Les Répliques : Saison 1

1x01

Editor : Dufresne College called. They wanna know if you'd be interested in teaching a one-day intensive on the art of the novel.
Nick : Not so much. Dufresne College---that's in my hometown. I haven't been back there in 10 years. There's some people there that might not be so happy to see me.
Editor : Maybe that's why you're blocked. Go back there. Make peace with it all. You've got to get past your fears, kiddo. G. Gordon Liddy was afraid of rats, so he cooked one up and ate it. Fear gone.
Nick : If you're suggesting that I cook and eat my old friends, I can assure you, in their opinion, I already have.

Hannah : You've been gone how long now?
Nick : Ten years.
Hannah : Right. I think it was two weeks before my 18th birthday that you left. Yes, I'm quite sure because I remember getting those roses, thinking they were for my birthday, but they weren't. They were a goodbye present as in, goodbye I'm no longer in your present.
Nick : I can explain.
Hannah : It's not necessary.
Nick: Hannah---
Hannah : Truly, don't sweat it. I should go. Um... are you, are you staying long?
Nick : Leave Sunday.

Nick : How old is Sam?
Hannah : He turns 10 in two months.
Nick : Ten...
Hannah : Ten...
[Owen says good-bye to Sam and Sam goes to the door]
Hannah : Umm... good-bye Nick. Good Luck.
[turns to leave but turns back around]
Hannah : And don't worry, he's not yours.

Nick : Look, I really am sorry, Eddie. I never thought anyone would get torn up in the process, especially you. I left here that summer with every intention of coming back to the Ridge. Then on the last night of the trip... I'm literally packing my bags and... I remembered something mom told me before she died. She said "You gotta promise me, Nicky... never to settle for anything less than unexpected adventure." And I couldn't kick the feeling that if I came back here, I'd be have giving up on that. It's like once I stayed away... staying away became a way. Any of this make sense ?

[Flashback : Hannah and Nick are in bed together, Eddie enters the room]
Eddie : Ohhhhh... goodbye sex, huh? It's always the best kind.
Hannah : How would you know? You never say goodbye. You're always around.

 

1x02

Aubrey : And thus, the arsonist returns to the scene of his last great blaze.
Nick : Going down in flames does seem to be the motive.

Nick : Game over.
Ronnie : Not true. I think we can do much better. Forget about Hannah and aging documents. Nothing beats a live testimonial. It's like I always said--"If you can't deliver the bacon, bring them the pig !"
Nick : You always say that ?
Ronnie : Well, I will from now on.

_____________________________________________________

Nick : Look, I'm trying to confront this stuff that I ran from years ago. And I'm willing to face anything, anything that comes my way. I will not leave you, Dean Etwood. Or your students either. This time I'm not leaving anything until it's ready to be left.
Dean Leslie Etwood : Well, what an inspirational tale. But right now, Mr. Garrett, I'm going back to sleep.

[The Commander arrives with a cat he just picked up off the street at Knights Ridge Veterinary Care, only to come closer to Sam]
Hannah : This is yours, Mr. Garrett ?
The Commander : Yeah, that's right.
Hannah : How old is this cat ?
The Commander : He's 7.
Hannah : This cat is a female.
The Commander : [smiles] Yeah.
Hannah : And, um, what's her name ?
The Commander : [looks at a picture of a sunrise on the wall] Sunrise.
Hannah : [notices he made up the name] And, um, what's wrong with Sunrise ?
The Commander : I don't know. He's just a little... sluggish.
Hannah : She.
The Commander : She.
Hannah : Well I'll take a look at her.
The Commander : OK that's great well I guess I'll be going now. [leaves the office]
Sam : Mom why did he bring in Bumper ?
Hannah : I don't know [turns to look at a confused coworker] This is our cat.

Dean Leslie Etwood : What makes you think you can actually teach? And please, don't tell me it's because you wrote a popular novel.
Nick : No ! No. But... the journey. Getting there. The journey that those students wish to embark upon. I can share my experience.
Dean Leslie Etwood : Then let's talk about that journey.
Nick : Let's talk about it.
Dean Leslie Etwood : The, ahm, epic struggle of a coward who left his home, wrote a book about the friends and family that he abandoned for reasons unknown and now is afraid to face his own life. A teacher by nature is a leader and a leader is someone who embraces their life. Not one who runs away from it. In all the world Mr. Garrett, my students have nothing to learn from you.
