Nathan Ford
- Sophie Devereaux: So the salt was Plan B?
- Nathan Ford: Plan M actually.
- Alec Hardison: Don't I die in plan M?
- Nathan Ford: Yeah, usually. Yeah.
- Alec Hardison: What you mean, "usually"? How many plans do I die in?
- Nathan Ford: C, F, and M through Q.
- Nathan Ford: That little weight is what separates a trigger-happy terrorist from a nuke.
- Alec Hardison: Yeah, and because of its precise atomic mass, there's only one. This thing is like the nuclear equivalent of the One Ring.
- Sophie Devereaux: Ring? What ring?
- Nathan Ford: Oh, please. Don't get him started.
- Sophie Devereaux: You're gonna have to beat all these champions to make sure that you and Olivia play in the finals.
- Nathan Ford: Mmhmm.
- Alec Hardison: Yeah, now, these are the grandmasters, Nate. Okay, you're good but not that good.
- Nathan Ford: Ah, I beat you every time, Hardison.
- Alec Hardison: Maybe if you let me use the Vulcan rules like I'm accustomed to... I mean, you're stingy with it, Nate. You're real stingy.
- Alec Hardison: Now, to power a nuke, you need a few thousand gas centrifuges. Each spins uranium fast enough to separate weapons-grade molecules from the less-potent stuff. But if the drum gets off-kilter, it wobbles.
- Nathan Ford: Like a washing machine.
- Alec Hardison: Yeah, except when your washing machine wobbles, it goes "thump, thump." This thing wobbles, it explodes.
