    Ian: Like they dropped a neutron bomb and nobody noticed.

  • Ian: He was right about one thing. Once you cross the line, there's no going back.

  • Ian: You think we've committed some kind of unnatural act, but we haven't. The whole of human life is about violence. It's a cruel world, Terry.

  • Ian: Would you sleep with a director to get a part?

    Angela: Well, that depends on the part, and who the director is, and how much I'd had to drink.

    Ian: It's not a very comforting answer.

    Angela: I didn't like the question.

  • Ian: It's funny how life has a life of its own.

  • Terry: What are you thinking?

    Ian: That then was then. And now is now. And we've done it and it's over.

    Ian: And it's always now.

    Ian: Ah, she's a beauty! I mean, look her - she's not new, but she looks new. He said the engine needed work.

    Terry: I could do the engine.

    Ian: I can't believe he's asking so little. It's practically a steal.

    Terry: John Anderson said we could keep it at his marina - free of charge - at least for a year till his son comes back.

    Ian: Ah, here he comes. Don't show you're too eager or he won't budge on the price, all right?

    Terry: Right.

  • Ian: She's innocent and also depraved. She's working class,but classy.

  • Ian: I know what's in his mind.

    Angela: Ian, I don't affect everyone the way that I affect you. If I did, my career would have taken off a long time ago.

  • Roz: Well, I hope you're pleased with yourself.

    Ian: I just told the truth, that's all.

    Roz: That's all? And you think that's somethings to be proud of?

    Ian: Somebody had to.

    Roz: No, nobody had to, unless they wanted to cause as much damage as possible, Ian.

  • Lil: Doctors say you'll live.

    Ian: [scoffs] Do they have any good news?

  • [last lines]

    Ian: [having swum to the raft] Good morning.

  • Ian: [about the children] You get them over excited.

    Roz: No, we spoil them is what we do. That's what grandmothers are supposed to do.

  • Roz: Where are you going?

    Ian: To your room.

    [Ian leaves]

    Lil: Ian!

    [Lil looks slyly towards Tom]

    Tom: [to Lil] See you at yours.

    [closeup to Lil with lustful expressions]

  • Ian: She made you decent, and in return you made her so happy, so happy, and I will always be grateful to you for that.

  • Ian: Call the bloody police! It's my flat too!

    Emma: Is it? I paid the mortgage! You just sat around farting and watching the bloody Wrath of Khan!

  • Sofi: How many senses do worms have?

    Ian: They have two. Smell and touch. Why?

    Sofi: So... they live without any ability to see or even know about light, right? The notion of light to them is unimaginable.

    Ian: Yeah.

    Sofi: But we humans... we know that light exists. All around them... right on top of them... they cannot sense it. But with a little mutation, they do. Right?

    Ian: Correct.

    Sofi: So... Doctor Eye... perhaps some humans, rare humans... have mutated to have another sense. A spirit sense. And can perceive a world that is right on top of us... everywhere. Just like the light on these worms.

  • Ian: You ever feel like when you met someone, they fill this hole inside of you, and then when they're gone... you feel that space painfully vacant?

  • Sofi: Do you know the story of the Phasianidae?

    Ian: The... No, what's that?

    Sofi: It's a bird that experiences all of time in one instant. And she sings the song of love and anger and fear and joy and sadness all at once. And this bird... when she meets the love of her life... is both happy and sad. Happy because she sees that for him it is the beginning, and sad because she knows it is already over.

  • Priya Varma: You know a scientist once asked the Dalai Lama, "What would you do if something scientific disproved your religious beliefs?" And he said, after much thought, "I would look at all the papers. I'd take a look at all the research and really try to understand things. And in the end, if it was clear that the scientific evidence disproved my spiritual beliefs, I would change my beliefs."

    Ian: That's a good answer.

    Priya Varma: Ian... what would you do if something spiritual disproved your scientific beliefs?

  • Ian: I don't believe in luck. I do believe we've known each other since forever, though.

    Sofi: Really?

    Ian: Yeah. You know how? When the big bang happened, all the atoms in the universe, they were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then, and, who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years. So my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

  • Ian: It's a false positive, you understand? It's an error. It has to be an error. It's statistically impossible. Data point.

    Karen: If I drop this phone a thousand times, a million times... and one time, it does't fall... just once, it hovers in the air. That is an error that's worth looking at.

  • Ian: I'd like to tell you the story of the eyes that changed my world.

  • Ian: You know we could be looking forever and find nothing.

    Karen: Turning over rocks and finding nothing is progress.

  • Sofi: You know you have it.

    Ian: Have what?

    Sofi: But you're scared of it.

    Ian: I have what?

    Sofi: Okay. You live in this room, right?

    Ian: Mm-hmm.

