Elliot Alderson : This whole time, I thought changing the world was something you did, an act you performed, something you fought for. I don't know if that's true anymore. What if changing the world was just about being here, by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don't belong, by staying true even when we're shamed into being false, by being true to ourselves even when we're told we're too different. And if we all held onto that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough, just maybe... The world can't help but change around us. Even though we'll be gone, it's like Mr. Robot said. We'll always be a part of Elliot Alderson. And we'll be the best part, because we're the part that always showed up. We're the part that stayed. We're the part that changed him. And who wouldn't be proud of that?

Elliot Alderson : Come on. This only works if you let go too.

Elliot Alderson : I'm not him. Darlene... I'm not Elliot. I'm only apart of him.
Darlene : [sighs]
Darlene : I know. I know you're not him. Not the Elliot I grew up with, at least. I've known since we started fsociety. You don't act like him. At first, I thought... maybe it was you but different. But then when you forgot who I was again, it wasn't hard to figure it out from there.
Elliot Alderson : How come you never said anything?
Darlene : I don't know. We were hanging out. We were spending time together. It felt like we were finally getting close. I guess I didn't want that to stop.
Elliot Alderson : How come you two weren't close before? What did he do?
Darlene : He didn't do anything. It was me. I wasn't there for him. I didn't know how to talk to him. I couldn't deal with what he was going through, so I... gave up and... took off. That was part of the reason why I came back. I wanted to fix things. But he was gone, and you were here instead. Is he... is he okay?
Elliot Alderson : I made a safe place for him. It's got everything he ever wanted.
Darlene : Good. He deserves that. You know, even though I bailed on him, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I really miss him. Uh, I'm gonna go get the nurse. Fucking hospital. Shitty as it's always been.
Darlene : [gets up and heads to the door]
Elliot Alderson : Darlene?
Darlene : [Turns back to him]
Elliot Alderson : I'm wrong. He doesn't have everything. And even though I'm only a part of him... I want you to know I love you.

Elliot Alderson : Hello, friend. God, that's always been lame, hasn't it? Sorry I never came up with a better name for you. Then again, I don't even have a name. Just a guy trying to play God without permission.

Elliot Alderson : You told me once that this would be a black void, absolute nothingness. Is that true?
Mr. Robot : We'll always be part of him, kiddo.

[Stands up in defiance]
Elliot Alderson : No.
Krista Gordon : Don't do this.
Elliot Alderson : I don't ever have to give up control.
Krista Gordon : This isn't your control, this is your rage.
Elliot Alderson : Maybe it's time I start using it.
Krista Gordon : If you wake up you'll just be stealing Elliot's life again.
Elliot Alderson : It's my life. It always will be.
-
Elliot Alderson : I don't remember any of this. Why should I trust you? You've been wrong before.
Krista Gordon : You're right. She was wrong. Krista never quite figured it out, did she? She never realized she wasn't talking to the real Elliot. She didn't realize she was always talking to you.
