Quotes 

• Bernard Lowe : The hosts can't hurt you by design.

  Ashley Stubbs : You don't have kids at home, do you, Bernard?

  Bernard Lowe : No.

  Ashley Stubbs : If you did, you'd know that they all rebel eventually.

• Bernard Lowe : Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

• Bernard Lowe : Last question Dolores. What if I told you that you were wrong? That there are no chance encounters? That you and everyone you know were built to gratify the desires of the people who pay to visit your world? The people you call the newcomers

  Bernard Lowe : What if I told you that you can't hurt the newcomers? And that they can do anything they want to you?

  Bernard Lowe : Would the things I told you change the way you think about the newcomers Dolores?

  Dolores Abernathy : No, of course not. We all love the newcomers. Every new person I meet reminds me how lucky I am to be alive, and how beautiful this world can be

• [Offline hostess, a hooker, touches her lip] 

  Bernard Lowe : Did you see it?

  Elsie King : No.

  Bernard Lowe : Give it a second. She'll do it again.

  [the hostess touches her lip again] 

  Bernard Lowe : Her finger. That's not standard. I noticed it last night. Went looking in the update. It's a whole new class of gestures.

  Elsie King : But if we didn't put it there, then who did?

  Bernard Lowe : Ford. He still reviews every update before we issue them. He must have slipped it in there without telling anyone. He calls them "Reveries". The old gestures were just generic movements. These are tied to specific memories.

  Elsie King : How?

  Bernard Lowe : The memories are purged at the end of every narrative loop. But they're still in there, waiting to be overwritten. He found a way to access them, like a subconscious.

  Elsie King : A hooker with hidden depths? Every man's dream.

  Bernard Lowe : It's the tiny things that make them seem real, that make the guests fall in love with them.

• [first lines] 

  [dark room, all lines voice-over] 

  Bernard Lowe : Bring her back online.

  [a ring of light appears, scarcely illuminating a blond female form. More lights turn on behind, straight segments surrounding areas containing more halo-like lights] 

  Bernard Lowe : Can you hear me?

  [the light over the female brightens. Though still draped in shadow, she is unmistakably nude] 

  Dolores Abernathy : [In Western accent]  Yes. I'm sorry. I'm... not feelin' quite myself.

  Bernard Lowe : You can lose the accent. Do you know where you are?

  [Dolores is in close-up as lights come up brighter. She is motionless, two dried spatters of blood on her cheek. A lone fly alights on her temple. The image slowly moves in] 

  Dolores Abernathy : [in standard accent]  I'm in a dream.

  Bernard Lowe : Would you like to wake up from this dream?

  Dolores Abernathy : Yes. I'm terrified.

  [the fly crosses her forehead to her nose, to between her eyes] 

  Bernard Lowe : There's nothing to be afraid of, Dolores, if you answer my questions correctly. Understand?

  [the fly moves to the inside corner of her eye and pauses] 

  Dolores Abernathy : Yes.

  Bernard Lowe : Good.

  [the fly moves to stand on the pupil of her eye and cleans its wings] 

  Bernard Lowe : First: have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?

  [With a buzz, the fly departs. Dolores has not reacted in the slightest. Jump to her asleep in her bed, birds chirping] 

  Dolores Abernathy : No.

  [Her eyes open] 

  Bernard Lowe : Tell us what you think of your world.

  Dolores Abernathy : [In Western accent]  Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world. The disarray. I choose to see the beauty... To believe there is an order to our days, a purpose.

• Theresa Cullen : This building isn't in any survey of the park.

  Bernard Lowe : That's because we use hosts to do most of the surveys. They're programmed to ignore this place. They literally couldn't see it if they were staring right at it.

  Theresa Cullen : And these unregistered hosts you told me about?

  Bernard Lowe : I don't know. He may have moved them.

  Theresa Cullen : What's behind this door?

  Bernard Lowe : What door?
