Rules: Vote for your least favorite scene by number.

The scene with the most votes at the end of each round will be eliminated.

~Round 6~

4x04 Subject 9

Scene 1

NINA: So you told me about the Fringe Event, but I think you left something out. It's happening to you, isn't it? (motherly) Now, come on. I haven't seen this much fear in your face since Bobby Hastings asked you to the prom. So what can I do to help you, dear?
OLIVIA: (delighted with her docent) You've done it. Walter thinks he knows how to deal with it. We just need to find the file.

4x07 Wallflower

Scene 4

OLIVIA: (joins her mentor in the Massive Dynamic office inside the compound) I thought you should know that we found Eugene Bryant's body. So it's over.
NINA: Well, thank you. You could have called to tell me.
OLIVIA: All he wanted was to be like... everyone else. But how could he? He'd never be like anyone else. Not after what they did to him.
NINA: So you're thinking about what was done to you.
OLIVIA: You know, even with my colleagues, I'm different. Things that should bother me.... Do you think that it's possible the Cortexiphan Trials stunted my emotions?
NINA: Oh, Olive, you can't let what happened to you as a child define you. And no -- the answer to your question is you are perfectly normal. (stands) At least as normal as any of us is normal. Life is an experiment. You have to find out where you belong, find your own place in this world.
OLIVIA: But shouldn't I know where that is by now?
NINA: Not necessarily. I mean, before you and your sister came to live with me, my life was work. And I didn't think that I could find the time or the room for you girls in my life. Now, I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn't taken that risk. Now, when the time is right, you'll know. (supportive smile and nod)

4x10 Forced Perspective

Scene 5

NINA SHARP: (on the phone) Of course. I'd certainly like to see the results for that. Sooner rather than later. Yeah, well, send them to me directly. (after the call) What a nice surprise. If I'd known you were coming, I would've cancelled my lunch.
OLIVIA: Hi. (hugs) Uh, I'm actually here about Emily Mallum. Her father says that Massive Dynamic has been harassing her and her family.
NINA SHARP: Oh, are you asking me a question, or are you accusing me of something?
OLIVIA: Well, I thought you said that you were done using children as test subjects. (sits)
NINA SHARP: Yes, we are. (sits) Massive Dynamic did approach the Mallum Family when they lived in Baltimore. Emily exhibited some fascinating Precog abilities that would've allowed us to make drastic advances in our study of the human brain. We simply wanted to catalog her abilities. Her father wasn't interested, even when we offered to pay for Emily's schooling.
OLIVIA: I don't know how you could've raised me for so many years, and seen all the damage that was done to me, and pretend that there's nothing wrong with what you just said.
NINA SHARP: Olivia, I am sorry. Now, what happened to you was awful. But this girl is different. No one made her this way.
OLIVIA: I don't see the difference. I mean, it's still abuse. (answers cell phone) Dunham.
EMILY MALLUM: (calling from the park) It's Emily. You said you wanted to help, Agent Dunham. Can you meet me?
OLIVIA: (to Emily) Can you hold on one moment? (to Nina) I'm sorry, I have to go.

Scene 6

NINA SHARP: (after knocking) I hope it's not too late.
OLIVIA: No, I, uh... I just got home. Come in.
NINA SHARP: I wanted to see you. Especially after I spoke with Phillip. He told me what happened to the girl. Are you alright?
OLIVIA: Yeah, I'm fine. Really, I – I – I -- I am okay. (both sit on the couch)
NINA SHARP: Sweetheart, about what you said when you came to see me this afternoon... I never should've reacted the way that I did.
OLIVIA: I'm sorry, I should not have accused you.
NINA SHARP: Please, I - I'm the one that needs to apologize. What happened to you as a child was unconscionable. You've come so far, I just forget sometimes how much you've been expected to forgive.
OLIVIA: I'm not angry with you. I thought I was going to die today. And one of the things that I kept thinking was that you -- you wouldn't know how I felt. You're the closest thing I have to a mother. And I love you.
NINA SHARP: Oh, Olive... (sees her wince) What? What's wrong?
OLIVIA: I've just been getting these migraines, that's all. It's really not that big of a deal.
NINA SHARP: Well, do you have any medicine?
OLIVIA: Yeah, my doctor gave me some.
NINA SHARP: Good. And what about food? Have you eaten?
OLIVIA: No.
NINA SHARP: I'm going to make you some soup. (heads to the kitchen)
OLIVIA: You know, y-- you don't have to do that.
NINA SHARP: I want to. I'm the closest thing you have to a mother. Remember.
OLIVIA: Thank you. That would be great.
NINA SHARP: Tomorrow I'm going to send some medication over. It's a new drug we've been working on. It's remarkable. (gets busy cooking)

