Scarlett Johansson aufgeführt in der Rolle von...
Olivia Wenscombe
- Olivia Wenscombe: You married her. You had a child with her.
- Alfred Borden: Yes. Part of me did. But the other part... the other part didn't. The part that found you, the part that's sitting here right now.
- Olivia Wenscombe: You could be in some other cafe saying the same thing about me right now. It's inhuman to be so cold.
- Olivia Wenscombe: [referring to Angier] He wants me to come work for you and steal your secrets.
- Alfred Borden: What does he need my secrets for? His trick is top-notch. He vanishes, and then he reappears instantly on the other side of the stage - mute, overweight, and unless I'm mistaken, very drunk. It's astonishing, how does he do it?
- Olivia Wenscombe: He says that it's even between you.
- Robert Angier: Even? My wife for a few of his fingers?
- Olivia Wenscombe: It won't bring your wife back.
- Robert Angier: I don't care about my wife. I care about his secret.
- [Discussing Borden's trick]
- Robert Angier: How does he do it?
- Cutter: He uses a double.
- Robert Angier: No, no, no, no. It's too simple. This is a complex illusion.
- Cutter: You only say that because you don't know the method. It's a double that comes out of the other end, I promise you.
- Robert Angier: I've seen the show three times now, Mr. Cutter, and the prestige is the same man coming out of the second box.
- Cutter: No, it's not.
- Olivia Wenscombe: It's the same man. He wears gloves to hide his fingers, but if you look closely you can tell.
- [Olivia visits Alfred Borden in his workshop. Bernard Fallon is there too]
- Olivia Wenscombe: I'm here to give your show what's still missing.
- Alfred Borden: Yeah? What might that be?
- Olivia Wenscombe: Me.
- [Borden laughs]
- Alfred Borden: I was just saying that; weren't I, Bernard? Woman's touch.
- Olivia Wenscombe: I *have* fallen in love with him, Robert.
- Robert Angier: Then I know how hard this has been for you.
- [Discussing Borden's show]
- Robert Angier: He had a new trick today.
- Olivia Wenscombe: Was it good?
- Robert Angier: It was the most amazing magic trick I've ever seen.
