Quotes
-
David Dunn : Friends listen to each other! And they don't shoot each other, do they Audrey?
Audrey Dunn : N-... No shooting friends, Joseph...
-
Elijah Price : It has begun. Tell me something, David. When you woke up this morning... Was it still there? The sadness?
David Dunn : No.
Elijah Price : I think this is where we shake hands.
[handshake]
Elijah Price : [flashback occurs upon shaking] I worked in that building 25 years, I know all its secrets.
David Dunn : Secrets?
Elijah Price : Like, if there ever was a fire on floors 1, 2 or 3, everyone in that hotel would be burned alive.
[after flashbacks end]
Elijah Price : You know what the scariest thing is? To not know your place in this world. To not know why you're here... That's... That's just an awful feeling.
David Dunn : What have you done...?
Elijah Price : I almost gave up hope. There were so many times I questioned myself...
David Dunn : You killed all those people...
Elijah Price : But I found you. So many sacrifices, just to find you.
David Dunn : Jesus Christ...
Elijah Price : Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr. Glass.

Elijah Price : Why is it, do you think, that of all the professions in the world you chose protection?
David Dunn : You are a very strange man.
Elijah Price : You could have been a tax accountant. You could have owned your own gym. You could have opened a chain of restaurants. You could've done one of ten thousand things, but in the end, you chose to protect people. *You* made that decision, and I find that very, very interesting. Now all I need is your credit card number.
[beat]
Elijah Price : That last part was a joke.
-
Joseph Dunn : I thought maybe because you're my dad... I thought I might be like you... I'm not like you...
David Dunn : You are like me. We can both get hurt. I'm just an ordinary man.
Joseph Dunn : No, you're not... Why do you keep saying that?
-
David Dunn : You killed all those people.
Elijah Price : But I found you. So many sacrifices just to find you.
-
David Dunn : You should never do anything like this. You know that, right?
Joseph Dunn : Yeah.
David Dunn : What should you do if something bad happens?
Joseph Dunn : Get Mom.
-
David Dunn : I had a bad dream.
Audrey Dunn : It's over now.
-
Joseph Dunn : Do you think you could beat up Bruce Lee?
David Dunn : No.
Joseph Dunn : I mean, if you knew karate?
David Dunn : Nope.
Joseph Dunn : What if he wasn't allowed to kick, and you were *really* mad at him?
David Dunn : No, Joseph.
-
Elijah Price : [answering his phone] Hello?
David Dunn : I wasn't injured in that car accident.
Elijah Price : David.
David Dunn : I've never been injured, Elijah. What am I supposed to do?
Elijah Price : Go to where people are. You won't have to look very long. It's all right to be afraid, David... because this part won't be like a comic book. Real life doesn't fit into little boxes that were drawn for it.
-
David Dunn : [talking to Elijah on phone] I've never been sick, I've never been injured... what do I do now?
Elijah Price : Go to a place where people are... you won't have to wait very long.
-
David Dunn : I wanted to ask you a question. It's gonna sound a little strange, just think about it for a second, okay?
Audrey Dunn : Okay.
David Dunn : When's the last time I was sick? Do you remember?
Audrey Dunn : Um, I don't know. It's been a while.
David Dunn : I haven't been sick this year, I know that.
Audrey Dunn : Okay.
David Dunn : Do you remember me getting sick?
Audrey Dunn : Um... not a specific day. What - what's this about?
David Dunn : Audrey, do you remember me ever getting sick? In the three years we lived in this house? In the old apartment? Before Joseph was born? Before we ever got married?
Audrey Dunn : I - I can't remember.
David Dunn : Don't you think that's kind of weird, not remembering one cold or a fever or a sore throat? What do you think it means?
Audrey Dunn : Um... I think it means I'm probably too tired to remember.

David Dunn : Okay, I got you a seat in the yellow section. It's in the nosebleeds, but at least you won't get spit on.
Elijah Price : How'd you know the guy you bumped was carrying a weapon?
David Dunn : I don't know. Maybe it was the camouflage Army jacket he was wearing. Those guys like to carry hunting knives and stuff for show.
Elijah Price : You thought he was carrying a knife?
David Dunn : I thought he was carrying something, yeah.
Elijah Price : But not a knife.
David Dunn : ...I got a picture of a... silver gun with a black grip... tucked in his pants. You know, like on TV?
Elijah Price : You have good instincts for things like that?
David Dunn : Like what?
Elijah Price : Knowing when people have done something wrong?
David Dunn : Yeah.
Elijah Price : Have you ever tried to develop it?
David Dunn : I don't know what you're asking me.
Elijah Price : Your skill.
David Dunn : Look, I gotta be down on the sidelines during the game. You can get to your seat right down...
Elijah Price : Characters in comics are often attributed special powers: invisibility, X-ray vision, things of that sort.
David Dunn : Okay. I don't wanna play this game anymore.
Elijah Price : It's an exaggeration of the truth. Maybe it's based on something as simple as instinct.
David Dunn : But he might not have been carrying anything.
Elijah Price : But he might have been carrying a silver gun with a black grip tucked in his pants.

Elijah Price : I followed the guy in the camouflage jacket. He had a silver gun with a black grip tucked in the back of his pants. Were you really injured in that car crash in college? Because I believe you faked it. I believe you took the opportunity to end your football career, no questions asked. And I think you did it, of all things, for a woman. I guess that makes sense. Football's what... just ten years? But love? Mmm. Now that's forever. And that little bit of sadness in the mornings you spoke of? I think I know what that is. Perhaps you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing.
David Dunn : Most guns have a black or silver handle. I had a 50/50 shot of getting it right.
Elijah Price : That's not what I witnessed.
David Dunn : Stop. Stop messing with my life, Elijah. My son almost shot me last night because he wanted to prove you were right.
Elijah Price : I never said you couldn't be killed. I never said that.
David Dunn : My wife was right.
Elijah Price : There have been three major disasters and you were the only one unharmed.
David Dunn : I have been sick. When I was a kid, I spent a week in the hospital getting better from pneumonia. I almost drowned. Two skinny little kids were fooling around in a pool dunking me and I swallowed some water. They didn't know it and it almost killed me. Heroes don't get killed like that. Normal people do, right? I don't need to see you anymore, okay? Please stay away from my family.

[David and Audrey on a date night]
David Dunn : ...I think rust.
Audrey Dunn : Rust?
David Dunn : As a color, not as rust. You know, a rust-colored paint or wood?
Audrey Dunn : I didn't know that. Mine's still brown.
David Dunn : My turn. What's your favorite song?
Audrey Dunn : "Soft and Wet", by the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
David Dunn : What was that?
Audrey Dunn : We're supposed to be honest.
David Dunn : "Soft and Wet". That's very interesting.
