John Reese:
You really are sure she's alive.

Root:
You know about Schrodinger's Cat? There's a cat trapped in a box with something lethal. There's a 50% chance the cat's been killed, but until you open the box, there's no way to know one way or the other. Quantum physics says before you open the box, the cat isn't dead or alive. It's both.

John Reese:
What about after you open the box?

Root:
Reality collapses back onto itself. Cat's either alive, or it's dead.

John Reese:
Well, we're gonna see reality soon. But you don't bet against Shaw.

Root:
No. Nothing kills that cat.
