Quotes 

• John Murdoch : I know this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we never knew each other before now... and everything you remember, and everything that I'm supposed to remember, never really happened, someone just wants us to think it did?

  Emma Murdoch : But how can that be true? I so vividly remember meeting you. I remember falling in love with you. I remember losing you.

  Emma Murdoch : I love you John, you can't fake something like that.

  John Murdoch : No, you can't.

• Mr. Hand : There used to be a ferry when I was a boy. Biggest thing you ever saw, lit up like a floating birthday cake.

  Emma Murdoch : That's just what my husband once said to me on this very spot.

  Mr. Hand : Where is your husband now?

  Emma Murdoch : I wish I knew. What brings you here?

  Mr. Hand : I met my wife at this place.

  Emma Murdoch : It's where I first met my husband.

  Mr. Hand : Small world.

• [from the director's cut] 

  Mr. Hand : We're very lucky when you think about it.

  Emma Murdoch : I'm sorry?

  Mr. Hand : To be able to revisit those places which have meant so very much to us.

  Emma Murdoch : I thought it was more that we were haunted by them.

  Mr. Hand : Perhaps. But imagine a life Alien to yours. In which you memories were not your own, but those shared by every other of you kind. Imagine the torment of such an existence....no experiences to call your own.

  Emma Murdoch : If it was all you knew, maybe it would be a comfort.

  Mr. Hand : But if you were to discover something different...Something....better.

• [Emma notices Bumstead's accordian] 

  Emma Murdoch : It's beautiful.

  Inspector Frank Bumstead : It was a gift from my mother. She died recently. I keep it with me to remind me of her.

  Emma Murdoch : I'm sorry.

  Inspector Frank Bumstead : It's a funny thing, though. I can't remember WHEN she gave it to me. How do you think I could forget a thing like this?

• Mr. Wall : Do not fret, Anna. I will give you some more pretty things soon.

  Emma Murdoch : I'm not Anna.

  Mr. Wall : You will be soon, yes.

• [last lines] 

  Emma Murdoch : I'm Anna, by the way. What's your name?

  John Murdoch : John. John Murdoch.
