Stone Quotes in Surrogates (2009)

Peters: That's far enough, Stone. I know who hired you to kill me. I hope my old partners at VSI paid you well. Did you feel any second of remorse when you found out you'd murdered an innocent boy?

Stone: Canter. I don't believe it. OK... How about you tell me something, doctor. Huh? What did you expect VSI to do? Just stand by while you tore down everything they built? You left us no choice but to take you out. You create this technology, change the world, and now you want to destroy it? So what? So you can take us backwards? So we can all live like dreads?

Peters: So we can live like human beings.

Stone: Really, doctor. You should learn how to live with your regrets.

Stone: My guy in D.C. tells me that we are not dealing with a student here, we're dealing with the Professor. Any time the military has an operation that can't fail, they call this guy in to train the troops, OK? He's the kind of guy that would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire! You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. This guy's a professional, you got me? If he reaches this rig, we're all gonna be nothing but a big goddamned hole right in the middle of Alaska. So let's go find him and kill him and get rid of the son of a bitch!

Radio Interviewer: [talking calls] Next up here is Gerald, from south west Detroit. Welcome, Gerald.

Stone: I, I just wanna say, I got this book. They say that when you experience a spiritual truth, that it comes to you through sound. If you let this sound go through you, it changes you, you know? Puts you back into harmony. You know, it makes you like a tuning fork of God.

Radio Interviewer: Okay...

Stone: Yeah. They say, they say, you can start with small things, like little vibrations. You know, sound of a bee, sound of a buzzing light, and then it grows.

Radio Interviewer: All right. That's interesting.

Stone: Well, they say that everything that happens to you is what was supposed to happen to you, for you to advance. But you gotta come back lots a times, cycle through many lives until you learn, so you can grow.

Radio Interviewer: Well, thanks for your input. Next time up here in the WDDL listener line is Kathy in Farmington...

Stone: We're all God's co-workers.

Stone: You ever think about things they say go on forever?

Lucetta: What?

Stone: Things they say go on forever - like... what's that mean, you know? The sky, like, they say the sky goes on forever. But what is that really? That's - I mean, you can't see nothing you can't see, so... it's like a big bowl of blue above you. You can see clouds during the day or you can see stars at night maybe, but even with a telescope you can't see forever. So how do they know?

Lucetta: Know what?

Stone: What it is. Eternity - how do they know?

Stone: They say the sound part comes first. They say, when you experience a spiritual truth, that it comes to you as a sound that goes through you, changes your vibration, gets you back in the harmony. Like God's tuning fork or something... And then, if you let that happen to you, then you get the light, you get an illumination.

Stone: I'll tell you between you and me,

[my wife]

Stone: , she's an alien.

Jack Mabry: Alien? What do you mean? Like an illegal?

Stone: No, she ain't illegal man. She's whiter than you.

Tim Steinberg: It has to be a virus. I mean, his computer is probably still logged on. It's just hitting his address book.

Mattie Webber: They said, "Help me."

Stone: Yeah, but viruses always have some important-sounding shit. I mean, just the other day, I got one that said, "Urgent, Stone. Read me now." I mean, that's a natural occurrence. It happens all the time...

Isabell Fuentes: That was from me, you idiot.

Stone: Damn. That was pretty strong.

Stone: [showing off his pirated DVDs] A'ight. Check this out. I got all the new joint... Actually these last four, y'all have already. And then these five, right here, won't even be out for another month. Plus I have some other ones here...

Isabell Fuentes: Yeah. You know, you should just save us a few little tax dollars and drive yourself to jail right now.

Stone: Can I use your car? And don't forget, I gotta take you with me, because you did buy some of the stuff.
