Dominic: I don't like it.
DeWitt: Good. It's your job not to like it, Mr. Dominic. But Senator Boxbaum is more than just a valued client, he's a well placed asset. Denying his request would have a steeper downside than acquiescing.
Dominic: It's not the job. I'm confident Langton can handle the ATF. It's Echo. Her field response has been wildly erratic lately.
DeWitt: She's demonstrated a talent for adaptability, which is precisely what's required in this instance.
Dominic: They shouldn't be adaptable, they should be predictable. If Alpha didn't teach us that much?
DeWitt: You don't like Echo, do you Mr. Dominic?
Dominic: It's not that I don't like her. It's sometimes I worry you do.
DeWitt: Your objections have been noted. Thank you, Mr. Dominic.

Topher : The actual procedure isn't any more complicated than laser eye correction, it ain't brain surgery.
Dr. Saunders: Actually, it is brain surgery. We're going to be turning Echo into a human camera, and in order to do that, she's going to have to be made blind.
Topher : Not permanently. [Dr. Saunders shoots him a look] In theory.
DeWitt: So this is it?
Topher : Yes. The latest in CSEVP: Cortical Stimulation for Evocation of Visual Perception.
Dr. Saunders: Brain camera for the blind.
Topher : Or that.

DeWitt: Why didn't you tell us you were setting up Hearn?
Boyd: He had to be clear. He had to be flush with success or he'd never have tried again.
DeWitt: You will never take action like that on your own again inside these walls. Am I clear?
Boyd: You're clear.
DeWitt: A bonus has been wired to your account.
Boyd: I don't need a bonus.

DeWitt: Can you imagine at all why it is that you're not dead?
Hearn: You've probably got something worse planned. Are you going to erase my brain, turn me into one of your fantasy boys?
DeWitt: I find it a bit sad that you think of yourself as a candidate for anyone's fantasy.
Hearn: You know you're sweet on me.
[Dominic punches him in the ear.]

Echo: The dollhouse is real. They know you're after them and they're going to have you taken off the case. That's why they sent me.
Paul: Why are you telling me this?
Echo: We have a person inside. This person corrupted the imprint while the programmer wasn't looking, added this parameter.
Paul: Is this the person that sent me the tapes and the picture?
Echo: No. This is their first communication. Security inside is very tight.
Paul: Where is it?
Echo: You can't know that. You're going about this the wrong way.
Paul: I have to take down the dollhouse!
Echo: There are over twenty dollhouses in cities around the world. They have ties to every major political power on the planet. You cannot possibly stop them alone.
Paul: You're going to help me?
Echo: The person that sent this message is.
Paul: Why?
Echo: The dollhouse deals in fantasy. That is their business, but that is not their purpose.
Paul: What is?
Echo: We need you to find out. We'll contact you again, if possible with the same body. But you have to let the dollhouse win, make them back off. You have to trust me.

Joel Mynor: She never got to see this house. So, every year on this date I pretend she does. I get to see that look on her face, and I get to show her our extraordinary home.
Paul: And then you sleep with her.
Joel Mynor: Well, it is a fantasy.
Paul: I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Mynor. But it doesn't make you anything other than a predator.
Joel Mynor: Well, I'm sure I'm in serious need of some moral spankitude, but guess who's not qualified to be my Rabbi?

DeWitt: Are you making any progress?
Topher: I'm working! What are you doing, besides ... being ...
DeWitt: Being what?
Topher: Wait a minute.
DeWitt: Sarcastic? Unfeeling? British?
Topher: It's an animal.
DeWitt: Where?
Topher: No! The word!
DeWitt: Still you have to admit I am very British. I don't say hard ... 'Rs'
Topher: You know what I like? Brown Sauce? What's it made of? Science doesn't know!
DeWitt: It's made of brown.
Topher: Brown...mined from the earth by the hard scrabble brown miners of north Brownderton!

Dominic: I's easy to be attached to your assigned active. In fact it's necessary, but don't think of them as children; think of them as pets.
Dr. Saunders: Is that supposed to be funny?
Dominic: When your child Starts talking for the first time, you feel proud. When your dog does, you freak the hell out. Any Developmental progress an active makes is a threat to the house and a possible first step toward another Alpha.

