- Jeff Novak: If we knew all of the answers, we wouldn't be human. Maybe not knowing the answer makes us go on living. That's what life's all about.
- Sara Novak: [walks to the camera in the corner of the room... suddenly Vern appears behind her...] Curran...
- Vern: This is the part of the design, Sara...
- Jeff Novak: [to Sara] It's good to look for answers, but sometimes you look too hard, you lose the ones you have.

- Jeff Novak: [entering interrogation room] Hi Emily. Didn't need to be like this, did it?
- Jeff Novak: "Emily Gray. First class artist, high school. Graduated Vancouver." Everything seems to have gone along swimmingly until 1995. Then, 1996 comes along, and wow. You tried to drown a little boy in a lake, out of the blue. You served 5 years on that, you're out for only one, and then this mess. You want to tell me what's going on? I mean you do right? I mean that's why you confessed. I'm all ears, Emily? If you've got something to say, let's hear it. What - the hell - happened?
- Emily Gray: What if I told you that I knew the meaning of life?
- Vern: Look around. Life? Just an accident, man. Random collision of particles in space. Any meaning it has is only the one we've given it ourselves. Just like a riddle. What do the poor have that the rich want and God fears? Like death, or love, or God... And the answer all depends on how you look at things.
- Dennis Reveni: [pondering]
- Vern: What do the poor have that the rich want and God fears? Simple.
- Dennis Reveni: [flips card around] "Nothing". That is so for real. It's just like everything is just one big a puzzle in your mind.
- Vern: Hmm. Every mind is different...
- Sara Novak: Hey Curran, have you ever stopped to wonder why none of the little games you play ever work, or do you just figure it's hygiene problem.
- Vern: Sara, it's just a game, it's not real.
- Sara Novak: What is a game, Vern? Something where you have to give the pieces back once the time's done. Well guess what, that means it's all a game. Life, everything, one big game.
- Jeff Novak: You're crazy!
- Emily Gray: Am I? Because I drowned a boy? Because I killed this student? Is that so wrong? Is an earthquake wrong when it kills? Or a car? Or a flight of stairs... Why don't you just admit it, you don't understand why anything happens. And you never will...