4x14 The End of All Things

Scene 9

LELAND SPIVEY: Let's go. (removing the restraints and escorting the senior prisoner out of the room)
MEANA SHARP: Uh, where are you taking me?
DAVID JONES: Please, Ms Sharp. Don't make this harder than it has to be.
OLIVIA: (pleading) Look, David, if it's me you want, you've got me. You win, but you can leave Nina alone, please.
DAVID JONES: Oh, I couldn't possibly do that. (enters the room) Every horse needs a carrot. Every mouse, a piece of cheese. Incentive, Agent Dunham -- all creatures need an incentive to perform tasks. (places a box on the table) Let's give you a little better view, shall we? (opens the view shield to the next room and turns Olivia's chair so she can see Nina Sharp as she is strapped to a mattress frame)
OLIVIA: Oh, my gawd.
DAVID JONES: I'm going to take you through a series of tests. This first one may take some time. (opens a box with a matrix of small lights) I want you –
OLIVIA: I know what you want me to do. You want me to turn the lights off with my mind. We did something like this before. You were trying to activate my ability to cross between universes. And since you seem perfectly capable of doing that yourself, what is this about?
DAVID JONES: Whatever you know, Miss Dunham, whatever you think you know of your abilities, I assure you... your potential is... far greater.
MEANA SHARP: (before she is silenced with a gag) Olivia, listen to me! Don't do what he says, please, whatever happens.

Scene 10

OLIVIA: I am so sorry that you have to go through this.
MEANA SHARP: Oh, it's not your fault. I mean, none of this is your fault. No, listen to me. I know Jones. I know what he's capable of. William fired him because he was unhinged. You cannot give in.
OLIVIA: Yeah, but if I don't, then he's going to keep torturing you, and I can't have that. I won't. Okay. Nina? Nina... You -- you have to help activate me.
MEANA SHARP: Olive, I - I...
OLIVIA: Alright, Cortexiphan is based on emotions. For me, it was always fear-- not fear for myself, but fear for the people that I loved. Now, Jones is -- he's using that, hoping that it will access my abilities. But something's happened.
MEANA SHARP: W – w - what do you mean?
OLIVIA: Well, because of the Cortexiphan... I – I - I can't remember certain aspects of our relationship. I - I can't remember things about us. And without that connection, I – I - I can't do what he wants. It just – it -- it won't work.
MEANA SHARP: Now, I -- now, I - I don't understand. Y - you don't remember our life together?
OLIVIA: No, I – I - I remember, but... I just... I just need for you to help me feel it. Just -- just help me remember the details, what we -- what we meant to each other. mmm. Maybe if you could -- if you could just tell me a story, maybe the first day that Rachel and I came to live with you.
MEANA SHARP: Uh, oh, well, um... Mm, a social worker brought you and your sister up from Jacksonville on the train. I - I met you at Penn Station. You really don't remember?
OLIVIA: I remember the train, I think, but... just -- just keep going.
MEANA SHARP: Well, I brought you girls home... to our old house in the Catskills.
OLIVIA: And I couldn't sleep that night. And so you came into my room. And you sat with me, but I - I can't remember what we talked about.
MEANA SHARP: Okay, I -- you were scared. I mean, after what you'd been through, coming to a new home with a woman that you hardly knew--
OLIVIA: And I kept calling you ‘Ms Sharp’.
MEANA SHARP: Yes, you did. That's true. And I told you that you didn't need to worry, that we were a family now... and that whatever happened, we had each other. And we'd be okay. And I - I kissed you on the forehead. I kissed you good night, and you called me "Nina"... that was the first time you'd ever done that.
OLIVIA: I can only remember pieces... Just fragments. It's like looking at a photo album of somebody else's life. This isn't going to work. I don't want them to keep hurting you, but... the only person that this has ever worked with is Peter.
MEANA SHARP: Peter Bishop?
OLIVIA: The Cortexiphan, my abilities-- it's only ever worked when I've been around him.
MEANA SHARP: Aah!
OLIVIA: Nina?
MEANA SHARP: Oh! (keels over in agony)
OLIVIA: Nina, are you okay?
MEANA SHARP: Oh, oh! I – I – I – I – I don't know. Oh!
OLIVIA: Hey! We need somebody in here now!

