  • A Friendly Man: There are worse things than forgetting.
  • Telly Paretta: No, there aren't.
  • Telly Paretta: What have you done with him? Why did you take him? What do you want?
  • A Friendly Man: It's an experiment.
  • Telly Paretta: He's just a little boy! What could you possibly learn from him?
  • A Friendly Man: Nothing.
  • Telly Paretta: [realizing] This wasn't about Sam. This wasn't about the children.
  • A Friendly Man: It was never about the children.
  • Telly Paretta: We were the experiment.
  • A Friendly Man: Your connection, mother to child. Like an invisible tissue. We can even measure its energy, but we don't fully understand it, so I posed the question, can it be dissolved? And it can. Except for you.
  • Telly Paretta: Give me back my son, and I'll do whatever you want.
  • A Friendly Man: What I want, Telly, is for you to forget your son, to forget Sam.
  • Telly Paretta: No.
  • A Friendly Man: If you don't, this experiment will fail. I'm accountable. I can't let that happen, and time is running out.
  • Dr. Jack Munce: You know this is getting out of control. It's finished now. End it. Make it right.

  • [yelling at Telly]
  • A Friendly Man: You need to FORGET!
