Push Quotes
Two young Americans with special abilities must race to find a girl in Hong Kong before a shadowy government organization called Division does.
Cassie Holmes: There are special people in this world. We don't ask to be special. We're just born this way. We pass you on the streets every day, unnoticed by most. It started in 1945. The Nazis were conducting experiments in psychic warfare, trying to turn those with psychic abilities into soldiers. Lots of us died. The war ended, but the experiments never stopped. Other governments around the world set up what they called "divisions", trying to do what the Nazis couldn't, to turn us into weapons. The divisions agents are trained to track and hunt us down like animals. Take us away from our families and friends. They test us and categorize us. I'm what they call a Watcher. We can see the future, even if that's not always as simple as it sounds. Others are called Movers; just an easy way of saying telekinetic. Pushers put thoughts in your head, and make whatever lie they come up with the truth. Sniffs, Shifters, Shadows, Bleeders... it goes on and on. In divisions' eyes, we're all just lab rats. Only one problem - we keep dying. No one has ever survived the drug meant to boost our powers. My name is Cassie Holmes. Division took my mom from me. Right now, the future I see doesn't look so great. The good news is, the future is always changing, in the largest of ways, by the smallest of things. They've been winning a lot of battles. Now it's our turn to win the war.
Hook Waters: I know who you are. When I was in Division, your mother was at the top of every watchlist there was.
Cassie Holmes: You worked for division?
Hook Waters: You want to know about division? Ten years. No thank you. No pension. I was put out on the street with the threat not to shift again. Only the Sniffs caught up with me in Chicago. I was just trying to buy something nice for my wife. Next day, I get a call. She's dead. Car accident. But my wife doesn't drive.

Nick Gant: I heard what she said about your mother.
Cassie Holmes: You did? Division's got her. They locked her up because she's the greatest Watcher they've ever seen. They're afraid of her, and they're afraid they can't control it.
Nick Gant: They killed my father for the same reason. But I guess you already knew that.
Cassie Holmes: I see the future, not the past. Right now, our future is not that great.

[first lines]
Young Nick: Dad, what's happening?
Nick's Father: I need you to listen to me, like we're the last two people on the planet, okay Nick? Someday, a girl is going to give you a flower. You got that? A flower. And you have to help her, Nick. You help her, and you help us all. Okay? I know it doesn't make any sense right now, but I believe the woman who told me that. Do you think you can believe me?
[Nick nods]
Nick's Father: I love you. Know how I've said that you were special Nick? Turns out that I was right.

Pop Girl: My father expects me to find that suitcase.
Cassie Holmes: So does my mother.
Pop Girl: But you don't see it clearly, do you? Too many things keep changing. I already saw how you die. Did you see it yet?
[flips through drawings of tigers]
Pop Girl: You can change it, you know. Plenty of planes leaving Hong Kong every day.
Cassie Holmes: Oh, we *are* going to change it.
Pop Girl: You put a Shadow on the girl. You know that's only temporary. That girl is the one who brings all your little fantasy crashing down. So tell Nick something for me, little girl. Tell him my family going to make his brain pop like a tomato! Tell him that's the future I see.
Cassie Holmes: So does my mother.

Kira Hudson: [walks in] Where's the case, Nick?
Nick Gant: Kira?
Henry Carver: [looks at Kira] Go ahead.
Kira Hudson: Remember that night under the roller coaster? We parked under the rain and got those little bottles of Jack. That was the first time you told me you loved me.
Henry Carver: He remembers.
Kira Hudson: I wanna hear it from him
Nick Gant: I remember.
Kira Hudson: Never happened. We met for the first time yesterday. You've never been to Coney Island. Nobody's been to Coney Island. I used you, Nick. Now the quicker we find that case, the quicker I'll let you forget it.
Nick Gant: Kira?
Henry Carver: [looks at Kira] Go ahead.

Nick Gant: Are you okay?
Cassie Holmes: No. Not until we find that case.
Nick Gant: When was the last time you saw it?
Cassie Holmes: Not since yesterday. Not for lack of trying. If we don't find it soon, they're going to kill my mom. And it's going to be my fault.
[after a long pause]
Nick Gant: Look at me. Hey...
[turns Cassie to him]
Nick Gant: Look at me. You really think I'm going to let that happen? Now you said that the future is always changing, right? It can change just by knowing it?
Cassie Holmes: It can change. Doesn't mean it will.
Nick Gant: Good enough.
[Nick grabs guns]
Cassie Holmes: What are you doing? What are you going to go do?
Nick Gant: I'm going to try to make a better one.
Cassie Holmes: No. Not until we find that case.

Nick Gant: I'm going to try to make a better one.
Cassie Holmes: First thing's first. I know you're a second generation Mover.
Nick Gant: Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
Cassie Holmes: I'll let you know when I see one. You don't really use your powers, which means you haven't practiced, so you kind of suck at it. How am I doing so far?
Nick Gant: Go on.
Cassie Holmes: I'm a Watcher. Second generation, like you.
Nick Gant: Wow, that's...
Cassie Holmes: Complicated, cause the future can change just by talking about it, so I see glimpses, and I draw about it in my book, but I'm not really good at it. I'm kind of a crappy artist, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Cassie Holmes: Who sent you?
Teresa Stowe: Your mother. A week before she was captured by Division, she told me to be at that fish market today.
[Maggie lifts Nick's head to see if he's alive]
Cassie Holmes: Stay away from him.
Teresa Stowe: If that's what you want. Just be sure to add his picture to the Wall of the Dead.