Topher: I found this in the chair.
Boyd: And?
Topher: This chip let someone access the primary imprint protocol, which means they could have altered my imprints. I make a cheerleader. They make a cheerleader that shoots people! Or an assassin that does cheers! Or any active, any time, with a parameter we don't know about.
Boyd: We have a spy.
Topher: Inside the dollhouse.
Boyd: You think it's me? You think I'm the spy?
Topher: Not in a bad way.

Echo: Everyone's unhappy today.
Topher : Somebody put her tiny little thinking cap on!
Echo: He was mean to you. Were you not your best?
Topher: If it hadn't been for me, there'd still be a security breach. You'd think the security head would recognize that! Typical middle management hack. He's mad at me for not discovering it before it happened, but I'm not a counter-intelligence agent, so I can't catch a spy. And you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Echo: I can help you.
Topher: Why would you want to?
Echo: Why wouldn't I?
Topher: Did I just lose an argument to a doll? Okay, thanks, but you can't help.

Echo: I can take care of myself.
Dominic: I know. That's why I'm smiling, because one day you'll be erasing them, and even after all this they still won't see it coming. Sooner or later, everybody gets theirs.

Echo: [as Margaret] This is... soooo... stunning! Really! Last thing I remember is coming here a month ago for that dreadful process of yours.
DeWitt: Well, if we'd spoken in the meantime, I'd've been able to tell you about the last three weeks of your life, but...
Echo: [as Margaret] Well, this way I don't have to remember dying.
DeWitt: Undoubtedly a plus.
Echo: [as Margaret] God, it's all a plus! More life! And this body! [almost feeling herself up] Nice work, Addie! I'm pointing to the sky! [they both laugh] A shame it's only a loaner.
DeWitt: That was always the deal.
Echo: [as Margaret] I swear I've never felt this good. Did being young feel this good?
DeWitt: I seem to recall it was rather nice. Wonder why we gave it up?
Echo: [as Margaret] Please! You're what, ten years younger than me?
DeWitt: And oddly fifteen years older. [firmly] Just remember -- it's temporary.
Echo: [as Margaret] Just a chance to indulge my curiosity. See my own funeral. Who wouldn't want that?
DeWitt: To hear what the world really thought of us? To count out the number who love us?
Echo: [as Margaret] Addie. Are you all right?
DeWitt: Well, let's see... my friend just died.
Echo: [as Margaret] [smiling] Come on. We've got a funeral to go to. Then, maybe, you can help me wrap this up.
DeWitt: Wrap this up... your life?

[Boyd walks into DeWitt's office and says...]
Boyd: Eternal life.
DeWitt: Nice adjective. Excellent noun. Is there more?
Boyd: Is that something we offer, now?
[looks around and hesitates as Adelle's secretary walks in with Adelle's morning tea, haltingly continuing]
Boyd: Because... If it is, thats... You realize...That's the beginning of the end. Life everlasting. It's.. it's the ultimate quest. Christianity, most religion, morality.... doesn't exist, without the fear of death.
DeWitt: I'm not planning on presiding over the end of Western Civilization. This is a one-time situation.
Boyd: You know that you're asking her to voluntarily die, when the time comes.
DeWitt: Well, if she resists I have a new head of security who handles that kind of thing.
Boyd: Mmmm. Yes, ma'am. [turns and begins to leave]
DeWitt: You can still help Echo, you know... Tell me your take on this.
Boyd: First instinct. Follow the money.
DeWitt: That's not easy.
Boyd: It is when the money runs. I've looked into the horses. One of them -- King's Ransom -- was a Derby contender not long ago.
DeWitt: So the husband stands to make a bundle.
Boyd: So does the buyer. I thought I'd send someone to look around the stables... A breeder, with a naturally curious streak....?

Boyd: One other thing, Miss DeWitt. Are you aware of this 'Topher' situation?
DeWitt: [smiles] Yessss. There's no need to address the issue with him. I allow him one of these "diagnostic" tests every now and again.
Boyd: Well, I guess Topher can make friends...
[as they continue talking in voiceover, we see Sierra bringing a Twinkie with birthday candles to Topher in his office]
DeWitt: Loneliness leads to nothing good, only detachment. And sometimes the people who most need to reach out are the people least capable of it. In any case, it only happens once a year.
