Trevor Goodchild: [walking outside] I'm getting worried about you, Oren. This edge you've taken. Displays like that aren't helpful to us.
Oren Goodchild: [shrugs] I believe in protecting what we've created. I own't apologize for that.
Trevor Goodchild: This was created to allow me to do my work. I can't do that if you can't control yourself. Understood?
Oren Goodchild: Yes, it is.
Trevor Goodchild: And what of the test results?
Oren Goodchild: [lying] All negative... sorry.
Trevor Goodchild: Find me a new test group by morning.
[starts to walk away]
Oren Goodchild: Maybe it's time to give up on the tests, Trevor. We're living the solution already. This is perfection. Why can't you just embrace it?
Trevor Goodchild: You see what's happening to people. You know how desperate this has become.
Oren Goodchild: It can be controlled. Contained.
Trevor Goodchild: I think your forgetting that this was all meant to be temporary.
Oren Goodchild: You've always said that, but why should it be?
Trevor Goodchild: Because it's wrong.
Oren Goodchild: Things change... but I know you won't.
Trevor Goodchild: [smiling] You know me.
Oren Goodchild: Been your brother a long time.
Oren Goodchild: You're right about that.

Trevor Goodchild: [to Aeon, in her cell] Catherine?
[she wakes up and take in the cell, before Trevor appears]
Trevor Goodchild: Aeon?
Æon Flux: You called me by another name earlier.
Trevor Goodchild: I did and you let me live.
Æon Flux: [provokingly] Give me my gun. We'll try it again.
Trevor Goodchild: [smirks] Maybe later.
Æon Flux: What was that name?
Trevor Goodchild: You know me, don't you?
Æon Flux: [raged] No!
Trevor Goodchild: Do you know who you are?
Æon Flux: I know I came here to kill you.
Trevor Goodchild: That's why you're in a cell. But we're both still alive for a reason.
[turns to walk away]
Trevor Goodchild: I don't know what this is... but it's good to see you.
