Quotes 

• Claire Tourneur : If I knew where he was, I wouldn't be here with you. I would be with him! I would be making love with him! Why did I say that?

  Burt : I've given you pantetheine-phosphate. It's a truth drug.

  Claire Tourneur : That's okay. I've given you five sleeping pills myself.

  Burt : Oh, you bitch.

  Claire Tourneur : Is he really a criminal?

  Burt : Waiter! Coffee...

  Claire Tourneur : So what, I'm a criminal too!

• Claire Tourneur : [to Eugene]  I still love you, broken ladder.

• Claire Tourneur : I still love you; but, its a different sort of love, that's all. It's like a ladder.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : I'm like a ladder?

  Claire Tourneur : Like a ladder with a broken step.

• Claire Tourneur : Hey, it's you... broken ladder.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : Where have you been?

  Claire Tourneur : Everywhere - and back.

• Claire Tourneur : I am not sharing your room!

  Phillip Winter : You expect me to pay for two rooms?

  Claire Tourneur : I expect you to pay for mine!

• Claire Tourneur : What do you do?

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : I travel - and - I see.

• Claire Tourneur : [Listening to a Aborigine singing]  What's he singing?

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : He's singing the country. The country is like their bible. It's like - that tree is Jonah. That rock - is the whale. Everything is part of a story. He's the custodian of this stretch of the country, this part of the story. If he doesn't keep it alive, by telling it, it'll die. And so will he.

• Claire Tourneur : They did it. They shot down the satellite.

• Claire Tourneur : It's the end of the world.

• Claire Tourneur : I just want my money back.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : [looking speculatively at the "Bounty Bear" interface]  How much would it cost to set me up with one of these hard and soft?

  Claire Tourneur : Gene?

  Phillip Winter : No, no, no, please. Marry her. Slap her around. But, don't go chasing after this guy. She's not going to fuck you, she wants to fuck him!

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : I don't think you quite understand the nature of our relationship.

  Phillip Winter : Besides, you're out of your depth! To buy a computer from this... you think you're a detective? When you get back from Moscow you'll be broke. They'll have repossessed your car. You'll have... turned off. Your computers will be down. Your garbage won't be picked. You won't...

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Mr. Winter, admit it! You'd love it but you can't afford it!

• Claire Tourneur : [the dream-player is out of battery]  Gene, can't you make it work?

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : I can't, Clarire. It's dead.

  Claire Tourneur : I'm dead. My heart is dead! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhh!

• Eugene Fitzpatrick : Do you love him?

  Claire Tourneur : Yes, I do.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Well, I hope he loves you.

• Claire Tourneur : I trusted him.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Sure, and then he robbed you...

• Claire Tourneur : It's incredible. I just seem to attract criminals.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : You tired?

  Claire Tourneur : Me? Never.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : I told them we were on our honeymoon.

  Claire Tourneur : And they believed it?

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : So, who am I married to? To a pusher or a bank robber?

  Claire Tourneur : Take your pick.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : What do you do?

  Claire Tourneur : Everything. Nothing.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : Good luck.

  Claire Tourneur : That's what I need.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : I hope you learn to sleep.

  Claire Tourneur : We'll see.

• Claire Tourneur : I forgot - how nice you smelled.

• Claire Tourneur : I think he's a spy. I didn't think they had spies anymore. I mean, we are here in Moscow in 1999. Actually, I'm not a tourist, I'm a burglar. I've stolen these things to protect a man who has stolen my money. I had it - from other guys - who had stolen it from the people who had stolen it from a bank. Are you following me?

• Claire Tourneur : Remember the first time we came to Tokyo? It was the summer of 1994. Our first summer.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : It rained all the time.

  Claire Tourneur : We saw the Rolling Stones last concert.

• Claire Tourneur : Do you know who I am?

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : Weren't you the angel in Lisbon?

  Claire Tourneur : I am the angel again.

• Karl : He wants his Nobel prize.

  Claire Tourneur : Making blind people see.

  Karl : You're joking. The potential for this device is awesome. It can take visual information straight from the brain. Once they do that, you can suck out our dreams and look at them like television.

• Claire Tourneur : [singing]  I wish today could be tomorrow, The night is dark, It just brings sorrow, let it wait, Thank you for the days, Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me, I'm thinking of the days, I won't forget a single day, believe me, Days I'll remember all my life...

• Claire Tourneur : What's he doing?

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : He's trying to record his own dreams.

• Claire Tourneur : I shouldn't be seeing this.

• Claire Tourneur : This is so beautiful.

  Henry Farber : Beautiful? Wallpaper is beautiful. You're now looking at the human soul - singing to itself, to it's own God!

  Claire Tourneur : I don't know about - God.

  Henry Farber : The God within us! Look at it. It needs nothing!

  Claire Tourneur : It needs everything.

  Henry Farber : No! Nothing! Nothing, dear!

  Claire Tourneur : It will eat us up alive.

  Henry Farber : Never.

  Claire Tourneur : We should really stop this.

  Henry Farber : Stop it? How could we stop it? This is all we've ever wanted! This is what we feed on. Could we ever - turn away from this?

  Claire Tourneur : We don't have the right.

• Claire Tourneur : But, now. What happens now?

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Oh, that's for you to invent.

  Claire Tourneur : The Dancer on the Planet, you call it.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Yeah. I watched you dance.

• Eugene Fitzpatrick : I love loving you.

  Claire Tourneur : That's a good song title.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Ah, its too corny.

  Claire Tourneur : It depends.

• Eugene Fitzpatrick : What is this?

  Claire Tourneur : Pygmies.

  Eugene Fitzpatrick : Pygmies?

• Claire Tourneur : Thanks for the music; but, you still owe the bank.

• Madman in Bar : Look at them. We're on the eve of destruction and all they give a damn about is laughing, drinking, carousing. Don't they realize that this satellite business could mean the end of the world as we know it?

  Claire Tourneur : If it was the end of the world, why shouldn't we go down laughing?

  Madman in Bar : I could fall in love with you right now.

  Claire Tourneur : Don't.

  Madman in Bar : Then, I'll love you in my dreams.

  Claire Tourneur : I will remember you too.

  Madman in Bar : One day, I will no longer be alive. And when that day comes, remember me as I am now.

• Claire Tourneur : What I'm really worried about is - there's a hit man chasing after him.

  Phillip Winter : Then we better get him fast - and first. Fast and first.

• Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : I'm not the one who robs banks, you know. You are.

  Claire Tourneur : First you stole from me and then you stood me up.

  Sam Farber, alias Trevor McPhee : You just - happened to wander in here today to find me? That's three countries in three days, baby!

  Claire Tourneur : Don't call me baby.

• Eugene Fitzpatrick : Who is this Trevor McPhee character?

  Claire Tourneur : Tall, handsome stranger from Australia with an American accent.
