Conflicting Perspectives on the Mission's Purpose
Meredith Vickers
I think there might be some confusion about our relationship. Weyland found you impressive enough to fund this mission, but I'm fairly certain your Engineers are nothing but scribblings of savages living in dirty little caves. But let's say I'm wrong, and you do find these "beings" down there: you won't engage them, you won't talk to them, you will do nothing but report back to me.
Charlie Holloway
Ummm, Miss Vickers, is there an agenda that you're not telling us about?

Trust Issues and Deception in Relationships
Lorraine Broughton
I've read your file. I've also read your dog file. So let's cut the crap, shall we? This whole hungover, show-up-late, don't-know-which-way-is-up act, I'm not buying it. I trust you about as far as I can throw you.

Confronting Uncertainty and Desire for Connection
Homer Wells
Just tell me. I'll do whatever you wanna do.
Candy Kendall
Nothing.
Homer Wells
Isn't that like waiting and seeing?
Candy Kendall
No. Nothing's nothing. I want Wally to come home. I'm afraid to see him too.
Homer Wells
I know.
Candy Kendall
Oh, don't do that, Homer.
Candy Kendall
I just want to sit here and do nothing.
Homer Wells
To do nothing. It's a great idea, really. Maybe if I just wait and see long enough, then I won't have to do anything or decide anything, you know? I mean, maybe if I'm lucky enough, someone else will decide and choose and do things for me.
Candy Kendall
What are you talking about?
Homer Wells
But then again, maybe I won't be that lucky. And it's not my fault. It's not your fault. And that's just it. Someone's gonna get hurt, and it's no one's fault.
Candy Kendall
I don't want to talk about this.
Homer Wells
If we just sit here and, we wait and see a little longer, then maybe you won't to choose, and I won't have to do anything!
Candy Kendall
What do you want from me? Wally's been shot down. He's paralyzed. What do you want me to do?
Homer Wells
Nothing. I'm sorry. You're not the one who has to do anything.

A Dilemma of Choices and Consequences
Cipher
Have you heard of choice theory, Dom? There are a lot of axioms, but only two you really need to concern yourself with. One: the only person's behavior we can control is our own. And two: the only true thing we can give another person is information. So let me give you some. You see these cameras in here? The moment you make a move, highly paid men with weapons will make their way into this room with one very specific instruction: it's not to save me, it's to kill your son. Now that's a lot of bullets. And it only takes one for you to lose everything, so I have to ask you because, I know family is so important to you. Is that really a choice you want to make? Because I'm ready if you are.
Dom
If I pull this trigger, and God knows I want to, if I killed everyone on this plane, I still couldn't get in there, cause of your two-man fail safe system. Since I'm ALONE! I GOT NO CHOICE!
Cipher
I didn't think so.

The Illusion of a Perfect Society
Æon Flux
Some called Bregna the perfect society. Some call it the height of human civilization. But others know better. The Goodchilds built Bregna to ensure us a future. They built the Relico, a memorial to remind us of what we've survived. They built walls to protect us. They tell us that outside, nature has retaken the world. But the real problems lie within. We are haunted by sorrows we cannot name. People disappear and our government denies these crimes. The Goodchild regime provides for us, as long as we stay quiet. So we trade freedom for a gilded cage. But there are rebels whoe refuse to make that trade, who fight to overthrow a government that silences us, who fight in the name of the disappeared. They call themselves the Monicans. I am one of them.

I lost you during the disease and you couldn't be brought back. I've lived and died seven times since then, and each time I taught myself about you. You were an idea I kept alive, something I had to imagine. But when I saw you, what I felt was real, and I knew you, I remembered you. What we had together has survived all that time…

The Ethics of Cloning and Rebirth
Trevor Goodchild
There was a complication when we cured the industrial disease. The vaccine had an unintended side effect: sterility. Only one more generation of our species could survive. It was a desperate time. Cloning had never been used on humans, successfully. Now when a person dies, their DNA is recycled. Oren and I built the Relico to store DNA and to conceal the cloning process. The Keeper finds a suitable couple and using food additives, we induce a chemical pregnancy. When a woman comes in for an exam, we implant a cloned embryo. From there things happen naturally. In nine months, a citizen who died is reborn. For seven generations, Oren and I have cloned ourselves, taught ourselves, so that I could keep trying to find a cure…while we all live on.
Æon Flux
That's what we are? Copies?
Trevor Goodchild
We're more than that! It wasn't supposed to be permanent—I've been trying to cure the infertility. Una was part of my test groups. Oren lied to me—he told me her test had failed, like the others. But she had become pregnant. He killed all my subjects, your sister included.
Æon Flux
He killed her because he was pregnant…
Trevor Goodchild
Una didn't know it, but her baby would have been one of the first new children in 400 years. Oren's changed–he doesn't want to go back, he doesn't want a cure…
Æon Flux
He wants to live forever.
