Uncertainty About Future Developments
Carroll Oerstadt:
You think you know what's coming? You don't have a clue.
Doug Carlin:
I know where you're going. I know you're gonna be away for a long time. I know that.
Carroll Oerstadt:
This case will never even go to trial.
Doug Carlin:
No?
Carroll Oerstadt:
Cause I seen what's coming.
Doug Carlin:
Did... Have you? What? What is in this glass? You've seen what's coming, huh? Okay, what's coming? You tell me.
Carroll Oerstadt:
I told you earlier I have a destiny, a purpose. Satan reasons like man, but God thinks of eternity. Well, I prostrate myself before a world that's going to hell in a handbag, cause in all eternity, I am here and I will be remembered. That's destiny. A bomb has a destiny, a predetermined fate set by the hand of its creator, and anyone who tries to alter that destiny will be destroyed. Anyone who tries to stop it from happening will cause it to happen, and that's what you don't understand. We're not here to coexist. I'm here to win. So you'd better have some divine intervention, buddy. You're gonna need it.
Doug Carlin:
You'd better have some K-Y. You're gonna need it.

Doug Carlin: [pause]
You killed 543 people. How do you feel about that? I think that you were a murderer right from the beginning.
Carroll Oerstadt:
Sometimes a little human collateral is the cost of freedom. To me, those people were war casualties, but to you, they're just evidence.

Is she alive or is she dead?
Alexander Denny:
Alright: Life, like time and space, is not merely a local phenomenon.
Doug Carlin: [Screaming]
Oh alright! Am I asking a hard question?
Alexander Denny: [Muttering]
Looks like I picked a bad week to stop snorting hash.
Doug Carlin:
I'll tell you what: I will speak slow so that those of you with Ph.D's in the room can understand. Here, look. Here's a monitor, right?
Doug Carlin:
Now the monitor is broken. It's dead. It's not temporarily transitioned to another state of entropy, it's dead. Right. Now is she alive or is she dead?
Alexander Denny:
She's alive.
Doug Carlin:
Alright. Now we're getting somewhere.
