[Rorschach enters Doctor Manhattan's lab]

Doctor Manhattan:
[continuing his work unfazed] Good evening, Rorschach.

Rorschach:
Doctor Manhattan. You know why I'm here.

Doctor Manhattan:
Yes... [powers up device] but you're going to leave disappointed.

Laurie:
Rorschach! [enters room] You shouldn't be here, you're a wanted man.

Rorschach:
Nice to see you too, Silk Spectre.

Laurie:
I have a real name I've been using a couple years now. Try it.

Rorschach:
Whatever you say... Laurie.

Laurie:
What are you doing here?

Doctor Manhattan:
The Comedian is dead. Rorschach wants me to look into my future; see if the killer is ever publicly identified.

Rorschach:
Already warned Dreiberg. Came to warn you too.

Doctor Manhattan:
Even if I wanted to help, my future is blocked by some kind of temporal interference. I cannot see it clearly.

Laurie:
Interference? Caused by what?

Doctor Manhattan:
In all likelihood... nuclear holocaust. If the United States and Soviet Union engage in all-out war, the resulting blast wave would produce a sudden burst of tachyons, particles which travel backwards through what you perceive as time, therefore obscuring my vision of the present. I must return to my work. [turns away]

Rorschach:
Wait a minute. What if that's why someone wants us out of the way? So we can't do anything to stop it?

Doctor Manhattan:
Goodbye, Rorschach.

Rorschach:
Took a lot of effort to get in here to see you. I'm not leaving... [Doctor Manhattan transports him back outside] ...till I've had my say. Hurm.
