Quotes
-
Frank Wheatly : Dan, the reason I - stopped - I want you to try and understand - I just wanted to live like a human being again. A normal, ordinary life.
Dan Slater : Normal? Eight hours in the schoolroom? Noodles for dinner?
Frank Wheatly : Yes. And trust instead of blackmail. Building instead of corrupting. But, lying is a way of life. Or, suspecting everyone until you start questioning your own thoughts. It's a sickness. Professional paranoia that makes the whole world and everyone in it ugly.

Dan Slater : You're a bastard.
Kalmar : I am you.

Dan Slater : It won't work! You cannot duplicate a man - exactly. His face: yes. But, not what he really is.
Col. Berthold : Ah, yes, his soul. His immortal soul. There is no such thing. Behavior pattern, condition reflexes - yes. Pavlov proved it with dogs years ago. Kalmar is my proof that it can be done with men.
Dan Slater : What about his fingerprints?
Col. Berthold : Kalmar's fingerprints have already replaced yours in the files in Washington. For all practical purposes: you don't exist anymore.

Dan Slater : In our business, never believe a sob story... not even your own.
