Quotes 

  • Ruby Daly : Soon there wouldn't be any kids anywhere. The government wasn't afraid of what happened to the ones that didn't make it. They were afraid of us, because the ones that survived changed.

  • Ruby Daly : Where is everybody?

    Cate : Uh, most people fled to the big cities for work.

    Ruby Daly : No kids?

  • Cate : I'm gonna protect you.

    Ruby Daly : How?

    Cate : Have you heard of the Children's League?

    Cate : No.

    Cate : Most people don't realize the camps are total bullshit, because the White House keeps flaunting its reformed children on TV, including the president's son. So we started the League to get you guys out of the camps. Those on the upper end of the scale, the Reds and the Oranges, are considered too dangerous. Ruby, you are very, very rare. Among the most powerful and the least trusted. Those like you are... killed on sight.

    Ruby Daly : What are you going to do?

    Cate : If we ever get separated and you find yourself in danger, I want you to squeeze this pendant for three seconds. It's a tracking device, but only if you activate it. And it only goes to me. Okay? Look, Ruby, you and I both know how dangerous it is out here. At some point, it might be really nice to have someone looking out for you.

  • Ruby Daly : Do you guys even know where you are?

    Liam Stewart : Don't look so scared. Chubs is a map expert.

    Chubs : I'm Green, so all maps make sense to me. So does theoretical physics, existentialism according to Thoreau, speed chess, artificial intelligence.

    Liam Stewart : Yeah. In short, the kid is smart.

    Chubs : What, you think I rock these geeky-ass Coke-bottle glasses for show? Plus, I'm smart enough to know no one gives a crap about Greens.

  • Ruby Daly : [Reading to Zu from the book Watership Down by Richard Adams]  All the world will be your enemy. Prince with a thousand enemies. And whenever they catch you, they will kill you, but first they must catch you. Digger, listener, runner. Prince with a swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed."

  • Chubs : Police band.

    Ruby Daly : Wait. What?

    Chubs : Well, think about it, I mean, police can talk to each other on frequencies only they can listen to. Like UHF, VHF. You know kids under 17 can hear frequencies adults can't. That's why the white noise works on us and not on them. What if E.D.O. isn't a place, but a frequency?

    Ruby Daly : Okay. But frequencies are numbers.

    Chubs : E is 5, D is 4, and O is 15. But... That doesn't work.

    Ruby Daly : Well, O could just mean, like, zero.

    Chubs : Five, four, zero. Five, four, zero. Got it.

  • Chubs : [On finding that Clancy Gray, the president's son, is the Slip Kid]  You gotta be kidding me!

    Ruby Daly : Clancy Gray?

    Chubs : I knew you weren't reformed.

  • Liam Stewart : And then, as fate would have it... on our last day at the beach... I spot you. I mean, I'm in the middle of playing volleyball with my best friend, Chubs, but it's... It's like everyone else disappears. And you're walking towards me... you have these big sunglasses on, earbuds in and music blaring. You're beautiful. And you keep smiling and laughing, and looking out at the water, but... all I want to look at is you.

    Ruby Daly : What happens next?

    Liam Stewart : Well... I tell you that I love you.

    Ruby Daly : Close your eyes. I'm going to finish this story.

    [Kisses him and erases all memories of herself from his mind] 

    Liam Stewart : Who are you?

    Ruby Daly : The League.

  • Ruby Daly : [Closing lines]  "All the world will be your enemy. Prince with a thousand enemies." But we don't have to stay in darkness. You taught me the only ones who could help us... are us. So... I have to let you go... and step into the light. To protect our greatest cause. Our family. For Zu. For Chubs. For you... Liam. I will not falter in the face of our enemies. No matter how strong. I will be brave. I will fight to create a better place for all of us... so that our family... will never be destroyed.
