Doc
- Doc: So, how did that make you feel?
- Rick: You don't *feel* anything.
- Doc: You didn't feel anything?
- Rick: No.
- Doc: You felt nothing.
- Rick: I felt nothing during the interrogation.
- Doc: During the interrogation?
- Rick: I centered myself. I compartmentalized. I felt calm and relaxed.
- Doc: Calm and relaxed. So you did feel something.
- Rick: No.
- Doc: How do you feel now?
- [the sound of a door closing causes Rick to quickly look behind him]
- Rick: Followed.
- Doc: There's a checklist for coping with pain. Did you know that?
- Rick: But I'm not in pain.
- Doc: No?
- Rick: No. It's more like boredom.
- Doc: In what way?
- Rick: Like movies are boring. Music is boring. Sex is boring. My life is boring. Like this conversation we're having right now is boring!
- Doc: Then why are you here?
- Rick: You know why - orders... because of what happened.
- Doc: What *happened*?
- Rick: Nothing! Nothing happened. Strictly by the book.
- Doc: I just want to help you become a productive member of society again, Rick. That's why I'm here - to help you through this awkwardness.
- Rick: Awkwardness? Cold sweats, nightmares, drinking myself to sleep?
- Doc: We can get through this. All I want you to tell me is the truth.
- Rick: The truth. You want the truth. The truth was in her eyes. The truth is, I wanted her. The truth is, I made her hate me. The truth is, there was a strength in her that I admired. The truth is, she was committed to her ideals. The truth is, what I did to her makes me a bad person. THE TRUTH IS, I WAS ORDERED TO ABUSE HER!
- [after brutally interrogating the prisoner, Rick removed Ayesha's hood to see the woman he had been demanding answers from had been tightly gagged the entire time]
- Doc: Did it disturb you to find out to find out the subject was gagged?
- Rick: No. Of course not.
- Doc: How did you expect her to answer with a gag in her mouth?
- Rick: You're missing the point entirely. The gag was part of the plan.
- Doc: The subject you were attempting to interrogate was gagged... intentionally? What *was* the plan?
- Rick: I intended to create a state of cognitive disodence.