4x15 A Short Story About Love

Scene 11

NINA: The whole world is on fire, starting with my office. We've had to completely reevaluate all our security measures after what that woman did. The truth is... I wanted to give you time to collect your thoughts. I know when there's something you want to talk about.
OLIVIA: I'm in love with Peter. I know it sounds absurd to you. I hardly know him. But it's like I've known him my entire life. And everybody, including him, keeps telling me that it's impossible.
NINA: When Walter told me what you were going through -- two sets of memories, two sets of experiences -- he said the Cortexiphan dosing might be enabling you to remember things that Peter wants you to remember.
OLIVIA: But I can remember things that Peter couldn't have known, like details of cases that he wasn't on or names, um, places he's never been. I mean, how can that be if -- if he's controlling it? I don't know how this is happening, but... I'm scared.
NINA: We're gonna figure out what's happening with you, Olive. Now, as for your feelings about Peter, all wounds heal over time.
OLIVIA: Yeah. I just wish the time would move a little quicker.
NINA: Well, that's a coincidence, because we just filed a patent on that last week.
OLIVIA: It's good to be with you. We should do this more often. What's wrong?
NINA: We always have breakfast together on Saturday mornings. We were here last week. Are you saying you don't remember? I'm worried. You're having these experiences at what cost?
OLIVIA: I'll talk to Walter.

Scene 12

NINA: I was wondering when I'd hear from you. I was just making some tea. How are you feeling?
OLIVIA: I'm okay. I talked to Walter.
NINA: What did he say?
OLIVIA: It doesn't matter. I met a woman today. She'd just lost her husband, and as she was talking about him and her marriage, as much as she wanted to be, she -- she wasn't in love. As I was listening to her... I realized what she was saying. She had let go of the possibility of love... of finding love. And I could see myself in her. I didn't like who I was. Now, all of these... memories and feelings that I'm experiencing, they're from a -- a better version of me. I've decided to let things run their course.
NINA: Oh, you had an emotional day, and you don't have to decide anything right now.
OLIVIA: I've made my decision.
NINA: You have so much in your life, Olive. Are you just gonna let that all disappear? And be replaced by what? Memories... of a life that you didn't live?
OLIVIA: Yes.
NINA: Well, how long do we have?
OLIVIA: I don't know. Neither does Walter.
NINA: Hmm. Well, my mother used to say, ‘Encourage the quest for happiness in your children, even if it takes them very far away from you’.
OLIVIA: When the day comes... if I don't remember this... I want you to try and build something with me again. Don't give up on me. I love you, Nina.
NINA: I love you, Olive.

4x16 Nothing Is As It Seems

Scene 13

NINA: I do recognize the number, but we haven't used this file system for years. After William died, we converted to a more user-friendly one.
OLIVIA: Well, maybe it's from a terminated experiment.
NINA: We have many projects dealing with the genetic engineering of hybrids. I'll have to run a search. You weren't supposed to be here. Phillip said you were pulled off field duty.
OLIVIA: I know, but here I am.
NINA: I suppose every version of you is stubborn. Ah, this code does correspond to an old project. But the contents have been erased.

Brave New World Part 1

Scene 14

WALTER: (emphasizing to Nina) He's alive. I'm telling you, he's alive I knew that Jones's plan was too ingenious, too remarkable, that it had to have come from Belly. He's alive, Nina. The 'nanotech' that Jones used on the escalator, I've examined them. They were built by Belly. I -- I'd recognize his work anywhere. His methodology was all ov...
NINA: Jones had access to many projects at Massive Dynamic. He could simply have copied William's research..
WALTER: (adamant) Nina! It was the work of a master, not an imposter! I know the difference.
OLIVIA: Walter said that Bell died in a car accident on New Year's day seven years ago?
NINA: Yes. I went to the hospital. I saw his body. But it wasn't New Year's, it was Christmas.
WALTER: (not processing the discrepancy) I -- I always thought that he died on New Year, because he came to visit me the night before to say goodbye.
OLIVIA: Walter, what are you talking about?
WALTER: When I was in Saint Claire's, Belly came to visit me.
WALTER: It was New Year's Eve, 2005. (angered) They gave me additional shocks that day just to celebrate, so I can't remember what he said. Nina, I know you loved him --
NINA: (frustrated) Oh, Walter, just stop it! The car crash wasn't an accident. William had Lymphoma. He'd been trying to fight it, but... (gets emotional) I think he didn't want me to see him that way anymore. He didn't want to be vulnerable. He wanted to go out on his own terms, and he did.
WALTER: It's still possible --
NINA: (still frustrated) Oh, Walter, anything is possible, but the man I knew wouldn't try to destroy a universe. That doesn't sound like William.
WALTER: (resolved) Fine. I'll prove it to you. If my son is not too busy monitoring my cure, I'd like him to meet us.
OLIVIA: Where? (as they leave)

