Richard: [after handcuffing Lucy to his delivery case] I'm sorry, I really have no choice. The sooner you go in the sooner you'll be back out. Lucy: I can't believe you're doing this to me! Richard: I'll be right here, you have my word. Lucy: Your word isn't worth shit! Richard: It's worth 500 bucks, up front. Lucy: You’re an asshole. Richard: You're wonderful.

Professor Norman: But now we are entering the realms of science-fiction, and we don’t know any more than the dog who watches the moon. Student: Excuse me sir. Professor Norman: Yes?

Surgeon: Pregnant women manufacture CPH4 in their sixth week of pregnancy — in tiny quantities. For a baby, it packs the power of an atomic bomb. It's what gives the fetus the necessary energy to form all the bones in its body. I'd heard they were trying to make a synthetic version of it — didn't realize they'd succeeded. If it really is CPH4, in this quantity, I'm amazed you're still alive. Lucy: Not for long.

Wow, I'm very flattered young lady, but I find that hard to believe. I must have written no less than— Lucy: Six thousand seven hundred thirty four pages. I can recite them to you all by heart, if you wish. Professor Norman: Are you one of Emily's friends? This sounds like one of her silly jokes. Is she there with you? Lucy: [suddenly appearing on his television screen] No, I'm on my own. Professor Norman: [stunned and puzzled] Who are you? Lucy: I just told you. Professor Norman: [still hesitant and puzzled] Uh, Lucy, right? Yes. Sorry. Lucy: I read your theory on the use of the brain's capacity. It’s a little rudimentary but you're on the right track.

Professor Norman: [as Lucy prepares to inject herself with all the remaining CPH4] All this knowledge, Lucy — I'm not even sure that mankind is ready for it. We're so driven by power and profit. Given man's nature, it might bring us only instability and chaos. Lucy: Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge. I'll build a computer and download my knowledge in it.
