Quotes:

[first lines]::[There is a long aural montage of strangers talking, presumably overheard in their thoughts by Joshua]::Emily: [Emily is chatting on the phone while walking down a busy street at night] I'm supposed to trust you? Trust is earned, my friend. Anyway, get your ass down here. If you take too long, I may be gone.::Joshua Lazarus: [She enters a nightclub and sits at the bar. Joshua approaches her] Hi. My name is Joshua.::Emily: I'm Vanessa.::Joshua Lazarus: Vanessa. You are a...::[he rubs his forehead with his index finger]::Joshua Lazarus: ...Virgo.::Emily: I'm not an obvious Virgo.::Joshua Lazarus: It was obvious to me.::Emily: [She smiles] You're very intuitive.::Joshua Lazarus: You could say that.::[He pauses]::Joshua Lazarus: Vanessa. You're name's not really Vanessa, is it?::Emily: [She's embarrassed] Emily.

Joshua Lazarus: That was the Argentinean Finance Minister. They want me to bankrupt him because he's not playing ball. They can't have that.::Sandy: That's awful. I should just say no when they ask to hire one of you. And they always ask for you or Kira. You're the only scopers they consider level-headed. Anyway, I'm sorry to make you do these abominable government jobs, but the Home needs the money.::Joshua Lazarus: You don't have to justify yourself to me, Sandy. You saved my life.

Joshua Lazarus: I started hearing the voices again.::Sandy: Can you control them?::Joshua Lazarus: For now.::[He pauses]::Joshua Lazarus: How long do I have?::Sandy: From the recurrence of the voices, sanity is generally lost within a month. I'm so sorry.::Joshua Lazarus: Don't be. I've had enough time. Thank you for being straight with me, Sandy.::Sandy: [Sandy rises and pulls a pill bottle out of his pocket] Here. These are stronger. They should help a little. Make sure you take them regularly!::[He grimaces]::Sandy: I'm needed back at the Home, Josh.::[He pulls some papers from his inner coat pocket]::Sandy: So... you should decide this now. Don't make the same mistake Bobby made.::Joshua Lazarus: [Josh looks unhappy] You decide for me. I mean it.::Sandy: Have you visited Bobby recently?::Joshua Lazarus: No. I can't.::Sandy: The NSA insists on permanent restraints, even with the sedation.::Joshua Lazarus: Yeah. Just...::[He picks up a pen. A tear rolls down his face]::Joshua Lazarus: Nothing, uh... sentimental with, uh, with the ashes.::[He wipes his eye]::Joshua Lazarus: You promise me?::Sandy: When you feel like the voices are becoming too much, come back to the Home.

Bridger: Hello, Lazarus. Oh, you look a little too conscious for my liking. It's amazing how these drugs keep you mind-reading freaks talking, even when you're semi-comatose.::Joshua Lazarus: What'd I get?::Bridger: Hmm? Oh, you're more coherent when you're conscious, but then, of course, you're much less cooperative.

[Josh and Anna run into each other at a market]::Anna Manheim: Hi!::Joshua Lazarus: Hey.::Anna Manheim: You're staying on the outside?::Joshua Lazarus: We don't believe in being in people's heads if they don't want us there. Unless they're normals.::Anna Manheim: Who's 'we'?::Joshua Lazarus: There are others like us. Not many.::Anna Manheim: You know, when I said, yesterday, "Get out," I didn't mean you had to get out of the house. I meant, get out from...::[she touches her forehead]::Anna Manheim: ...here. I wasn't prepared for it.::Joshua Lazarus: You are now?::[He focuses, and they appear, facing each other, in the dark, dreamy area that is telepathy]::Joshua Lazarus: Better this time?::Anna Manheim: Better.::Joshua Lazarus: You're fuzzy, you know.::Anna Manheim: I know - I thought it had to be this way, but you're not.::Joshua Lazarus: [He smiles] We'll fix it for you.::Anna Manheim: I'm - it's okay, it doesn't bother me.::Joshua Lazarus: Don't worry. It's an easy technique.

[Joshua has just met Anna in the market and returns to the car, where Bridger is waiting for his report]::Bridger: What'd you get?::Joshua Lazarus: Well, some vodka for me, and...::[teasing her]::Joshua Lazarus: ...for you, a laxative. Cherry flavor.::Bridger: [She's not amused] What did you get from the girl?

[Joshua is in a restaurant when Anna enters and takes a seat, many tables away. She shuts her eyes and concentrates. He enters her mind, where she is sitting in a room with rectangles of different colors on the walls, as in paintings by Mondrian]::Joshua Lazarus: Nice place you have here. Very... organized.::Anna Manheim: [Teasingly] Are you talking to me? I don't recall inviting you in.::Joshua Lazarus: No, I was talking to the busboy. He's a telepath, too.

Joshua Lazarus: We need order. It's how Sandy teaches us to deal with the chaos.::Anna Manheim: Who's Sandy?::Joshua Lazarus: Sandy taught me everything. Who trained you?::Anna Manheim: What do you mean?::Joshua Lazarus: I mean, who taught you to use your abilities?::Anna Manheim: No one.::Joshua Lazarus: That's not possible. You can't fight the voices on your own.::Anna Manheim: You don't have to fight them. It took me years to learn that.::Joshua Lazarus: I don't follow you.

Joshua Lazarus: You missed my birthday, by the way.::Kira: Happy belated condolences.::Joshua Lazarus: Both made it to 28, huh? What are the chances of that?

Joshua Lazarus: I'm... I'm... good.::Kira: [She looks skeptical] You're "good."::[Referring to scopers:]::Kira: We don't do "good."

Plot: "Tonto" Daily fails as a cowpuncher for Weston, wealthy cattleman, and is demoted to chuck-wagon driver. He falls even lower, in Weston's estimation, when he loses the wagon in a river crossing and imperils the life of Nina, Weston's daughter. Porky and Tex, two worthless cowboys, who aspire to own a pig farm, learn that Daily has inherited a fortune and they beg him to invest in their pig-farm venture. Daily declines. In spite of his bumbling mistakes, Munther, the ranch foreman, and a rustler on the side, keeps Daily around. He assigns him to guard 5,000 longhorn cattle in the Weston stockyards. When he falls asleep, Munther and Joe Gilbert, a suitor for Nina's hand, steal six hundred head of cattle and hide them in a cavern below the Mexico border. Daily flees the situation and invests money in the pig farm, but his heart is still with the cows. Porky and Tex take him to a Mexican border cantina, and they spread the report that their friend is really the notorious outlaw, the Tonto Kid, from "under the Tonto Rim." Nina is also at the cantina, accompanied by Gilbert, and she is thrilled to learn that Daily is a bold, bad man. Gilbert exposes Daily for the meek man he really is and has a bouncer throw him into the street. Nina's sudden scorn changes Daily into a roaring, two-fisted he-man, cleans out the saloon, commandeers a couple of horses, takes Nina prisoner and escapes.
