A.D.A. Casey Novak: [about Marilyn Nesbit after Dr. Huang talks to her] How can she be reading the paper as if nothing happened?

Dr. George Huang: Absolutely. Adam always obeyed her and so he was good. Jacob didn't, so that made him bad.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: So she doesn't really love them?
Dr. George Huang: It's a twisted, narcissistic kind of love.
