Quotes 

• William Landis : I am not the reflection of anything. I am not an illusion. I am the truth. I'm invisible. Unknowable. You people are the real illusionists. You people are the real illusionists!

• Julia Jenz : Go away! Leave me alone! Please!

  William Landis : Listen to me very carefully. You don't live here, do you? You're just a babysitter. Have you been upstairs in the last five minutes?

  Julia Jenz : Why?

  William Landis : I don't think you're alone in this house. Someone's upstairs. I've seen them moving around through the windows. You should get out of there. Now.

• Julia Jenz : Look. Why don't you go bother the people next door, some other house on this block?

  William Landis : I have. They're not home. Nobody else is home on this street. Just you.

• William Landis : Come on out, Julia.

  Julia Jenz : I never told you my name!

• [following Landis' disastrous club performance] 

  Club Owner : What the fuck was that? What? You crazy? I ought to have you arrested.

  William Landis : Please. Look, I'll do it right. I-I need the money.

  Club Owner : Oh, you need money? Need money? Then you can lick the stinking toilets clean! There's your goddamn plumber.

• William Landis : And maybe for the college boys, the truest mirror is the toilet bowl staring back at them the morning after a toga party.
