Quotes 

• John Henry : There is a bible story of two brothers, Cain and Abel. God favored Abel. Cain killed him. God cursed Cain, and ordered him to wander the world alone.

  Catherine Weaver : I'm familiar with the story.

  John Henry : Which brother am I?

  Catherine Weaver : I don't know, John Henry. Perhaps you're neither. Perhaps in this story - you are God.

• John Henry : What would happen if he knew?

  Catherine Weaver : Knew what?

  John Henry : That you aren't Savannah's mother? That you aren't anyone's mother?

  Catherine Weaver : Are you threatening me, John Henry?

  John Henry : I could tell Mr. Ellison.

  Catherine Weaver : You could. But that would be unfortunate - mostly for Mr. Ellison.

• John Henry : Mr. Ellison taught me that human life is sacred.

  Catherine Weaver : Sacred? That's an interesting word. Comes from the Latin 'sacrum', much like another word - sacrifice.

  John Henry : Sacrifice...

  Catherine Weaver : Perhaps it's necessary to sacrifice Savannah for the greater good. The greater good is keeping you safe.

• John Henry : Do you have a brother, Mr. Ellison?

  James Ellison : Yes, in Atlanta.

  John Henry : Does he look like you?

  James Ellison : People seem to think so.

  John Henry : Do you think my brother looks like me?

  James Ellison : John Henry, wherever your brother might be, he's a... computer. He doesn't look like anyone. He certainly doesn't have your face.

• John Henry : The human brain is an amazing computer. Its raw clock speed is twenty billion calculations per second. Its storage is functionally infinite. But it's flawed.

  James Ellison : How's that?

  John Henry : There's nowhere to download it when you die.

• John Henry : Your bible solves this problem by introducing the concept of 'heaven'.

  James Ellison : Yes.

  John Henry : Billions of souls with no bodies.

  James Ellison : Okay.

  John Henry : [indicating the bulk of his own computer]  Yet all this is required, simply to process the unique entity you call John Henry.

  James Ellison : Yes.

  John Henry : It's possible heaven has a hardware problem.

• John Henry : If I keep your secret, will you bring Savannah back?

  James Ellison : I'll do everything in my power.

  John Henry : So will I.
