Ethan Powell : [Farewell letter to Dr. Calder] Dear Theo: I'm sorry I'm not there to say goodbye. You were right. Freedom is not just a dream. It's there, on the other side of those fences we build all by ourselves. Thank you for giving me hope and for giving me back my daughter. And I thank you, Theo, for sharing this journey with me. Your friend, Ethan.

Theo Calder : Okay, so, you don't wanna talk. But your daughter needs you. So what do you say to her?
Ethan Powell : 'Goodbye.' I talked. There. Have I made your fucking day?

Theo Calder : Well, he thought you were a gorilla.
Ethan Powell : No! Not a gorilla. For the first time in history a gorilla reached out to a man. Do you know how significant that is?
