Adelle: Topher?
Topher: I've scrubbed them as much as I safely can. If we pursued the short-range calcium modulin K2 amplified, I could advance the protein's corrosion of long-term potentiation.
Adelle: Done. Whatever that means.

Ballard: Can I trace where it was transmitting?
Jimmy: Absolutely... if you were E.T.. It inverts the frequency into white noise. The only way you could find it once it hits the universe is to know exactly which speck of dust you're looking for and tune in on it.
Ballard: What about scrambling it?
Jimmy: Someone put this on you? You're gonna need an RF detector, a smart scrambler, and a frequency jammer. And to believe in God. Because I don't care how big you think you are, they're bigger.

Topher: You know what I like? Brown sauce. What's it made of? Science doesn't know.
Adelle: It's made of brown.
Topher: Brown... mined from the earth by the hardscrabble brown miners of North Brownderton.
Adelle: Oh, my God! I find lentils completely incomprehensible.

Topher: I'm working! What are you doing, besides being...
Adelle: Being what?
Topher: Wait a minute.
Adelle: Sarcastic? Unfeeling? British?

Dominic: Tom, this is Dr. Gawa from the Center for Disease Control.
Victor: Super, I haven't heard a good flesh-eating-strain-of-something-horrible story in a while.
Sierra: Yeah, I've got dozens.

Paul: Didn't know I could cook, did you?
Mellie: Nope.
Paul: Good. Then you won't be disappointed when you find out I can't.

Dominic: You played a good hand, ma'am.
Adelle: I played a bad hand very well. There's a distinction.
Dominic: Of course.

Boyd: They don't think I can handle that?
Topher: Ahh, not everything is about you, Mr. Infinite Ego Man.

Ballard: Tell me about the Dollhouse.
Joel Mynor: The Doll... Uh, it's pink, and it opens up, and there's teeny furniture, and you put the boy doll on top of the girl doll and we learn about urges.

God brought me here to give you a message, and that message is "Move your ass!"

Echo

Dr. Saunders: It's possible one good sneeze could bring on a seizure.
Topher: Or even worse, a sneezure.

Adelle: Echo, why don't you go and have a massage?
Echo: A massage would be relaxing.
Topher: If she was any more relaxed, she'd be ooze.

Dollhouse Season 1 Quotes

If you have everything, you want something else. Something more extreme. Something more specific. Something perfect.

Paul Ballard

You ever try to clean an actual slate? You always see what was on it before.
