Therefore She Is


 * [Devoe and Marlize's first meeting at a classroom panel discussion at Oxford]
 * DeVoe: The Taoists, in pursuit of immortality, discovered gunpowder. Alfred Nobel created the Nobel Prize so he wouldn't be remembered as the man who invented dynamite. History has shown us time and time again that whenever a technological advancement can be used to hurt humanity, it will be.
 * Marlize: You can't blame technology for the way men choose to use it, Professor.
 * DeVoe: You can't ignore that the best of ideas by the smartest of men often have a way of becoming corrupted.


 * [At the Vandermeer Steel crime scene]
 * Cisco: Okay. So, where shall we start? I'm thinking, if we can gain acc– [Barry races around the rooms at super-speed, accessing and reading the computer files.] –ess to their files...
 * Barry: Alloy 1771? I mean, that's the only item missing from the inventory files.
 * Cisco: Or I can just... stand here and look pretty.


 * DeVoe: Severity of our society's failings require extreme ideas if ever we were to restore some semblance of balance.
 * Marlize: [reading from DeVoe's journal] Technology has become a cancerous cell in our social biology. Excising [DeVoe tries and fails to grab the journal] would require a total purge, not only of the material world, but also human consciousness? This is not valance! This is lobotomizing people.
 * DeVoe: This is rebooting the masses' brains, to let them forget their technological crutches. They are babies with pacifiers.
 * Marlize: How and who will teach them? You, professor? How does any of this help humankind?
 * DeVoe: Don't you see? Marlize, our technology is killing us! And you and I, we can fix this, together. [kneels] As partners, we can lead them, all of society, humanity, on the true path to enlightenment.
 * [Marlize gives DeVoe back the journal and walks out]


 * Cecile: Harry, I know this is hard.
 * Harry: [scoffs] Well... it is hard... D.A. Cecile Horton, because my brain, the one thing that has defined me for, well, pretty much my entire life, is about to [snaps his fingers] ... vanish, and then what'll I be?
 * Cecile: You'll be the exact same man you've always been.
 * Harry: Yeah, but dumb. Same man. Waaaay less intelligent.
 * Cecile: Harry, there are lots of ways to be intelligent. [taps her chest] Not just using your head.


 * [Marlize prepares to leave Devoe.]
 * DeVoe: The Enlightenment will come for you, too, Marlize. I will be all that remains.
 * Marlize: [mockingly] Oh, Clifford. You are nothing without me. [rises up on DeVoe's battle chair and disappears]
