Dark City Quotes

Dr. Schreber:
I call them the Strangers. They abducted us and brought us here. This city, everyone in it... is their experiment. They mix and match our memories as they see fit, trying to divine what makes us unique. One day, a man might be an inspector. The next, someone entirely different. When they want to study a murderer, for instance, they simply imprint one of their citizens with a new personality. Arrange a family for him, friends, an entire history... even a lost wallet. Then they observe the results. Will a man, given the history of a killer, continue in that vein? Or are we, in fact, more than the sum of our memories?

Dr. Schreber:
It appears that John has suffered a psychotic break. Complete memory loss. He may be delusional. Even violent. Emma, if he were to contact you, and I suspect he will, you must call me immediately. Do you understand? It is imperative that I be the first one to reach him. Wherever you husband is, he is searching... for himself.

[from the director's cut]
Mr. Hand:
We're very lucky when you think about it.
Emma Murdoch:
I'm sorry?
Mr. Hand:
To be able to revisit those places which have meant so very much to us.
Emma Murdoch:
I thought it was more that we were haunted by them.
Mr. Hand:
Perhaps. But imagine a life Alien to yours. In which you memories were not your own, but those shared by every other of you kind. Imagine the torment of such an existence....no experiences to call your own.
Emma Murdoch:
If it was all you knew, maybe it would be a comfort.
Mr. Hand:
But if you were to discover something different...Something....better.

Mr. Hand:
There used to be a ferry when I was a boy. Biggest thing you ever saw, lit up like a floating birthday cake.

That's just what my husband once said to me on this very spot.
Mr. Hand:
Where is your husband now?
Emma Murdoch:
I wish I knew. What brings you here?
Mr. Hand:
I met my wife at this place.
Emma Murdoch:
It's where I first met my husband.
Mr. Hand:
Small world.

Walenski:
I've been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different!
Inspector Frank Bumstead:
You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case.
Walenski:
There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke!

Hey, do you know the way to Shell Beach?
Taxi Driver:
You're kidding! Me and the Mrs. spent our honeymoon there. All you gotta do is take Main Street West to... or is it the Cross... You know, that's funny, I can't remember if it's Main Street West or the Crosstown.

You are probably wondering why I keep appearing in your memories, John. It is because I have inserted myself into them.