4x22 Brave New World Part 2

Scene 15

NINA: (to a concerned Olivia) If she knows anything about what happened to Walter, I assure you we will too.
OLIVIA: Well, she took a chance on dying at that office building for whatever her mission is. She was counting on me to save her. They used Jessica to play on my sympathies, and then they used my feelings for Peter, my fear that Jones would kill him.
NINA: William always talked a lot about the powers Cortexiphan children might have.
OLIVIA: But why is he activating me now? Why is he doing this?
NINA: (maternal pride) My Dear... you may have a different set of memories now, But, at heart, you're still the same girl I knew. You've always had incredible compassion. It was your capacity for feeling that made William and Walter so sure that you were the perfect candidate for The Trials. And I don't know what it is, but William must want -- no, he needs something from you. Something only you can provide.

Scene 18

HELICOPTER PILOT: (on headset to his passengers as his three-ship of light utility helicopters arrive on target at ≈500'ASL) These are the coordinates, ma'am, but I've got no visual.
OLIVIA: Okay, well, it's not here. Can you check the uplink? Maybe they're jamming us.
PETER: Are you kidding me? It's right there. (points to left ten o'clock low position)
OLIVIA: I don't see anything.
PETER: Nina?
NINA: (baffled) No, nothing.
PETER: Am I losing my mind here?
HELICOPTER PILOT: Still no visual contact, sir.
NINA: (rationalizing) No, I think I know what's happening. If William is trying to collapse the universes, it stands to reason that the fabric between the universes is growing thin here where his ship is.
OLIVIA: But there's nothing here.
NINA: No, not in this here. The ship has already phased entirely out of sync with our universe. No one here can see it, but Peter...
PETER: ...I’m from the other side, so I resonate at a different frequency.
NINA: Yes, from the other side, the ship is visible. For how much longer, we can't be sure.
PETER: But if it's already crossed over into the other universe, there's no way for us to get to it. Even if we had the time, the bridge is closed.
OLIVIA: There is a way. Me.
NINA: Yes, Olivia now has as much activated Cortexiphan in her system as the Olivia from the original timeline. Now, if what you both have told me is accurate, Olivia can jump between worlds. You, Peter, you can see it. Olivia, you can reach it. But it will have to be done together.
OLIVIA: What if I can't do it?
NINA: You have the most extraordinary gifts, but the only one you were denied was knowing it. You've had the power all along.

DAVID JONES: Oh, I couldn't possibly do that. (enters the room) Every horse needs a carrot. Every mouse, a piece of cheese.

MEANA SHARP: Uh, oh, well, um... Mm, a social worker brought you and your sister up from Jacksonville on the train. I - I met you at Penn Station. You really don't remember?

4x15 A Short Story About Love

NINA: We always have breakfast together on Saturday mornings. We were here last week. Are you saying you don't remember? I'm worried. You're having these experiences at what cost?
OLIVIA: I'll talk to Walter.

Scene 12

NINA: I was wondering when I'd hear from you. I was just making some tea. How are you feeling?
OLIVIA: I'm okay. I talked to Walter.
NINA: What did he say?
OLIVIA: It doesn't matter. I met a woman today. She'd just lost her husband, and as she was talking about him and her marriage, as much as she wanted to be, she -- she wasn't in love. As I was listening to her... I realized what she was saying. She had let go of the possibility of love... of finding love. And I could see myself in her. I didn't like who I was. Now, all of these... memories and feelings that I'm experiencing, they're from a -- a better version of me. I've decided to let things run their course.
NINA: Oh, you had an emotional day, and you don't have to decide anything right now.
OLIVIA: I've made my decision.
NINA: You have so much in your life, Olive. Are you just gonna let that all disappear? And be replaced by what? Memories... of a life that you didn't live?
OLIVIA: Yes.
NINA: Well, how long do we have?
OLIVIA: I don't know. Neither does Walter.
NINA: Hmm. Well, my mother used to say, ‘Encourage the quest for happiness in your children, even if it takes them very far away from you’.
OLIVIA: When the day comes... if I don't remember this... I want you to try and build something with me again. Don't give up on me. I love you, Nina.
NINA: I love you, Olive.

