Quotes 

• [Philip tells Corinne and Alex the things he believes in to be real] 

  Philip Train : Now, look, I'm just a dumb newspaper man. I believe Monday follows Sunday. I believe that summer follows spring. I believe in God and glasnost. I believe in things you can touch.

  Corinne Jeffries : Philip.

  Philip Train : [Philip kisses Corinne on the lips]  I love you, Corinne.

  Corinne Jeffries : Why didn't you ever tell me?

  Philip Train : How could I?

  Corinne Jeffries : All these years...

  Philip Train : Louie was always there with us, every moment. In your heart. In my heart. In the air.

  Corinne Jeffries : But I don't feel him here now.

• [Corinne asks Philip if he believes someone like Louie could come back to life] 

  Philip Train : Corinne... I can understand how a person's desires might lead her to believe that. It would be a dream come true. But the last guy to come back, that I know about, was Jesus Christ. You'll see Louie someday.

  Corinne Jeffries : I know, in Heaven.

  Corinne Jeffries : [Corinne covers her chest with the blanket sheet]  What are you doing here?

  Philip Train : We still can.
