Feel like getting lucky?
He is a master of disguise. She is a master of the hunt. Let the chase begin.
Broots: First there's the explosion in the D.C. underground. The there's Miss Parker seeing visions, and the Mr. Raines getting murdered, then unmurdered. And then Mr. Lyle, who used to not have a thumb, getting a thumb and Mr. Raines, who had a thumb, losing his thumb to Mr. Lyle. And then finding out that not only one pretender escaped from the Centre. No, three of them did. And then trying to locate a live psychiatrist, only to find a dead doc and being arrested by a guy who's not really a federal agent. Oh, and while we're at it, why don't we just throw Mr. Parker into the mix?
Miss Parker: You just can't trust a man with a stolen thumb.
Mr. Lyle: Stay out of it.::Miss Parker: Love to. Can't.
Mr. Lyle: God, you're a crazy bitch.::Miss Parker: You don't know the half of it.
Alex: I'm not a psychopath. I'm a sociopath. There's a difference. See, a psychopath is insane. He can't distinguish between wrong and right. A sociopath knows the difference. He just doesn't have a conscience, you know? So he doesn't care.
Jarod: Let me help you.::Alex: Now, why would you want to help me?::Jarod: I have a flaw in my character, remember?::Alex: No, thanks.::Jarod: It doesn't have to end this way.::Alex: You don't know what you're saying, Jarod.::Jarod: I know that there is always hope. Always!::Alex: There's no hope for me. Or for you.
Jarod: 188 channels and there's nothing on TV?
Sydney: What's happened to you?::William Raines: ...wheezing... too many cigarettes. Not enough vacations.
Broots: Miss Parker, I'm getting a pretty weird feeling about this.::Miss Parker: Everything about my family is weird. Including, the last time I saw my father... just after he murdered Raines.::Broots: Last time I saw my father was just after he sculpted the shrubs into "Snow-White and the seven dwarfs".::Miss Parker: [Awkward Pause] I guess everyone's family is weird in their own way.
Miss Parker: [to Lyle] Why don't you shove your nine fingers where the sun don't shine?

Miss Parker: [Jarod and Miss Parker are on the phone - talking about the events that had transpired that day] I hope you find your mother.::Jarod: And what about... *us*?::Miss Parker: You run - I chase. That choice was made for us a long time ago.::Jarod: Maybe *that* is the "Parker Curse".::Miss Parker: [wips away a tear] Yeah. Hell of a life we live in, Jarod.
Miss Parker: [picks up phone] What?::Jarod: [slightly annoyed] You've been chasing me for five years, why don't you leave me alone?
Jarod: [after missing seeing his mother by mere seconds] She was right here. My mother was right here in front of me. And once again, it's the Centre that stops us from being together.
Jarod: [talking by a fire - Jarod had just put a blanket around Miss Parker shoulders to keep her warm] The Centre wants us to believe that finding the truth is a mistake, that looking for answers about who we really are is futile and finding any kind of... connection outside their control is wrong. I know you don't want to hear this but you can feel it. You've been a Centre prisoner all these years just like me. And with every discovery you find you're every bit the outcast. Just like me.::Miss Parker: Why is it that the one person that I've been trained to distrust, to hate, to capture is always with me during the most difficult moments of my life?::Jarod: [voice barely above a whisper] Maybe, it's supposed to be that way. [they lean closer until they are close enough to kiss]
Jarod: We've been through a lot together you and me. From when we were kids at the Centre, to the last couple of days. I know that barely our allegiances are the same but I've always felt... [sigh] I've always known that there's something more to our lives than I run and you chase.::Miss Parker: [staring out the window of the car at her father] Maybe we do what we have to, to get by in this life.::Jarod: Maybe we both deserve something more.::Miss Parker: [voice breaking slightly] Just forget what happened on that island, forget that moment of weakness. Turning points only come when you've got something to turn to. [Jarod looks hurt by her rejection. In a slient plee, he grabs her hand into both of his. After a few seconds of staring into each others eyes, Parker yanks her hand out of his hands] I'm sorry. This isn't the different ending you were looking for. But it's just the way the damn story goes, Jarod.
Broots: [looking for a sample of Mr. parker's blood for Miss Parker] Oh, jeez!::Sydney: What is it?::Broots: [holding a vial] I am so underpaid. Miss Parker owes me so big.::Sydney: [looking at it with a flashlight] Is that Mr. Parker's blood?::Broots: I wish it were Mr. Parker's blood. The only sample of Mr. Parker's in here is semen. Let's get the hell out of here.
Miss Parker: What exactly is an archeo-symbologist?::Broots: You know... It's the study of the origin of unexplainable symbols passed down through the ages. It's quite an exiting field!::Miss Parker: I can just imagine the crop-circle deciphering parties at your house...
Broots: Where does Adama get these Trimvirate anyway? They make The Centre sweepers look like anorexic Powerpuff Girls.
Broots: [Hiding from guards, trying to time their shifts to be able to sneak into a guarded room] Speaking of Miss Parker, where has she been all day anyway? She could at least have the decency to risk her butt along with ours!
William Raines: You took my thumb!::Mr. Lyle: You weren't using it at the time.
[during a police raid on the brothel]::Jones: [to Lennox, a senior police officer] This the woman and these are the premises on which I have kept observation over the last three months. This house has been operating as brothel during that time.::Lennox: You've heard the officer. What have you got to say?::Christine Painter: If I'd known he'd been out there all that time I'd have asked him in for a cup of tea.
[During a raid on the brothel, the police burst into a room and find a man screwing a prostitute]::Policeman: Armed police officers. Stop what you are doing.::Client: [gleefully] I don't care who you are. I'm not stopping now.
[Wing Commander Morten, dressed in a French maid's uniform, is dragged along the corridor to the cells after a police raid on the brothel]::Morten: [yells] I am retired officer of the RAF, twice decorated. I flew two hundred and seven missions over occupied territory - in bra and panties!::Policeman: You're a disgrace.::[the cell door slams shut]::Morten: [yells, with hands on hips] This is no way to treat a lady!
[Being interviewed by the police after the raid on the brothel]::Christine Painter: It's just like a Tupperware party, really. But I sell sex instead of plastic containers. If the wives were willing, I'd be out of a job, wouldn't I? But they go off sex - they'd rather sell Tupperware, ha-bloody-ha. Sex soon goes out of a marriage. I'm a bit old-fashioned, really - I believe in marriage. Men are animals, sexually. They don't talk a *bit* of sense till you've got them de-spunked. Women are more affectionate. They like a bit of affection. Though I've met a few horny buggers in my time. The wife wants a three-piece-suite. If she gave the man sex, he might be more inclined to come across with the three-piece-suite. It may not be a fashionable thing to say, but once you've got him de-spunked, and he's sitting there thinking he's all wonderful - done you a good turn, given you a pair of soggy knickers - in the afterglow of his glory he's more inclined to come across with the Draylon three-piece, don't you think?::Glossop: You could well be right, love, I dunno. Personally, I've been married for twenty years and we still go at it like rabbits.
[At the police station after the raid on the brothel]::Christine Painter: I'm responsible - not the men. You can't expect the men to be responsible. When the balls are full, the brain is empty.
[at the police station after the raid on the brothel, police officers Lennox and Timms are planning to charge Christine]::Lennox: We're looking to make several charges - including possessing obscene articles for gain, selling liquor without a licence, running a disorderly house and keeping a brothel.::Christine Painter: I just perform a service.::Timms: You *will* go down for this.::Christine Painter: I only go down for a price, dear, and I doubt if you could afford it.
Christine Painter: Pass me a tissue, Wing Commander.
