Father quotes from Beauty and the Beast

[To Vincent] You know, you have the soul of a doctor. When I studied medicine, they wouldn't admit minorities. Wonder what they would have done with you? Let's not even think about it.

Your relationship with my son... is a tragic mistake... for both of you.

This place, our world, means different things to different people. For some, its a place of healing and safety. To others, it's our home. But all of us reach a point when we have to decide for ourselves what this place means to us.

Vincent, I understand more than you think about your Catherine...about your bond.

Our world must continue. A lot of good and trusting people depend on this place. It's all they have.

to Catherine I can't let you go close to him; he's unpredictable. I thought perhaps...if he heard your voice-the empathic connection that you share might somehow get through to him.

Vincent, come and take a look at these, Mouse's diagram for his new project...A ventilation system for the deepest chambers. Conceptually brilliant, but quite impossible to execute. Still, I suppose even Da Vinci had his off days.

But then, Devin, I always knew, even when you were a boy, that if you made up your mind to apply yourself, you'd do great things.

Some relationships can only bring us pain, no matter how much we wish otherwise.

The excavation will reveal at least four levels, possibly five or six. And even if we start sealing up all the surrounding tunnels today, there is no way to minimize the exposure. Evacuation is the only answer.

Winterfest is a time for brotherhood, for joy and trust. Now, if we forget that, if we let this day of all days to be tainted with fear...then Paracelsus will truly have won.

Catherine, you are a part of us now. Come, complete the circle.

When I left the world Above, I was disillusioned, heartbroken. I had lost my faith. Here, it was that I learned to listen to my heart and heal my wounds. Here, I learned to believe again. Hopes and dreams created this fragile world. Pride and vigilance maintain it, and it survives only because it is separate and apart. It is a refuge, where the disillusioned regain their vision, where the lost become found. Where each one of us can explore the best of our being, the best of what it means to be...human and to be alive.

Devin, even when you were a small boy, I could always count on you to make life interesting. Nonetheless, it's good to have you home.

[to Catherine about the gun] We need a way to...to discourage these people from further violence. We cannot allow them to control our lives with fear...I pray it will never be used as anything more than a threat. But perhaps that threat will keep him and us safe.
