Doug Quaid quotes from Total Recall (2012)

Matthias

Mr. Hauser, What is it you want?

I want to help you.

Matthias

That is not the only reason you are here.

I want to remember.

Matthias

Why?

So I can be myself, be who I was.

Matthias

It is each man's quest to find out who he truly is, but the answer to that lies in the present, not in the past. As it is for all of us.

But the past tells us who we've become.

Matthias

The past is a construct of the mind. It blinds us. It fools us into believing it. But the heart wants to live in the present. Look there. You'll find your answer.

Oh, shit. Lori.

Melina

Who?

It's my wife.

Melina

You're married?

It's safe to say we're separated.

If I'm not me, then who the hell am I?

Lori Quaid

How would I know? I just work here.

Speculate.

Lori Quaid

If I had to guess, all the trouble Cohaagen's taken to hide you from the Resistance, you must be fairly important. And with your skill set, I think it's highly doubtful you're his gardener.

Cohaa... Cohaagen's trying to hide me? Why are you trying to kill me? Talk!

Lori Quaid

Call it the seven-year-itch, Doug. Oh. And by the way, you haven't even *begun* to see me try to kill you!

Tell me what is going on? Talk! Or we can skip to "Until death do us apart."

Lori Quaid

I'm not your wife.

That's bullshit. We've been married for seven years.

Lori Quaid

I'm U.F.B. police intel, assigned to play your wife. Six weeks ago. I didn't even know you.

What are you talking about?

Lori Quaid

It's true. Your memory was erased, your mind was implanted with a life you think you've lived. You keeping up, baby? There is no Douglas :Quaid, there never was.

Are you saying I don't... This... Every... Our marriage...

Lori Quaid

What can I say? I give good wife.

Melina

Hauser, we've been looking for you.

Don't call me... My name is Doug Quaid. I was born August 29th. All right. I was raised by my mother. She died of cancer before my 15th birthday. I married my girlfriend when I was 29!

Melina

You were born April 29th. You were raised by your father, not your mother. He died before you were 15, but in a car crash. And believe me, you were most definitely not married.
