The Peripheral
Fridays on Prime VideoThe Peripheral Season 1 Episode 2: "Empathy Bonus" Quotes
Wilf: Aelita West. If I'm not mistaken, you might be the last person to have seen her.
Flynne: You see, I'm thinking you should probably tell me why people are trying to come and kill me and my family first. And then, maybe I'll go and play your stupid missing-lady sim.
You aren't playing a sim Ms. Fisher. You're inside what we call a Peripheral. Telepresent. Piloting that body as if it were your own. And all this it... let me show you.
Wilf
Flynne: This ain't London.
Wilf: Why would you say that?
Flynne: Where are all the people?
Wilf: Well, that's where things begin to get a bit tricky. This is London. But London 70 years from what you think of as the present.
Flynne: I'm sorry, you really just expect me to swallow that? That I've time traveled here? To future London?
Flynne: Are those?
Wilf: Thylacine analogs. Though I believe you may call them something else.
Flynne: Tasmanian tigers. I saw them on a show once but they said that they were extinct.
Wilf: Well one of Lev's hobbies is recreating such things. From their DNA.
Well I'm guessing 'spraying a weed' means something pretty different in the future, huh? Y'all got extinct animals you've brought back to life, time travel, moving tattoos... Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to help a good woman who's had a shitty run of luck lately. Make that happen, and I'll start talking about your missing lady. Give you my word on it, too.
Flynne
