Runaways[]
Episode 1.01: Reunion[]
Spoken by Karolina Deaan[]
Dialogue[]
- "I didn't mean to stare. It's just that you know that you don't need all that, Nico. You don't have to hide who you really are."
"Some people hide behind makeup, others behind a smile. It's still hiding." - ―Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru[src]
- "It was so weird. The last thing I remember were these lights. They were really beautiful."
"Yeah, it's called drugs. Clearly, you took some strong shit." - ―Karolina Dean and Chase Stein[src]
Episode 1.03: Destiny[]
Dialogue[]
- "It was so great seeing all you kids together again last night. Must've been so fun to catch up, huh? Karolina?"

"Well, I hope you'll all stay in touch."
"We'll see." - ―Leslie Dean and Karolina Dean[src]
Episode 1.04: Fifteen[]
Dialogue[]
- "This is all your fault."
"What is?"
"Well, if you didn't get wasted and hook up with Brandon and Lucas at that party, then Chase wouldn't have gone ham on their asses, and our state lacrosse title wouldn't be in jeopardy."
"No, that... that... that never happened."
"Yeah, it did, but you wouldn't remember that, because you're a lightweight drunk and a lacrosse-ruining slut." - ―Eiffel and Karolina Dean[src]
- "You know, I'm really digging this Gibb thing. I mean, I'm not super down with the amount of white jeans involved, but there's a lot about this that's really beautiful."
"Thank you. I know how it looks to the outside world, but the more others doubt it, the more it's always just reinforced my beliefs."
"Well, I apologize for ever referring to it as a quasi-sci-fi crackpot pseudo cult. You know, the other kids think we're crazy for believing in our parents."
"That's called faith." - ―Gert Yorkes and Karolina Dean[src]
- "How do you do that?"
"I don't know how! I don't even know what..."
"What does it feel like?"
"Good. Warm." - ―Chase Stein and Karolina Dean[src]

- ―Gert Yorkes[src]
Dialogue[]
- "What if it was my Church? What if they figured out that we got those files on all those kids?"
"Hey, I'm..."
"No, no, please don't tell me that everything is gonna be okay. My mom is a murderer. All of our parents are murderers!" - ―Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru[src]
Episode 1.06: Metamorphosis[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
- "Everything my whole life has been for my mom and the church. Then I learned that what I thought was the ultimate good is somehow a part of the worst thing imaginable. And what if what I do is connected to that? What does that make me?"
- ―Karolina Dean[src]
- "Gert was right, I was the perfect church girl. I never did anything disobedient or different or what I wanted. But now that I know I'm, like, a total freak, maybe I'm free to be who I really am. And to be honest about who I want to be with."
- ―Karolina Dean to Nico Minoru[src]
Dialogue[]
- "I was just wondering, are you kind of into Nico? Just when I walked into the room, I kind of sensed a vibe. By the way, I would totally support it."
"Yeah. So you could be with Chase?"
"Excuse me, what? No, I don't like Chase. That's crazy."
"Could've fooled me. Hey, Chase. I'm thirsty. Should we go get a drink?"
"Yeah, I'll get in line."
"Thanks."
"Fine. Enjoy. But just know you're not being honest about who you really like."
"Well, neither are you." - ―Gert Yorkes, Karolina Dean and Chase Stein[src]
- "You know, maybe we should march in there and I could light up and I can show the world what I actually am."
"That's not exactly what I had in mind, but sure, if it gets you off the ledge..."
"Maybe it's time to be reckless and to make some bad decisions." - ―Karolina Dean and Chase Stein[src]

Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
Episode 1.08: Tsunami[]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]

- "That's PRIDE that's down there, which you told me you weren't a part of! Dad, you were the only one that is good, Dad, please!"
"Honey, what are you talking about?"

"No. But it's what I was afraid of." - ―Geoffrey Wilder and Leslie Dean[src]
Dialogue[]
- "What about my secret weapon?"
"Um, she stays in the car. For now."
"Crack the windows, though. This is LA. If anybody sees an animal in the car, they'll call the cops, even if it is a dinosaur." - ―Gert Yorkes, Alex Wilder and Karolina Dean[src]
- "We know you have a lot of questions."
"You mean like how could you murder fifteen kids?" - ―Leslie Dean and Karolina Dean[src]
Episode 1.10: Hostile[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "We all thought we were equals in this."
"Turns out there's an inner circle. Jonah, Leslie, and now Karolina." - ―Geoffrey Wilder and Catherine Wilder[src]
- "And when we wake up? What happens then?"
