- Adelle DeWitt: Everyone has their first date... and the object is to hide your flaws. And then you're in a relationship and it's all about hiding your disappointment. Then once you're married it's about hiding your sins.
- Echo: I wanna start with him.
- [looks at Topher]
- Topher Brink: Uh.
- [chuckles nervously]
- Topher Brink: I'm not the spy. I discovered the spy. Remember? The spy was operating under my nose!
- Echo: Which means you're either dangerously incompotent, or you're trying to throw us off your trail.
- Laurence Dominic: I'm sorry I ever doubted your programming skills.
- Echo: I can help you.
- Topher Brink: Why would you want to?
- Echo: Why wouldn't I?
- Topher Brink: Eh. Did I just lose an argument to a doll? Okay, um, thanks, but you can't... help.
- Mellie: The Dollhouse deals in fantasy, but that is not their purpose. Investigate their purpose. We will find other ways to contact you.
- Paul Ballard: Who? Who sent you?
- Mellie: I'm not imprinted with information you're not supposed to have.
- Paul Ballard: Tell me who!
- Mellie: Remember, you can't tell her. You must maintain the illusion.
- Paul Ballard: Wait!
- Mellie: [Changes back] Paul, what's wrong?
- Paul Ballard: Nothing.
- Mellie: Then why aren't you kissing me?
- Laurence Dominic: Did Rossum tell you why they're calling you in?
- Adelle DeWitt: Considering our recent track record, I'm sure they want to pat me on the head and tell me I've been running a crackerjack operation. Maybe there'll be cake.
- Roger: [to Selena] Well, if I weren't madly in love with Katherine, I'd shanghai you myself.
- Ramirez: I'd take S&M Barbie over him anyday. Come on, your geriatric princess awaits.
- [Selena and Victor walk away. Echo hits Selena with her whip, Selena yells in pain]
- Echo: It's love. Show some respect.
- [Selena and Victor continue on their way. Echo talks to Boyd]
- Echo: Sometimes it *is* about the pain.
- Echo: I needed one more sign to confirm my suspicions.
- Laurence Dominic: And what sign would that be?
- Echo: 20 seconds ago you unsnapped your holster.
- Echo: What's in store for you... you don't have anything to smile about.
- Laurence Dominic: After you beat me to a pulp, they're going to erase me... but first, they're going to erase you.
- Echo: I can take care of myself.
- Laurence Dominic: I know. That's why I'm smiling. Cause one day... you'll be erasing them. Even after all this... they still won't see it coming.
- Adelle DeWitt: It's ironic. Sometimes I think you're the most real person I've ever met.
- Roger: That's not irony. No one gets that right.
- Echo: [as a dominatrix] Everyone thinks it's about the pain. It's not about the pain, it's about trust. Handing yourself over, fully and completely, to another human being, there's nothing more beautiful than letting go like that.
- Boyd Langton: In my experience, that kind of trust always leads to pain.
- Echo: Then maybe you need a session in my dungeon, so I can show you otherwise.
- Boyd Langton: Thanks, I think I'll pass.
- Boyd Langton: We have a spy?
- Topher Brink: Inside the Dollhouse.
- Boyd Langton: [Looks around] And you think it's me? You think *I'm* the spy.
- Topher Brink: Not in a bad way.
- Boyd Langton: If they find out that you talked to me before you talked to DeWitt, they'll fry you.
- Topher Brink: Yeah. I didn't really think that through.
- Boyd Langton: Thank you.
- Topher Brink: Oh, come on. Hey, I'm boned anyway. I call DeWitt. She's gonna take it out on Dominic. And who's Dominic gonna take it out on?
- Paul Ballard: [to Mellie] The Dollhouse is way bigger than I ever thought it was. Everytime I look deeper, I find more clients, larger amounts of money and a web of financial and political connections all over the world to coporations, the government, even inside the FBI.
- Mellie: I'm sorry we had to deliver the news to you like this, in this body. The Dollhouse has likely discovered that we've been placing messages in their imprints and this is the only way we could get the message to you.
- Paul Ballard: They did this to you.
- Mellie: They did this long before you met me. They've been using this body to spy on you for months. The only reason Mellie exists is because of you.
- Paul Ballard: Aren't I special.
- Boyd Langton: We're pimps and killers, but in a philanthropic way. Can I go now?
- Echo: I don't know why I trust you. But I do.
- Boyd Langton: I must have one of those faces.
- Ivy: [as Echo and the mole are fighting] Shouldn't we help?
- Topher Brink: Yeah. I helped when I imprinted her with Kung Fu skills, but be my guest.
- Adelle DeWitt: [to Topher about Echo] She just saved the Dollhouse. Keep an eye on her. Echo might be useful to us in ways we haven't yet realized.
- Boyd Langton: I appreciate the offer, but I prefer to stay with Echo. I need to take care of her.
- Adelle DeWitt: Apparently you don't. It seems she's the one taking care of us.
- Echo: I can take care of myself.
- Laurence Dominic: I know, that's why I'm smiling. 'Cause one day, you'll be erasing them. And even after all this, they still won't see it coming. Sooner or later, everybody gets theirs.
- Paul Ballard: [Paul and Mellie kissing, Mellie suddenly stops] Too much? Too fast?
- [Sniffs his armpits]
- Paul Ballard: Do I smell that bad?
- Mellie: I have a message for you from inside the Dollhouse.
- Paul Ballard: That's not funny.
- Mellie: My name is November.
- Echo: [Imprint is done, she gets up out of the chair] I need copies of personnel records, security logs for the past three months and access to your mainframe.
- Topher Brink: Uh... anything else?
- Echo: Yeah, some clothes. I can't catch a spy in my pajamas.
- Paul Ballard: [inside his barricaded apartment] I'm giving you an option. You can go out that door.
- Mellie: I'm pretty sure I won't be able to open it.
