Quotes
-
Wyatt Logan : Went through a lot of trouble to keep this zombie alive. Be a shame if I put a bullet in his brain right now.
Emma Whitmore : I was really hoping you were dead.
Wyatt Logan : Sorry to disappoint.
-
Wyatt Logan : We can either shoot it out, or we can both walk away with the person we came here for. Drop the gun.
Emma Whitmore : Drop yours first.
Wyatt Logan : I'm gonna be real clear. You let Lucy go, or he dies right now.
Carol Preston : [Emma lets Lucy go] You knew they were alive and you kept it from me.
Lucy Preston : Just... come with us.
Carol Preston : What?
Lucy Preston : Come with us, mom. I would forgive you for every horrible thing that you did for them if you just... just be with us. Be on the right side of history.
Carol Preston : Lucy, this is so much bigger than you or me.
-
Emma Whitmore : Two days. How much longer do we have to wait around?
Carol Preston : We don't know exactly when he's going to show up. The records are spotty. But we'll wait for him as long as we have to.
Lucy Preston : Who? Why? Is it someone famous?
Carol Preston : His name is Nicholas Keens. And that's really all you need to know.
Emma Whitmore : Maybe Mom doesn't trust you.
Lucy Preston : Because you're so trustworthy? You've lied to, what, everyone you've ever worked with?
Emma Whitmore : I've always been loyal to Rittenhouse, from the start.
Lucy Preston : Unless you're lying now. I mean, how many faces do you really have?
Emma Whitmore : Some of us aren't royalty, princess. Some of us had to work our way up while you were busy running from having everything handed to you.
Lucy Preston : Work your way up to what? Wicked stepsister?
Carol Preston : All right, that's enough. Both of you.
-
Soldier Edward : You're Americans?
Carol Preston : Yes. My daughter and I are volunteers for the American Committee for Devastated France, and Emma is a nurse.
Lucy Preston : A nurse?
Emma Whitmore : Lived alone in a Missouri cabin for ten years. You pick up things.
-
Emma Whitmore : He's crashing. We need the defribilator.
Soldier Edward : The what?
[seeing Emma and Carol gel the paddles]
Soldier Edward : What's that?
Emma Whitmore : Clear.
Lucy Preston : [trying to usher him out] Please, you have to go, okay?
Soldier Edward : Uh, I'm not going anywhere.
Lucy Preston : It's okay, they'll take care of him.
Soldier Edward : [seeing the defribilator work] Whoa, you're killing him!
Emma Whitmore : His pulse is back. BP is 90 over 50.
Soldier Edward : Get your hands off him.
Emma Whitmore : We don't have time for this.
Soldier Edward : What're you doing?
Carol Preston : [Emma shoots Edward in the leg] You're a better shot than that, Emma.
Emma Whitmore : You're right. I thought Lucy should take care of this.
-
Emma Whitmore : We have to protect the mission. Either you're with us or you're not.
Soldier Edward : [cowering as Emma hands Lucy a shotgun] No, no, please. Please, you don't have to do this. Please. Please. No, ple...
Lucy Preston : I'm so sorry.
Soldier Edward : Please, you don't have to...
[shotgun blast]
-
Emma Whitmore : His body's riddled with shrapnel.
Carol Preston : Take it out.
Emma Whitmore : I can't even see it without an x-ray.
Carol Preston : Lucy. Lucy, are you okay?
Lucy Preston : [poker-faced] I'm fine. What if we could get an x-ray machine here?
-
Emma Whitmore : He's ready, right?
Carol Preston : Mm.
Emma Whitmore : Well, let's go.
Lucy Preston : Ready for what?
Carol Preston : Nicholas is coming home with us.
-
Lucy Preston : [outside the Mothership, as Emma draws her gun] Emma, no.
Irene Curie : It's just my mother and me.
Marie Curie : We wanted to see what was disrupting the machine. I think we found it.
Emma Whitmore : I really wish you hadn't seen this.
Lucy Preston : Mom, this is crazy. Tell her to put the gun down.
Carol Preston : Emma.
Emma Whitmore : What? You think I want to do this? I didn't make the rules, Carol, but you know them as well as I do.
-
Lucy Preston : You want to prove to me that you're not a monster? You taught me everything that I know about these women. How could you hurt them?
Marie Curie : Do what you must. Spare my daughter. Her sister has no other family left.
Irene Curie : Maman, no, if you die, your work dies with you.
Marie Curie : My daughters are the only work that matters.
Emma Whitmore : Let's just get this over with.
Carol Preston : Put the gun down. That's an order.
[Emma lowers her gun; after a moment, she raises it again, and Lucy steps protectively in front of the Curies]
Lucy Preston : No! No.
Emma Whitmore : Don't tempt me, princess. I'm more than happy to take you out, too.
-
Carol Preston : Emma. You've worked too hard. Don't throw it all away. Just put the gun down now.
Emma Whitmore : I was told if she disrupted the mission, you wouldn't be impartial enough to make the decision.
Lucy Preston : How did I disrupt the mission? I killed your soldier's friend when he tried to get in the way, I brought you a damn portable x-ray machine. I saved that guy's life.
Emma Whitmore : Did you?
[holding up a grenade]
Emma Whitmore : Then what was this for? Hmm?
[handing it to Carol]
Emma Whitmore : I found it in her bag. She picked it up at the field hospital. I think she was gonna bring it on board the Mothership to blow it up, and all of us with it. Someone who's willing to die fighting against us will never fight for us. You can't protect her anymore.
-
Emma Whitmore : Follow us, fight us. You can have your damn Lifeboat. You're never gonna get what you really want.
Lucy Preston : What's that?
Emma Whitmore : I took a few trips of my own in the Mothership.
Lucy Preston : What trips?
Emma Whitmore : Trips to make certain that no matter what you do, no matter where you go, your precious sister, the one who disappeared from history, she's never coming back.
Lucy Preston : [advancing on her] No! No!
Rufus Carlin : [restraining her] Lucy! Lucy.
Emma Whitmore : I just do what your mom tells me to.
Carol Preston : That's enough.