"We save Karolina."
"We get out of town."
"Wait, you'd seriously leave without her?"
"Look, Nico. We don't know where she is or how she is."
"Or if she still even is."
"Look, I'm sorry but we have to do what's best for the group."
"No, I say we have to think about each other."
"If it was me in her place, I'd want you guys to go."
"Well, if it was you in her place, we would. But it's not. Remember, it's Karolina, O.K.? She did everything she could to protect us."
"It's true. Last night, Karolina could have saved herself. But she didn't." - ―Gert Yorkes, Nico Minoru, Alex Wilder, Chase Stein and Molly Hernandez[src]
- "How could you go to him, betray us like that?"
"Betray? I think you're the expert in that field. Mind-wiping me... Don't deny it, Leslie. And then having a child with I don't even know what he is."
"But you do. He's the One."
"Yeah, well, I am her father, not him. I raised her. She loves me, and he loves whatever the hell's in that hole. He was willing to hurt her to protect it." - ―Leslie Dean and Frank Dean[src]
- "Frank has done a wonderful job raising you. I will always be grateful to him, but I think you know the truth. I'm your father. You're a smart girl, Karolina, always hungry for answers. I think last night you got them. I realize how difficult it must be, discovering the truth about yourself with no one to guide you, no one who truly understands. Unfortunately, the truth can make you very lonely. But now now for the first time in such a long time I don't feel quite so alone. Maybe I could give you that gift."
- ―Jonah to Karolina Dean[src]
Episode 2.07: Last Rites[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
- "You made a decision that took everything away from me."
- ―Karolina Dean to Nico Minoru[src]
- "You didn't have to kill my father, Nico. You chose to."
- ―Karolina Dean to Nico Minoru[src]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "You betrayed us. All of us."
"Sneaking out? Lying about where you were going? With one of them."
"Yeah, but Karolina's the only reason why we got out alive last night. Leaving her here probably isn't the best plan."
"That's a risk I'm willing to take." - ―Nico Minoru, Molly Hernandez and Chase Stein[src]
- "I'm the only one who has a chance. You taught me this."
- ―Nico Minoru to Karolina Dean[src]
Dialogue[]
- "He let us escape from the church that day, and he showed me things that are wonderful. And now he just wants to leave. That's all he's ever wanted."
"Wait. He's leaving? How can you be so sure he plans on not taking you with him?"
"He hasn't asked me to go, so..."
"Just think about it. Is there a possibility that he takes you onto that ship and then leaves the rest of us behind to die?"
"He wouldn't do that."
"I'm gonna go with "I'm pretty sure he would.""
"I would know. We're connected in this weird way on a deeper level." - ―Karolina Dean, Nico Minoru, Chase Stein and Molly Hernandez[src]
- "I need your help. Nobody trusts me, but they'll listen to you."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Because no one I know is more passionate about helping those who can't help themselves."
"I have always had a soft spot for the disenfranchised. I'm listening." - ―Karolina Dean and Gert Yorkes[src]
- "There's a moral imperative here now. There are lives at the bottom of that hole."
"Who could be more versions of Jonah. Why would we help them?"
"Could be more versions of her."
"If you bury them, you bury me." - ―Gert Yorkes, Alex Wilder and Karolina Dean[src]
- "At least Karolina kicks ass at flying."
"I wouldn't say flying, exactly. More like falling with style."
"Buzz Lightyear! I love Buzz." - ―Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean and Molly Hernandez[src]
Episode 2.08: Past Life[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
- "I don't care what mission-y crap goes on today. I'm out."
- ―Karolina Dean[src]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "We've been worried sick. There were rumors. Terrible rumors. Talk that you, you know, lost the light. And there was that whole thing about murder and kidnapping. But I know that wasn't true."
- ―Vaughn Kaye to Karolina Dean[src]
- "when you were born, my dear, I felt a connection far deeper than anything I had ever experienced. I could not bear to lose it. The sacrifices that you discovered were done so that I could stay in this form, stay as your father. To struggle with another host, risk losing you forever... I couldn't do it. Maybe you can't forgive this, but Karolina, you have a destiny that is bigger than all of us. In inhabiting this human body, I have learned to love none more than you. Carry this with you as you prepare for what's next."
- ―Magistrate[src]
Episode 2.09: Big Shot[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
- "Alex, I know what happened with Darius was awful, but getting mixed up with these guys is not gonna fix it."
