- Shane McInerney: What are you thinking about Oliver? What's bothering you?
- Oliver O'Toole: Oh uh, well Doug at the hotel assumed the woman at the counter was our little dinosaur boy's mother but...
- Shane McInerney: In the words of the great Oliver O'Toole... Norman?
- Norman: Any mistake can be traced to an assumption.
- [From scene not shown in the US. They are back at the DLO after the road trip was over. Norman is in his lab]
- Rita: Hi, whatcha doing?
- Norman: I got it Rita, I got it to stabilize.
- Rita: Of course you did. You just needed a little more time.
- Norman: Hey what do you got there?
- Rita: Uh, it's a report from your adoption agency.
- Norman: How did you get that?
- Rita: Shane, the hacker queen.
- Norman: Did you read it?
- Rita: No, of course not.
- Norman: Will you read it with me?
- Rita: Of course. Okay. 'Preliminary placement evaluation of Norman Doe approximately six years old. Child was abandoned at the national western stock show at the date and time noted above wearing a red cowboy hat and the name Norman printed on the inside.' Okay. Etc. Etc. Here we go. 'Norman displays a remarkable ability to adapt to most situations with a unique and unpredictable perspective while expressing remarkable forbearance and kindness to his peers. Norman's unusually high IQ, see attached form, is uniquely balanced by a keen inner emotional life which while certainly sets him apart from the others strongly suggests success in future endeavors involving problem-solving and abstract thought.'
- Norman: Wow, I'm abstract.
- Rita: Yeah. And there's more. 'His only other challenges so far appear to be difficulty using tricycles, bicycles and other wheeled vehicles.' Oh! 'He had an unfortunate collision with a unicycle during group play.' Do you remember that?
- Norman: I do, I remember now. I was trying to ride my unicycle up the slide on the playground and it flipped and hit me right here.
- [Points to a spot on his head]
- Rita: Oh.
- [Rita gives him a hug]
- Norman: Okay. Time to face one more scary. Rita can I borrow your car to take my driver's test?
- Rita: Yes!
- [Walk out of the room holding hands]
- Rita: Why were you trying to go up the slide?
- Norman: Uh, I think it had something to do with trying to get my brain closer to the rays of the sun.
- Rita: Awe...
- Shane McInerney: [Reading a compatibility quiz to Norman and Rita] How do you plan to handle your finances?
- Norman: What finances, we work for the Post Office?
