"I start throwing the word "dollhouse" around, my people, they look at me like I'm a tourist." "I can't afford that." "Maybe you're too small-time." "It's a myth, okay?"

"She wouldn't freeze up?" "She'll be fine, mama rose." "What's the deal with rayna?" "You got the inside edition." "Is she cool?" "What's she like?" "If you like shallow, vapid, narcissistic girls."

"That was so cool." "I'm a southie." "So, agent ballard." "Maybe I got something for you after all." "It used to be called the devonshire hotel." "You know, big noise back when hollywood still had its dignity." "If it's abandoned, what am I looking for?" "The basement." "If people were being held, they probably would have been down there." "Hey, I'm getting this third-hand." "I still think it goes nowhere." "Then why call?" "Because you inspire terrible pity." "Watch your back." "you wanted to mess with the borodins?"

"My music touches people, so they want to touch me back." "Shouldn't the cops be getting all this stuff?" "Oh, those are old." "This one isn'T." "It mentions last night's show." "These are all from the same guy." "It's him." "The one they're all afraid of." "You're communicating with him?" "He's my #1 fan." "Audra's a sweet girl, but... she's got nothing on him." "Yo, he's not a fan." "He's insane." "What do you know?" "You're a background singer." "A wannabe." "A nothing." " three minutes!" " Show time." "The biggest show ever." "TONIGHT" "WILL BE YOU LAST..." "GOODBYE!" "Don't do this!" "This is what I do." "He's gonna kill you." "I think you know that." "You have no idea what it's like." "You can't go out there." "You don't tell me what I can and can't do." "You want him to shoot you." "On stage." "Tonight." "You're crazier than he is." "I'm not crazy." "I just wanto be free." "Biz!"

