Quotes
-
Cara Coburn : You think you're a freak. You're not. Stephen, you're on the brink of becoming someone truly extraordinary.
John Young : Don't let it go to your head.
-
John Young : Teleporting in your sleep is just the beginning.
Russell Kwon : It's kind of like a paranormal wet dream.
John Young : By the time we're done with your training...
John Young : [jaunts to behind Stephen] Ultra won't be able to lay a hand on you.
Russell Kwon : [sotto voce] Show off.

[last lines]
[lights come on in bathroom, he walks in, reflected in the mirror, takes his Cerebralolol medication out and pours it down the sink]
Stephen Jameson : [V.O] My name is Stephen Jameson.
[in the school hallway, catches up to Astrid]
Stephen Jameson : This is where I go to school.
[John and Cara in their base]
Stephen Jameson : *These* are my friends.
John Young : What happened?
Cara Coburn : Stephen made his decision.
[at Ultra headquarters, escorted up the stairs]
Stephen Jameson : This is where I work...
[and into Dr. Jedikiah Price's office]
Stephen Jameson : ...and this is my new boss.
Stephen Jameson : [aloud] I'm in.
Dr. Jedikiah Price : Welcome aboard, Stephen.
[Jedikiah holds out his hand, Stephen shakes it]
Cara Coburn : [telepathically] I hope you know what you're doing.
Stephen Jameson : [telepathically] Yeah, me too.
-
Stephen Jameson : Uh, how many of you are there?
John Young : Here? You're number 15. Out there? Could be hundreds, thousands.
Cara Coburn : It's a genetic mutation that lies dormant through adolescence. Sometimes it never breaks out.
John Young : Until then, people like you think they're regular saps.
Cara Coburn : Homo sapiens.
Stephen Jameson : As in... human. Uh, if I'm not human, then what the hell am I?
Russell Kwon : You, my friend, are a Homo superior.
Cara Coburn : We didn't pick that name either.
-
John Young : You were right. He is special. But can he find his father?
Cara Coburn : John, you saw what he did. When none of us could use any of our powers. What if Stephen could lead us there himself?
John Young : All right, I get it. He's Moses. You're giving me a complex.
Cara Coburn : Don't be jealous.
John Young : I'm not jealous. Should I be?
Cara Coburn : Thank you. For coming to help us.
John Young : I didn't mean what I said, I was being a dick.
Cara Coburn : I know.
John Young : I'd never let you get hurt.
Cara Coburn : I know.
-
Dr. Jedikiah Price : So you've decided to come home. Did you think he was gonna help you find your promised land? Is that it? It doesn't exist. And even if it did, you're sure as hell never gonna see it.
Stephen Jameson : [Price fires his gun] No!
John Young : [seeing the bullet in mid-air] Stephen, how are you doing that?
Stephen Jameson : I don't know.
John Young : Get us out. Now!
-
Cara Coburn : [breaking into Ultra] I was wondering when you were gonna show up.
John Young : No, you weren't.
Russell Kwon : [catching his breath] Don't worry about me, guys. I'm good.
-
John Young : [after Stephen is abducted by Ultra] There is nothing we can do for him now. We lost him, Cara.
Cara Coburn : No, I lost him. We never should have let him leave. But I can get him back.
John Young : That's not how it works. Going after him, it was a bad idea from the start. You know the rules. We don't expose ourselves to Ultra, not for anyone.
Cara Coburn : He is not just anyone.
John Young : What is it with him? Maybe you spent a little bit too much time in his head. Let yourself get a little bit too close.
Cara Coburn : You said it yourself. Stephen's the key to finding his father, which means he's our best shot for survival.
Russell Kwon : [eavesdropping in the doorway] She's right. I know you dig the whole leader of the rag-tag rebels thing, but living down here, like a bunch of rats, it gets real old, real fast.
-
Tim The Bio computer : I found the car. Would you like to know where he is?
John Young : No.
