Hayley Atwell: Lucy

Quotes 

• Michael : You have a knack, I've noticed. You talk a lot, and the more you talk, the less you say. Is that something they teach you?

  Lucy : It's nerves. You make me... you make me nervous.

  Michael : We're here, and we're staying here, so you can talk all you want. But we're not leaving until you tell me two things. Who are you, and what do you want? Come on. Why me?

  Lucy : That's three things.

• Lucy : Curtis. That's the name I hear whispered all the time. Curtis. We have to go in there now.

  Michael : I, I...

  Lucy : No, I'm trying to help you here.

  Michael : I'm not going back there. Why... why should I trust you?

  Lucy : Because...

  Michael : Get out.

  Lucy : We don't have time for this. We have to go...

  Michael : Get out of my apartment.

  Lucy : [writing her number on his table]  You know, if you, um, change your mind, you can call me, okay?

• Lucy : When I asked for your phone, you already knew I'd been sent after you.

  Michael : It's Summakor. Everyone has a monitor. Perk of the job.

  Lucy : And you brought me here.

  Michael : Oh, you're free to go. But if you stay, we talk.

  Lucy : You know I'll stay.

  Michael : Let's not waste any more time.

  Lucy : I liked you. That wasn't a lie. If that was all, then I wouldn't have had the courage to approach you.

  Michael : So, what did give you the courage?

  Lucy : Your reports. You asked questions. You were different. You said things that I was feeling about what was going on in Summakor. You must know more than you realized. They wanted you stopped.

• Lucy : Tell me, why did you resign?

  Michael : To drink beer.

  Lucy : Up on the Purpose Floor, something is wrong. That is why I came looking for you. I thought it bothered you. I thought you wanted to know. And now you just wanna drink beer.

  Michael : Maybe I don't know what to think. Or who to trust. Maybe I'm just trying to hold on to my own mind here. Maybe drinking beer is easier.

  Lucy : You wanted to know. You stopped. Why?

  [realizing] 

  Lucy : Because you're already there.

  Michael : What do you mean I'm already there?

  Lucy : The people that you saw, the ones you said changed... the same thing has happened to you.
