Palmer: Maybe it's time to consider stopping. Strange: No, no, this is exactly the time not to stop, because, you see, I'm not getting any BETTER! Palmer: But this isn't medicine anymore, this is mania! Some things just can't be fixed. Strange: Life without my work -- Palmer: -- is still life. This isn't the end. There are other things that can give your life meaning. Strange: Like what? Like you? Palmer: [pauses, shocked by his words] And this is the part where you apologize. Strange: This is the part where you leave. Palmer: Fine. I can't watch you do this to yourself anymore. Strange: What, too difficult for you, is it? Palmer: Yes, it is. It breaks my heart to see you this way. Strange: No. Don't pity me. Palmer: I'm not pitying you. Strange: Oh yeah? Then what are you doing here?

Mordo: [Bursting in] STOP! Tampering with continuum probability is forbidden! Strange: I was just doing exactly what it said in the book! Wong: And what did the book say, about the dangers of performing that ritual? Strange: I don't know, I hadn't gotten to that part yet. Mordo: Temporal manipulations can create branches in time. Unstable dimensional openings! Spatial paradoxes, time loops! You want to get stuck experiencing the same moment over and over again forever, or never having existed at all?! Strange: They really should put the warnings before this stuff.

Kaecilius: How long have you been at Kamar-Taj, Mister... Strange: Doctor. Kaecilius: Mister Doctor? Strange: It's Strange. Kaecilius: Maybe. Who am I to judge?
