Aaron Yoo: Russell Kwon

Quotes 

• Stephen Jameson : If I'm not human, what the hell am I?

  Russell Kwon : You, my friend, are a Homo Superior.

  Cara Coburn : We didn't pick that name either.

• John Young : Teleporting in your sleep is just the beginning.

  Russell Kwon : It's kind of like a paranormal wet dream.

  John Young : By the time we're done with your training...

  John Young : [jaunts to behind Stephen]  Ultra won't be able to lay a hand on you.

  Russell Kwon : [sotto voce]  Show off.

• Stephen Jameson : Uh, how many of you are there?

  John Young : Here? You're number 15. Out there? Could be hundreds, thousands.

  Cara Coburn : It's a genetic mutation that lies dormant through adolescence. Sometimes it never breaks out.

  John Young : Until then, people like you think they're regular saps.

  Cara Coburn : Homo sapiens.

  Stephen Jameson : As in... human. Uh, if I'm not human, then what the hell am I?

  Russell Kwon : You, my friend, are a Homo superior.

  Cara Coburn : We didn't pick that name either.

• Russell Kwon : Those were some serious next-level skills you broke out. And here we thought there were just three T's. How'd you do it, man? And, more importantly, what are we calling it?

  Stephen Jameson : No idea. It just happened.

• Cara Coburn : [breaking into Ultra]  I was wondering when you were gonna show up.

  John Young : No, you weren't.

  Russell Kwon : [catching his breath]  Don't worry about me, guys. I'm good.

• John Young : [after Stephen is abducted by Ultra]  There is nothing we can do for him now. We lost him, Cara.

  Cara Coburn : No, I lost him. We never should have let him leave. But I can get him back.

  John Young : That's not how it works. Going after him, it was a bad idea from the start. You know the rules. We don't expose ourselves to Ultra, not for anyone.

  Cara Coburn : He is not just anyone.

  John Young : What is it with him? Maybe you spent a little bit too much time in his head. Let yourself get a little bit too close.

  Cara Coburn : You said it yourself. Stephen's the key to finding his father, which means he's our best shot for survival.

  Russell Kwon : [eavesdropping in the doorway]  She's right. I know you dig the whole leader of the rag-tag rebels thing, but living down here, like a bunch of rats, it gets real old, real fast.

• Tim The Bio computer : I found the car. Would you like to know where he is?

  John Young : No.

  Cara Coburn : Yes.

  Russell Kwon : Yes.

  John Young : If you two wanna march straight into Jedikiah's compound, go ahead. But I have spent half my life dodging that sadistic son of a bitch. I am not getting caught by him again.

• Cara Coburn : We believe that you and your father might share a connection like you and I do.

  Stephen Jameson : I haven't even seen the man since I was eight years old.

  John Young : You're his son. If anyone can contact him, it's gonna be you.

  Stephen Jameson : What if I don't wanna find him? He bailed on us, okay? The same way he bailed on you. He left my mom with two little kids and a stack of bills from some psych hospital.

  Cara Coburn : Stephen, he left so that you could have a life. So you'd be safe from Ultra, so that you could grow up human.

  John Young : If it weren't for him, you'd be in a cage right now, getting your brain picked apart like a lab rat.

  Stephen Jameson : I don't believe you.

  John Young : [leading him into another room]  Maybe you'll believe this. Pull up his last message, Tim.

  Stephen Jameson : Who are you talking to? Who the hell is Tim?

  Tim The Bio computer : I am a computer.

  Russell Kwon : A.I. program. He's kind of like our HAL. Just... not evil.
