DAKOTA > CHARACTERS QUOTES > TAKEN: EPISODE 9

Allie: "When I was very little, my mother would read nursery rhymes to me. I always hated "Humpty Dumpty." That's a very scary poem. No one knows how to put it back together again-not all the king's horses or all the king's men. No one wants to think that there's anything in the world that could fall apart that badly, but of course...anything can. I guess that's what's so scary about "Humpty Dumpty."

Allie: They wanted to use me to make the ship come down.

Allie: I thought if I could make them think that I'd gone- that I had been taken- they would stop looking for me and everything could just go back to the way it was.

Allie: They're gonna figure it out. And they're gonna come looking for me again.

Allie: I'm scared.

Allie: "I had done what I could. I tried to make the soldiers think that their plan to use me as bait hadn't worked, that I had been taken away. I thought that if I could make them believe that I was gone, then they wouldn't bother me anymore and I could go back to who I used to be. But too much had happened to all us by then for anything to go back to how it was."

Allie: When those people took me- the ones that thought they could trick the spaceship into coming down- Do you remember that woman? You know, the one that I went with at Dr Penzler's? She said that her family and our family had known each other for a long time, that her grandfather knew your grandma. She had this thing that her grandfather had found when the spaceship crashed a long time ago. It was a piece of some sort of metal. It was more than that, though. It was part of them. I could feel in her head that it was important, that she had done a lot of things to get it. She asked me to read it to her.

Allie: But I felt like I understood it. It made me feel like I was with all of them. Does that make sense?

Allie: When I looked at it, I saw things. Things that are going to happen.

Allie: Mummy... I just want to stay here with you.

Allie: "There's a feeling you get sometimes in a bad dream. You're running and something dark and big is chasing you and you want to just stop to let the dark, big thing catch up with you. Something bad is going to happen, you can't change that, but you can turn and see it coming. You can see the face of your bad dream."