Cara Coburn : Yes.
Russell Kwon : Yes.
John Young : If you two wanna march straight into Jedikiah's compound, go ahead. But I have spent half my life dodging that sadistic son of a bitch. I am not getting caught by him again.
-
Stephen Jameson : Hey, what do you mean they want us neutralized? Like, killed?
Cara Coburn : The ones Ultra has captured. We can't feel them, track them, commuicate with them.
John Young : It's why we need your help. To find someone. I guess you could call him our leader. He went looking for a place where we won't have to hide, a place that only we can reach. He never came back.
Stephen Jameson : Okay, so Ultra got him.
John Young : It's impossible. He was the strongest of us all. Listen to me, Stephen. If you have inherited just a fraction of those powers...
Stephen Jameson : Inherited? Wait, are you telling me that my lunatic, deadbeat dad was like you?
John Young : He was more than that. He was a hero. And we need you to help us find him.
-
Cara Coburn : We believe that you and your father might share a connection like you and I do.
Stephen Jameson : I haven't even seen the man since I was eight years old.
John Young : You're his son. If anyone can contact him, it's gonna be you.
Stephen Jameson : What if I don't wanna find him? He bailed on us, okay? The same way he bailed on you. He left my mom with two little kids and a stack of bills from some psych hospital.
Cara Coburn : Stephen, he left so that you could have a life. So you'd be safe from Ultra, so that you could grow up human.
John Young : If it weren't for him, you'd be in a cage right now, getting your brain picked apart like a lab rat.
Stephen Jameson : I don't believe you.
John Young : [leading him into another room] Maybe you'll believe this. Pull up his last message, Tim.
Stephen Jameson : Who are you talking to? Who the hell is Tim?
Tim The Bio computer : I am a computer.
Russell Kwon : A.I. program. He's kind of like our HAL. Just... not evil.
-
Stephen Jameson : Okay, okay, wait wait wait, wait. Where are we? How-... Who are you?
John Young : You're in an abandoned subway station 100 feet below the streets of Manhattan. You teleported here. Actually... I teleported you.
Cara Coburn : We're called Tomorrow People. And we didn't choose the name, I swear.
Stephen Jameson : [laughing, seeing the others] This isn't happening. It's just another one of my crazy dreams.
Cara Coburn : [telepathically] It's not a dream, Stephen.
Stephen Jameson : How did you do that?
Cara Coburn : You've heard of telepathy? It's another one of our powers.
John Young : The three Ts, the third being telekinesis.
[Stephen nods humorfully]
Cara Coburn : [to John] He doesn't believe us.
John Young : It's funny, the teleporting usually sells it.
Stephen Jameson : No offense, but any second I'm gonna wake up someplace awful. Maybe another three-way at the neighbors' place.
[John smiles at the thought]
Cara Coburn : You don't understand, Stephen. You're one of us. You're breaking out.
John Young : You're waking up in weird places, Stephen? You're not sleepwalking. You're teleporting. You hear Cara's voice in your head, that's telepathy. Your latent powers are starting to appear. Soon, you'll be able to do this.
[Stephen begins levitating off the floor with no effort whatsoever evident on John's face]
Stephen Jameson : Okay, oka- okay! Okay! Put me down! Put me down!
John Young : You got it.
[Stephen falls into a crouching position. One of the others laughs]
Stephen Jameson : No, no, I'm having a psychotic break. My meds are off or something.
John Young : No, no, no more pills. They're obviously addling your brain.
Cara Coburn : What he means... is the drugs are just going to get in your way.
Stephen Jameson : Get in my way? You have no idea what my year has been like.
Cara Coburn : [with a hurt expression] Stephen, I know *exactly* what it's been like. I know how alone you've felt, how scared. You feel like you're turning into a different person, like your mind isn't your own. All those hours on your therapist's couch? I was there with you, Stephen. When we're connected, I feel what it's like to *be* you.
Stephen Jameson : That sounds, um, awful.
