Yrsa: I know who birthed you. Angelica Turing. Don't you ever be in touch with that bastard again.
Riley: Why?
Yrsa: He and that bitch were collaborators. They hunted our kind for BPO. They worked with Whispers. They would give birth to clusters and use them to find others.
Riley: But he tried to help us...
Yrsa: And now you trust him. If your boy is connected to Jonas, it won't be long till Whispers will find you.

Mi: My child. So beautiful and strong. I'll always love you. Remember to be careful, child. They are afraid of you, and they will hurt you if they find out.
Sun: Find out?
Angelica: What you are.
Sun: What am I?
Angelica: The future.

Riley: Why didn't the charter just announce to the world that Homo sensoriums exist?
Old: Look, we all know sapiens. I mean, some of my best friends are sapiens. When sapiens feel safe, they're the nicest people you could meet. However, feed their inner demons, frighten them, find reasons for them to divide themselves from otherness, and then watch those selfsame sapiens drop bombs on whole cities, drive planes into buildings and happily herd millions of their own kind into gas chambers. And that's just what they would do to each other. What wouldn't they do to a totally different species?

Nomi: This guy's about as intersting as a mouthful of sawdust. He doesn't even have any porn stashed away.

Sun: If you don't mind, I prefer to think you are a hallucination

Amanita: Well, that doesn't sound sinister at all.

Capheus: Who can say if it is we who make the choice, or the choice that makes us?

Aunt: I don't know everything that happened in your past, but I'm aware my husband made his choices. And you made him pay for them.
Wolfgang: So are you here to forgive me or make me pay?
Aunt: One day I suspect you will pay a price for your choices, as my husband and his son paid for theirs. But, rest assured, the finger on the trigger will not be mine.

Police: This isn't a movie or TV show.

The: Hello, Nomi Marks.
Nomi: You know who I am?
The: We've had our eyes on you.
Nomi: That's kind of cool and kind of creepy.
The: Yeah, it sounded a little stalkery. Didn't mean it like that.

Will: If there's another species of Homo sapien, how can it be a secret?
Jonas: Secrets are important to their species. Secrets are the center of their identities, of their societies. Secrets maintain their hierarchies. To reveal this secret, that there is another kind of human, one whose existence threatens the very foundation of their reality... No, they'll never allow that

Jonas: Watch a flock of birds or a shoal of fish move as one and you glimpse where we came from. Ask how aspen trees feel trauma hundreds of miles apart, or how a mushroom can understand the needs of a forest you'd begin to grasp what we are. Our kind has been here since the beginning. In all likelihood, we *were* the beginning. What I want is to make sure we're there at the end.

Will: Excuse me. I'm just having some trouble sleeping. Uh, what kind of sleeping pills do you guys sell over the counter?
Convenience: Somulex. That's my drug, bro. With a shot of bourbon, totally knocks me out. Bam! But don't tell anyone I told you that, 'cuz, like, you're not supposed to take any liquor with it. But I totally dig the buzz. And it gives me major totally fucked up dreams.
Will: Well, fucked up dreams I got plenty of.
Convenience: You should do these training courses. They taught us that drugs are like shoes. Everyone needs them, but they don't always fit.

Gunnar: I've been watching you on the internet. You've had a lot of shows. Doing well.
Riley: Oh, it's nothing, just playing records for drunk people trying to get laid.
Gunnar: Playing Beethoven's the same, you know. The people are mostly to old and tired to bother with the getting laid part.

Nomi: I've been thinking about my life, and all of the mistakes that I've made. The ones that stay with me, the ones that I regret, are the ones that I made because of fear. For a long time, I was afraid to be who I am because I was taught by my parents that there's something wrong with someone like me. Something offensive, something you would avoid, maybe even pity. Something that you could never love. My mom, she's a fan of St. Thomas Aquinas. She calls pride a sin. And of all the venal and mortal sins, St. Thomas saw pride as the queen of the seven deadlies. He saw it as the ultimate gateway sin that would turn you quickly into a sinaholic. But hating isn't a sin on that list. Neither is shame. I was afraid of this parade because I wanted it so badly to be a part of it. So today, I'm marching for that part of me that was once afraid to march and for all the people who can't march - the people who living lives like I did. Today, I march to remember that I'm not just a me but I'm also a we. And we march with pride.

Kang: I am not a good person but when your mother was alive I was a better person. She made me better. When she died I thought that part of me died with her. But it didn't. It is right here. My company, my wealth, even my reputation is meaningless without my daughter. I am going to tell the truth.

Nomi: The real violence, the violence I realized was unforgivable, is the violence that we do to ourselves, when we're too afraid to be who we really are.

Riley: Have you heard of the Hidden People? In Iceland, there are small people, like elves, who live in the land. When I was young, I went into a cave and I heard one singing. She was singing a song my mother used to sing to me when I was young. It's quite a terrible song about a mother having to kill her baby, but I always found it so comforting. I heard her voice several times over the years. She told me I was born with a hex, and that if I stayed in Iceland, bad things would happen to me, and to the people that I loved. And then my mother died, and... and I believed it was my fault.

Don: Art is like Religion. For the believers, it's everything. For anyone else, it's just a pile of stinking bullshit.

