- Miss Parker: Loving you made me realize that...that there are...are places in me...Tommy, dark places.
Tommy: And you're afraid that if I see them, that I'll reject you? Parker. If something is not right, we'll deal with it together. I'm a fix-it man, remember?
Miss Parker: I guess that makes me your new project?
Tommy: Yeah. And this one I'll never sell. edit » - Neil: I suspect you're a very clever man. You know, I've been tracking reports of another clever person. Very mysterious. Shows up at unexpected spots. Always there to help the needy and the abused. (hands Jarod a notebook filled with newspaper clippings of things he's done) Well, you didn't think I'd tell my secrets to any schmo, did you?
Jarod: Why didn't you expose me on the air?
Neil: Nah. No, I only go after bad conspiracies. edit » - Jarod: You don't know the first thing about being in prison. Sometimes the worst kind of prison is the kind that you have to wake up to every morning--when you think you are out free in the world and you're being hunted and stalked. edit »
- Jarod: The funny thing about traps, they don't discriminate between the hunter and the hunted. edit »
- Dr. Spence: You're never going to find me. I'm one of Neil's secrets--contradiction inside of paradox wrapped up in enigma--a kind of conspiracy that even he can't reveal. edit »
- Jarod's surname: Turgidson (referencing the character General Turgidson from the 1964 cold war farce Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) edit »
- Dr. Spence: I'm the shooter in the book depository.
This is a reference to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which took place at the Texas School Book Depository. edit »
