Shanti Quotes in Deja Vu (2006)

Shanti: We used *huge* amounts of energy to create this image!

Doug Carlin: Alright, how huge?

Denny: Well you remember that little blackout we had a few years back, we blamed Canada, Canada blamed Michigan...

Doug Carlin: Half the northeast. You're saying you guys...

Denny: 50 million homes?

Gunnars: [raises hand] My bad!

Denny: Well, I still say we blame Canada, but...

Doug Carlin: [watching Pryzwarra write the note] ... 2 L's. Surveilling, 2 L's.

Denny: [sarcastic laugh] ... since this is such a tremendous waste of taxpayer money, the least we could do is get the spelling right.

Shanti: That's not necessarily true. Branching Universe Theory holds you can do...

Denny: Ohhh... Branching... Universe... Theory... ohhh, no no no.

Shanti: Alright, I'll show you. The traditional view of time is linear, like a river, flowing from the past towards the future.

Doug Carlin: But you can change the course of a river, right?

Shanti: Exactly. Introduce a significant enough event at any point in this river and you create a new branch, still flowing toward the future, but along a different route. Changed.

Denny: Yeah, but that river is the Mississippi and we're lobbing what amounts to a pebble into it. That's a very few tiny ripples in a kind of big body of water, don't you think?

Shanti: Traditionalist.

Agent Pryzwarra: Say we do create this new branch. What happens to the old one to this one?

Denny: [referring to Shanti] ... Ask the radical!

Shanti: Well, it might continue parallel to the new branch. Most likely, it ceases to exist.

Denny: The idea is we cease to exist, alright? Or this version of us, anyway. Umm, we never came here, we didn't meet Doug, we don't remember it ever happening.

Agent Pryzwarra: Well, that's worth 10 billion right there.

Shanti: [Shanti is lost in the jungle] Who's there?

Kaa: Exssscussse me, pleassse...

[he begins hypnotizing Shanti]

Kaa: ... might I be of sssome asssissstansssce?

Kaa: Are you lossst, little one? Are you hungry? I'm ssstarved!

Ranjan: I got him Mowgli! Did you see? I got him.

Mowgli: You sure did Ranjan but it's gonna be kind of hard to finish the story now.

Ranjan: But we all know how it ends. Shanti blinks her big beautiful brown eyes at you and you followed her into our village.

Shanti: I did not.

Mowgli: Did so.

Shanti: Something was in my eye.

Mowgli: Both of them?

Shanti: Well you were so ugly you made my eyes water.

Shanti: You're horrible horrible stinky boys!