    Sofi: Reality. You have a bed, you have books, um, a desk, a chair, lamps. Logic. But in this room, you have a door... to the other side. See? Light comes through. It's open just a tiny bit, but it is open. You keep trying to close that door because you're scared. But you won't always be scared.

    Ian: What's behind the door? Besides my dirty laundry.

    Sofi: You have to go in to find out. You know what I'm talking about.

    Ian: I have no idea.

    Sofi: You will.

  • Sofi: Why are you working so hard to disprove God?

    Ian: Disprove? Who proved that God was there in the first place?

  • Sofi: When I saw you that night, I... I had the feeling that I had known you. Actually, I felt like you knew me.

    Ian: What do you mean?

    Sofi: Like we are connected from past lives.

    Ian: I don't believe in that.

    Sofi: What do you believe in?

    Ian: I'm a scientist. I believe in data.

  • Ian: I do believe we've known each other since forever.

    Sofi: Really?

    Ian: Yes. You know how? When the Big Bang happened, all the atoms in the universe were all smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward, so my atoms and your atoms were certainly together then and... who knows, probably smashed together several times in the last 13.7 billion years, so my atoms have known your atoms and they've always known your atoms. My atoms have always loved your atoms.

    Ian: Every living person on this planet has their own unique pair eyes. Each their own universe. My name is Doctor Ian Gray. I'm a father, and husband, and I'm a scientist. When I was a child, I realized that the camera was designed exactly like the human eye, taking in light through a lens, forming it into images. I began taking as many pictures of eyes as I possibly could. I'd like to tell you the story of the eyes that changed my world.

  • Ian: Where are you from?

    Sofi: Another planet.

  • Ian: What's your favourite flower?

    Sofi: Dandelions.

    Ian: Okay. Why?

    Sofi: 'Cause, they're free, wild, and you cant buy them.

  • Ian: Subject: Salomina. S as in...

    Karen: Shut the front door.

    Ian: A as in...

    Karen: Amazing.

    Ian: L as in...

    Karen: Love you.

    Ian: O as in...

    Karen: Open-minded.

    Ian: M as in...

    Karen: Maestro.

    Ian: I as in...

    Karen: Ian Gray.

    Ian: N as in...

    Karen: No way this is true.

    Ian: A as in...

    Karen: Afterlife?

  • Ian: What's wrong? I know something's wrong, so...

    Sofi: You leave me every day to torture little worms?

  • Ian: I'm so looking forward to brainwashing this child with you.

    Karen: You know what I was thinking? What if we turn the garage into a lab? And the baby could be our first test subject.

  • Ian: You live in this fairy, magical... fantasy land. It's a fucking lie, and you know it's a lie.

  • Ian: There is no proof that there is some magical spirit living above us

    Sofi: Why are you working so hard to disprove God?

  • Ian: Am I going to be stuck with this child the rest of my life?

  • Ian: You know when you're with someone there's only a very short time when you can really give each other things for free... with neither of you having to ask. Because later on all you do is make demands of each other. Perhaps the only difference between her and all the rest is that she's asking you for nothing.

  • Barb: [talking about the Chucky doll being sent to the house] It was obviously sent here by mistake; it must belong to someone else. And Alice, you already have too many dolls as it is...

    Alice: Yeah, but, Chucky's my friend till the end!

    Ian: Well I for one think it's a real nice gesture.

    [pause]

    Ian: Thank you, Auntie Nica!

    [off Barb's look]

    Ian: It's a doll. What's the worst that can happen, huh?

    Chucky: [In his Good Guy voice] I like to be hugged!

    Alice: I love to hug you too, Chucky!

    [as she hugs him tightly to her, Chucky's eyes eerily start to grow wide]

    Alice: [looks confused] What's that, Chucky?

    [has the doll pressed against her ear, as if listening to what he's saying]

    Alice: Oh, Chucky wants to know what's for dinner!

  • Ian: Renee, hand us the bucket.

    Renee: Fuck off.

    Ian: Thank you. That's very helpful of you.

  • Ian: I'm just saying I know what the worst could be.

    Renee: Oh, yeah? What's that?

    Ian: Well, this thing can get up to about 250 degrees. Do you want to risk that? Do you want your skin to fucking melt?

  • Ian: I don't know. There's something about her. Something about her I like.

    Michael: I think the thing you like about her is that she was half-naked.

  • Ian: [toasting to the farm] To old Mac Donald's farm...

    Keith: Ee-i-ee-i-o!

  • Ian: You're not in control. No one's controlling this. It's not personal. It's not about us. Don't fool yourself into thinking you understand it. You can either service it or resist it. Either way, in the end it wins. Not everyone's saved. But without it, everyone is doomed.

    Gina: Human hands are so nice.

  • Gina: Just answer me one thing, am I saving them or destroying them?

    Ian: Is there a difference?
