A Portal to John Malkovich's Perspective
Craig:
There's a tiny door in that empty office. It's a portal, Maxine. It takes you inside John Malkovich. You see the world through John Malkovich's eyes, then, after about fifteen minutes, you're spit out into a ditch on the side of The New Jersey Turnpike.
Maxine:
Sounds delightful. Who the fuck is John Malkovich?
Craig:
He's an actor. One of the great American actors of the 20th century.
Maxine:
What's he been in?
Craig: [[Buddha]
Lots of things. He's very well respected. That jewel thief movie, for example. The point is that this is a very odd thing, supernatural, for lack of a better word. It raises all sorts of philosophical questions about the nature of self, about the existence of the soul. Am I me? Is Malkovich Malkovich? Was the ] right, is duality an illusion? Do you realize what a metaphysical can of worms this portal is? I don't think I can go on living my life as I have lived it.

Craig:
And who's to say I won't be seeing what you're seeing... in court?
