Mutant X

Brennan:
Check it out. I've got 2 to 1 odds, $100 that Shalimar won't go through with it.

Jesse:
You know, this is the most important decision of her life. How could you be so cold?

Brennan:
Even odds?

Jesse:
You're on.

Barry:
You know what?

Brennan:
What?

Barry:
You throw energy. I *am* energy.

Brennan:
Your parents must be proud.

Adam:
Understanding your opponents weaknesses is important in everything.

Emma:
Then what are yours?

Adam:
None of your damn business.

Shalimar:
I shouldn't have worn these pants. My underwear is riding up big time.

Emma:
You're wearing underwear?

Shalimar:
You're not?

[to Shalimar in the garden]

Emma:
Are you just going to sit here and brood all day? Or are you just practicing intimidating the plants?

Shalimar:
The genetic code to manipulating free will is in that [Faberge] egg.

Zack:
It's amazing what's in eggs these days.

[after confronting a bear]

Brennan:
Why didn't you let me blast him?

Shalimar:
He's not our killer.

Brennan:
How do you know?

Shalimar:
I asked him.

Irina:
[after knocking Brennan over the head] What are you doing here?

Brennan:
I'd heard the girls are knockouts. Guess I should have asked what they meant.

Shalimar:
We just traveled through time and you're telling me not to freak out?

Shalimar:
Why don't you pick on somebody your own...my size?

Emma:
I grew up in Seattle,I can't believe I'm praying for rain.

Jesse:
20 bucks.

Brennan:
What?

Jesse:
We agreed that the first one who use his powers pays the other 20 bucks.

Brennan:
I should have let him crack you in the back of the head?

Jesse:
No. [pause] 20 bucks.

Brennan:
You know your lucky I'm a man of my word. [hands over $20 as he shocks Jesse]

Jesse:
Ow!

Brennan:
Oh, I'm sorry. I must have rubbed my feet on the carpet.

Jesse:
I never figured you as a sore loser.

Brennan:
Keep talking and I'll show you what sore really means.

Jesse:
Oh, that sounds like a threat.

Shalimar:
He was jett-propelled, I mean, how does that happen?

Brennan:
More importantly, we let those bastards get away with grabbing her.

Adam:
Well, sometimes discretion's a better part of valour.

Shalimar:
When have you ever known Brennan to be discreet?

Adam:
Well, there is that.

Brennan:
Guys, you know I'm going through something totally weird here and you're making fun of me?

Adam:
Hey, hey, where are you going? [waves finger at Brennan towards lab]

Brennan:
Adam, you know, I'm not really not in the mood for a tune-up right now.

Shalimar:
Come on, you big baby.

Brennan:
Can we just do this later?

Shalimar:
I'll hold your hand. [Shalimar pushes Brennan into the lab]

Jesse:
[Emma is pacing] Hey, I hope I'm not interrupting.

Emma:
No, I've just been trying to relax for the last hour.

Jesse:
Good, because the weirdest thing just happened to me at the safehouse.

Emma:
And just think, if I would have had a couple more minutes, I might have been able to relax.

Jesse:
Oooh, I'm sorry. I just truly thought I should tell somebody about this.

Emma:
So tell. [Emma starts pacing again]

Jesse:
Okay, so I met this girl.

Emma:
[Emma stops pacing] Why do all of your stories seem to start like that?

Morgan Fortier:
Welcome home, Gabriel. when you're rested, we're ready to work.

Gabriel Ashlocke:
Rested? I've been in a Genomex-induced coma my entire adult life. I'll get all the rest I need when I'm dead.

Dr. Kenneth Harrison:
We have several leads, but nothing concrete as to who might be in league with Ms. Fortier.

Mason Eckhart:
Yes, and meanwhile I've got a renegade number two out there, plotting who-knows-what with a potentially monstrous anomaly.

Dr. Kenneth Harrison:
We've beefed up security at every level, at every shift.

Mason Eckhart:
You better pray that is enough. Because if you think that Adam and his pack of super-powered hoodlums were a pain in the ass, Gabriel Ashlock gives new meaning to the term.

Adam:
Well, your bloodwork confirms what I've suspected from word one, which is that you're all experiencing what I can only call a new mutant growth spurt.

Brennan:
A growth spurt? [laughs] Well, that's interesting, because all of a sudden I'm rocket boy, and Shalimar's got eyes in the back of her head, Jesse's phasing stairwells and Emma's got a mental bazooka - and that's a growth spurt?

Emma:
[in the Double Helix with Brennan and Jesse] Ashlock's done something to Shalimar.

Jesse:
Brennan was right,we should have gone in and gotten her out when we had the chance.

Adam:
[walking through Sanctuary] No, you don't storm your enemy's stronghold when he's got a hostage - you wait till he makes his move, then you strike.

Brennan:
What makes you so sure he's going to make a move?

Adam:
[still walking through Sanctuary] Trust me.

Proxy Blue:
So far, no word on what caused that sudden explosion at Macklin Exporters, which left five dead.

Mason Eckhart:
Is this how you contain the problem? It seems to me you've only succeeded in exacerbating our predicament.

Harvey Lanchester:
The situation called for desperate measures.

Mason Eckhart:
Oh, and by "desperate measures" you mean blowing Macklin Exporters sky-high? What's next, public executions?

Harvey Lanchester:
Where you hiding Minhouse?

Brennan:
What difference does it make? You checked his place, he's clean.

Harvey Lanchester:
Hand him over now, and I might not hurt you.

Brennan:
Okay, let me think about that. Uh... no.

Jesse:
Adam, finally figured out what Macklin Exporters is involved in. [Jesse pauses] . Exporting.

Jay Minhouse:
Really, how am I ever going to make it up to you?

Shalimar:
Well, I'll tell you what. When this is all over, you can buy me a drink, and we'll call it even.

Jay Minhouse:
A drink for a life, yeah, that sounds pretty fair.

Shalimar:
Fine. Make it dinner.

Shalimar:
Believe me Adam my brain, had nothing to do with what went on back there.

Adam:
Well sure it did. You found yourself in a highly charged situation. The dopamine and phenylethamine, released in your brain created a euphoria. Simultaneously more epinephrine, triggered an adrenaline release, which stimulated flushed cheeks, heavy breathing, and sweaty palms, and this sudden shift caused a lymbic system takeover allowing reduced integration with your cortex resulting in feelings of infatuation.

Shalimar:
Whatever. I was hot
