Quotes
-
Ian O'Shea : Her name is Wanda, not "it."
-
Wanderer/Wanda : You tried to kill me, and now you're protecting me?
Ian O'Shea : [beat] Strange world, isn't it?
Wanderer/Wanda : [smiles] The strangest.
-
Ian O'Shea : Wanda, I just want you to know that, uh... I trust you and I believe you're telling us the truth, but I... I gotta ask, what's it like for you and her, living in there together?
Wanderer/Wanda : It's... crowded.
-
Wanderer/Wanda : You know, it's not really me you like. It's this body. You couldn't care for me.
[taking his hand]
Wanderer/Wanda : If you could hold me - me... in your hand - you'd be disgusted.
[pause]
Wanderer/Wanda : You'd crush me.
Ian O'Shea : You don't know that.
-
Jared Howe : What the hell has gotten into everybody? Huh? It is the enemy. Don't forget it.
Ian O'Shea : You don't feel bad at all. I half-killed her.
Jared Howe : It doesn't matter. It's not human.
Ian O'Shea : So we stop acting human?
-
Ian O'Shea : It's a strange world.
Wanda : The strangest.
Jeb : [narrating] Our world isn't like the other worlds they came to. The way they see it, human beings are just so... alien. But if one of them can find a way to live with one of us, I wonder.
-
Jared Howe : [after Wanda picks up some supplies] I liked it better when we were stealing.
Ian O'Shea : You spoil everything, Wanda.
-
Ian O'Shea : Is there any way Melanie can give us some... some privacy, look the other way a moment, step into the other room?
Melanie Stryder : [voice speaking only to Wanda] You wish.
Wanderer/Wanda : I don't think that's possible right now.
-
Ian O'Shea : I like you, Wanda.
Wanderer/Wanda : [smiling] I like you too, Ian.
Melanie Stryder : You did *not* say that.
Ian O'Shea : No, not- not like that.
[runs his hand along her arm]
Melanie Stryder : Get his hands off me. This can't work. What are you doing?
Ian O'Shea : Let me guess: you're of 2 minds about it.
[she nods]
Ian O'Shea : This about Jared?
Melanie Stryder : Yes, it's about Jared!
Wanderer/Wanda : Melanie's in love with him.
Ian O'Shea : And you?
Melanie Stryder : Tell him.
[beat]
Melanie Stryder : Tell him!
Wanderer/Wanda : This body loves him. Since it is now my body... so do I.
[after a silence]
Wanderer/Wanda : But I also have feelings of my own.
Melanie Stryder : No you don't!
