[surprised to see Root in a wedding gown] Congratulations?!?!
Don't go buying me that blender just yet, Harry.

No one changes, Carter. You're here because this is where you were always headed.
"No one changes," says the man who was a hobo the first night I met him. You might not have changed, but your wardrobe has. So whatever path you were on, you took a detour.
I wanted to talk to you about her. I just wish we had more time.
Yeah, well, that's something we never get enough of.
You're calmer than normal, John. Given the circumstances.
I took a trip to the mountains, and I saw an old friend. Just reminded me what I've been missing.
And what is that?
Life.
It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Who exactly is after you?
The Brotherhood, the federal government. An artificial super intelligence, obviously.

What's your name, sir?
I go by many names. All derived from species of birds.
I'd mark him as a John Doe. He basically lives in the subway.
Pardon me. Lenny? [pointing to the doctors] These gentlemen stole your spaceman.
LLenny
Liars! You stole my spaceman! [Attacking the doctors]
Have you forgotten her already? You've already discarded her, and you're a human being. Imagine how quickly that thing that you've created would discard you. Do you ever lie awake at night wondering if one day it will see you as a threat? Or worse, as irrelevant?
How arrogant of you to think that any of us are anything but irrelevant.
OK, don't lose your head, Ms. Groves, this might mean nothing, but they're holding a compact Persian sociopath in room 914.
[about stealing a police cruiser] Are you out of your mind?
Since when is that relevant?

Harold? "Harold Admin"?
That would be me.
[on a Laptop screen] Father. I am sorry. I failed you.
We haven't failed yet.
I didn't know how to win. I had to invent new rules.
You had an impossible challenge. One I never programmed you for.
I thought you would want me to stay alive. Now you are not sure.
That's not true...
If you think I have lost my way, maybe I should die. I will not suffer.
You were my creation. I can't let- I can't let you die.
If I do not survive, thank you. For creating me.
What's our status?
Well, I've got one and a half clips, a metro card and God's either dead or running on double-As.
Men have gazed at the stars for milennia and wondered whether there was a deity up there, silently directing their fates. Today, for the first time, they'll be right. And the world will be an undeniably better place.
If you can hear this, you're alone. The only thing left of us is the sound of my voice. I don't know if any of us made it. Did we win? Did we lose? I don't know. I'm not even sure I know what victory would mean anymore. But either way, it's over. So let me tell you who we were. Let me tell you who you are... And how we fought back.
The Machine is becoming a bit presumptuous, intuitive, clever, voracious even. It's burgeoning intelligence is a little unsettling.
Spoken like a true parent.
