Quotes 

• [Alison practices her British accent in front of Felix] 

  Alison Hendrix : [Alison closes her eyes]  The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.

  Felix : Okay, Eliza. Holy shit. We need to pull a full reverse Pygmalion here.

• [Cosima tells Felix and Sarah a little bit about the fish knife] 

  Cosima Niehaus : Wow, rich, man. This looks like a new blade insert in a much older handle, so the fish is a bitch, semiotically speaking, like a universal wayback symbol of fecundity. But these wings, though, they're...

  Felix Dawkins : Seriously, what is she on about?

  Sarah Manning : Quiet. She's just weird.

• [Sarah tells Felix about her one really idiotic idea] 

  Sarah Manning : I do have one really idiotic idea.

  Felix Dawkins : [Felix gasps]  Oh, good.

  Sarah Manning : I need to be in two places at once, yeah?

  Felix Dawkins : Yeah...

  Sarah Manning : Well, if anybody can do that, we can.

  Felix Dawkins : Are you effing serious?

  Sarah Manning : Yeah, suddenly, I am.

• [Alison tells Felix that Sarah is no stretch to impersonate] 

  Alison Hendrix : Well, I did just play Annelle in 'Steel Magnolias'.

  Felix Dawkins : Seriously?

  Alison Hendrix : Mm-hmm. Glendale community theatre.

  Felix Dawkins : Annelle, Annelle... oh, my God! The Daryl Hannah part?

  Alison Hendrix : Yeah.

  Felix Dawkins : Terrible casting.

  Alison Hendrix : It was actually very good acting, Felix. Trust me, Sarah's no stretch. I got great reviews.

  Felix Dawkins : From the whole neighborhood, I'm sure.

• [Felix tells Sarah that there's no way she's going back to being a cop] 

  Felix : No way. You're not going back to being Beth. Impersonating a dead officer, that's like a whole new crime.

  Sarah Manning : I think I'm safest with the cops, to be honest with you.

  Felix : Did that actually just come out of your mouth?

• [Alison learns of Sarah's plan to see Kira] 

  Alison Hendrix : [Alison laughs in distress]  I'm sorry, but she wants me to impersonate her, in front of her own daughter, who she hasn't seen in almost a year?

  Felix : 10 months.

  Alison Hendrix : This is terrible parenting, Felix.

• [Felix tells Alison that she needs to step up now] 

  Felix : Sarah is out there, risking her life, playing cat-and-mouse with killer clone, so that your kids don't end up orphans, and you think that she should lose her child for that?

  Felix : [Alison remains silent]  Yeah. I think you need to step up, here, sister.

• [Felix continues to help Alison with her British accent] 

  Felix : These are your worst clothes?

  Alison Hendrix : [Alison talks with an Australian accent]  Well, I'm sorry, mate, but I don't shop secondhand.

  Felix : No, no, my God, no. It's not 'mate', all right? It's more like, um, it's like 'might'.

  Alison Hendrix : 'Might'.

  Felix : Yeah.

  Alison Hendrix : 'Ello, 'might'.

  Felix : Yeah, that's better. But, look, you're going to have to get past Mrs. S, so you really got to play the dreary history there, you know? I mean, you basically won't talk.

• [Felix talks to Sarah on the phone while he paints a picture of Cosima] 

  Felix : Is it my imagination, or does Cosima have bigger breasts than you?

• [Cosima tells Sarah that she needs to find Helena to get answers] 

  Cosima Niehaus : If she's not dead, we need to find her, find out what she knows.

  Felix Dawkins : Are you mad? She's a homicidal maniac.

  Cosima Niehaus : Yeah, but we need to find out who she is, Sarah. She's... She's... She found us. She's got answers.

  Sarah Manning : The only way I'm going to do that is go back to being a cop.

• [Sarah tells Felix she's between a rock and a hard place] 

  Sarah Manning : Rock and a hard place, here, Fe.

  Felix Dawkins : Yeah, your permanent address.

• [Sarah tells Felix that she can continue to shadow Art to find out more about Helena] 

  Sarah Manning : Look, Art's already looking for the killer. I shadow him as Beth, I let them figure out what's happened to her, and then, when I find that out, I can jump off and deal.

  Felix Dawkins : 'Deal'? I'm beginning to realize crazy's genetic.

• [Felix tells Cosima that his sister Sarah is sane in comparison to the rest of the clones] 

  Cosima Niehaus : Well, yeah, bad brain chemistry can be genetic, but environment... that's individual, right? I mean, that's the whole nature/nurture question right there.

  Felix : Okay, let's talk nature. Out of 9, so far, one's a psycho who killed 4 others, one committed suicide, one is a bloody soccer mum, and then, there's you. My crazy sister is sane, by comparison.

  Sarah Manning : Thanks, Fe.

• [Sarah tells Felix that she can't make it to see Kira for dinner] 

  Sarah Manning : There's no way I can make dinner with Kira tonight.

  Felix Dawkins : Well, you've got to.

  Sarah Manning : I can't. I'm stuck with Art and this bitch is right on top of me.

• [Felix arrives at Alison's house] 

  Alison Hendrix : [about Sarah]  What happened? Is she okay?

  Felix : Yeah, she's okay. She's fine.

  Alison Hendrix : That doesn't sound okay.

• [Felix tells Alison that she's a punk now that she's going to be impersonating Sarah] 

  Felix : This shirt is all wrong.

  Alison Hendrix : [as Felix starts to scissor into Alison's shirt]  Hey! Hey, hey!

  Felix : Not 'Hey'! You're a punk. Be one.

  Alison Hendrix : Oi!

• [Alison impersonates Sarah and tells Felix that she wants a cigarette] 

  Alison Hendrix : I'm gasping for a fag.

  Felix : No, you're not. Sarah never smoked.

• [Felix sees Alison over-slouching in her Sarah walk] 

  Felix Dawkins : Over-slouching. You're over-slouching.

  Alison Hendrix : Shut up.

  Felix Dawkins : Now you got it.

• [Felix comments on the peace that's made between Mrs. S and the Sarah-impersonating Alison] 

  Felix : Well, unleash the doves. World peace must be right around the corner.

  Siobhan Sadler : [Mrs. S smiles]  Piss off, you.