- ―Karolina Dean to Alex Wilder[src]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "Somebody call Karolina. We're gonna need all hands on deck."
- ―Alex Wilder[src]
Dialogue[]
- "Alex's "small fish eats big fish" plan."
"AWOL is your idea of a small fish?"
"Small fish can be deadly. There's the puffer fish, which is small but very dangerous."
"Don't forget about stingrays. They're vicious."
"Is every girl a frickin' marine biologist?" - ―Livvie, Karolina Dean, Gert Yorkes and Alex Wilder[src]
- "Were you trying to call for me?"
"No. I wasn't aware that we were doing that."
"Doing what?"
"Talking."
"Seems like we are now."
"Yeah, and it's... It's going great."
"I don't want to fight anymore, Nico."
"Well, fighting requires talking."
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, I just thought I heard... something. A voice. But maybe it's just been a long couple of days."
"Tell me about it."
"I'd like to. Maybe things will make more sense after a good night's rest." - ―Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru[src]
Episode 2.10: Hostile Takeover[]
Dialogue[]
- "What the hell was that back there? Were you actually going to kill him?"
"I don't know what came over me. OK? I just couldn't see straight. I just kept thinking about what he's doing to Livvie, and I lost it."
"Well, do me a favor and find it, because you and I have to figure this out."
"There's nothing to figure out. Only one side is making it out of this."
"What is wrong with you? AWOL was right about one thing. We are just kids. We're not killers."
"But they are. And if we want to make it out of here, we might have to make a decision there's no coming back from."
"There has to be another way. I cannot use my powers to take someone's life." - ―Karolina Dean and Alex Wilder[src]
- "Can you try actually hitting something?"
"That's the first time I used them!" - ―Karolina Dean and Alex Wilder[src]
Episode 2.11: Last Waltz[]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "I'm looking for her. Karolina."
"Karolina Dean? You and everyone else. She is amazing."
"Can you show me something she's touched so I can find her?"
"Your line of inquiry is... It's very alarming." - ―Xavin and Vaughn Kaye[src]
Dialogue[]
- "Gert, you had to leave Old Lace behind. Chase, you got drugged and interrogated. Alex, your mom killed Darius, and now Livvie's gone. And Nico lost her sister, and then had to kill to protect us. And Karolina, your girlfriend killed your dad. Why am I the only one crying? We should all be crying."
"We're trying to be strong for you." - ―Molly Hernandez and Karolina Dean[src]
- "You look so stunning."
"And check out this curl."
"Molly, don't listen to these girls. They're like drug dealers. Repeat after me: "I cannot be improved upon."" - ―Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean and Gert Yorkes[src]
Episode 2.12: Earth Angel[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "They never told me I had a granddaughter. They never told me about you. If they had, I would have fought harder not to forget."
- ―Susan Ellerh to Karolina Dean[src]
- "I don't know what happened, but it was awesome. You're an angel."
- ―Molly Hernandez to Karolina Dean[src]
Dialogue[]
- "My mom's in trouble. Vaughn just called and said Frank sent her to the Crater. It's a Gibb compound in the desert where they do religious trials and discipline."
"Which sounds like brainwashing torture."
"Which is exactly why we need to go rescue her."
"Whoa, what? No way. We're trying to put our parents in jail, not break them out."
"This is different."
"Maybe better. Given the current state of the federal penitentiary system, religious prison might actually be more humane. It's like justice with meditation and yoga sessions."
"No, it's not like that. Vaughn sounded really scared. He said some people that go to the Crater don't come back."
"Well, that sounds like the logical result of joining an alien-worshiping cult."
"I lost my dad. I can't lose my mom too."
"We lost all of our parents the day we found out they were serial killers."
"Actually, we saved your dad when he was in trouble."
"And if we rescue my mom, maybe we could get some information out of her."
"You mean like turn her?"
"They get one of ours, we get one of theirs. I like it." - ―Karolina Dean, Nico Minoru, Alex Wilder, Gert Yorkes and Molly Hernandez[src]
- "You can't rescue her alone."
"I'm not going alone. Vaughn's coming."
"Yeah, kind of worse. No, I'll go too. Not because I believe in the mission, but because I-I believe in you." - ―Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean[src]
- "I hope she forgives me for the whole reconditioning thing. I had no idea Frank would take it this far."
"I'm sure she will. Don't worry."
"Have you met your mom?" - ―Vaughn Kaye, Karolina Dean and Nico Minoru[src]
- "Check it. Snack bags! I put Sake Kit-Kats in yours, Karolina, because I head you say you liked them once."
