Meghan quotes from The 4400

Meghan

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever seen La Dolce Vita?

Diana

Dubbed or subtitled?

Meghan

Do I look like I watch dubbed movies?

Diana

Do I?

Meghan

Welcome back, Agent Skouris.

Diana

I'm being reinstated because I like foreign films?

Meghan

Of course not, but it doesn't hurt your cause.

Meghan

That's exactly why this journal is making people in D.C. nervous. The author doesn't sound like a radical. She sounds like... somebody's aunt.

Tom

Yeah, and if your aunt's willing to take a chance on getting an ability, why shouldn't you?

Tom

The head of NTAC, benefiting personally from a 4400 ability? You sure you're up for the fallout?

Meghan

They let this place stay open. They blinked. Let them fire me.

Diana

Assuming the woman is telling the truth about what she can do, I mean, okay, it might be irresponsible that she's writing about it, but it's not a threat. Isn't that what we do here, we track down threats? We're not the thought police.

Tom

Taking promicin is illegal. Not to mention, potentially fatal. If that blog inspires 20 people to take promicin, 10 of them are going to die.

Meghan

Don't forget about the ones who survive. Do you really think they'll all be lovely people too? Do you think their abilities will be as benign as hers? This woman has to be stopped and we can find out exactly what her intentions were, just as soon as you find her. Bring her in.

Diana

I'll go put on the riot gear. Tom, get the tear gas.

Tom

You're going to hotwire the door open?

Meghan

Don't look so surprised. I worked in a think tank for years. You'd be amazed at the kinds of things I picked up around the water cooler.

Tom

(looking away) I'm sorry.

Meghan

Tom, the second time we did it with the lights on, it's not like anything you haven't seen.

No doubt about it. The man is a genuine badass.

Meghan

Well, maybe when we catch him, you can ask for his autograph.

Meghan

This last few weeks I could tell there was something wrong. He was the same guy but different, you know? I keep telling myself it's okay, it's still Tom.

Diana

Well, I didn't wanna believe it either. He has been my partner, my friend for years.

Meghan

Talk about sleeping with the enemy.

Diana

Hello, Curtis.

Meghan

Sit down. We have some questions for you.

About what?

Meghan

About what camera lens you're using today. What do you think, Curtis? We wanna talk about the Marked.

I already told you guys. I made all that up. The Marked aren't real. I have to work. If you want to watch me direct, I can get you some headphones.

Diana

(pulling her gun and pointing it at Curtis) You're not going back to work anytime soon. Now all we need you to do is tell us how to kill one of those things.
