Dragon King : I know we've had our conflicts in the past, but be assured, I am your ally in Project: New America.
Jordan Mahkent : Why don't you tell them the news, Dr. Ito?
Dragon King : Yes. We no longer need to wait for Brainwave to awaken. His son, Henry, is a telepath. The amplifier will be complete within the week. Once it is, we can funnel Henry's telepathic abilities through it, broadcasting them across six states, taking control of every fully-developed mind within them. Carving out... a new America. Our America.

Barbara Whitmore : I'm sorry for interrupting. I-I wanted to apologize in person for leaving you in Oakville.
Jordan Mahkent : Your daughter was in an accident. You have nothing to apologize for. How is, uh... Courtney?
Barbara Whitmore : Yeah, better. Thanks.
Jordan Mahkent : Good. That's good.
Barbara Whitmore : Are you sure you're okay?
Jordan Mahkent : I just finished a project I've been working on for some years. It took me all around the globe. To London, Tokyo, all over the States. But it also cost me quite a bit of time away from my son. Given everything I sacrificed, I was hoping, once it was complete, I would feel... a sense of accomplishment. But I don't. Still... it's nothing the new project won't fix, or some time with my family. Christine, she would make a big dinner when I returned from a trip. It'd remind me what I was working for. Thanks again for stopping by.
Barbara Whitmore : Yeah.

Jordan Mahkent : I hear you run the old garage off Main Street?
Pat Dugan : Yeah, I mostly focus on classic cars, but, uh, you know, in a small town like this, I take whatever work comes my way.
Jordan Mahkent : I guess you could do your work anywhere, right? So why move to Blue Valley, if you don't mind me asking?
Pat Dugan : No. Uh... well... the pace, the people. And, uh, Barbara of course grew up here, so...
Jordan Mahkent : Right. Growing up in the cornfields and going to the theater, and living the perfect American life.
Barbara Whitmore : Mmm... it was not perfect, trust me. Not back then.
Courtney Whitmore : Uh, Blue Valley's not perfect now, mom.
Jordan Mahkent : Oh, it's getting there.
Barbara Whitmore : Yeah, Blue Valley's going to be an example of a better America built on the most important building block of all: families.
Jordan Mahkent : Hmm. If only everyone felt the same way as us, huh?
Sofus Mahkent : [conversing in Norwegian] I like her.
Lily Mahkent : Her daughter bothers me.

Jordan Mahkent : You do know why I was really here, don't you? Why do you think, Courtney?
[she gives an unsure shrug]
Jordan Mahkent : Because I had to meet the girl my son has been talking so much about. And I approve. Thank you again for your hospitality.
Courtney Whitmore : Sure.
