ADJUSTMENT BUREAU QUOTESElise Sellas: Were you just looking at my legs while I slept? David Norris: I was helpless against the dress. Elise Sellas: It's a skirt. David Norris: It's a belt!

Elise Sellas: You're that guy running for Senate, aren't you? David Norris: I am that guy... yeah. Are you a registered New York voter? Elise Sellas: Do I sound like I am?

Elise Sellas: I'm not some hopeless romantic. I would never allow myself to be that way, but once I've felt, even for a moment, what I felt with you. Elise Sellas: You ruined me. I didn't want to settle for less. David Norris: I know the feeling. Elise Sellas: It scares the shit out of me. David Norris: I'm not going to hurt you. Elise Sellas: You don't need to say that. David Norris: I'm not going to hurt you.

Harry Mitchell: Being early is just as bad as being late

David Norris: I can go through this door alone. You'll never see me or the people chasing us again, or you can come with me, and I don't know what's on the other side, but you'd be next to me and that's all I've wanted since the minute I met you

Harry Mitchell: [talks to David] You're going to look for her, aren't you? You won't find her. They'll make sure of it. Even if they weren't trying to stop you, there are nine million people in this city. You'll never find her. Forget about her. Move on with your life

David Norris: What ever happened to Free Will? Thompson: We actually tried Free Will before. After taking you from hunting and gathering to the height of the Roman Empire we stepped back to see how you'd do on your own. You gave us the Dark Ages for five centuries... until finally we decided we should come back in. The Chairman thought maybe we just needed to do a better job of teaching you how to ride a bike before taking the training wheels off again. So we gave you the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution. For six hundred years we taught you to control your impulses with reason, then in 1910 we stepped back. Within fifty years, you'd brought us World War I, the Depression, Fascism, the Holocaust and capped it off by bringing the entire planet to the brink of destruction in the Cuban Missile Crisis. At that point a decision was taken to step back in again before you did something that even we couldn't fix. You don't have free will, David. You have the appearance of free will.

Harry Mitchell: Most people live life on the path we set for them, too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while people like you come along who knock down all the obstacles we put in your way. People who realize freewill is a gift that you'll never know how to use until you fight for it. I think that's the chairman's real plan. That maybe one day, we won't write the plan, you will.

David Norris: So you handle the important things? The last time I checked, the world is a pretty screwed-up place. Thompson: It's still here. If we had left things in your hands, it wouldn't be
