John quotes from The Tomorrow People

John

Look at her, Cara. If you can't see that she is one of us then you are lost to us as a leader and we are lost as a people.

John

I've always been fighting to survive. Never thought about how I'd want to live if I had the option. Never had dreams like that.

John

Astrid, when I kiss you next time. It’s not going to be because the world is ending.

Stephen

Okay, okay, wait wait wait, wait. Where are we? How-... Who are you?

John Young

You're in an abandoned subway station 100 feet below the streets of Manhattan. You teleported here. Actually... I teleported you.

Cara

We're called Tomorrow People. And we didn't choose the name, I swear.

Stephen

[laughing, seeing the others] This isn't happening. It's just another one of my crazy dreams.

Cara

[telepathically] It's not a dream, Stephen.

Stephen

How did you do that?

Cara

You've heard of telepathy? It's another one of our powers.

John

The three Ts, the third being telekinesis.

Cara

[to John] He doesn't believe us.

John

It's funny, the teleporting usually sells it.

Stephen

No offense, but any second I'm gonna wake up someplace awful. Maybe another three-way at the neighbors' place.

Cara

You don't understand, Stephen. You're one of us. You're breaking out.

John

You're waking up in weird places, Stephen? You're not sleepwalking. You're teleporting. You hear Cara's voice in your head, that's telepathy. Your latent powers are starting to appear. Soon, you'll be able to do this.

Stephen

Okay, oka- okay! Okay! Put me down! Put me down!

John

You got it.

Stephen

No, no, I'm having a psychotic break. My meds are off or something.

John

No, no, no more pills. They're obviously addling your brain.

Cara

What he means... is the drugs are just going to get in your way.

Stephen

Get in my way? You have no idea what my year has been like.

Cara

[with a hurt expression] Stephen, I know exactly what it's been like. I know how alone you've felt, how scared. You feel like you're turning into a different person, like your mind isn't your own. All those hours on your therapist's couch? I was there with you, Stephen. When we're connected, I feel what it's like to be you.

Stephen

That sounds, um, awful.

Russell

Look, we get that you're looking out for us, but Stephen called it. At some point we have got to stop playing defense, and fight back. I mean we've hiding out down here for two years.

John

Which is two years longer than any of us would have survived up top.

Cara

We are all for survival. But if we're not going to stand up for our own, what's the point of surviving?

John

We all made sacrifices, Stephen, but somehow, you think you're special.

Stephen

You don't think I know what it's like to lose someone? Up until last week, I thought my dad, your great hero, was just some human loser who left me. Now I don't know what to think other than he's alive. But how are you gonna find him if you're hiding down here like a bunch of paranormal refugees? I will do whatever it takes to find my dad. If that means working for Ultra, fine.

John

Jedikiah's goal is to eliminate our species from the face of the planet. I worked there, Stephen. I know. Getting inside your head, it's just the beginning. You haven't even scratched the surface of what they can do. And as long as you're down here, the rest of us aren't safe!

John

I left Ultra because you made me kill. I swore to myself I'd never do it again.

Jedikiah

And you haven't. Till tonight.

John

You think it's an imperfection. But I think there's a reason we were born unable to kill. It destroys something. A part of your soul you don't get back. I felt it today. Just like I felt it years ago. I hate you for what you made me.

Jedikiah

I made you strong. Perfect.

John

We're not running anymore. From here on, we do everything to stop you. We see you on the street, we don't turn, we fight. Got it?

Jedikiah

Kill or be killed, John.

John

Kill or be killed.

Cara

(about his ability to kill people) This is what you've been hiding from me all these years? This is why you've been keeping me at arm's length? Do you see what it has done to us, John?

John

What choice did I have? How do you think they'd take the news? That Jedikiah had turned their fearless leader into a freak. That I wasn't one of them anymore.

Cara

I'm not talking about them. Why didn't you tell me?

John

'Cause of the way... because of the way you're looking at me right now. Like I'm some monster.

Cara

I don't care what your secret was. It's that you kept it from me. That is what you were seeing, John.

Stephen

Wow. Just so you know, I took your side in all this. Ultra's acting like it's DEFCON 1 and I'd like to figure out what's going on before you guys take your little spring break topside.

John

Stephen, it doesn't matter whose side you take. The problem is, I'm about to fight Cara now because you already have her, everyone down here, thinking that we can just live in the human world. Because you can.

Stephen

You can tell me to take a hike, deal with Ultra on your own, or you can figure out how to be a leader to your people without blaming me for your problems. I'm not gonna be your scapegoat.

Cara

I think a night out could do all of us a lot of good.

John

It's not worth the risk.

Cara

John, what's the point of surviving if we don't get to really live? We're dying down here, John. All of us.

Cara

You know how we said we would tell each other everything? That we could get past anything as long as we were honest with each other?

John

Yeah.

Cara

While you were gone, I made a mistake.

John

Cara, there's nothing you could of done.

Cara

I slept with Stephen. I'm so sorry. If I could take it back, I would. And it doesn't change how I feel about you. The thought of losing you terrifies me. Say something.

John

Are we even now? I lied to you, you lied to me, is that how it is?

Cara

No. No, that's not--

John

It took me years to tell you the truth about the Annex Project. It took you two days to come clean about this. So, in that respect, you win.

Cara

We're looking for a rapist? No, that doesn't make any sense. Are you sure he's one of us?

The way he vanishes into thin air, he's gotta be.

Cara

So much for homo-superior.

John

Our powers don't make us good. They just make us powerful. How we use them is up to us. This guy is twisted. With or without 'em.

John

So it turns out our resident klepto is actually a mad musical genius.

Cara

Like a violin prodigy or something?

Russell

Oh, 'cause I'm Asian I must play the violin.

John

I trusted you like a father and you used me. Don't you get it? I lost everything that day.

Jedikiah

You were just a boy looking for a family. That's what you'll always be.

John

You don't get to decide what I am.

John

At the first sign of trouble..

Russell

We're off like a bra on prom night.
