Quotes 

• Edmund : You were missed, David. It was Sofia who never fully recovered. It was she who some how knew you best... and like you, she never forgot that one night where true love seemed possible.

• Edmund : There are no guarantees, but remember: Even in the future, the sweet is never as sweet without the sour.

• Edmund : Consequences, David. It's the little things.

  David : The little things... there's nothing bigger, is there?

• Edmund : It's been a brilliant journey of self-awakening. And now you've simply got to ask yourself this: What is happiness to you, David?

• Edmund : Forgive me, I'm blowing your mind.

• [ALTERNATE ENDING: David and Edmond arrive on the roof of the Life Extensions building] 

  Edmund : Look, I tried to warn you in the bar. I told you, "You must exercise control of yourself". That it all depended on your mind. I gave you Technical Support. I gave you everything. I even gave you a theme song by Paul McCartney which is very hard material to acquire.

  David : So all I have to do is imagine something. Like if I wanted McCabe to come back right now...

  [as if on cue, McCabe bursts through the doors that David and Edmond have just exited] 

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : Listen to me. These people are dangerous. We're in trouble. We need to get off this roof now.

  Edmund : Now, your subconscious did create promise. Your dream turned into a nightmare and this gentleman was able to uncover the fabric of our work. The glitch has been corrected and we do apologize.

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : Now, David, I tell you this with my heart and my soul, this is a con man and we're going downstairs and we look for people. Come on.

  [begins heading for the exit] 

  Edmund : Take no notice of him. It's not real. He has no real feelings. He's no more real than the image of John Coltrane in your living room.

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : [having heard this, McCabe turns back angrily]  I'll kill you, you fuck. What do you know about mankind? What do you know about my feelings?

  Edmund : Easy, Doctor. You're a man of peace.

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : You son of a bitch. I'm an honored psychologist. I have two daughters and I will uncover this hoax with one-fiftieth of my intellect.

  [later, as David contemplates waking up by leaping off the building] 

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : David, you listen to everything I say now. You were right. This is the Seven Dwarves, they want you to commit suicide and if you jump, they win. "Take no notice" of me! "It's not real!" We've been set up! Please. Please, don't jump. You're like family to me.

  Edmund : Give yourself a little credit, David. Your attention to detail is -- it's magnificent. This stunning man is your creation. He's a very complex and winning manifestation of the loss of your father.

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : I'm not sure. I'm here.

  Edmund : Doctor. You created him to say goodbye and I must say, he's fabulous.

  [gesturing to his own clothes] 

  Edmund : Thank you for this suit as well! I would have never thought of it for myself.

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : I'm real. I have two daughters! You know that.

  Edmund : And what are their names?

  [McCabe looks over to Edmund, confused at the question; Edmond presses his ear forward as if to say "I'm listening". McCabe looks to David who is also waiting for an answer] 

  Dr. Curtis McCabe : [shrugs]  I'm real. I'm... I'm... mortality as home entertainment? THIS CANNOT BE THE FUTURE! Can it? CAN IT?

  [McCabe collapses to the ground, overwhelmed by this revelation]
