Agent Dodge Quotes in Paycheck (2003)

Attorney General Brown: We knew Decker was trying to design something. But when he sold his plans, he wasn't even halfway done.

Agent Klein: I don't understand.

Attorney General Brown: Decker was working at JPL on a laser-enhanced lens. He claimed the lens was powerful enough to see around the curvature of the universe.

[He picks up a red apple to demonstrate]

Attorney General Brown: Decker believed that if you could see around a curve that went on forever, you would end up back where you started. Looking at yourself.

[Brown tosses the apple to Klein]

Agent Dodge: Except you're not looking back at yourself now, in the present.

Attorney General Brown: No, you are not. You're looking at the future.

[Klein understands now]

Attorney General Brown: Can you imagine what'll happen if Jennings figures out what he's done and tries to profit from it? Any nation in the world would give him a king's ransom.

Agent Dodge: Jennings won't do that. I was this close to him. He never lied. When he heard what he's being accused of, he was hurt and scared.

Attorney General Brown: Fine! Once you bring him in, I'll give him the Medal of Honor. That's if Rethrick doesn't find him first!

Agent Klein: Do you think Jennings really saw the future?

Agent Dodge: Uh-huh.

Agent Klein: [with a touch of ambition] That'd be something.
