WESLEY: Sleep disorders, Edelmyer complex, Eldritch causes, Empaths.

FRED: Hey, they don't just do sleep here. Madeline Chu in accounting, she had her ennui removed. Hey, here it is. Lorne's sleep. Now I just have to find the delivery device.

WESLEY: This isn't good. The effects of long-term sleeplessness on the subconscious mind of an empath can be catastrophic.

FRED: Catastrophic sounds not good.

WESLEY: Under normal conditions, Lorne has the ability to read people's destinies. But now I think he's writing them.

FRED: So, what, instead of receiving, he's transmitting?

FRED: What do you mean, manifest?
