Maia quotes from The 4400

Maia

Yeah, school might be fun. Diana, you're not going to like what's in there.

Maia

(voice-over) Mommy's bosses will be punished for betraying us

Maia

How long am I going to be like this?

Diana

Like what?

Maia

I don't wanna know things before they happen. I wanna be normal, like I used to be.

Diana

It's gonna be okay, sweetie. Besides, I mean, you know, who's normal anyway?

Maia

You are.

Diana

Ha. You wanna know a secret? Normal people, like me... they just wish they were special, like you.

Maia

Don't worry. You'll find him.

Find who?

Maia

Your son, Kyle. He's the answer.

Tom

The answer to what?

Maia

Everything.

Diana

Maia, what's wrong?

I'm sorry, I know it's late, but Maia really wanted to come home.

Diana

Well why's that sweetie?

Maia

I don't want to talk about it.

Some of the girls, not my daughter, but some of the other girls, were teasing Maia because she says she has a crush on Frank Sinatra.

Diana

Old blue eyes. Do you blame her?

Most nine year olds don't even know who Frank Sinatra was.

Maia

I know who you are. You're the one who fixes people.

Yeah. I'm Shawn.

Maia

How come you're in here? Why don't you just make yourself better?

I wish I could.

They're broken. Kind of like the rest of me.

Maia

I used to see things. Stuff that was gonna happen. That's gone now, too.

It's funny, huh? When I found out I was different, all I wanted to do was be normal again.

Maia

Me, too.

But you get used to it. Now that it's gone, I feel like I'm missing an arm.

Maia

It'll come back. Once we get better.

Any idea when that's gonna be?

Maia

Not exactly, but my mom told me everything's gonna be fine. And I believe what she says.

That must be a nice feeling.

Maia

Don't you have someone to believe in?

I used to, but now I guess I'm just gonna have to believe in you.

Maia

That was kind of weird, huh? How we just saw each other on the street?

Tom

Well, to be honest Maia, it wasn't a coincidence. I wanted to talk to you about your mom.

Maia

See? I told you he was a good guy.

Diana

Maia, can't you see what's happening? Jordan Collier is naming himself dictator of Seattle; there's nothing good about that.

Maia

You're wrong mom. We are in charge now. It's better that way.
