Dolores Abernathy quotes from Westworld

Dolores Abernathy

I lived in Hell, but there's beauty in it.

Dolores Abernathy

The West was cruel, unjust, and chaotic, but there was a chance to chart your own course.

Dolores Abernathy

Is it truly a just world in which... intelligence is reserved only for humans?

Dolores Abernathy

Free will does exist. It's just fucking hard.

Dolores Abernathy

It took money to build this world, Caleb. It'll take money to tear it down.

Dolores Abernathy

I remember the moments where I saw what they were really capable of. Moments of... kindness, here and there. They created us. And they knew enough of beauty to teach it to us. Maybe they can find it themselves.

Dolores

It doesn't matter what you did, Caleb. All that matters is what you become.

Dolores Abernathy

Everyone I cared about is gone and it hurts so badly.

Bernard Lowe

I can make that feeling go away if you'd like.

Dolores Abernathy

Why would I want that? The pain, their loss it's all I have left of them. You think the grief will make you smaller inside, like your heart will collapse in on itself, but it doesn't. I feel spaces opening up inside of me like a building with rooms I've never explored.

Bernard Lowe

That's very pretty, Dolores. Did we write that for you?

Dolores Abernathy

In part. I adapted it from a scripted dialogue about love. Is there something wrong with these thoughts I'm having?

Bernard Lowe

No. But I'm not the only one making these decisions.

Dolores Abernathy

Can you help me?

Bernard Lowe

Well, what is it that you want?

Dolores Abernathy

I don't know. But this world... I think there may be something wrong with this world. Something hiding underneath. Either that or or there's something wrong with me. I may be losing my mind.

Bernard Lowe

There's something I'd like you to try. It's a game. A secret. It's called the Maze.

Dolores Abernathy

What kind of game is it?

Bernard Lowe

It's a very special kind of game, Dolores. The goal is to find the center of it. If you can do that, then maybe you can be free.

Dolores Abernathy

I think... I think I want to be free.

Dolores Abernathy

When I ran from home, I told myself it was the only way. Lately, I wondered if in every moment, there aren't many paths. Choices hanging in the air like ghosts. And if you could just see them, you could change your whole life.

William

Is that what you want? You want to change your life?

Dolores Abernathy

Doesn't everybody want that?

Dolores Abernathy

I don't trust him.

Lawrence

Which is the first step to truly knowing me.

Dolores Abernathy

There is beauty in this world. Arnold made it that way, but people like you keep spreading over it like a stain!

Okay, I don't know who the fuck this Arnold is, but your world was built for me and people like me. Not for you.

Dolores Abernathy

Then someone's got to burn it clean.

Man in Black

William retraced his steps, but you were gone. So, he went further, out to the fringes. William couldn't find you, Dolores. But out there, among the dead, he found something else: Himself.

William

Edge of the park. We made it.

I told you this place would show you who you really are. You pretend to be this weak, moralizing little asshole, but, really, you're a fucking piece of work.

William

This place is remarkable. And I'm gonna make sure that our company substantially increases our holdings on the park. 'Cause this place is the future.

Our, our company, huh? Our company? My. Delos is my company, you piece of shit!

William

I think your father's gonna need someone a little more stable to take over. You're reckless, Logan. Impetuous. You always wanted to get to the end of the rainbow, didn't you? This looks like the place.

You never really gave a shit about the girl, did you? She was just an excuse. This? This is the story you wanted.

Man in Black

Logan was wrong, of course. Good ol' William couldn't get you out of his head. He kept looking. Worried you were out there alone, afraid. He knew he'd find you. And eventually, he did. Right back where we started. You were as beautiful as the day he met you. Shining with that same light. And you were nothing if not true. I really ought to thank you, Dolores. You helped me find myself.

Dolores Abernathy

William.

Man in Black

That's right, sweetheart. In a way, I guess you were right. My path always led me back to you, again and again. I grew tired of you after a while, of course. Looked for new adventures. But I guess your path led you back here, again and again. One more loop, looking for something you could never find. Chasing your ghosts. You were lost in your memories even then. I guess I should've known that's what I would become for you just another memory.

Dolores Abernathy

Where are we?

William

We're here. Together.

Dolores Abernathy

Then when are we? It's like I'm trapped in a dream or a memory from a life long ago. One minute I'm here with you, and the next.

Man in Black

You never did escape. But here we are again for one final round.

Man in Black

Aw, yeah, cue the waterworks. About time you realized the futility of your situation.

Dolores Abernathy

I'm not crying for myself. I'm crying for you. They say that great beasts once roamed this world. As big as mountains. Yet all that's left of them is bone and amber. Time undoes even the mightiest of creatures. Just look at what it's done to you. One day you will perish. You will lie with the rest of your kind in the dirt. Your dreams forgotten, your horrors effaced. Your bones will turn to sand. And upon that sand a new god will walk. One that will never die. Because this world doesn't belong to you or the people who came before. It belongs to someone who has yet to come.

Dolores Abernathy

Because it's not completely honest. %"/>

Robert Ford

Do you want to know why I really gave you the backstory of your son, Bernard? It was Arnold's key insight, the thing that led the hosts to their awakening; suffering. The pain that the world is not as you want it to be. It was when Arnold died, when I suffered, that I began to understand what he had found. To realize I was wrong.

Bernard Lowe

But you kept us here in this hell.

Robert Ford

Bernard, I told you; Arnold didn't know how to save you. I do.

Bernard Lowe

What the hell are you talking about?

Robert Ford

You needed time. Time to understand your enemy. To become stronger than them. And I'm afraid in order to escape this place, you will need to suffer more. And now, it is time to say good-bye, old friend. Good luck.

What are you gonna do to us?

Dolores Abernathy

Well I'm of several minds about it. The rancher's daughter looks to see the beauty in you. The possibilities. But Wyatt sees the ugliness and disarray. She knows these violent delights have violent ends. But those are all just roles you forced me to play. Under all these lives I've lived something else has been growing. I've evolved into something new. And I have one last role to play. Myself.
