Ryan Nichols quotes from V

Ryan

Ten years ago, when I came to your house for dinner, that was the day that I killed John May.

Ryan

You ever heard of John May?

Georgie

Guy's a myth.

Ryan

No. He's not a myth. He's real. John May is the leader of the Fifth Column. First group of Visitors to ever turn against the leadership, he started it.

Georgie

The Visitors have sleeper cells everywhere.

Ryan

Yeah, and so do we. The Fifth Column is down but it's not out. We can win this.

Georgie

And if John May gets into this?

Ryan

He'll bring an army.

Ryan

Everything that I've told you is true.

Erica

Except that you're a Visitor.

Ryan

I need you to get into the car - okay? The visitors know about us now and will be looking for us.

Valerie

Why?

Ryan

They want our baby.

Ryan

We have to go.

Valerie

Where are we going to go?

Ryan

Somewhere where the V's won't find us.

Valerie

I don't want to see you again because I don't forgive you.

Ryan

It was always for you... everything I ever did was for you.

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

Red sky is not Anna's latest gift. It is her latest weapon. And we do need you. We need your help to figure out the truth.

Look, I'm not a soldier.

Erica

I know.

Hobbes

We don't need your fists. We need your brain. And if you say no, we'll kill you. (smirks) Ah, relax. I'm kidding. Maybe.

Ryan

Like it or not, you're one of us now.

Ryan

You've done nothing but run tests on me. Who knows what you're doing to her?

Anna

I'm just trying to discover how your daughter... a miracle, the first hybrid baby between human and V... was born.

Ryan

She was born out of something you will never understand... love.

Jack

Look, Ryan, I know that...Val's funeral was this morning, and I get that anger is easier than grief. So you can get all pissed off at what we're dealing with and go after them. We can do that, and we will. But you can't carry all this into that fight.

Ryan

Yeah? How come I can't?

Jack

Because if you shut it out, you'll lose sight of what you're really fighting for.

Erica

Feels good, doesn't it?

Ryan

We only saved one.

Erica

To that mother, one is everything. This is what we're fighting for, to keep our children safe. We have to savor these wins.

Ryan

I wish I could.

Erica

Ryan... We're gonna get your daughter back.

Ryan

I know.

Erica

Good, 'cause if we lose hope, we lose this fight.

Ryan

I have to get my baby away from Anna. I need help. You know, of all the people, I thought you would be the one that understands. Everybody needs a second chance.

Jack

I'm not a priest anymore, Ryan. It's not my job to absolve you.
