Quotes

Director Wisdom: I need actionable intelligence, not paranormals and bullshit magicians. Callie Ferris: With all due respect, sir. This bullshit magician's shown a pattern of advanced awareness that is statistically impossible. You let me bring him in and you'll get what you want.

Quotes

Callie Ferris: I'm sure you know why I'm here. Because you're the man who knows what I'm going to do before I do it, right? Cris Johnson: [puzzled a moment by her assertion] Oh — the show. Right. Right! I saw you there. Wonderful. You like magic tricks. Callie: Yeah. Yeah, I do like your magic tricks, clairvoyance… whatever you're calling it. Let's talk about something hard. A stolen nuclear munition is being smuggled into the United States, or may, in fact, already be here. I want you to look ahead and tell me where it's going to be deployed. Cris: Uh... I think you've got the wrong guy. It's a magic act. Callie: You going to stick with that story? Because millions of lives are at risk and you could, maybe, prevent a major catastrophe. On a practical note: we're standing in front of a stolen vehicle and you're wanted for assault involving a weapon at the casino. Cris: All right — that was an accident. He had a gun. He was going to shoot two people. Callie: Yeah? How'd you know that? <

Quotes

Callie: Let's see. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Irv: [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) TV show] Oh, no! Who's watching ninja turtles?! Honey, who's watching the ninja turtles. Cris: [shocked] Why are you ninja turtles?!?!

Quotes

Cris: It's amazing isn't it? I end up in a diner where you are, and were both headed in the same direction. Liz: Well, I don't know if I'd call it amazing but… Cris: Destiny. That's what it really is. Liz: Okay… I'm starting to get that "psycho vibe." Cris: Oh, no. You don’t believe in destiny? Liz: Well, even if it does exist, I don't think I want to know. If every move we make is preordained, then what's the point in that? I mean, life is supposed to be a surprise. Isn't it? Cris: It would be nice.

Quotes

Cris: [contemplating a premonition of sharing a kiss] Wow. That was incredible. Liz: What was? Cris: This.[kisses her]

Quotes

Cris: There's an Italian painter, named Carletti, and, uh, ahem , he defined beauty. He said it was the summation of the parts working together in such a way that nothing needed to be added, taken away or altered, and that's you. You're beautiful. Liz: Wow.

Quotes

Cris: The man in that casino would have killed two people. It happened. It just hadn't happened yet. Liz: Oh my God. You are delusional.

Quotes

Liz: [as Cris demonstrates his precognitive abilities by switching TV channels, saying beforehand what will be said on each channel] How are you doing this? Cris: I have no idea how, but I can. I was born with it. Liz: Is this some kind of a trick? Cris: You know we don’t have time for that. You said anything was possible. Liz: So you see things before they happen? You see the future? Cris: My future. What'll effect me — and only two minutes ahead. Except you. For some reason I saw you. For some reason I saw you far beyond anything I'd ever seen before, and I don’t know why.

Quotes

Liz: I don't understand. If you can help them why don't you? Cris: Because I can't. I can only give them a two minute head start. And that's if my life is personally involved. Liz: But with me you can see further. Cris: Yeah. But they don't know that. [suddenly moves back, takes an envelope from his jacket] There's almost ten thousand dollars in this envelope. They know about you. You need to get away from here.

Quotes

Cris: You're going to be okay Liz. Mr. Smith: Back off! Cris: I've seen every possible ending here. None of them are good for you. Mr. Smith: I'll take my chances. One more step, fortuneteller, and it definitely won't be good for you. Cris: [steps forward through multiple manifestations of experiential awareness of potential events, till Smith's gun is empty] You have one way out of this. [Smith holds up the detonator; Ferris shoots it out of his hand] That wasn't it.

Quotes

Cris: There's something I've got to do. I can't put it off any longer. Liz: Are you coming back? Cris: Yeah. It might be a week, or a month. But if you can wait, I'll find you.
