Miss Parker : [Jarod and Miss Parker are on the phone - talking about the events that had transpired that day] I hope you find your mother.
Jarod : And what about... *us*?
Miss Parker : You run - I chase. That choice was made for us a long time ago.
Jarod : Maybe *that* is the "Parker Curse".
Miss Parker : [wips away a tear] Yeah. Hell of a life we live in, Jarod.
-
Miss Parker : [picks up phone] What?
Jarod : [slightly annoyed] You've been chasing me for five years. Why don't you leave me alone?
-
Jarod : [after missing seeing his mother by mere seconds] She was right here. My mother was right here in front of me. And once again, it's the Centre that stops us from being together.
-
Jarod : [talking by a fire - Jarod had just put a blanket around Miss Parker shoulders to keep her warm] The Centre wants us to believe that finding the truth is a mistake, that looking for answers about who we really are is futile and finding any kind of... connection outside their control is wrong. I know you don't want to hear this but you can feel it. You've been a Centre prisoner all these years just like me. And with every discovery you find you're every bit the outcast. Just like me.
Miss Parker : Why is it that the one person that I've been trained to distrust, to hate, to capture is always with me during the most difficult moments of my life?
Jarod : [voice barely above a whisper] Maybe, it's supposed to be that way.
[they lean closer until they are close enough to kiss]
-
Jarod : We've been through a lot together you and me. From when we were kids at the Centre, to the last couple of days. I know that barely our allegiances are the same but I've always felt...
[sigh]
Jarod : I've always known that there's something more to our lives than I run and you chase.
Miss Parker : [staring out the window of the car at her father] Maybe we do what we have to, to get by in this life.
Jarod : Maybe we both deserve something more.
Miss Parker : [voice breaking slightly] Just forget what happened on that island, forget that moment of weakness. Turning points only come when you've got something to turn to.
[Jarod looks hurt by her rejection. In a silent plea, he grabs her hand into both of his. After a few seconds of staring into each others eyes, Parker yanks her hand out of his hands]
Miss Parker : I'm sorry. This isn't the different ending you were looking for. But it's just the way the damn story goes, Jarod.
-
Jarod : [Jumping out of a third floor window] Are you alright?
Miss Parker : I've been better
-
Jarod : [about a statue] Meet the demon Asmodeus.
Miss Parker : Ugly son of a bitch!
[Small pause]
Miss Parker : Reminds me of Raines.
