Cosima quotes from Orphan Black

[brandishing a gun] Be quiet, my kids are sleeping.

You're gonna shoot me while your kids are sleeping?

You wake them or show your face, yes, I will shoot you.

Well, I've never known a blood relation, but being your twin certainly sucks.

You really have no idea do you?

Bloody hell.

We talked on the phone.

How many of us are there?

Can we get back to Beth please? Suicide? I don't accept that. This one is some sort of low-life grifter. How do we know she didn't push her?

Oi, I already told you — I didn't wanna be her. I got stuck. I was running from my own shit.

I can only imagine.

Alison. I'm very sorry about Beth. Okay. But she was …losing it — like clinically.

She was a cop. She had tools. If she couldn't cope, I mean —mmph.

Look, can you just tell me what the hell this is?

[from her crafting room] Don't tell her anything.

Short answer? No.

How are we all related?

We're not!

Well, we are, by nature. She's referring to nurture.

Just give us the briefcase you got from the German.

I'm not giving you shit until you give me some answers.

You don't rate answers.

Alison…

Fine. She wants in? [steps towards Sarah angrily] We're clones! We're someone's experiment and they're killing us off! Is that helpful? Hmm?

Mommy?

Gemma!

Who are those ladies?

D'd'd… They're just mommy's friends.

Sorry. I wanted to float that whole clone thing a lot softer.

Okay, so, six months ago Katja contacted Beth with this crazy story about her genetic identicals being hunted in Europe.

Hunted? Oh… brilliant.

So, Beth used facial recognition software to find driver's licenses in North America. Two matches.

You and soccer bitch.

Yes. Right. But who is the original? Who's created us? Who's killing us? We need to know, but we lost our cop, so however you managed to get into her shoes, we really need you to stay there.

Stay a cop to help you?

To help us. Help us find out who's killing us.

How? I'm not a cop! Beth's partner is gonna figure that out. Being Beth is what got me into this mess in the first place.

I know, I know, I get it, but… you can't run away from her.

[talking to Sarah and Felix via Skype, examining the image of Helena's knife] Wow. Rich, man. This looks like a new blade inset in a much older handle. So the fish, is a bitch, semiotically speaking, with a universal wave acts symbol of fecundity. But these…

Felix

Seriously, what is she on about?

Quiet, she's just weird.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, going off on a tangent there. If she's not dead, we need to find her. Find out what she knows.

Felix

Are you mad? She's a homicidal maniac.

Yeah, but we need to find out who she is, Sarah. She's, she found us. She's got answers.

The only way I'm gonna do that is going back to being a cop.

Felix

No. No way. You're not going back to being Beth. Impersonating a dead officer — that's like a whole new crime.

I think I'm safest with the cops, to be honest with you.

Felix

Did that actually just come out of your mouth?

Look, Art's already looking for the killer. I shadow him as Beth and let them figure out what's happened to her, and then, when I find that out, I can jump off and deal.

Felix

Deal? I'm beginning to realize crazy is genetic.

Well, yeah, bad brain chemistry can be genetic, um, but environment, that's individual, right? I mean that's the whole nature/nurture question right there.

Felix

Okay, let's talk nature. Out of nine so far, one's a psycho who killed four others, one committed suicide, one is a bloody soccer-mum, and then there's you. My crazy sister is sane by comparison.

Thanks Fee.

But… [holds up photograph of Helena's knife] I think this might help figure out where she's coming from, so — I'll look into it.

So. The woman Beth shot and Helena are connected. Holy watershed! Beth probably shot Maggie Chen on purpose. She never told us anything about this.

Yeah. She never told her partner either. I can't keep doing this. Cosima, Helena was here. She was "Beth." She's gonna get us both busted unless I meet her, alone.

Oh my god, bad idea.

She thinks we have a "connection."

Do you?

Yeah — we're clones.

Right. So. What do the cops know?

She's a churchy psychopath — duh. It's personal, she's a loner, probably abused as a child.

Okay — the fish reads Christian, and crafted onto a weapon, a personal crusade.

Great, a zealot.

You know, when I've seen this branded onto Maggie Chen, I'm thinking she's not a lone warrior. To extreme creationist types, we would be abominations. Like, not God's children, but Satan's.

So, they hate us, and she's killing us, even though she's identical to us.

Well, if you were a messed up abused loner whose faith compelled you to belong, and somebody that you trusted told you that this was the only way to redeem yourself in the eyes of God, I mean…

Yeah, I might become an angry angel too. Okay, got it. Thanks.
