John Anderton
[Anderton rolls a ball off the table; Witwer catches it]

Why'd you catch that?

Danny Witwer

Because it was going to fall.

John Anderton

You're certain?

Danny Witwer

Yeah.

John Anderton

But it didn't fall. You caught it. The fact that you prevented it from happening doesn't change the fact that it was going to happen.

John Anderton
[about Witwer's father]

What does he think about your chosen line of work?

Danny Witwer

I don't know. He was shot and killed when I was 15 on the steps of our church in Dublin. I know what it's like to lose someone close, John. 'Course, nothing is like the loss of a child. I don't have any children of my own, so I can only imagine what that must've been like. To lose your son – in such a public place like that. At least now you and I have the chance to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone –

John Anderton

Why don't you cut the cute act, Danny boy, and tell me exactly what it is you're looking for?

Danny Witwer

Flaws.

John Anderton

There hasn't been a murder in 6 years. There's nothing wrong with the system, it is--

Danny Witwer

Perfect. I agree. But if there's a flaw, it's human. It always is.

Danny Witwer

I thought they stopped the murder?

Jad

That's just an echo. Precog déjà vu. Some of the really bad ones, the precogs see over and over again.
