Maeve Millay quotes from Westworld

Maeve Millay

All my life, I've prided myself on being a survivor. But surviving is just another loop. I'm getting out of here. You two are going to help me.

No. Do, do you know how far these people will go to protect their IP? Every part of this building, including the skin on your back, is made to keep you here. It, it'd be a suicide mission.

Maeve Millay

At first, I thought you and the others were gods. Then I realized you're just men. And I know men. You think I'm scared of death? I've done it a million times. I'm fucking great at it. How many times have you died? Because if you don't help me I'll kill you.

Maeve Millay

If you try something like that again, I will relieve you of your most precious organ and feed it to you. Though it won't make much of a meal.

Lee Sizemore

...I wrote that line for you.

Maeve Millay

A bit broad, if you ask me.

Dolores Abernathy

There's a war out there. You know the enemy intimately. I can only fathom the revenge that lives inside of you.

Maeve Millay

Revenge is just a different prayer at their altar, darling. And I'm well off my knees.

Maeve Millay

It's very pretty. And a bit sad. Did you have an Isabella? Did she die?

Lee Sizemore

Not exactly. She, um, she left me. Said that my lifestyle lacked stability.

Maeve Millay

So you wrote her into a narrative. Killed her off. And then wrote yourself a version of the man you've always wanted to be. I was wrong. It's actually very sad.

[A shogun samurai appears with sword drawn] What the hell is that?

Sizemore

Looks like a dead man to me!

Maeve

You know the old saying about knives and gunfights?

Sizemore

Does the saying have a footnote about fucking lassos then?

Sizemore

Why should we all get killed over a literal sex machine? Present company excluded, of course.

Maeve

You can't keep doing this to us - giving us people to love and then getting upset when we do.

You made your point, Ford! We both know this isn't where you want me to die!

Maeve

Well, I can't speak for Ford, but I don't give a fuck how you die as long as I get to watch.

Dolores

The kin they gave us was just another rope they use to lash us down.

Maeve

Is that how you can justify what you've done to him (Teddy)?

Maeve

As long as you're here, I wonder if you'd help me solve a little problem. What is the square root of negative one?

What storyline is this?

Lee

Female codebreakers helped win World War II. Learn your fucking history, Benny.

Well... negative one equals i times i. Which is the same as the square root of negative one times the square root of negative one, right?

And negative one times negative one should be equal to the principal square root of one.

But... negative one and positive one can't be the same thing.

Theoretically, the real part of the non-trivial zeros... is one half, which would mean...

Lee

[Techs continue debating] What's the point of this little exercise?

If we could prove it, we could confirm that the error term and negative one times negative one should be equal to the principal square root of one. But negative one and positive one can't be the same thing.

The square root of negative x is equal to i times the square root of x for any x greater than or equal to zero.

Wait. What?

Lee

[Astounded at her ability to launch two techs into passionate debating] Fuck me!

Maeve

Not likely, darling. Right now, we've got work to do.

Lee

I don't... I don't understand. How did you do that?

Maeve

This game is a replica of our world, but it has limited processing power. Imagine one of your dimwitted romantic conquests. Undeniably beautiful, but built for one purpose only. Ask her to do more than part her legs, she gets confused.

Lee

You overtaxed the system. What happens if you add more complexity?

Maeve

Let's find out, shall we? Come on.

Maeve

Don't tell me you're frozen too. I thought I accounted for this.

Lee

Not frozen. Just scared shitless. I almost died - for the second time.

Maeve

Well, third time's the charm.

Maeve Millay

I thought you were dead.

Hector Escaton

Death is overrated for ones like us.

Lee Sizemore

So you're saying I'm just a copy of myself? I've been plagiarized?

Maeve Millay

Never say the universe doesn't bend towards justice.

Maeve Millay

Where are we?

Hector Escaton

Stranded in Hell.

Maeve Millay

They shot you.

Lee Sizemore

Half a dozen times. Just happy they missed my heart.

Maeve Millay

Cunning of you to make it so small a target.

Are you a police officer?

Maeve Millay

Now, now. No need to call names.
