• Sara: Who the hell are you?
  John: (With a Massachusetts accent) Just a memory.
  Sara: Well, this is just a gun. How did you get in here?
  John: I was dreaming... of my life.
  Sara: Damn it, what is going on?
  John: Fear is stronger than reason, Sara. It is a hopeless emotion that wil always fail you. (Sara stands, pointing her gun at him, he continues to look out the window)
  Sara: Get down on the floor... and put your hands above your head.
  John: Look at how bright this world can be. Even with eyes closed, it's blinding.
  Sara: I could kill you.
  John: I am already dead, Sara. [edit]
• John: What do you do, Sara... when you're not entertaining ghosts?
  Sara: I'm a cop.
  John: Why?
  Sara: Because I wanna help others. Because I hate bullies.
  John: The rights of all men are dimished when the rights of any man are denied.
  Sara: I agree.
  Mystery Man: Thank you.
  Sara: Why thank me?
  John: Because, I, uh... I said that... There is an eloquence and valor to public service. To bearing the standard for the poor and the victimized. To assauge the incongruity in law and justice which persecute the less fortunate. [edit]
• (After learning the Man's name is John)
  Sara: When did you live, John?
  John: I was born in 1917. Died in my 40's.
  Sara: What did you do?
  John: I was a, uh...politician.
  Sara: Hmm, sorry to hear that.
  John: Public service is nothing to be ashamed of. It meant something once, to be your brother's keeper, to take an interest in the welfare of others, to lend a hand. [edit]

• Sara: Live free, or die!
  
  This is a famous quote from Revolutionary War General John Stark, which was later made the motto of the state of New Hampshire. [edit]
• Irons: (voice over for a commercial) Vorschlag- there can only be one!
  
  This is a reference to the sci-fi cult classic film Highlander which was later made into a TV series. [edit]
• Turell: Let's go say goodnight to Irene.
  
  "Goodnight, Irene" is an American folk classic that hit number one on the charts for The Weavers in 1950. [edit]
