Minority Report - Trust Issues in a Distrustful World
John Anderton:
Why should I trust you?
Dr. Iris Hineman:
You shouldn't. You shouldn't trust anyone. Certainly not the Attorney General who just wants it all for himself, and not the young Federal agent who wants your job, not even the old man who just wants to hold on to what he created. Don't trust anyone. Just find the Minority Report.

Minority Report - Fate and Free Will in Conflict
John Anderton:
I'm not a murderer. I've never even met the man I'm supposed to kill.

And yet, a chain of events has started, a chain that will lead inexorably to his death.
John Anderton:
Not if I stay away from him.
Dr. Iris Hineman:
How can you avoid a man you've never met?

Minority Report - The Invention of Precrime and Its Implications
John Anderton:
You can tell me how someone could fake a pre-vision.
Dr. Iris Hineman:
How would I know that?
John Anderton:
Because you invented Precrime.
Dr. Iris Hineman: [laughs dryly]
If a series of genetic mistakes and science gone haywire can be called "invention", then yes, I invented Precrime.
John Anderton:
You don't sound very proud.
Dr. Iris Hineman:
I'm not. I was trying to cure them, not turn them into something else.
John Anderton:
Cure who?
Dr. Iris Hineman:
The innocents we now use to stop the guilty.
John Anderton:
You're talking about... the Precogs.
Dr. Iris Hineman:
You think the three in the tank came out of a test tube? They are merely the ones who survived.

Minority Report - Urgent Warning About Future Consequences
Dr. Iris Hineman: [Offering John the antidote to a plant that has poisoned him]
You'd better drink this. Soon you won't be able to swallow, and then you'll be totally buggered.

Minority Report - Survival Instincts in All Living Organisms
Dr. Iris Hineman: [She starts crushing a mutated plant; the plant cuts her palm]
It's funny how all living organisms are alike. When the chips are down, when the pressure is on, every creature on the face of the Earth is interested in one thing and one thing only. Its own survival.

Minority Report - Perception of Creation and Reality in Parenthood
Dr. Iris Hineman:
I used to joke with Lamar that we were the mother and father of Precrime. Well, in my experience, parents very often see their children as they want them to be and not as they are.

Minority Report - The Nightmare of Genetic Research Consequences
Dr. Iris Hineman:
I was doing genetic research at the Woodhaven Clinic, treating children of drug addicts. This was ten years ago, when neuroin first hit the streets. It was an impure form of the drug, not the engineered cocktail that became so popular among the more educated. All of these kids were born with severe brain damage; most died before the age of twelve. Those few, those precious few who survived, they had a gift. I call it a gift; for them it was more like a cosmic joke. They would wake up in the night, curled up in the corner of their room, screaming, clawing at the wallpaper. Because, when these little children, as they closed their eyes at night, they dreamt only of murder, over and over, one after the other. And it didn't take long for us to realize that the real nightmare was that these so-called dreams were about to come true; these murders were actually happening!