"Like, literally once." - ―Vaughn Kaye and Karolina Dean[src]
- "He wasn't my father. He donated DNA. That's all. You've raised me. Not him. You're my dad. And he's gone now, so..."
"And you and I can lead the church into the future together."
"You and me. And Mom. I know she's here. Can I see her?"
"Your mother has turned her back on the church."
3Then I want to help. If she's lost her way, she needs both of us."
"She may be beyond reach."
"She's an Elite Ultra. She's never beyond reach."
"You still believe."
"In the church. And in our family. But you can't keep her here if she wants to leave. That's only going to drive her further into the darkness. Let me see her. You taught me that anything is possible if I believe. I know I can lead her back to the light." - ―Karolina Dean and Frank Dean[src]
- "I spent nearly twenty years with your mother, Karolina, and you're not nearly as good a liar. I'm sorry, but I have no choice."
"You know this room can't hold me."
"Your powers can't help you. There's no Wizard tech at the Crater. There's nothing electronic at all, therefore nothing for your light to hijack. We're old school out here."
"Dad, this isn't you."
"It's who you and your mother have forced me to become." - ―Frank Dean and Karolina Dean[src]
- "What happened back there, how did you do that?"
"I don't know, I just felt this surge take over me, and I just let go."
"Well, it was breathtaking."
"It was an act, a lie. I preyed on those people's beliefs."
"Well, people who were trying to hurt you, and your mom and a lot of others. No. You were brilliant."
"I'm just glad you were by my side through it all."
"Actually, I wasn't. I said it was strategy to stay outside the gates, but I was actually scared of that Staff, and of what I might do with it."
"It's OK, Nico."
"No, it's not. You could have been hurt, or worse. And that's on me. How can I lead this group if I'm afraid to use my powers? After the strike team, I... I don't even know what I did."
"Have you thought that maybe your darkness is you? Your power? Like how my light is for me? I was afraid to embrace my powers, to be different. To be a freak. But, my true light, it comes from being both human and alien. I'm something new. Maybe you're finding your real power too."
"You really are amazing." - ―Nico Minoru and Karolina Dean[src]
Episode 2.13: Split Up[]
Spoken by Karolina Dean[]
- "Forgiveness is earned. Over time. With deeds, not words."
- ―Karolina Dean to Leslie Dean[src]
- "There's no leaving each other. Not anymore. No matter where we go, what the distance is between us, I will always come back to you."
- ―Karolina Dean to Nico Minoru[src]
Spoken about Karolina Dean[]
- "When you were little, still in a crib, we used to hear you in the morning, calling out to us. "Somebody get the baby!" I'd come in your room and you'd hold your arms out to me, and I'd pick you up and for just a few minutes, it was me and you. And I just wanted that to go on and on."
- ―Leslie Dean to Karolina Dean[src]
- "When you took to the sky and spread your wings, you confirmed everything in the Book of Gibborim. They're gonna be searching for you, desperate for another encounter. You're the messiah now, Karolina. Are you prepared for that?"
- ―Leslie Dean to Karolina Dean[src]
- "It should be assumed that I'd go along to protect my betrothed."
"She protects herself. And if she needs backup, I've got it." - ―Xavin and Nico Minoru[src]
- "I don't understand. You love Karolina. I'm trying to make you more comfortable by taking her form."
"Well, that's not the way."
"Well, what way is it? I was hoping Karolina would have responded to my courtship by now, but nothing seems to work."
"Yeah, you're moving pretty fast here, Xavin. And she hardly knows you. And human attraction is complicated under any circumstance." - ―Xavin and Leslie Dean[src]
- "I can't lose Karolina like I lost Amy."
- ―Nico Minoru[src]
Dialogue[]
- "I don't know what Xavin's plan is, but it's definitely not leaving."
"I think it's more like a quickie courthouse wedding, followed by eternal happiness and wandering the universe."
"Creepy."
"I didn't invite her. But she did stay on the ship, and she survived our parents' attack. We have a responsibility." - ―Karolina Dean, Nico Minoru and Molly Hernandez[src]
- "Why are you even after me? You already have Chase. Why do I matter?"
"Because you're more important." - ―Karolina Dean and the Magistrate[src]
- "Dad? Why are you doing this? And how is it possible? I don't understand. I watched you die."
"And I'm so sorry about that. Believe me, it was painful for both of us. But remember, I warned you I was gonna take everything. That includes you." - ―Karolina Dean and the Magistrate[src]
