Vincent: : (with Catherine in the painted tunnels) Your world and mine. She tells our stories on these walls. Reminds us that we are all part of one great city.
Catherine: : She must be an extraordinary woman to take bare, gray walls and fill them with so much color and beauty.
Vincent: : Elizabeth is a mystery even to us. No one knows when she left the world Above or why. She refuses to speak of such things.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : (after explosion rocks tunnel) Most excavations stop well above our levels, but this new tower sinks its roots deep into the earth, deeper than any building has ever gone before.
Catherine: : The Birch Tower?
Vincent: : ...if it is not stopped. Father thinks it will be the end of our world.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elizabeth: : Vincent! Come closer, child! Come see what I have been doing. (Shows painting of Vincent and Erik)
Vincent: : It is as if you saw it with your own eyes.
Elizabeth: : I did in a way. You are not my only visitor, you know. Mouse brings me my paints. Sometimes Mary comes or Sarah. They tell me stories and I put the stories on the wall. So, it is not magic after all. I leave that kind of thing to Narcissa.
Vincent: : You have your own magic.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elizabeth: : ...I am not finished! You have to finish what you start.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elizabeth: : This is my life, Vincent. Here on these walls. You didn't think that I was going to live forever, did you child?

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: : The excavation will reveal at least four levels, possibly five or six. And even if we start sealing up all the surrounding tunnels today, there is no way to minimize the exposure. Evacuation is the only answer.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : Elizabeth says they are her life. Who are we to tell her she is wrong?

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : (about Mouse's plan) Your heart does you credit.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : Sometimes our commitment can blind us.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: : It is all being taken away from us, Vincent. The work of a lifetime. Everything we built, lost.
Vincent: : What is lost can be found again, built again. As long as we have each other our world will survive.
Father: : I wish I could believe that.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Mouse: : Look, just another stupid tower. They've got plenty Uptop. Don't need this one.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elizabeth : (about Mouse) He is a rather odd boy. Have you noticed?

