Nick: I thought my past was behind us, and then it came back out of no where, but this is what I want now. This is my life. You and me and our children. I'm done with the past, I swear to you.
Alice: I think you want to be, but you won’t be. Not until there's closure. Find her, Nick. End this and then we’ll talk.

Our whole life together, it's just a consolation, isn't it? Admit it, I'm only in the picture because she left it. This, us, this was never your choice, not your first choice. This is you settling and I can't be that.

Alice

Nick: Was she unhappy?
Jack: No, no, it was quite the opposite. She couldn't handle being happy. It was like she thought it was all going to fall apart any second, and that my parents were going to kick her out or I was plotting against her, so I guess she figured she might as well just reject my whole family first.

Nick: Warren, she killed an FBI agent.
Warren: Did you see her pull the trigger?
Nick: She shot at Detective Gibbs and me.
Warren: I taught her to shoot myself, if she shot at you you'd be dead.

Don't sit here and lie to me like you care about her. Six years she was out there. Took only one before you threw in the towel. Nothing would have stopped me if it were my wife. Remarried. You're a poor excuse for a man, now get out.

Warren

Nick: The only thing that you are getting closer to, Emily, is getting shot dead in the street. Think about our son.
Emily: I am. I'm not going to let him grow up thinking that I'm a murderer. I'd rather die trying to clear my name.

Alice: Are you in love with her?
Nick: Part of me will always love her.

It's my fault. Everything she does from here on out is on me.

Nick

Nick: I wanted to bring her in alive, if I could.
Gibbs: So much for that.

Emily: It wasn't you, and it wasn't me. Then there's somebody else out there.
Adam: And they know where the Bleeding Eye is.

I knew Harlow was involved but I stayed on your case. The bleeding eye was the only clue I could never make sense of. It haunted me, it still haunts me. That’s why it's in my journal.

Adam

Emily: I want to know why you have my visions in your journal.
Adam: You want to know why I draw the bleeding eye? What do you think I did after you vanished? I looked for you.

If you don't believe me, Nick, why are you even asking me the question?

Emily

Alice: I know she would have loved to be at your race, every race, but she wanted to make your life safer, and mine. We kind of owe her, don't you think?
Flynn: You're my Mom.