Brave New World Part 1

Scene 14

WALTER: (emphasizing to Nina) He's alive. I'm telling you, he's alive I knew that Jones's plan was too ingenious, too remarkable, that it had to have come from Belly. He's alive, Nina. The 'nanotech' that Jones used on the escalator, I've examined them. They were built by Belly. I -- I'd recognize his work anywhere. His methodology was all ov...
NINA: Jones had access to many projects at Massive Dynamic. He could simply have copied William's research..
WALTER: (adamant) Nina! It was the work of a master, not an imposter! I know the difference.
OLIVIA: Walter said that Bell died in a car accident on New Year's day seven years ago?
NINA: Yes. I went to the hospital. I saw his body. But it wasn't New Year's, it was Christmas.
WALTER: (not processing the discrepancy) I -- I always thought that he died on New Year, because he came to visit me the night before to say goodbye.
OLIVIA: Walter, what are you talking about?
WALTER: When I was in Saint Claire's, Belly came to visit me.
WALTER: It was New Year's Eve, 2005. (angered) They gave me additional shocks that day just to celebrate, so I can't remember what he said. Nina, I know you loved him --
NINA: (frustrated) Oh, Walter, just stop it! The car crash wasn't an accident. William had Lymphoma. He'd been trying to fight it, but... (gets emotional) I think he didn't want me to see him that way anymore. He didn't want to be vulnerable. He wanted to go out on his own terms, and he did.
WALTER: It's still possible --
NINA: (still frustrated) Oh, Walter, anything is possible, but the man I knew wouldn't try to destroy a universe. That doesn't sound like William.
WALTER: (resolved) Fine. I'll prove it to you. If my son is not too busy monitoring my cure, I'd like him to meet us.
OLIVIA: Where? (as they leave)

4x22 Brave New World Part 2

Scene 15

NINA: (to a concerned Olivia) If she knows anything about what happened to Walter, I assure you we will too.
OLIVIA: Well, she took a chance on dying at that office building for whatever her mission is. She was counting on me to save her. They used Jessica to play on my sympathies, and then they used my feelings for Peter, my fear that Jones would kill him.
NINA: William always talked a lot about the powers Cortexiphan children might have.
OLIVIA: But why is he activating me now? Why is he doing this?
NINA: (maternal pride) My Dear... you may have a different set of memories now, But, at heart, you're still the same girl I knew. You've always had incredible compassion. It was your capacity for feeling that made William and Walter so sure that you were the perfect candidate for The Trials. And I don't know what it is, but William must want -- no, he needs something from you. Something only you can provide.

Scene 18

HELICOPTER PILOT: (on headset to his passengers as his three-ship of light utility helicopters arrive on target at ≈500'ASL) These are the coordinates, ma'am, but I've got no visual.
OLIVIA: Okay, well, it's not here. Can you check the uplink? Maybe they're jamming us.
PETER: Are you kidding me? It's right there. (points to left ten o'clock low position)
OLIVIA: I don't see anything.
PETER: Nina?
NINA: (baffled) No, nothing.
PETER: Am I losing my mind here?
HELICOPTER PILOT: Still no visual contact, sir.
NINA: (rationalizing) No, I think I know what's happening. If William is trying to collapse the universes, it stands to reason that the fabric between the universes is growing thin here where his ship is.
OLIVIA: But there's nothing here.
NINA: No, not in this here. The ship has already phased entirely out of sync with our universe. No one here can see it, but Peter...
PETER: ...I’m from the other side, so I resonate at a different frequency.
NINA: Yes, from the other side, the ship is visible. For how much longer, we can't be sure.
PETER: But if it's already crossed over into the other universe, there's no way for us to get to it. Even if we had the time, the bridge is closed.
OLIVIA: There is a way. Me.
NINA: Yes, Olivia now has as much activated Cortexiphan in her system as the Olivia from the original timeline. Now, if what you both have told me is accurate, Olivia can jump between worlds. You, Peter, you can see it. Olivia, you can reach it. But it will have to be done together.
OLIVIA: What if I can't do it?
NINA: You have the most extraordinary gifts, but the only one you were denied was knowing it. You've had the power all along.
