"Evan, don't even joke!" "He's not going to hurt you, okay?" "He's just trying to scare you away from me." "He killed my dog." "You don't remember that?" "Evan, it's not his fault."

"I'm kind of freaking out." "I know that, but... your accent's changed." "You don't even walk the same." "What, I walk differently?" "I mean, that dinner tonight, it was so beautiful." "It was gorgeous." "But it just wasn't you." "I can't do something nice for you?" "Wait... isn't that your jacket?" "Tommy!" "You stay away from us, you sick fuck." "Oh, get this "us" shit."

"When I'm out, I need you to watch my hands and face closely." "You need to see the prison shrink, man." "Just tell me if you see anything just-- weird." "Weirder than this?" "It could be marks."

"Well, actually, they didn't have these tests 20 years ago." "So, what did you find?" "We're finding most of the hemorrhaging is coming from here, the outer layer of the cerebral cortex." "That's where the memories are stored, mom." " Thank you, Evan." " Uh-huh." "I've never seen anything like it." "I've compared these to the ones taken last year, and found severe hemorrhaging and massive neural reconstruction." "And what does that mean for Evan?" "What he's saying, mom, is that I've jammed 40 years worth of memories into my head in the last year." "It's Overload City." "I've completely reprogrammed my brain." " That about the gist of it, doc?" " Yeah." "All right, I'm going to go wait in the car." "The light in here is kind of bugging my eyes, so..." "It was good seeing you, doc." "It really was."

"Does my line of work make you uncomfortable, precious?" "No, just that you felt like you had to use it to hurt me." "I've been where you've been." "Ha!" "Where is that?" "You wouldn't believe me if I told you." "I know people always say that, that you wouldn't believe me, but in this case it's not even worth trying, so" "Evan:" "Nothin' else mattered." "I knew I needed to find you, so I went over to your dad's and made him tell me where you were." "Then I came here and the rest you know." "You're right, Evan, I don't believe you."

"Forget that." "How about the fact that you prefer the smell of skunk to flowers?" "Or that you hate cilantro because for some reason unknown to you, it reminds you of your step-sister?" "Or that when you have an orgasm, your toes go numb?" "I'm sure all of your clientele are privy to that." "You know?" "Look, I just thought you should know." "Know what?"

"Maybe next time you'll pop up in some mansion while I end up in Tijuana doing some donkey act." "You know what?" "I'm over it." "Every time I try to help someone everything just goes to shit." "Well, don't give up now, slick." "Hell, you've already done so much for me." "Why don't you go back in time and save Mrs. Halpern and her baby?"
