Laurence Dominic quotes from Dollhouse

Echo

[Accidentally walks into the path of Dominic] Sorry.

Laurence Dominic

Are you?

Echo

Am I?

Laurence Dominic

Sorry. Are you really sorry? A lot of people seem to end up dead around you. How does that make you feel? Oh, right. You don't, unless we tell you how, and what, and when.

Echo

I'm going to swim in the pool. [Steps around him and begins to walk away]

Laurence Dominic

If it were up to me I'd put you in the Attic or the ground. Yeah, like talking to you is going to make a difference. [Leans in to look in Echo's eyes] Yeah. There's nobody in there.

Dominic

I don't like it.

DeWitt

Good. It's your job not to like it, Mr. Dominic. But Senator Boxbaum is more than just a valued client, he's a well placed asset. Denying his request would have a steeper downside than acquiescing.

Dominic

It's not the job. I'm confident Langton can handle the ATF. It's Echo. Her field response has been wildly erratic lately.

DeWitt

She's demonstrated a talent for adaptability, which is precisely what's required in this instance.

Dominic

They shouldn't be adaptable, they should be predictable. If Alpha didn't teach us that much?

DeWitt

You don't like Echo, do you Mr. Dominic?

Dominic

It's not that I don't like her. It's sometimes I worry you do.

DeWitt

Your objections have been noted. Thank you, Mr. Dominic.

Dominic

[drunkenly, with gun pointed at Victor] Hey, I'm fine!

Victor

All right. Easy, buddy.

Dominic

I know how to solve problems.

Victor

You bet.

Dominic

[his hold on the gun goes limp] Oh, man, this is so heavy. It makes my arms tired.

Dominic

I's easy to be attached to your assigned active. In fact it's necessary, but don't think of them as children; think of them as pets.

Dr. Saunders

Is that supposed to be funny?

Dominic

When your child Starts talking for the first time, you feel proud. When your dog does, you freak the hell out. Any Developmental progress an active makes is a threat to the house and a possible first step toward another Alpha.

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.
