Sydney and young Jarod

Sydney: That is not relevant right now, Jarod. Concentrate on the simulation.

Jarod: But I need to know, Sydney! What if the chicken gets hit by a car before it ever finds out the truth?

Sydney [sighing]: There is no chicken, Jarod. Complete the simulation! [Later, recording notes on DSA] Jarod is becoming more and more stubborn. I am beginning to think we might need to get him some of the answers he seeks. And now he’s making me curious. Why did the chicken cross the road?
