“Fifty-Fifty” quotes from The 4400

Tom

This isn't just a plan. It's a revolution. You realize that, don't you? Handing out promicin like candy changes everything, Shawn. Nobody will be able to enforce the law. It'll be chaos!

Diana

Nobody can predict what's gonna happen once people everywhere start developing abilities!

Tom

You need to tell us where he's keeping this stuff.

I don't get you guys. All along you've been saying we're on the same side, no matter what our differences are. That our goals are the same; for things to change, get better. Now a man is back from the dead to show us how to get there, and you two wanna stop him. You know what? You can't! Our phone lines have been jammed up all morning. People are dyin to know how they can get their hands on the shot.

Tom

So what do you tell them?

I tell them that we have nothing to do with it. And then I wish them good luck.

It's not hard for me, I've believed in you all along. Theres a reason why we were taken and a reason they woke you up. It's incredible -- you should be getting the Nobel Prize. Instead we're hiding like criminals.

It won't be like this forever. Soon we'll be heroes!

Jordan

Look, Richard, we need people to start developing abilities.

Dennis Ryland

I'm not at all surprised that girl died. That's exactly why we need to get the stuff out of Colliers hands.

Tom

We need to know about your promicin supply, Dennis. Your people have been working with it for months. Have you ever seen anything like this?

Dennis Ryland

We've had some casualties among the volunteers.

Tom

Casualties?[pauses and looks around in disbelief] How many?

Dennis Ryland

We recruited 20 men for the program. Half of them rejected the promicin within 48 hours of their first shot.

Diana

Rejected? You mean died.

Dennis Ryland

We knew there'd be risks, Diana. We explained it to the volunteers before the signed on.

Diana

Oh my God. You knew. You knew what would happen when people took this? Why didn't you tell us when it was stolen? We could have warned Collier, warned the public.

Dennis Ryland

Beacuse gods don't make mistakes. What better way to show the people that Collier is not some sort of messiah, than have him fall flat on his face in public?

Tom

You kept quiet so you could discredit Collier? A woman is dead, Dennis! And you're just as responsible as he is!

Dennis Ryland

She shouldn't have been injecting stolen promicin. And anybody who follows her lead will have to live with the consequences. Or not.

It was a balance of power thing. I was sent to eliminate the 4400!

(To the audience) How about you? Fifty-fifty. You want the shot?
