  Chloe : He came back again last night and tore me like paper. He opened me like a flower of pain, and it felt good. He sank into me and set me on fire, like he always does. Made me burn from the inside out.

  Miranda : Stop what?

  Chloe : Stop fucking me!

• Miranda : I am a rational person. I believe in science. I don't believe in the paranormal, and I don't believe in ghosts. But if you are the ghost of Rachel Parsons, then you would let me out of this cell.

• Dr. Douglas Grey : [handing a Miranda a glass of water]  Throw it on the mirror. This is what she sees now.

  Miranda : A distorted image of herself.

  Dr. Douglas Grey : Who are you in all this?

  Miranda : I'm the mirror.

  Dr. Douglas Grey : You are the mirror.

  Miranda : If I'm the mirror and she's the image... then who are you?

  Dr. Douglas Grey : I can see both of you... so I'm God. Or just an overworked hospital beaurocrat.

  Miranda : "God" is good.

  Phil Parsons : No, Miranda, no.

  Miranda : How is she? Where is she?

  Phil Parsons : It's impossible.

  Miranda : This is the girl I've been seeing. This girl, right here.

  Miranda : I'm dreaming.

• Miranda : How long have I been in here?

  Pete : Yes?

  Miranda : But there... There was a detour.

  Sheriff Ryan : [in flashback]  Oh, hey, tell Doug to give me a call...

  Miranda : So I had to go over the bridge, so I went over the bridge.
