Quotes9

  • Dan: Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice.
  • Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time.
  • Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock.
  • Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John?
  • Dan: He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it.
  • Edith: [Angry] Where were you in 1292 A.D.?
  • John Oldman: [Calm] Where were you a year ago today?
  • Edith: [talking about God] He's everywhere. We just can't see him.
  • Harry: Pfft. If this was the best I could do, I'd be hiding, too.
  • Edith: My God, what is this? It looks like a genuine Van Gogh, but I've never seen it before...
  • Dan: Is that an original, John?
  • John Oldman: No, it's just a gift someone gave me.
  • Edith: Still, it's a superb copy. Contemporaneous I think, may I take a closer look?
  • John Oldman: Please, yeah.
  • Edith: Yes, it's the same stretcher Van Gogh used.
  • Dan: Hey, there's writing on the back. It's in French.
  • Edith: To my friend Jacques Bon. Wonder who that was?
  • John Oldman: Someone he knew, I guess.
  • Edith: [Upset by one of John's claims] Were you?
  • John Oldman: [Gentle] If I said no, could you ever be sure?
  • Edith: Are you sorry for some of those things you said?
  • John Oldman: I'm sorry I said them.
  • Edith: You think that's all religion is about... selling hope and survival?
  • Dan: A medical test might be a way of proving of what you're saying
  • John Oldman: I don't wanna prove it.
  • Art: So, you're telling us this the yarn
  • [?]
  • Art: of the century and you don't care if we believe it or not?
  • John Oldman: I guess I should've expected you to... You're not as crazy as you think I am.
  • Edith: Amen!
  • Sandy: I've always liked you.
  • Edith: Well, thank you dear.
  • Sandy: Well, that's changing.
  • Edith: Mm, that's a secret we'd all love to have.
  • John Oldman: Would you really want to do that? Live 14,000 years?
  • Art: Well, if I could stay healthy and I didn't age, I mean, why not?
