In their resting state, our actives are as innocent and vulnerable as children. We call it the "Tabula Rasa". The blank slate. Now imagine the imprint process filling it, creating a new personality. A friend, a lover, a confidant in a sea of enemies. Your heart's desire made flesh. And when the engagement has been completed, all memory of you and your time together will be wiped clean.
[Looking down on Actives doing tai ji] Look at them. Just a bunch of helpless children. Did the ones Alpha slaughtered even put up a fight?
They wouldn't know how. Not without an imprint.
Why not default them with ninja skills or whatever?
We tried that once.
And?
Blood. Screaming. Dying.
Alpha.
[After seeing Echo's picture] Pretty. Who's she?
Nobody, according to the FBI database. No record of her.
Is she in trouble?
Maybe. She just got caught up with the wrong people. Either way, I'll keep looking until I find her.
[As Ballard's walking away] Lucky girl.
[After handing Echo a gun] Do you know how to use this?
I've got four brothers, none of them Democrats.
[Accidentally walks into the path of Dominic] Sorry.
Are you?
Am I?
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.
I'm going to swim in the pool. [Steps around him and begins to walk away]
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.
