Debris
Mondays 10:00 PM on NBCDebris Season 1 Episode 4: "In Universe" Quotes
There's a theory that life forms that engage in chlorine-based respiration could exist on other planets.
Finola
Finola: It's creating a whole chlorine-based ecology.
Bryan: You're suggesting that the debris is terraforming the planet here?
Finola: The debris changed the atmosphere, but something in the atmosphere changed the workers into chlorine-breathing organisms.
Finola: Populated area. Even if it's not a whole city, there are still people in there. They'll die if the debris is removed. Do you even know what that's going to look like?
Bryan: There are things that you understand about life that I don't, and I respect that. But there are things that I know that you will not find very palatable, and one of the hard lessons I have learned is that when I am facing a situation like this, I am going to focus on the people that we're saving and not the ones that we can't.
Finola: I'll find a way.
Bryan: We don't have time. Think about the people in the county, the state. If we don't act, we might not be able to stop the terraforming. There's no way we're going to be able to win all these, and I know that every cell in your body right now is screaming for you to do what you think is right. I need you to go against that. I need you to trust me.
Finola: I just think that we all have the right to know the truth about what happens to the people who we love.
Bryan: That's not our job. We are supposed to be blips in these people's lives, not memories. We're doing everything we can.
Bryan: Why'd you do it?
Finola: I realized it was right.
Bryan: I just want to understand it.
Finola: I'm not sure you'll ever understand it.
