Echo quotes from Dollhouse

Victor

[as Anthony] Who are you?

Echo

[as Caroline] Hey! I woke up in a five-star floor coffin just like you, buddy.

Echo

Everyone's unhappy today.

Topher

Somebody put her tiny little thinking cap on!

Echo

He was mean to you. Were you not your best?

Topher

If it hadn't been for me, there'd still be a security breach. You'd think the security head would recognize that! Typical middle management hack. He's mad at me for not discovering it before it happened, but I'm not a counter-intelligence agent, so I can't catch a spy. And you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Echo

I can help you.

Topher

Why would you want to?

Echo

Why wouldn't I?

Topher

Did I just lose an argument to a doll? Okay, thanks, but you can't help.

Echo

You make people different. [Sits in imprint chair] You can make me help.

Echo

What's in store for you, you don't have much to smile about.

Dominic

After you beat me to a pulp they're going to erase me. But first they're going to erase you.

Echo

I can take care of myself.

Dominic

I know. That's why I'm smiling, because one day you'll be erasing them, and even after all this they still won't see it coming. Sooner or later, everybody gets theirs.

Echo

[as Margaret] This is... soooo... stunning! Really! Last thing I remember is coming here a month ago for that dreadful process of yours.

DeWitt

Well, if we'd spoken in the meantime, I'd've been able to tell you about the last three weeks of your life, but...

Echo

[as Margaret] Well, this way I don't have to remember dying.

DeWitt

Undoubtedly a plus.

Echo

[as Margaret] God, it's all a plus! More life! And this body! [almost feeling herself up] Nice work, Addie! I'm pointing to the sky! [they both laugh] A shame it's only a loaner.

DeWitt

That was always the deal.

Echo

[as Margaret] I swear I've never felt this good. Did being young feel this good?

DeWitt

I seem to recall it was rather nice. Wonder why we gave it up?

Echo

[as Margaret] Please! You're what, ten years younger than me?

DeWitt

And oddly fifteen years older. [firmly] Just remember -- it's temporary.

Echo

[as Margaret] Just a chance to indulge my curiosity. See my own funeral. Who wouldn't want that?

DeWitt

To hear what the world really thought of us? To count out the number who love us?

Echo

[as Margaret] Addie. Are you all right?

DeWitt

Well, let's see... my friend just died.

Echo

[as Margaret] [smiling] Come on. We've got a funeral to go to. Then, maybe, you can help me wrap this up.

DeWitt

Wrap this up... your life?

Echo

[as Margaret] Well. I thought maybe I'd solve my murder.

DeWitt

Tell me you weren't tempted, even a little, to not come back here today.Just to disappear in this body.

Echo

[as Margaret] Maybe a little. But I've had my turn. And the people I love are moving on... besides.

DeWitt

Besides?

Echo

[as Margaret] I know you, Adelle. You're too much like me. [smiles] I wouldn't have gotten as far as the airport.

Echo

[as Margaret] Addie?

DeWitt

Yes?

Echo

[as Margaret] Will I see my whole life flash before my eyes?

DeWitt

Every single moment...

Echo

Oh, I know you.

Alpha

Of course you do. [passionate kiss] I told you I'd come rescue you.

Echo

My prince.

Echo

You think we're gods?

Alpha

We're not just humans anymore. We're not multiple personalities. We're many personalities. Uh... one of my personalities happens to be a multiple personality, but that doesn't make me a multiple personality. I'm looking for a little nuance here.

Echo

We're not gods.

Alpha

Fine, Übermensch. Nietzsche predicted our rise. Perfected. Objective. Something new.

Echo

Right. New, superior people. With a little German thrown in. What could possibly go wrong?

Echo

My brain hurts.

Caroline

How do you think I- Hey! That is my brain! Give me back my brain! I want back in my brain!

Echo

What is this thing? What are we going to do to her?

Alpha

Everything, nothing, but not to her. She won't be her. We won't be needing this, will we, honey? Wendy is going away. She won't be here in minute.

Echo

Wait, so it's like, a magic trick? We're gonna make her disappear?

Alpha

We're going to put her in a wedge. We're gonna wedge her.

Echo

I don't get it.

Alpha

Of course you don't! [pause] The mind that you have been given is so primitive that it is amazing you can perform basic motor functions or form words.

Caroline

You have to put me back, you have to put be back in that wedge. Because we need to get... [picks up a nametag] Wendy back in her body.

Echo

Why do you have to go back in the wedge? Why don't you come home?

Caroline

I did sign a contract.

Echo

I have thirty-eight brains. Not one of them thinks you can sign a contract to be a slave. Especially now that we have a black President.

Caroline

[surprised] We have a black president? OK, I am missing everything.

Echo

I remember everything. Sometimes I'm someone else and then I come back, but I still feel them. All of them. I've been many people. I can hear them, sometimes suddenly. I'm all of them, but none of them is me. Do you know who's real?

Ballard

Caroline

Echo

I want to find her. I want to find all of them. Real them. They can be found. We are lost, but we are not gone.

Echo

All of these things that happen to me, I feel them.

Ballard

I know, Echo. I know you remember everything.

Echo

Not remember - feel. I was married. I felt love, and pain, fear. It's not pretend for me. They made me love my little boy and then they took him away. They make it so real. Every time, they make it so real. Why do they do that?

Ballard

If you want, I'll tell Topher what's going on with you and he can fix it. He'll come up with a way to wipe you and you won't remember a thing. You won't have to feel sad anymore.

Echo

Feeling nothing would be worse. It would be like before - asleep. I'm awake now. I don't want to go back to sleep.

Echo

[as Kiki] Who's gonna pay for this?

[chuckles] Isn't that cute. On la casa.

Echo

[as Kiki] Free?!?

Oui, oui.

Echo

[as Kiki] Did I win a prize?

You are a prize.

Senator Daniel Perrin

Stop I love her!

Echo

I know. [Punches Perrin] Luckily I don't have that problem.
