Irisa Nyira quotes from Defiance

Irisa Nyira

When I was a child, Nolan liked to tell me this world has no natives, which means it belongs to everyone.

Irisa Nyira

[to Nolan] I'm not like you. I'm an alien. And you made me afraid of that!

Tommy LaSalle

As long as we're both trapped here, we might as well eat something.

Irisa Nyira

I'm not trapped in here. If I wanted, I could have grabbed your wrist, broken every finger on your hand, taken the key card to this cell, which you left hanging from your belt, and before you knew what was happening, I'd already be out of this cage and separating your hand from the rest of you with one of my blades.

Tommy LaSalle

What is wrong with you?

Irisa Nyira

You wanted conversation.

Joshua Nolan

Now, can I trust you to be a good girl and behave yourself while I'm gone?

Irisa Nyira

Probably not.

Joshua Nolan

There's my girl.

Irisa Nyira

[about Daigo] You would've killed him after defending him all that time. Why?

Tommy LaSalle

Because you're not the only one with nightmares.

Irisa Nyira

You draw a gun, you aim to kill.

Joshua Nolan

Yeah, I taught you that. Really gotta stop listening to me. I’m an idiot.

Irisa Nyira

We have one rule: we live or die together!

Joshua Nolan

It's a stupid rule.

Irisa Nyira

You burned off my hair.

Joshua Nolan

Nope, the explosion burned off your hair. I was blameless. Besides, short and sassy for those hot summer months. You wore it well.

Irisa

You're wrong.

Joshua Nolan

I'm never wrong.

Irisa

You're always wrong.

Joshua Nolan

I'm occasionally wrong. But my heart's always in the right place.
