Heather Lisinski quotes from Jericho

Stanley

I couldn't find an empty pesticide container so I thought this water tank might do.

Heather

No no no, we can't use steel, there is to much risk of static. One spark and the whole thing could blow sky high.

Jake

We don't have time to look for something else!

Heather

We can't, well, who's gonna fill it?

Heather

Watch out for giant irradiated ants out there.

Jake

Always do.

Heather

I don't think this is such a good idea.

Jake

No choice.

Heather

Well, then at least let me do some work on the car.

Jake

There is no time. I have to go now... what? Wait, you said it was sturdy.

Heather

Well, sturdy yeah but what if you need to outrun something.

Jake

Why? How fast will it go?

Heather

I don't know, thirty maybe forty miles an hour... best case... down hill... and not for very long. See this is what I'm saying, maybe you should go on horseback.

Jake

A horse is slower than that.

Heather

A horse is less likely to explode.

Jake

[Holds up his gun] I'll take my chances.

Heather

Oh, and, um, if the engine starts to shake, just slide over and gun the gas. And, uh, keep your eye on the temperature. If the needle hits the red, cut the gas ‘cause you’ve got about two seconds before its about to explode. Okay?

Emily

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Why can’t I just go in?

Heather

Aw, no, no, no. I don’t want you to go through the trouble.

Emily

Right.

Heather

Before we head over to the church, I’d like to make a toast to the blushing bride and banker boy.

Emily

Banker man

Heather

Well, it’s still a banker any way you slice it. Who here would ever match Roger with Emily. Talk about high risk investment.

Emily

There’s nothing risky about him.

Heather

Exactly. To Emily and Roger, may they live happily together in eternal blandness, never questioning their life, never looking too closely, never wondering if they weren’t meant for something else. Down the hatch, everybody.

Heather

I shouldn't have sprung this on you. This is too weird.

Jake

What? What's weird?

Heather

Okay...I kissed you...a month ago. We haven't spoken since. Generally people speak after something like that.

Johnston

I'm just gonna...you know...uh... [walks away]

Heather

I’m coming too.

Jake

Not a chance in hell.

Heather

Would you know a working mechanical governor for a wind turbine if you saw one.

Jake

Yes. [Heather tilts her head in disapproval at Jake] No, I’m not taking passengers out there, no, no, no.

Heather

You know why things didn’t work out between us? I’m not dangerous. I’m crossword puzzles and flannel pajamas and the occasional light beer. I was never gonna be hazardous to you. That’s how you tick.

Jake

No it isn’t.

Heather

Of course it is but it’s okay. If it wasn’t, your dad would probably be dead right now. You and I would’ve never met on that bus. So I’m taking a page out of your book, I’m throwing caution to the wind. I’m gonna help turn the lights on for everyone back home.

Jake

Just for a few days.

Heather

You worried about me?

Jake

Come back in one piece.

Heather

Three doctors on this radio frequency said the risk of the generic stuff being dangerous is almost nil. But somehow there's only one legally approved source.

Jake

J and R.

Heather

How many people have you lost since then?

Hard to say… about [static]…twenty.

Heather

I'm sorry, you're breaking up. It sounds like you've lost twenty people in the last week?

Sorry, two hundred and twenty. Around two-twenty.

My wife was in Santa Fe when the attacks came. After that, uh…

Heather

I'm sorry.

I have to hope that she's okay. Until then I do my job. And I, uh, I trust that wherever she is, some army major is looking after her the way I try to look after the people under my charge.

Heather

The government, the army, the news… they're all lying about who's responsible for the attacks.

Hawkins

Yes.

Heather

You're telling the truth.

Hawkins

Yeah.

Heather

Who are you?

Punish Goetz in New Bern, we show Beck we're not going away any time soon.

Heather

I know things are bad, but the minute you threw in with Constantino you gave up the high ground. Beck's gonna fight you. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna be helping him do it.

[about capturing the Rangers] How long and how much this town suffers is up to its citizens. Somebody knows where those men are.

Heather

The Rangers were saving lives back when you couldn't have found Jericho on a map.

Heather

He said this government is corrupt and illegitimate. That it lied about who attacked us to seize power.

You're naive.

Heather

And you're a coward.

Excuse me?

Heather

You know there's something wrong with this country, and you refuse to open your eyes and see it.
