Agent Odell: Are you waiting for something?
Jefferson: I’m waiting to see what else you pull. See, I don’t trust you.
Agent Odell: In spite of what you think of me, I am a man of my word. I said I would do my best to meet your needs. You need to be with your family, so go see your family. Safe travels.

Agent Odell: If you help me solve this problem, I will do everything in my power to address your needs.
Jefferson: Uh huh, I don’t believe you. The only reason you’re here is because you can’t afford to lose any more Metas.
Agent Odell: Yes, that is correct. And although we disagree, we both want the same thing: to save these people. This disease is so prevalent that if we do not find a cure soon, every Meta in Freeland will die, including your daughters.

Jennifer: Uh huh, you ain’t gonna creep up in here like you haven’t been out all night!
Anissa: You’re awake?
Jennifer: Of course, I’m awake. You’re gallivanting all over Freeland having fun and not checking in. You don’t even have your phone on, Anissa. How was I supposed to make sure you’re okay?
[Anissa smiles]
Jennifer: Why are you smiling?
Anissa: No, it’s just…
Jennifer: Is this funny to you?!
Anissa: No, no, it’s just … you sound just like Dad.

Tobias: If you want to do business with me, you have to come up with a number. With a whole lot of zeros and commas behind it. On top of that, I want my freedom, territory, and I host of other considerations I’ve yet to think of.
Agent Odell: If I were you, I’d reflect on my current condition before I started turning down offers.
Tobias: I’ll take that under advisement.

I guess we can’t hold on, huh? Everything’s different now. And so am I.

Jennifer

Jennifer: Why are you here?
Agent Odell: The surveillance system crashed.
Jennifer: That’s ‘cause I crashed it. It’s creepy, anyway, you watching me any time.
Agent Odell: Okay. Alright. Forget surveillance. Where’s Anissa?
Jennifer: She’s in the shower. You want to watch her too?

Dr. Stewart, I’m glad you’re looking at the data. We have four Green Light babies and two pod kids deceased. With a dozen others not far behind, we could use your help.

Commander Williams

A.I.: Describe your current condition.
Maryam: Fried. I don’t know how long I can take it. I get muscle spasms all over. I can’t eat. I am falling apart. And finally, I’m losing all my hair. I don’t know what else I can say but, “Help me.” Please.

Agent Odell: Sorry to interrupt.
Lynn: What the hell is your problem?
Agent Odell: There was a Markovian attack on one of our facilities today. They sent in a strike team and a Meta to take the children.
Jefferson: Well, sounds like a personal problem to me.
Agent Odell: Not really, Mr. Pierce. There is a clear and present Markovian threat, and until that threat is eliminated, we cannot allow you to leave … or you, Dr. Stewart.

Agent Odell: Wish I had a choice. Your powers are simple but devastating. The truth is so rare and so dangerous.
[Agent Odell gets up to the door]
Issa: I thought you came here to kill me?
[Agent Odell points to Issa’s food]
Agent Odell: I did.

Jefferson: Agent Odell, now I only came here because we agreed that my girls, my wife, would be left alone.
Agent Odell: And you made the best decision for you and your family.
Jefferson: Yeah, well, my patience is running thin. Believe me, you don’t want to see me when I lose my patience.
Agent Odell: And I would like to see that … but not now.

Commander Williams: Ned? Ned Kreegan?
Ned: I prefer “Cyclotronic.”
Commander Williams: Cyclotronic? [Laughs] That’s funny, Ned. Why all you Metas gotta come up with these corny-a** names for yourselves?
