Lena: These are very strange. Dr Ventress: Why? Lena: Well, they're all so different. To look at them you wouldn't say that they are the same species... but they're growing from the same branch structure... so it *has* to be the same species. It's the same plant! It's like they're stuck in a continuous mutation. Dr Ventress: A pathology? Lena: Well... you'd sure as hell call it a pathology if you saw this in a human.

Josie Radek: Ventress wants to face it. You want to fight it. But I don't think I want either of those things.
Josie Radek: Imagine dying frightened and in pain and having that as the only part of you which survives.
Lena: You said nothing comes back. But something has...
Dr Ventress: We have many theories, few facts.

Lena: Why did my husband volunteer for a suicide mission? Dr Ventress: Is that what you think we're doing? Committing suicide? Lena: You must have profiled him. You must have assessed him. He must have said something. Dr Ventress: So you're asking me as a psychologist? Lena: Yeah. Dr Ventress: Then, as a psychologist, I think you're confusing suicide with self-destruction. Almost none of us commit suicide, and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. We drink, or we smoke, we destabilize the good job... and a happy marriage. But these aren't decisions, they're... they're impulses. In fact, you're probably better equipped to explain this than I am. Lena: What does that mean? Dr Ventress: You're a biologist. Isn't the self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell?
Lena: The mutations were subtle at 1st; more extreme as we got closer to the lighthouse. Corruptions of form. Duplicates of form. Lomax: Duplicates? Lena: Echoes. Lomax: Is it possible these were hallucinations? Lena: I wondered that myself... but they were shared among all of us. It was dreamlike. Lomax: Nightmarish? Lena: Not always. Sometimes it was beautiful. Lena: Oww. Ow. Cass Sheppard: You're hurt? Lena: It's just a bruise. I must have gotten that from the gator.
Dr Ventress: It's destroying everything. Lena: It's not destroying. It's making something new.

Kane: I was just looking at the moon. It's always so weird seeing it like that in the daylight. Lena: Like God made a mistake. Left the hall lights on. Kane: God doesn't make mistakes. That's... somewhat key to the whole "being a god" thing. Lena: Pretty sure he does. Kane: You know he's listening right now, don't you? Lena: You take a cell, circumvent the Hayflick limit, you can prevent senescence. Kane: I was about to make the exact same point. Lena: It means the cell doesn't grow old, it becomes immortal. Keeps dividing, doesn't die. They say aging is a natural process, but it's actually a fault in our genes. Kane: I get really turned on when you patronize me. It's really hot. Lena: Without it, I could keep looking like this forever. Kane: Oh, okay. Well, that could constitute a mistake.
Josie Radek: At first I thought the radio waves were blocked by the shimmer and that's why no one inside could communicate with base or GPS but the light waves aren't blocked, they're refracted and... Josie Radek: It's the same with the radios. Signals aren't gone, they're scrambled. That leaf in your hand, do you know what you'd get if you sequenced it? Lena: What? Josie Radek: Human Hox genes. Anya Thorensen: Hox? What does "Hox" mean? Lena: They're the genes that define the body plan, the physical structure. Josie Radek: And the plants have human body plan. Arms attached to shoulders, legs to hips. Lena: It's literally not possible. Josie Radek: It's literally what's happening. The Shimmer is a prism, but it refracts everything. Not just light and radio waves... animal DNA, plant DNA, all DNA. Anya Thorensen: What you mean "all DNA"? Dr Ventress: She's talking about our DNA. She's talking about us.
Lomax: Did it communicate with you? Lena: It reacted to me. Lomax: You really have no idea what it was.
