• Ellie Williams : So you leave me. I think you're dead. All of a sudden, you're alive. And you give me this night... this amazing fucking night. And now you're leaving again. Forever. To join some cause I don't even think you understand. Tell me I'm wrong.

  Riley Abel : I think... that you don't know everything. You don't know what it was like to have a family. To belong. I mean, I didn't have them for long, but I had them. I belonged to them. And I want that again. Maybe the Fireflies aren't what I think they are, but they chose me. I matter to them.

  Riley Abel : You know, you're the one thing I missed from that fucking place... if that makes a difference.

  [Ellie smiles]
