Darryl Revok: [strikes back at Cameron with scanner abilities] All right. We're gonna do this the scanner way. I'm gonna suck your brain dry! Everything you are is gonna become me. You're gonna be with me Cameron, no matter what. After all, brothers should be close, don't you think?

Cameron Vale: Then what did you need Keller for? Darryl Revok: ConSec had hardware. It had contacts. Keller could see the future. Cameron Vale: The future? You murdered the future. Darryl Revok: That's negative, Cam. Defeatist. Disappoints me to hear you talk that way. You're starting to sound like them. Darryl Revok: [continues talking while walking through the room. Cameron takes a stone paperweight in his hands from Revok's desk and observes it] There's a whole generation of scanners soldiers just a few months away from being born. We'll find them. Train them to be like us. Not like Obrist and their band of cripples. We'll bring the world of normals to their knees. We'll build an empire so brilliant, so glorious. We'll be the envy of the whole planet. Cameron Vale: You sound just like him. Like Ruth. Darryl Revok: No, not like him. [furiously yelling] Darryl Revok: Like Revok, Darryl Revok! Cameron Vale: No. Like him. It's as though he's been reincarnated in you. Darryl Revok: [sighs] You're not listening to me. Not co-operating, Cam. You're not co-operating with me at all. I've been counting on you for years Cameron. Tell me you're not gonna betray me like al the rest. Tell me you're not. Cameron Vale: [yelling] No! [hits Revok in the face with the paperweight]

Paul Ruth: You are 25 years old, Mr Vale. Why are you such a derelict? Such a piece of human chunk? Paul Ruth: [pause] The answer's simple. You're a scanner, which you don't realize. And that has been the source of all your agony. But I will show you now that it can be a source of great power.

Cameron Vale: [sees that Kim has had a nosebleed] What happened? Kim Obrist: I was scanned. The woman in the waiting room... Cameron Vale: She scanned you? Kim Obrist: No, not her. Her child. Her unborn child scanned me. Cameron Vale: That's what the Ripe program is. The doctors on the computer list are giving ephemerol to their pregnant patients. Kim Obrist: I don't understand. Cameron Vale: Ephemerol. Ephemerol is creating new scanners.