"What up, los angeles?" "he's here." "I feel it." "I know it." "Stop the show." " Because the background singer said so?" " Do it." "There's no way psycho got through security." "U know how many extra guys I hired just for tonight?" "Just relax." "Hey, wait a minute." "rayna, get down!" "we got gunshot wounds to the right lower abdomen." "Can you hear me?" "What's your name, buddy?" "chest sounds are good;" "no sign of hothorax." "He's cyanotic." "I thought the lungs checked out." " Must be the gases." " I'm gonna lay some pvc." "He's gonna arrest..." "any... minute." "Here we go." "What the hell is wrong with you?" " With me?" " You shut down my show." "I saved your life." "You've got no understanding of my life." "Okay, are there any drugs you're not on?" "The guy was about to put a bullet in you, which, ps:" "Also stops the show." "You disappointed all those people." "I was gonna give 'em a show." "Now all they'll say is I didn't give 'em a finish." "They don't want to see you die." "Did they grow you in a lab?" "Do you know anything about people?" "They'd love to see me die." "80 years old, they'd be talking about tonight-- they was there when." "Rayna... you are not okay, okay?" "You are having a breakdown." "Not a shave-your-head, flash-your-junk whacky phase." "You are truly unwell." "So he puts me out of my misery." "What misery?" "What have you got to be miserable about?" "No." "Right, uh..." "I got to be happy." "I got to be grateful.I got to be rebellious-- but just enough to give me cred, so people know I'm not a factory girl." "But I am." "I don't exist." "I'm not a real person." "I'm everybody's fantasy." "And god help me if I try not to be." "no, you weren't grown in the lab, but I was." "been singing for my supper since when and before when for everybody else!" "God put this voice in me and forgot to make it mine." "I don't feel it." "I don't feel anything." "For a long while." "But I know he's out there, the reaper, and any minute now...freedom." "There's your rush." "There's your joy." "I can hear." "I can hear myself." "I think you hear yourself just fine." "Maybe you want to listen to someone else, like, say, ever." " You don't like your life, change it." " They won't let me!" "You make them let you." "You're feeling pain, but all you're doing is spreading it around." "The last thing I ever thought you'd turn out to be was weak." "I want you out of here." "You say anything to biz, I'll tell every psycho fan I got right where you live, and you won't last a day." "oh, this gig was supposed to change everything for me and now I'm thinking it did." "Get your scrawny ass out of my sp... you can fire me,ut, bitch, don't think you can take me." "Have fun with your fan." "uh, excuse me." "Sir, sir, um, I'm supposed to be inside." "Um, I'm rayna's #1 fan." "I was onstage." "Go around back." "Ask for a guy with a clipboard." "Look what you've done, rayna." "You messed it all up." "And I want to be able to forgive you, but... your actions lately... who is this?" "I came to get my stuff." "I thought something might have happened to you, too." "What do you mean?" "Seems like it wasn't such a good idea to be seen out with rayna." "Why her?" "How is she your #1 fan?" "You gave her what was mine." "And I know you said we could never meet in person because it... because it would diminish what we have." "It would ruin our moment." "Now, you will come meet me in person, and i will not shoot this girl in the brains." "Lunatic." "I kill for you, you die for me." "That was the deal." "I want to fulfill my part, rayna." "You have my number." "Call me." ""Calme"?" "You did this?" "Ten years." "Never done that." "She wanted this." "All of it." "Otherwise, I never would have... getting what you want may not be the best thing for a person." "You're supposed to be with her." "She fired me." "Does that make a difference?" "No." "I don't know why, but... even after everything that's happened, I..." "I have to help her." "sierra has been kidnapped." "She drew his focus away from rayna." " Well, that was a good call." " Thank you." "Her handler's outside the location." "I told him to wait for our team." "Yes, that's best." "Echo?" "On task." "Still protecting rayna." "Are you a fan, mr." "Dominic?" " I'm sorry?" " Rayna-- do you like her music?" "I don't know if being a fan has very much to do with that." "Not at the level we're dealing with." "No." "Get the girl." "Close it out." "Do it." "I don't want to." "You got to be near her." "To smell her." "To touch her." "This... is your big day." "Your time to shine." " I can't remember." " Do it!" "* Don't want to burst your bubble * * don't want to waste your time *" "* I got a feeling your priorities are out of line * * even though I know you're trouble you're gonna do just fine *" "* I got a feeling it's time for you to shine * * you're such a star go on and take it away * * go on and take it away *" "* You'll play my heart with every word that you say *" " * and toss it and tear it up, rip it...* - no, no." "What are you doing you scared me." "I scared you?" "After all this, I scared you?" "Why are you here?" "I fired you." "Look, I'm not here to fight, rayna." "I'm sorry for the things that I said." "I just want to know how I can help." "You can leave." "Then what are you gonna do?" "The show must go on." "You can't be serious." "This isn't just about you anymore, rayna." "Someone else is in danger." "We called the police." "What else do you want from me?" "You know this guy." "You know what he's capable of." "You could stop him from hurting audra." "I can't stop him." "You could try." "She's your friend." "She's a fan." "She'd want me to continue." "Rayna..." "I know you don't feel anything, or think that you don't, but you will." "You will if you do something to save this girl." "And you will help this girl." "What makes you think... friends help each other out." "Clear." "Hi, fan #1." "My name is jordan." "I have rayna." "I want to make an exchange." "No funny stuff." "I'll meet you where the original plan was supposed to go down." "You can have her." "What the hell's the matter with you?" "Are you doing this on purpose or you just terrible at your job?" "Neither." "Doing what?" "Echo's off task." "Your little brainchild just backfired." "Okay, okay, first of all, wow." "Secondly, echo's hardwired to protect the client." "Now, sometimes these things play out differently than we anticipate." "You'd better check your tech!" "That's enough!" "You're in my house, lawrence!" "Of the two people here, one of us is a genius, and the other is a security guard in a very lovely suit." "All right, genius, tell me why echo would kidnap the girl you programmed her to protect and bring her to the man who's trying to kill her." "that does sound kind of bad." "you wanted to die." "This would be a "careful what you wish for" moment." "Let her go." "And let her fall to her death?" "But then I'd have nothing to bargain with." "You drop her, and this girl will have a big hole right in her head." "This girl for rayna now." "How about this?" "You let audra go, throw the gun down there, and I will hand you rayna." "You can do whatever you want with her." "Because, honestly, I don't care if rayna lives." "She wants to die, and you want to kill her." "So, basically, nobody wants rayna to make it to tomorrow." "I do." "it's not about killing her." "It's about giving her what she wants." "Then this is a big, magical moment for the two of you... shut up!" "you can't possibly understand what we have together." "True." "Maybe rayna can explain." "I'm so sorry." "Please let me go." "I don't want to hurt anybody." "I'm sorry." "No!" "Please!" "I'm sorry." "In position." "I have a clear shot." "We're ready to eliminate the threat." "Ma'am?" "Not just yet." "I don't want to hurt anymore." "That's really up to him." " He decides your fate, right?" " No." "Please." "He's crazy." "I guess it's not love after all." "She doesn't mean it then." "I'm sorry." "Rayna, I would never hurt you." "God, now you're changing your story, too?" "Shut up!" "I-I could kill you and have both girls." " I could kill everybody." " No!" " She doesn't seem to like that idea..." " shut up!" "Shut up!" "I will shoot you." "And then I'll let go." "You don't want to die." "You don't want her dead." "This is way too confusing." "Is rayna okay?" "Please don't let me die." "I want to live!" "I know." "I will have quite the story to tell when I get back to brisbane." "What do you mean?" "This is what every day is like in america." "Well, part of it was dreadful, but it was by far the most exciting, fulfilling, wonderful day of my life." "and you're the scariest one of all." "That's all I need:" "You rubbing off on her." "Who the hell are you?" "Audra, time for your treatment." "What's wrong with him?" "Are you ready for your treatment?" "All right, but can I kick that guy's ass first?" "I will seriously consider it." "She's a risk." "An increasing risk." "She had control over the situation." "But we can't control her." "I'm recommending that we send echo to the attic." "Before someone else ends up dead, or worse, she compromises this organization." "I believe she acted in our best interest." "She went off mission!" "In fact, I believe she did quite the opposite." "She stopped the person who wanted rayna dead." "It just happened to be rayna herself, and by quite literally dangling the threat of death in front of her, she prevented rayna from ever being a danger to herself in the future." " Echo took the mission parameter..." " and did even better." "She seems to have the ability to think outside of the pieces that we give her and then create." "Create a new approach to the problem." "It's impressive." "I don't know what it means, but it's impressive." "She really is special." "Special isn't always a good thing here, boyd." "Dewitt's a businesswoman." "Is she really gonna harm her best active?" "Echo wasn't always the best." "You're talking about alpha." "I'm just saying sometimes the best thing to hope for is good enough."
