Dr. Walter Bishop Talks to Kids - Fringe

Walter, at the Boston Children's Science Center, is explaining to a group of young children how sailors died circumnavigating the globe and how there are monsters under beds. From "What Lies Below", season 2 episode 13.

Transcript below:

SCIENCE CENTER WORKER: May I help you?

ASTRID: Yes, uh, I'm looking for someone who seems to have gotten lost.

SCIENCE CENTER WORKER: Okay, what school is he from?

ASTRID: He's not from any school. He's a man. His name is Doctor Walter Bishop.

SCIENCE CENTER WORKER: Hmm, I see. A special needs individual.

ASTRID: Heh, you have no idea.

WALTER: When the Victoria, the last surviving ship, returned to its harbor of departure after the first circumnavigation of the Earth, only 18 of the original 237 men were on board.

GIRL: What happened to them?

WALTER: They all died, young lady. Horrible and most likely painful deaths. You see, when you open new doors, there is a price to pay. Now imagine... tonight, you look under your bed, and, lo and behold, you find a monster! And you're immediately eaten. Now, if you hadn't looked for the monster, you wouldn't have found it, and you'd still be happy in your beds, instead of being slowly digested in the stomach sack of the creature. But, with any luck, your sisters or your brothers might have heard your screams, and your endeavor will serve as a valuable lesson for them.

TEACHER: Excuse me, do you work here?

WALTER: No, I'm a -- a season pass holder. But thank you. Doctor Walter Bishop. They had no right to revoke my membership. No right.

ASTRID: Walter, you terrified those kids.

WALTER: These children should know the truth.

ASTRID: Hello. Agent Dunham?

WALTER: They're tragically coddled and ill-advised.

ASTRID: Have you already told Peter? Okay... we'll be there right away. Come on.
