Erica Evans quotes from V

Erica

(talking about how to react against the Vs) The more predictable we are, the more vulnerable we are.

Erica

Welcome to the war.

Erica

Here's to your children's future, Anna. [Tosses the grenade into the egg pool, turns, dashes for the door, and dives out the door, propelled by the explosion]

Erica

If we are going to defeat the V's, we need to change tactics. Eli died at the hands of the Visitors because his plan didn't work. We are going to bring this war to Anna. I have contacts on her ship, access that you don't have that you will never have.

Erica

The Visitors, they traced the call.

Jack

How's that possible?

Erica

How is any of this possible? Dale was my partner, he was one of them. He's been my partner for 7 years, long before the ships showed up. Anyone could be a Visitor. Jack, go home. Jack, go home.

Jack

What?

Erica

Go home. Act normal. Pretend this never happened.

Jack

Wait, we can't just walk away from this.

Erica

We can't attack it head-on. It's too dangerous. I have to figure out what to do. Go home. Don't trust anyone. Anyone.

Jack

You're an FBI agent?

Erica

You're a friggin' priest?

Jack

I wanna be useful. I wanna be able to look people in the eye and say, "God loves you and everything's gonna be fine." How do I tell them that? I don't even know what to tell myself anymore.

Erica

I know how you feel.

Jack

Why are the V's doing it like this? Why the infiltration? Why the sleeper cells? Why don't they just annihilate us and get it over with?

Erica

Because they're smart and patient and whatever their plan is, they need us for something. And until we figure out what that is we have to fight them the same way they're fighting us: one step at a time.

Ryan

Everything that I've told you is true.

Erica

Except that you're a Visitor.

Father Jack

I feel like something's changed inside me.

Erica

We're all changing. I just made a deal with the Devil. I broke every oath that I have sworn to protect. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Father Jack

You're thinking about protecting your son, the ones you love.

Erica

Sometimes you have to lie to people to protect them.

Father Jack

Am I talking to the FBI Agent or the mother?

Erica

Why did you do it? Tell me why.

Because we can't win.

Erica

I'm sorry. I'm... I'm hearing this for the first time and it's from my son's girlfriend, and I'm... I feel like he's slipping away from me and he doesn't know it, and... I want him to be happy.

Lisa

I'm sorry, Mrs. Evans.

Erica

It's not your fault.

Father Jack

I won't ever forget what one life is worth. If we're gonna win this war, we can't go off the rails. We can't lose sight of who we are.

Erica

Jack is right. We can never be like them.

Ryan

Anna's lying. They're never leaving.

Jack

Then why make the announcement?

Hobbes

Oh, it's theater. The boo-hoo, the attack on the princess. She's putting on a show.

Ryan

Hobbes is right. Anna could've healed Lisa's wounds, but instead she left them for the world to see.

Erica

Question is, why? What is her interest in you and Parker?

Hobbes

I don't know.

Erica

Well, we need to find out. Joshua said that Anna is the one who beat Lisa. Slashed her face. She broke her legs.

Jack

Wait, Anna did that?

Erica

Yes.

Jack

How could she do that to her own daughter?

Ryan

Because she's not human. She's a Visitor. There's nothing that she won't do to get what she wants.

Erica

My son is in love with her daughter. Is he in danger?

At first, Tyler was just an assignment. But now I believe that her feelings for him are real. I don't think that she'd hurt him.
