The Intersection of Reality and Illusion
Brian O'Blivion
Max, I'm so glad you've came to me. I've been through it all myself you see. Your reality is already half video hallucination. If you're not careful, it will become total hallucination. You'll have to learn to live in a very strange new world... I had a brain tumour and I had visions. I believe the visions cause the tumour and not the reverse. I can feel the visions coalsce and become flesh. Uncontrollable flesh. But when they removed the tumour, it was called Videodrome. I was the-- I... I... was... Videodrome's... first victim...
Max Renn
Who's behind it? What do they want?
Nicki Brand
I want you, Max. You.

Negotiations on Preferred Shares and Dividends
Joe Gregory
You heard anything from Buffett?
Erin Callan
He's asking for preferred shares at 40, with a dividend of nine percent.
Dick Fuld
We were just at 66! What-the-fuck?
Joe Gregory
Maybe it's just an opening gambit, Dick.
Richard Fuld
Sounds more like a goddamn insult!
Erin Callan
Dick, we're at 36 right now. We haven't been anywhere near 66 in months. The markets like Buffett. His name will push the price up overnight.
Dick Fuld

A Bargain for Immortality and Faith
Cardinal Alba
Hello, Jack. From your expression, I assume you couldn't understand my presence here. I'm sorry to disillusion you, Jack. As one grows old, as death approaches, we begin to question... our faith. And I found mine lacking. "Is there a god? Is there a heaven?" I can no longer answer this for certain. I've witnessed no miracles, had no visions, and the prospect of death terrifies me. I've realized I've only one alternative, and I made a bargain. With the devil, if you wish.
[chuckles]
Jack Crow
You are truly a pile of dog shit, Cardinal.
Cardinal Alba
Yeah, that's right. That's correct, Jack and I can live with that. After I have given what Valek wants, he will fulfill our bargain. And I will be transformed into one of his... new children. It's beautiful, isn't it?
[chuckles]
Cardinal Alba
Eternal life... immortality... can change a heart.

Accountability in Housing Market Decisions
Dick Fuld

The Debate on Reality in Videodrome
Masha
Videodrome. What you see on that show, it's for real. It's not acting. It's... snuff TV.
Max Renn
I don't believe it.
Masha
So... don't believe.
Max Renn
Why do it for real? It's easier and safer to fake it.
Masha
Because it has something... that you don't have, Max. It has a philosophy, and that is what makes it dangerous.

Trust and Love in Complex Relationships
Colonel Robert Moore
I was Liz's mentor. There was a trust. She was a passionate young woman, yes, as well she should have been. But had I ever taken advantage of that... I would have lost the trust. So did I kill her? Of course not. Did I love her? I loved her very much. Make of that what you will.

Explosive Dialogue on Semtex and Detonation
Ned Trent
This is, uh... Shouldn't this be in the lock-up? I mean, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong. You guys are the experts. Maybe you don't need me. I mean, like what is this? This is... This is Semtex. Am I right? Plastique, correct? Plastic explosive. Am I right? You're the expert. This could blow up this whole area, and if this area goes... the whole building could go up. Am I right? I don't know. Maybe if I put this in here... What else do we have here? This is a plunger detonator, right? And that's a little mini-receiver. This looks like American circuitry to me. Call me a patriot, but American craftsmanship is the greatest. Watch. Here we go. Let's see. Perfect fit, first time, every time. Screw it on. One little twist. And, voila. A perfect receiver bomb. Which of course is absolutely worthless without a ... transmitter, but hey Twenty seconds, and we're hot. Okay, now deactivate it, you sanctimonious prick!
[smells; starts assembling a bomb; activates console; puts plunger detonator to bomb package offers bomb to officer]
Officer
Cut that shit Trent!
Ned
Oh yeah? Huh?
Officer
Okay, you made your point, all right?
Ned
Have I? Huh?
Officer
That's enough!
Ned
What do you mean that's enough? You think I give a sh*t if this whole fucking block goes up?! I don't! You've had enough. Is that what you're saying?
[tosses bomb at officer]
Officer
Yes, that's what I'm saying. Enough is enough! I can't do it.
Ned
Twelve.
[reads clock]
Officer
What the hell, are you crazy or something?
[gives detonator back to Trent, but the clock still ticks down]
Ned
I'm the craziest person you'll ever meet in your life. Six. Five. Four. Three.
Officer
Please!
Ned
Now, here's a tip you take care of the shit work. And leave the fox at the party to me. Okay? We on the same page? Ace?

