Field of Dreams - The Promise of Nostalgia and Hope
Terence Mann:
Ray. People will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you look around", you'll say. "It's only $20 per person". They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirtsleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces.
Mark:
Ray, when the bank opens in the morning, they'll foreclose.
Terence Mann:
People will come, Ray.
Mark:
You're broke, Ray. You sell now, or you'll lose everything.
Terence Mann:
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game; it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh…people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.

Buddy Wallace: [looks at a folder while Martin has a blank stare. Wallace turns the folder to show it has no papers]
And then, there's Martin Bishop... He doesn't seem to have a past.
Bishop: [Walks away]
I'm sorry, but I don't work for the government.
Dick Gordon: [Shows a card; [w:National Security Agency|National Security Agency]
We do. ].
Bishop:
Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone.
Gordon:
No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance.
Bishop:
Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators.
Gordon:
No, that's the CIA. We protect our government's communications, we try to break the other fella's codes. We're the good guys, Marty.
Bishop:
Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is...Dick.
Gordon: [gives Bishop a folded piece of paper]
Change your mind, call us at this number... Mr. Brice.
