Quotes 

• Delphine Cormier : You know, I'd never been with a woman before.

  Cosima Niehaus : Yeah, it showed.

• Felix Dawkins : [Introducing himself]  Felix. Gay friend.

  Alison Hendrix : Acting coach.

  Reverend Mike : Oh, that's perfectly fine here.

  Felix Dawkins : Which one?

• Sarah Manning : Do you think, because Kira's mine, she might be different?

  Cosima Niehaus : Because she's uninjured?

  Sarah Manning : Yeah, it's just a question.

  Cosima Niehaus : Well, if they genetically modified us, I mean, you could've passed something down to her.

  Sarah Manning : Like what?

  Cosima Niehaus : I don't know. Lizards regrow limbs.

  Sarah Manning : Cosima, Kira's not a lizard.

• Cosima Niehaus : I have a guy who's sequencing the German's DNA alongside mine, to see if the illness she had was genetic. If you want, I can give him samples of you and Kira, to compare.

  Sarah Manning : Yeah, I'm not giving you our genetic material. You'd probably hand it over to Delphine.

  Cosima Niehaus : Dude, I'm just doing what we agreed, okay? I'm following the science.

  Sarah Manning : Yeah, well, I worry about scientists more than science.

• Alison Hendrix : This is all Aynsley. She put them up to this. It's all part of the experiment.

  Felix Dawkins : Yes, how do clones react when ritually humiliated by friends and loved ones? Fascinating.

  Alison Hendrix : Maybe it's not just Aynsley. Maybe they're all monitors.

  Felix Dawkins : The reverend seems all right. Actually, he's kind of sexy. Man of the cloth, and all that.

• Alison Hendrix : Aynsley, you brought us here today, didn't you?

  Aynsley Norris : I care about you, sweetie.

  Alison Hendrix : You called all these people and told them everything.

  Aynsley Norris : I'm doing this to help you.

  Alison Hendrix : And I thank you. For scrutinizing every detail of my life since the day I moved into this fishbowl. You have pried and snooped and gossiped about me like I was your own, personal laboratory subject!

  [Group stares in stunned silence] 

  Alison Hendrix : How would you like it if I turned your life inside out? If I told all these people that Chad, your husband, slept with the spin-class instructor, long before me. Well maybe he acts that way because you *BLEW* the *roofer* at the cabin!

• Scott : Over 4,000 base pairs from each sample, sequenced and analyzed.

  Cosima Niehaus : Awesome! Awesome. Okay, what did you find?

  Scott : Okay, what did you find? No markers for respiratory disease.

  [Points] 

  Scott : This sequence is anomalous for cytochrome C and then this piece

  [Points] 

  Scott : ... is distinct in each sample.

  Cosima Niehaus : [Stunned]  They're different?

• Cosima Niehaus : That transcript you accidentally left behind, your fake boyfriend in Paris, pretending you didn't know who Dr. Leekie was. I knew it was bullshit, but I still thought you were on my side. I wanted to trust you.

  Delphine Cormier : You can trust me.

  Cosima Niehaus : You told Leekie I know these girls!

  Delphine Cormier : I had to! Look at me. He says you're in danger.

  Cosima Niehaus : Of WHAT? You don't know, do you?

  Delphine Cormier : No.

  Cosima Niehaus : Then you're the real danger, Delphine.

• Tomas : I know what you are.

  Sarah Manning : Yeah, I'm the one with the keys.

• Dr. Aldous Leekie : They didn't show.

  Rachel Duncan : Blood is thicker than you think, Aldous.

• Sarah Manning : What's going on?

  Mrs. S : Sarah, this is Amelia.

  Sarah Manning : Hi.

  Amelia : Look at you. Sarah. I'm your birth mother.

• Amelia : I was only 22, in a new country. A wealthy couple asked me to be their in-vitro surrogate. They paid me, provided a flat in London, a legal arrangement. But something was off. The medical tests were excessive... and I overheard the couple talking with the doctors, about a child unfettered by tradition, an advanced evolution, of some kind.

  Sarah Manning : Neolution?

  Amelia : Yeah. But they weren't a couple at all. They were scientists. The child I carried wasn't meant for them. I realized the life inside of me was in danger, so I ran, I hid, and gave birth to the two of you in secret.

  Sarah Manning : The two of us?

  Amelia : Yes, I had twins. I knew I couldn't keep you, so I hid you away. One to the state and one to the church.

  Sarah Manning : Helena.

• Alison Hendrix : [after Alison cleans his apartment]  What the hell?

  Felix Dawkins : A simple "thank you" would suffice. So, Kira's going to be okay?

  Alison Hendrix : Yes, miraculous recovery. Okay. Uh, where's my, um...

  Alison Hendrix : Oh, your drug paraphernalia is in a drawer. So is the paraphernalia that was by your bed.

• Dr. Aldous Leekie : Tomas opposes us. Science, in general. They're religious extremists. Proletheans, they call themselves.

  Sarah Manning : Right, "Neolutionist" is way better.
