Adelle: “You don’t have to do it, you know? At least not alone.”
Topher: “I do. I’ll fix what we did to their heads. You fix what we did to the rest of the world. Your job’s WAY harder.”
Adelle: We need to know what it is.
Topher: Yes, well, we will… When I figure it out.
Adelle: And reverse the effects, are you making any progress-
Topher: I’m working! What are you doing besides… being…
Adelle: Being what?
Topher: Wait a minute…
Adelle: Sarcastic? Unfeeling? British?
Topher: It’s an animal.
Adelle: (looks around) Where?
Topher: No, the word!
Adelle: Still, you have to admit, I am very British. I don’t say hard R’s.
Topher: You know what I like? Brown sauce. What’s it made of? Science doesn’t know!
Adelle: It’s made of brown.
Topher: Brown… mined from the earth by the hardscrabble brown miners of North Brownderton!

Claire Let’s stop playing games.
Topher Ok, how does this qualify as not playing games?
Claire Because this is the end game. This is where is all leads. You design someone to hate you so you can convince them to love you.
Topher Hey, I could whip up a love slave any day I want.
Claire But that wouldn’t be a challenge would it? Slaves are just slaves and winning over your enemy, the one person guaranteed to reject everything you are, that’s real love. More real than anything up in the world. And I understand it now. I love you. I love you
Topher You need a freaking treatment!!
Claire: Why shouldn’t I love you? Aren’t you lovable? Aren’t you Big Brother? Aren’t you the lord my god? Why should I fight your divine plan?
Topher: Because you’re better than that. Because you’re better than me…Dollhouse 2.01 - “Vows”
