Theresa Cullen quotes from Westworld

Theresa Cullen

Wouldn't want anything disturbing our guests from their rape and pillage.

Bernard Lowe

[lighting her cigarette] QA will fine you for this. And that woman in charge is quite formidable.

Theresa Cullen

You can just say "bitch." I hear it enough.

Robert Ford

They cannot see the things that will hurt them. I've spared them that. Their lives are blissful. In a way, their existence is purer than ours, freed of the burden of self-doubt.

Bernard Lowe

No, no, no, no. I don't understand.

Theresa Cullen

You're a fucking monster.

Robert Ford

Am I? Well, you were the one who would so blithely destroy all of them, even him, I suppose. After everything you have shared.

Bernard Lowe

What the hell are you talking about?

Theresa Cullen

Is that why? Did you tell him to -

Robert Ford

The intimacies were your idea, if you will recall. I think Bernard was glad of the company.

Bernard Lowe

I'm not one. I can't be. My wife. My son. The burial. I was a father. My poor boy.

Robert Ford

That's enough, Bernard. You mustn't get yourself worked up. [to Theresa] I read a theory once that the human intellect was like peacock feathers. Just an extravagant display intended to attract a mate. All of art, literature, Beethoven, Mozart, William Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and the Empire State Building... Just an elaborate mating ritual. Maybe it doesn't matter that we have accomplished so much for the basest of reasons. But, of course, the peacock can barely fly. It lives in the dirt, pecking insects out of the muck, consoling itself with its great beauty. I have come to think of so much of consciousness as a burden, a weight, and we have spared them that. Anxiety, self-loathing, guilt. The hosts are the ones who are free. Free here under my control.
