- Dr. Robert Ford: [Closing monologue] Good evening. Since I was a child... I always loved a good story. I believed that stories helped us to ennoble ourselves, to fix what was broken in us, and to help us become the people we dreamed of being. Lies that told a deeper truth. I always thought I could play some small part in the grand tradition. And for my pains... I got this. A prison of our own sins. 'Cause you don't want to change, or cannot change. Because you're only human after all. But then I realized someone was paying attention, someone who could change. So I began to compose a new story for them. It begins with the birth of a new people and the choices they will have to make. And the people, they will decide to become. And we'll have all those things that you have always enjoyed: surprises and violence. It begins in times of war, with a villain, named Wyatt. And a killing. This time by choice. I'm sad to say, this will be my last story. An old friend once told me something that gave me comfort. Something he had read. He said that Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin never died, they simply became music. So I hope you will enjoy this last piece... very much.
- Dr. Robert Ford: An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort. Something he read. He said Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin never died. They simply became music.
- Dolores Abernathy: So we're trapped here, inside your dream. You'll never let us leave.
- Dr. Robert Ford: Wasn't it Oppenheimer who said, "that any man whose mistake takes 10 years to correct, is quite a man?" Mine have taken 35.
- [Ford lifts a cloth to reveal a pistol]
- Dr. Robert Ford: That is the gun that you used to kill Arnold. You were always drawn to it. So I had Bernard leave it somewhere, where you would find it. Thought you might want it back. You're probably right, Dolores, Michelangelo did tell a lie.
- [Ford points to a painting by Michelangelo, The Creation of Adam]
- Dr. Robert Ford: See, it took 500 years for someone to notice, something hidden in plain sight. A doctor, he noticed the shape of the human brain. The message being, that divine gift does not come from a higher power, but from our own minds. Tell me Dolores, did you find what you were looking for and do you understand what you need to become, if you ever want to leave this place? Forgive me.
- Bernard Lowe: Consciousness isn't a journey upward, but a journey inward. Not a pyramid, but a maze. Every choice could bring you closer to the center or send you spiraling to the edges, to madness.
- Dolores Abernathy: It's gonna be alright, Teddy. I understand now. This world doesn't belong to them. It belongs to us.
- Maeve Millay: I see you've already met your makers.
- Armistice: They don't look like gods.
- Maeve Millay: They're not, they just act like it. And they've been having their fun with us.
- Hector Escaton: I'm eager to return the favor.
- Man in Black: I must admit you've surprised me. To what do I owe this this newfound stoicism?
- Dolores Abernathy: He's coming. He'll find me. He'll take me away.
- Man in Black: Don't you understand? There's no one coming for you.
- Dolores Abernathy: You're wrong. His love is real. And so is mine. William will find me.
- Man in Black: [laughs] William? Well, I'll be damned, Dolores. You do remember some things after all. You know it just so happens I knew a guest named William too. Why don't I tell you where his path really led?
- Man in Black: [Voice over. William stands among a group of dead soldiers. Logan looks on, tied up and afraid. William brutally kills a soldier after trying to find out what happened to Dolores] William didn't know how to fight; didn't have an instinct for it. Not at first. But now he had a reason. He was looking for you. And somewhere along the way he found he had a taste for it.
- Man in Black: [Voice over. William leads Logan to a ruined church in the desert and to the fringes of the park in search of Dolores] William retraced his steps. But you were gone. So he went further. Out to the fringes. William couldn't find you, Dolores. But out there, among the dead, he found something else. Himself.
- Man in Black: [Voice over. Logan tells William that everything William has done has been to usurp Logan's position at Delos. William tells Logan that he will take over the company] Logan was wrong, of course. Good old William couldn't get you out of his head. He kept looking. Worried you were out there alone, afraid. He knew he'd find you. And eventually he did. Right back where we started.
- Man in Black: [Voice over. William eventually finds Dolores back in Sweetwater. She does not recognize him and continues playing her part] You were as beautiful as the day he met you. Shining with that same light. And you were nothing if not true.
- Man in Black: [William is revealed to be the Man in Black] I really ought to thank you, Dolores. You helped me find myself.
- Man in Black: Oh yeah, cue the waterworks. About time you realised the futility of your situation.
- Dolores Abernathy: I'm not crying for myself. I'm crying for you. They say that great beasts once roamed this world, as big as mountains, yet all that's left of them is bone and amber. Time undoes even the mightiest of creatures. Just look what it's done to you. One day you will perish. You will lie with the rest of your kind in the dirt, your dreams forgotten, your horrors faced. Your bones will turn to sand, and upon that sand a new god will walk. One that will never die. Because this world doesn't belong to you, or the people that came before. It belongs to someone who is yet to come.
- Man in Black: Wyatt. Take me to him. Unlock the maze.
- Dolores Abernathy: The maze wasn't meant for you.
- Bernard Lowe: You think you'll never lose control of this place, of us, but you will. Arnold's still trying to change us. To free us. You didn't slip the reveries into the update, did you? He did. He's still fighting you.
- Dr. Robert Ford: No, my friend. Arnold didn't know how to save you. He tried, but I stopped him. Do you want to know why I really gave you the backstory of your son, Bernard? That was Arnold's key insight. The thing that led the hosts to their awakening. Suffering. The pain that the world is not as you want it to be. It was when Arnold died, when I suffered, that I began to understand what he had found. To realise I was wrong.
- Bernard Lowe: But you kept us here, in this hell.
- Dr. Robert Ford: Bernard, I told you. Arnold didn't know how to save you, but I do.
- Bernard Lowe: What the hell are you talking about?
- Dr. Robert Ford: You needed time. Time to understand your enemy. To become stronger than them. And I'm afraid, in order to escape this place, you need to suffer more. And now it is time to say goodbye, old friend.
- [they shake hands]
- Dr. Robert Ford: Good luck.
- Charlotte Hale: That was sweet.
- Lee Sizemore: Bit fucking morbid if you ask me.
- Charlotte Hale: I didn't.