The Burden of Choice and Responsibility
Dr. Harvey Mandrake
I'm going to consult with a player? What are you talking about? I know his answer! And getting killed, what? Maybe, maybe not. One chance in a thousand. They couldn't take a piss in the morning, without the pills. You want to play innocent? Fuck your innocence! You don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question. I didn't have to ask him, because I knew the answer. These men are football players, they are gladiators. They will not live with shame, like you. And long ago, they made that choice. Not you, not you. Not me. And I'm not going to take responsibility for standing between them... Didn't you ever have a... dream?

The Realities of Vampires Explained
Jack Crow
You ever seen a vampire?
Father Adam Guiteau
No.
Jack Crow
Well, first of all, they're not romantic, all right? It's not like they're a bunch of fuckin fags hoppin around in rented formal wear and seducing everybody in sight with cheesy Eurotrash accents, all right? Forget whatever you've seen in the movies. They don't turn into bats. Crosses don't work. Garlic? You wanna try garlic? You stand there with garlic around your neck, one of these buggers will bend you fucking over and take a walk up your strada chocolata while he's suckin the blood outta your neck, all right? And they don't sleep in coffins lined in taffeta. You wanna kill one? You drive a wooden stake right through his fuckin heart. Sunlight turns em into crispy critters. You got it?

Debate on Evidence and Credibility in Science
Senator
Dr. Arroway, You come to us with no evidence, no record... no artifacts. Only a story that, to put it mildly, strains credibility. Over half a trillion dollars were spent. Dozens of lives were lost. Are you really gonna sit there and tell us we should just take this all... on faith?
Michael Kitz
Please answer the question, doctor.
Ellie Arroway
Is it possible that it didn't happen? Yes... As a scientist, I must concede that. I must volunteer that.
Kitz
Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You admit you have absolutely no physical evidence to back up your story?
Arroway
Yes.
Kitz
You admit that you very well may have hallucinated this whole thing?
Arroway
Yes
Kitz
You admit that if you were in our position... you would respond with exactly the same degree of incredulity and skepticism?
Arroway
Yes.
Kitz
Then why don't you simply withdraw your testimony and admit that this journey to the center of the galaxy, IN FACT, NEVER TOOK PLACE!!??
[raises voice]
Arroway
Because I can't! I had an experience... I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever... A vision of the universe that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how... rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves, that we are not — that none of us — are alone! I wish I could share that. I wish, that everyone, if even for one moment, could feel that awe, and humility, and hope! But... that continues to be my wish.

Debate on National Security and Communication Ethics
Michael Kitz
Your having sent this announcement all over the world may well constitute a breach of national security.
Ellie Arroway
This isn't a person-to-person call. You can't possibly think that a civilization sending this kind of message would intend it just for Americans.
Kitz
I'm saying you might have consulted us; obviously, the contents of this message could be extremely sensitive.

Trent. He's standing next to you. I want to talk to him. Put him on the line! Ned, can you hear me? Talk to me. Talk to me, Ned. Your playmates know what kind of man you are? Why the Agency fired you? That killing people was like jerking off for you? Watching those bloody bodies going though the air gets you off. Talk to me. When you crawl into your hole at night alone... and you are alone, aren't you? Tell me what burns you the most. Losing your job as a CIA attack dog... or knowing that I turned you in and I'm still alive? Talk to me! You'll sell your service to the highest bidder! You stinking maggot!

You broke your famous code, didn't you? You killed an innocent bystander, Ray and it's just is eating you up inside, isn't it? You were always too fucking sensitive, but guess what? I'm coming Ray. I'm coming to take all the pain away. I'm gonna fucking cut it right out of you, and I'm gonna close your heart in my hand. I'm right behind you and I know you. I know you!
