Grace: Anissa, when I’m with you, I can’t control myself.
Anissa: I know, and it’s amazing.
Grace: No, you don’t understand.
Anissa: Then explain it to me. I’m here listening.
Grace: I have to go!
[Grace walks away in the opposite direction]
Anissa: Did I say something wrong? Grace! What did I do?!

Principal Lowry: Will you tell them to get off their butts and get back to class?

Anissa: I’ve done all the things ... all the things Dad said would get me killed.
Gambi: You want to do good, I get it. But you have to think of how much bad you’d do for your family if you lost your life.
Anissa: Yeah, I am.
Gambi: And what a waste it would be if you lost your life before you were able to build it.

Odell: Make it quick.
Lynn: Why are you having me followed? Are you following my whole family? My research team?
Odell: And here I thought you were happy to be alive and came here to thank me for saving your life.
Lynn: I do thank you.
Odell: How’s your daughter?
Lynn: She’s fine. They didn’t shoot her. She fainted, so it looked like she did.
Odell: Fortunate. Dr. Stewart, you have been invaluable to the pod kids, but you’re still not being honest with me ... and I don’t have time for it.

Anissa: She wants time to be alone.
Lynn: Alone is good until it’s not good. Isolation feeds depression and addiction. I feel she needs her family right now.
Anissa: You and Dad always think you know what’s best for us. What if it’s not true? What if ... every once in a while we know what’s best for us?
[Anissa gets shot]
Lynn: Anissa! Oh my God!
