Dan : Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice.
Linda Murphy : Clocks measure time.
Dan : No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock.
Edith : All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John?
Dan : He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it.

Edith : My God, what is this? It looks like a genuine Van Gogh, but I've never seen it before...
Dan : Is that an original, John?
John Oldman : No, it's just a gift someone gave me.
Edith : Still, it's a superb copy. Contemporaneous I think, may I take a closer look?
John Oldman : Please, yeah.
Edith : Yes, it's the same stretcher Van Gogh used.
Dan : Hey, there's writing on the back. It's in French.
Edith : To my friend Jacques Bon. Wonder who that was?
John Oldman : Someone he knew, I guess.

Edith : [Upset by one of John's claims] Were you?
John Oldman : [Gentle] If I said no, could you ever be sure?
-
Edith : Are you sorry for some of those things you said?
John Oldman : I'm sorry I said them.
-
Edith : You think that's all religion is about... selling hope and survival?
-
Dan : A medical test might be a way of proving of what you're saying
John Oldman : I don't wanna prove it.
Art : So, you're telling us this the yarn
[?]
Art : of the century and you don't care if we believe it or not?
John Oldman : I guess I should've expected you to... You're not as crazy as you think I am.
Edith : Amen!
Sandy : I've always liked you.
Edith : Well, thank you dear.
Sandy : Well, that's changing.
