Quotes 

• Joan Campbell : Annie? Annie.

  Annie Walker : I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.

  Joan Campbell : What are you working on at this hour?

  Annie Walker : Oh. I was just... uhm, I had some free time, so I was looking through the classifieds in some of the European papers. See if I could find some workable patterns.

  Joan Campbell : We have a room full of computers dedicated to finding workable patterns.

  Annie Walker : [smiles]  Yeah, but, you never know, they might have missed something.

  Joan Campbell : You know, it can be pretty overwhelming, your first few months off the Farm. Maybe you should take a few days off. Clear your head.

  Annie Walker : This is about the dings I got, isn't it? Looking into Ben Mercer and the access denieds. But, really, I'm over that, Joan. All of it.

  Joan Campbell : Wanna talk about the note?

  Annie Walker : What note?

  Joan Campbell : The note that our tech division spent six man-hours analyzing this week.

  Annie Walker : [sighs, takes it out of her desk drawer]  Ben Mercer left me that in Sri Lanka in lieu of saying goodbye.

  [the note reads: The truth is complicated. Forgive me] 

  Annie Walker : I can tell you a lot about it.

  [slight giggle] 

  Annie Walker : The paper is 0.09 millimeters thick. It is made out of ground wood pulp and manufactured in Andhra Pradesh. And handwriting tells me that the strong t-bars and horizontal pressure indicate perseverance, even stubbornness. The only thing I can't tell you about that note... is what the hell it means.

  Joan Campbell : Sometimes, we have to accept that, and move on.

  Annie Walker : You're probably right.

  [nods] 

  Annie Walker : A few days off is probably a good idea.