Psychologist: You know, for some people, snow brings on a very specific feeling. Uh, some love it. It feels clean and pure, like a fresh start or a beginning. For others, it's frightening. Cold and silent and isolating. What are you thinking about when you look at the snow?
Young: That I'm gonna have to shovel it.

Hernando: [Lito is driving] Lito, you're going to have an accident...
Lito: [Gets cut off] Oh you did not. Excuse me! I - You - You tacky, cheap weave, plastic-titted whore! I see you! I see you!

Lito: I'm afraid I will lose everything that I've worked for.
Nomi: I know how that feels. But at a certain point, I realized there's a huge difference between what we work for and what we live for.

Sun: Call me a bitch one more time...
Capheus: ...And I will kill you.

Kala: The first time I went into a house like this in Bombay they had no beds, but they had a television as big as this. I mean, how can a TV be more important than a bed?
Capheus: Ah, that's simple. The bed keeps you in a slum. The flat screen takes you out.

Sun: This is what life is. Fear, rage, desire... love. To stop feeling emotions, to stop wanting to feel them, is to feel death.
Kala: What would you suggest I do?
Sun: I take everything I'm feeling, everything that matters to me... I push all of it into my fist, and I fight for it.

Will: You keep using "us" and "them". Who are we?
Jonas: Who we are is less relevant than what we are, and what we are is different from them.

Sun's: What is wrong with you? Never have I seen you this unfocused before. You are of two minds.
Sun: [to herself] At least.

Daniela: I know your kind. Men that mistake cruelty for strength. Living your petty little lives, so limited. We both know that if I were to pull this trigger, not a single person would shed a tear. The smallness of your kind is nothing to fear, only to pity.

Steiner: [Holds up the diamonds] Look at this. Would any of you suck cock for this?
Steiner's: Sure.
Steiner: That's why you and cock-sucking Felix and Wolfie are all fucking idiots, and I'm the only one with some fucking brains here!

Amanita: Impossibility is a kiss away from reality.

Yrsa: When we lost one of our cluster, I thought the pain would destroy me. But life holds onto you. And sometimes, it finds a way to push back into your heart. And if you're lucky it gives us another chance.
Riley: And what if you don't want another chance?
Yrsa: If you didn't, you wouldn't have come looking for me.

Amanita: [Referring to breaking the oil line in the car to create a distraction] Men cannot stand to see a beautiful car in trouble.
Nomi: It's some kind of primal instinct. I mean, look at you, you're hesitating.
Will: It's a really nice car.
Nomi: See?
[Will breaks the oil line]
BPO: [after the car has arrived at BPO, and is seriously smoking] Such a shame!
BPO: It's a '14.
BPO: It's only a year old, man!

Will: My God, I'm losing my mind.
Jonas: No, It's just expanding.

Lito: This isn't going to work.
Daniela: This isn't work. It's just a little harmless sex.

Hernando: First, I have to admit that the closest I've come to executing a military strategy was gaining tenure at my university, but it seems that what this plan needs is a Trojan horse.
Puck: Uh, I'm not really sure how that's going to help us, mate, but a couple of Trojans right here.
[Pulls out a pack of condoms]
Hernando: No. No, that wasn't quite what I had in mind.

Nomi: That locker room might have made my father the man that he is, but it also made me the woman that I am. After that, I quit the swim club. I quit trying to fit in, trying to be one of them. I knew I never would be. But more importantly, I didn't want to be. Their violence was petty and ignorant, but ultimately, it was true to who they were. The real violence, the violence I realized was unforgivable, is the violence we do to ourselves when we're too afraid to be who we really are.

The: If you accept this offer, there may come a day when we ask something of you.
Nomi: What?
The: Nothing venal, vile or vainglorious. Rather a vital vertex of virtue, valor and virtuosity in the name of veracity.
Amanita: Wow. Did you just come up with that yourself?
The: No. There's an app for it.

Old: What a charming little empty box you've chosen here. All the modern amenities of a prison cell.
Riley: Where are you visiting from?
Old: I call it my speakeasy 'cause you can speak easy in here. Soundproofing. Eighteen inches thick.
Riley: All the modern amenities of a coffin.

Jonas: I'm not the enemy, Will.
Will: Quite a few governments; including this one; says you are.

Clinic: What name should I use?
Wolfgang: [Thinks] Conan.
Clinic: Is that a first name, a last name?
Wolfgang: Yes.

Croome: How much do you know about BPO?
Nomi: Biologic Preservation Organization. Began in the early '60s by...
Will: ...Ruth El-Saadawi.
Croome: An incredible woman. One of the great scientific minds of our time. She believed sapiens and sensorium to be obligate mutualisms, dependent on one another for survival. BPO was founded by her and dedicated to her vision of natural and ethical balance.
Riley: That doesn't sound like the same organization we know from Iceland.
Croome: No.
Will: So what changed?
Croome: The same thing that changed for the rest of the world 9/11. The end of the Cold War mutated into the endless War on Terror. And whether we're talking about spies or terrorists, sensates, by their nature, are a threat to secrecy and sovereignty.

Kala: What can I do to aid the recovery?
Doctor: Well, your husband needs love. You're just married. Love cures all ills. Well, most. Well, some.

Anton: Life is just 5 things: eating, drinking, shitting, fucking and fighting for more.
