Detective Walenski
They steal people's memories, you know? Then they swap them around between us. I've seen them do it! Back and forth, back and forth, until no one knows who they are anymore.
3rd most-quoted character in Dark City (1998): in 10 of its 42 quotes
Most scenes with: Inspector Frank Bumstead (4), John Murdoch (3), Emma Murdoch (2)
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!

[At a murder scene]
What's that make so far, Husselbeck? Six hookers in all?
Husselbeck I believe so, sir.
Give the man an "A" for effort.
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!
I was just thinking, what you do seems kind of dangerous right now. I mean, how do you know I'm not the killer?
May I don't. Why — you feeling any urges I should know about?
Mr. Wall
Do not fret, Anna. I will give you some more pretty things soon.
I'm not Anna.
Mr. Wall
You will be soon, yes.
When was the last time you remember doing something during the day?
What do you mean?
I just mean during the day. Daylight. When was the last time you remember seeing it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory, I mean like yesterday. Last week. Can you come up with a single memory? You can't, can you? You know something? I don't think the sun even... exists... in this place. 'Cause I've been up for hours, and hours, and hours, and the night never ends here.
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but what if we never knew each other before now... and everything you remember, and everything that I'm supposed to remember, never really happened, someone just wants us to think it did?
But how can that be true? I so vividly remember meeting you. I remember falling in love with you. I remember losing you. [pause] I love you John, you can't fake something like that.
No, you can't.
Husselbeck Everything Detective Walenski committed to paper should be here.
The only thing that should be committed is Walenski.
Oh, yes, Mr. Book. I have John Murdoch in mind.
