Cara quotes from The Tomorrow People

Astrid

How long do I have to stay here for? Stephen?

Cara

Until it's safe.

Astrid

And when will that be, exactly? What, like, tomorrow? Monday? Longer?

Cara

However long it takes.

Astrid

So, what, you're gonna keep me hostage?

Stephen

No, of course not. But you have to let us protect you.

Astrid

You're the reason I need protection in the first place.

Stephen

(referring to his mother's boyfriend) Look, Cara, I know our kind can't kill, but what if he just chops off our hands and leaves us out here to starve or freeze to death?

Cara

Wow, we went straight to the dark place, huh?

Stephen

Have you seen any horror movies? How are things at the Batcave?

Cara

Well, Russ is still laid up, but he hasn't lost his acquired sense of humor. Now I have to listen to his semi-coherent jokes and pretend they're funny.

Russell

I can hear you.

Cara

I know.

John

I will not be chastised for making the right damn decision!

Cara

Keep your voice down.

John

Let me save you the suspense, Cara. I am gonna do what I think is best for our people, no matter who's leader down here.

Cara

John, don't.

John

And if you're gonna threaten to kick me out every time I step out of line, you should just do it already.

Cara

Finally some leadership advice I can actually use. Pack your stuff. You can say your goodbyes, and then you need to go. Goodbye, John. Good luck.

John

So, are we gonna talk about what happened?

Cara

Nothing happened.

John

I kissed you. And you kissed me back.

Cara

It's old habits.

John

Well, I'm pretty sure that one's not dead yet.

Cara

It doesn't matter, what I want. When we're together, I can't be impartial. You of all people should understand. I can't put my feelings before the group.

Russell

Talk to me, mama. What's happening?

Cara

I couldn't get close. Stephen and his Ultra gal-pal were crowding the scene.

Russell

But what do you think? Did a breakout actually bump someone off?

Cara

Clearly Jedikiah thinks so.

Russell

It doesn't make sense. How?

Cara

We can't rule out the possibility of an evolutionary mutation.

Russell

Whoa. You think Mother Nature created, like, a Tomorrow Person 2.0? A Day-After-Tomorrow Person.

Cara

John can take care of himself.

Stephen

You willing to bet his life on that?

Cara

Where are you going?

Russell

I am done taking orders and being a prisoner to a hypothetical cause when I could be out there helping real people. Right now.

Cara

Ultra is hardly hypothetical.

Russell

We act like we have to choose between working for them or fighting them. That's a fake choice. There are dragons to slay. We were given swords. I say we choose greatness.

Russell

Look, maybe it's time to reconsider our position. Do some good. We've been playing an awful lot of defense lately.

Cara

Since when are you a philanthropist?

Russell

Maybe I'm evolving. Maybe I don't want to see a teenage girl get raped by a bunch of gangsters.

John

We got enough problems, Russell.

Russell

Like finding our ghost hero who's lost in limboland? (to Stephen) No offense, dude.

John

Cara, what if I had a way to end this war? I mean, for good, and get us out of here.

Cara

I'd be for it.

John

What if it meant killing someone?

Cara

The Founder.

John

If Stephen's right, Jedikiah has just been doing his dirty work. Ultra, this war, it all begins and ends with the Founder. But if we kill him...

Cara

It means our freedom. A life for my sister, outside the trenches, up in the real world? I say kill the bastard.

We were seconds away from being road kill. How are you so calm?

Cara

Practice

Cara

Hillary is clouding your judgment.

Stephen

You are unbelievable. You said you and I were a mistake.

Cara

We are a mistake.

Stephen

And what about Hillary? She's a mistake too?

Cara

She's an Ultra agent.

Stephen

You know that's not the reason. Come on, Cara. Don't make me read your mind.

Cara

Just because I'm jealous, doesn't mean I'm wrong. At least I can keep my feelings and my judgment separate.

Stephen

Yeah, you've done a great job with that.

Cara

Stephen. If you have lost sight of why you've gone undercover in Ultra in the first place, it's more than just my feelings that'll get hurt.

Cara

You didn’t by chance drop Hillary on the train tracks, did you?

Russell

Jealousy is an ugly thing.

Stephen

Okay, Cara, out of my head.

Cara

I'm just trying to--

Stephen

No, no, you hack into people's brains. You learn their vulnerabilities, but you don't let anyone know how you're really feeling.

Cara

That is because I am scared. You want to know how I'm feeling? My friends are dying and I am second-guessing every decision I have ever made. Only I can't admit that because I am supposed to be the strong one. And now John's gone, and I am doing everything I can not to fall apart. That is how I am feeling.

Stephen

Our future is only as small as our imagination.

Cara

I like that.

Stephen

Thanks. I got it from a fortune cookie.

Cara

You the lamest Chosen One ever.

Stephen

Ever?

Stephen

What happened to you?

Cara

Natalie lead a team of agents down to the Lair. Only they've been mutated with the same recombinant gene therapy you're about to take.

Stephen

His agents can kill. I have to do this, Cara. The Founder took my family, my father, Hillary, he took everything from me!

Cara

I'm still here.

Stephen

If we don't stop him, John, Astrid, Luca, they're all dead.

Cara

I believe in you, Stephen. I have from the very start. The first time I heard your voice. I knew.

Stephen

Knew what?

Cara

That you'd be the one to save all of us.

Stephen

How?

Cara

It's not like this. Not by giving up your humanity.
