Quotes 

• Topher Brink : Then maybe we could work on the one memory I'd like to erase. Bennett... I'm so sorry I hit you. I didn't want to. God, how I didn't want to.

  Bennett Halverson : Well, I was trying to kill your Active at the time.

  Topher Brink : Eh. You had your reasons. Still... that face. Slugging it. Not my first instinct.

  Bennett Halverson : Oh, I didn't think it was.

  Topher Brink : Some form of contact, but not...

  Bennett Halverson : [They go in closer to almost kiss but then]  Who's on that wedge?

  Topher Brink : Huh?

  Bennett Halverson : Who are you trying to resurrect?

  Topher Brink : Uh... This person.

  [Chuckles] 

  Topher Brink : It's stupid. Does it... Does it matter?

  Bennett Halverson : It might.

  Topher Brink : It's not like it's Stalin or somebody.

  Bennett Halverson : I didn't suppose that it would be a historical figure. Who is it?

  [Bennett looks down to see Echo] 

• Topher Brink : Aw...

  Echo : What did you do?

  Topher Brink : [groans]  Her left arm may be dead, but she's got a terrific right cross. If anyone asks... Actually, if anyone asks, don't say I got beat up by a one-armed girl.

• Topher Brink : Say, can we get to the part where the chairless imprinting tech that *I* designed, and *you*

  [looks at DeWitt] 

  Topher Brink : handed over to Harding in order to get this swank office back, leads to the apocalypse? 'Cause I thought that was kind of an interesting detail.

• Bennett Halverson : Why do you need this one restored?

  Topher Brink : [Topher sighs]  Uh, would it sound OTT if I said this could help prevent the end of civilization as we know it.

  Bennett Halverson : I would need to understand the context.

• Topher Brink : I got it from here. You get your chance, you slip out. In the real world, you can write your ticket any place you land.

  Ivy : I really do want to help you.

  Topher Brink : Then live! You have a remarkable brain. I think it should stay in your head. Ivy, don't become me. Go. Go!

• Adelle DeWitt : Ms.Halverson, as you correctly noted, you have been abducted. Now, you can be treated as a prisoner or as a guest. It's entire...

  [Topher moves his arms a bit out of sight from Bennett and Adelle understands asking Bennett] 

  Adelle DeWitt : Can I get you anything?

  Bennett Halverson : [sigh]  A diet soda.

  Topher Brink : I have some! I mean, in my fridge. Come on. Well, lab's in here. You showed me yours. Let me show you mine.

• Topher Brink : Ivy's right, we actually don't know what dumping Caroline into Echo's brain will do. Your original self comes home to find the house party that's going on inside your head. She might fight back.

  Echo : She'd lose.

  Adelle DeWitt : All right, pull Caroline from the Vault. Put Echo in the chair.

• Topher Brink : So either he could live his life trapped in a paralyzed body, or I could take away something else.

  Echo : Me, wasn't it?

  Topher Brink : [Topher sighs]  Not his memories of you. He still got those.

  Echo : Our connection.

  Topher Brink : I think so. The freshest brightest paths, those are the ones I needed. I think that was you. Yeah.

• Topher Brink : [Boyd and Dr. Saunders enter]  You mean you two? Wait. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

  Dr. Claire Saunders : Less talking would mean less bleeding. And I mean that in so many ways.