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elliot: : Trust is a two way street.
Catherine: : You can not barter for trust Elliot and I can not tell you what you want to know. I made a promise.
Elliot: : (about Mouse) Why should I let him go?
Catherine: : Because I am asking you to.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : Catherine will not fail us.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: : Mouse is such a wild spirit.
Vincent: : Whatever happens, Mouse will survive. He survived for years by himself. A shadow. Moving about. Stealing bits of food. Watching us.
Father: : Until you caught him. I remember how he kicked and screamed.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: : Mouse, I hope this experience has taught you a lesson.
Mouse: : Yes
Father: : Good
Mouse: : Shouldn't get caught.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : Your heart is full of turmoil.
Catherine: : It's Elliot. It was so easy when I thought I was falling in love and even easier when I was certain that he was evil.
Vincent: : Now, you see him as he truly is good and bad, strong and weak. Capable of great deeds and great wrongs. A human being.
Catherine: : Yes and with human feelings, I feel like I am trading in his feelings.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elliot: : I never felt like this before. After I released your friend, my security foreman called me up and very politely asked me if I have lost my mind.
Catherine: : You did the right thing.
Elliot: : Yeah, I seem to be making a habit of that with you...Cathy, I am in love with you! I have had other relationships, but from the very first moment I set eyes on you, I knew you were different. Then when you walked out of my life-that was really different-and I wanted you twice as much.
Catherine: : Because you could not have me. That is obsession, Elliot, that is not love.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Elliot: : At first, yes... But when you came to me and you needed my help, right then I knew I could make you mine. I know desperation when I see it...When someone has something I want I take it. I go for the win that is what I do, what I am...No, it is what I have become but not that day. Why?
Catherine: : Because you are a decent man who could not turn his back on a friend.
Elliot: : I don't have any friends, Cathy. Somewhere on the way up friends became inconvenient.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : Love can be inconvenient, too.
Elliot: : You don't have to tell me that.Do you think I want to be this out of control? I feel like a 14 year old boy, confused and awkward and scared. I'm never scared, Cathy. I don't aloow myself to be scared. And despite everything, I'd rather be right here with you more than anywhere else on earth. There is nothing I can do about the past, but there is plenty we can do about the future together. Cathy, I'm asking you to marry me.
Catherine: : Elliot.
Elliot: : Don't say anything. Not now. All I ask is for you to think about it, seriously, after you have had a little sleep.
Catherine: : Sleep is not going to change anything...
Elliot: : It might. Give me that much at least. I did not ask for this, Cathy, but it is real and I do love you. And I would do anything in this world to make you happy, if you give me the chance.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : Catherine, no!
Catherine: : I have to. It's the only way. With Luz discredited, nothing stands in the way of the tower. Elliot leaked the story. I'm sure of it. Luz stood in his way, so he removed her, and used me to do it.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : How can you even consider a union with such a man?
Catherine: : He's a human being, strong and weak, good and bad. You said so yourself, Vincent. And he loves me, as much as a man like Elliot can love.
Vincent: : But you do not love this man!
Catherine: : No. But there is more at stake than just me here. The painted tunnels, Elizabeth, Father and Mouse, all the children who have found safety Below. And you, you most of all..Vincent, you have risked your life for me a hundred times. How can I stand by and watch your world be destroyed when I have the power to save it?
Vincent: : I cannot allow you to sacrifice yourself in such a way.
Catherine: : I'm sorry, Vincent, but it's not yor decision. I'm going to marry him. I have to.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : Yes, Elliot, I will marry you.
Elliot: : Oh, that is wonderful! Oh, you won't be sorry.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : I want you to halt construction on the tower.
Elliot: : Stop the ... Is this a joke?
Catherine: : No joke. You said you loved, do anything for me.
Elliot: : O, Cathy. No, no, no. You don't understand. The tower is the most important thing in my life besides you the two of us on top watching down below taking in the sights.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : No! It can't be!
Elliot: : Yes!
Catherine: : It's just a building, Elliot. People are more important than buildings, more important than dreams even...If pick up that phone and stop that tower right now, I will know you believe that too and I will marry you, trust you.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : I thought I would never see your face again. When you walked away from me, there was such resolve in your heart.
Catherine: : That was the hardest thing I have done in my life.
Vincent: : And the noblest.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: : Every step was like a knife inside me. All of my love for you was calling me back.
Vincent: : But a greater love drove you onward. Your strength saved us all. Yet, I share your melancholy.
Catherine: : I was just thinking of Elliot. Vincent, you helped me find the best part of who I am but, Elliot, he has lost more than his tower, he has lost himself.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: (quoting): I met a traveller from an antique land/ Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone/ Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,/ Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown/ And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command/ Tell that its sculptor well those passions read/ Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,/ The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed./ And on the pedestal these words appear: / "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: / Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"/ Nothing beside remains: round the decay/ Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,/ The lone and level sands stretch far away.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: [referring to Vincent's relationship with Catherine] I sometimes feel that I'm standing on the bank of a raging river watching you try to swim across. How can I not worry? I'd be a fool. And yet, Vincent, sometimes I have to marvel at your courage.
Vincent: Catherine swims across that river as well. She faces the same dangers, shows the same courage. And in many ways the toll on her is even greater.
Father: You really think that's so?
Vincent: On the other side of the river there is no one standing on the bank watching. On her side of the river there is no one praying for a safe passage. On her side of the river, Father, there is no one but Catherine.
Father: Then I shall stand watch, and pray, for both of you.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: : Catherine, your mother's memory reminds you of your aloneness. Of the family you lost when she died. Of all the friends you left behind when our paths crossed. Because that secret you carry now, our secret, sets you apart-from your pat, your friends, even from the family you are yet to have, the children waiting to be born. Catherine, the burden you bear with that secret is your aloneness...Know that our bond, our dream, exists at the cost of all your other dreams. Know that, Catherine.
Catherine: : It's worth it.
