Episode Quotes |

Father: Is she awake?
Vincent: Yes. She's very frightened.
Father: How could you bring a stranger down here? To where we live! You ignored our most important rule.
Vincent: I know that. But there was no other way.
Father: Do you know what they'd do if they caught you up there? Or found you down here? They'd kill you. Or put you behind bars and make you wish you were dead. How could you?
Vincent: How could I have turned my back on her, and left her there?
| Father: (to Vincent) You know, you have the soul of a doctor. When I studied medicine, they wouldn't admit minorities. Wonder what they would have done with you? Let's not even think about it.
| Vincent: We're below the city, below the subways. There's a whole world of tunnels and chambers that most people don't even know exists. There are no maps to where we are. It's a forgotten place. But it's warm, and it's safe, and we have all the room we need. So we live here and we try to live as well as we can. And we try to take care of each other. It's our city down here.
Catherine: What are you doing down here? Why are you here?
Vincent: I was a baby... abandoned... left to die. Someone found me, brought me here to the man who became my father. He took me, he raised me, he taught me everything...and he named me Vincent. That's where I was found, near the hospital, St. Vincent's.
Catherine: I don't know what to believe.
Vincent: It's all true.
| Catherine: I owe you everything.
Vincent: You owe me nothing. I am a part of you, Catherine just as you are a part of me. Wherever you go, wherever I am, I'm with you.
| Vincent: I've seen your world. There is no place for me in it. I know what I am. Your world is filled with frightened people and I remind them of what they are most afraid of.
Catherine: Their own ignorance.
Vincent: Their aloneness.
Catherine: Yes.
| Catherine: So sue me.
Catherine's Father: It's a little late for that, I should have sued you when you were five.
| Vincent: Catherine, you survived. And what you endured will make you stronger and better.
Catherine: I don't have your strength. I don't know how to do it.
Vincent: You have the strength, Catherine, you do. I know you.
