Freddie Quell: I don't know what I told you but if you have work for me to do I can do it. Lancaster Dodd: You seem so familiar to me. Freddie Quell: Yeah. What do you do?

Dialogue

Lancaster Dodd: Why aren't you with her? Freddie Quell: I'm an idiot. Lancaster Dodd: Why aren't you with the lovely girl? Freddie Quell: I got no reason. I'm a fool. Lancaster Dodd: Do you love Doris? Freddie Quell: Yes. Lancaster Dodd: Is she the love of your life? Freddie Quell: Yes, sir. Lancaster Dodd: Then why aren't you with her?

Dialogue

John More: Some of this sounds quite like hypnosis. Is it not? Lancaster Dodd: This is a process of dehypnotization, if you will. Man is asleep; this process wakes him from his slumber. John More: I still find it difficult to see the proof with regards to past lives that your movement claims. Lancaster Dodd: Would you care to submit yourself to processing?

John More: I belong to no club, and if you're unwilling to allow any discussion... Lancaster Dodd: No, this isn't a discussion, it's a grilling! There's nothing I can do for you, if your mind has been made up. You seem to know the answers to your questions, why do you ask? John More: I'm sorry you're unwilling to defend your beliefs in any kind of rational... Lancaster Dodd: If, if you already know the answers to your questions, then why ask PIG FUCK? [beat] We are not helpless. And we are on a journey that risks the dark. If you don't mind, a good night to you.

You are asleep. Your spirit was free. Moving from body, to the next body. Free. Free for a moment.
