Tommie-Amber Pirie: Margo Elson

Quotes 

• Margo Elson : When I first heard it, I don't know, but the elders say, "Every decision you make today affects the next seven generations." Today just isn't today, tomorrow can be today.

• Margo Elson : Okay, I guess some doors aren't meant to be opened.

• Thomas Elliot : What were you working on here?

  Margo Elson : It's called "Red Eye". It reads the genetic data of retinal vein blood cells to recruit memories.

  Thomas Elliot : To be blunt, I pretend to understand what you just said, but I... I don't.

• Thomas Elliot : The police find this and it's way too easy to dismiss this as just another drug case.

  Margo Elson : Wait a second, I thought you were the police.

  Margo Elson : Oh yeah, you're telling me.

• Margo Elson : Law enforcement and experimental science have a ton in common just in case you wondered.

  Margo Elson : How so?

  Margo Elson : In being a relentless snoop, goes with stubbornness.

  Thomas Elliot : I did notice that about you. It's okay, I forgive you.

  Margo Elson : Shut up.

• Margo Elson : So, why do you drive this old beater anyway?

• Margo Elson : What do I need to do?

  Conrad Stallman : [completes the quote]  ... is all we have behind us. Yeah, I've heard that, too.

• Margo Elson : Teach me how to be a detective. What am I looking for?

  Thomas Elliot : Okay. Um, sometimes what we don't see is more important than what we do see. Every crime scene has its own memory. Little signs left behind, traces of what happened. And our jobs as detectives is to pick up all of the broken little pieces and put them back together again.

• Margo Elson : What we do affects seven generations, that's what she said.

• Thomas Elliot : Where can I find you, Ma?

  Margo Elson : Some detective.

• Thomas Elliot : What do you see?

  Margo Elson : The end of a long dream.
