his boss, Ralph, trapped in the oven after using a meat cleaver to cut off his hands, (Beat) gouge out his eyes, (Beat) cut off his feet, (Beat) and castrate him (Beat) is... hard to fully process in how... brutal that is. And not to mention, that was also after Ralph had his entire body covered from... (Beat) top to bottom with cooking oil, leaving him more vulnerable to the heat of the oven once it was turned on (Beat) after Jasper had locked him inside of it. To top it all off, (Beat) Ralph was (Beat) hysterically screaming in pain... (Beat) as he was (Beat) literally being cooked alive. But nobody was able to save him, (Beat) because Jasper had locked the door from inside, meaning it couldn't be opened from the outside, (Beat) especially since he had the keys, which had belonged to Ralph, but were stolen from him by Jasper (Beat) during the attack. I still... don't know what to think of this footage, Piper. I still don't know what to think of it.
